NIFTY History, p.1
Founded in 1992, NIFTY (Naked Iconoclasts Fighting The Yoke) is a group of citizens who believe that people should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to wear clothing or not in public spaces. Essentially, the group formed in opposition to section 174 of the Canadian Criminal Code, which declares public nudity a criminal offense. However, we advocate for clothing-optional rights for everyone, not just Canadians. Although many NIFTY members are naturists or nudists, NIFTY is not a naturist/nudist group; we are simply a group of citizens who believe in the right of every person to decide what, if any, clothing to wear in public spaces.

NIFTY’s first official meeting was held in 1993, and we began renting Vancouver’s Templeton Park Pool for monthly clothing-optional swims in 1998. Since then, our membership has grown significantly, and several thousand people have been NIFTY members at some point over the years, with about 500 up-to-date members at any given time.

I’m proud to be a father, I’m proud to be a nudist and the combination of both make me a happy man.
Probably my greatest satisfaction is to know that I’m passing this natural way of life to a new generation.
When my son was very young (preschool age) his Mother let him play in the house in the nude, especially in the summer. I came home from work one day and my boy was running around nude and my wife suggested I join him. My son heard and exclaimed “Daddy be naked boy too!”
So, I stripped down and my wife sent her naked boys out to the backyard. We had a great time running around and kicking a soccer ball around. We also had a pool. So we were able to jump in and cool off and then get out and run around some more. My Mother in law was visiting and she came out with her camera and got some nice candid shots of us.
I love being a father and I love being naked. Having photos of those days is a wonderful memory!
My name is Greg and I am a nudist!
hi, greg I love your short how bonding you got to with your son…that is great…
lucky to have photos of those days
Not only is your wife to be congratulated for being cool with your nudity, but you are really lucky to have such an open-minded mother-in-law being OK with the male nudity.
Wonderful! I am 25 years old, and am currently single and childless. However, someday I want to raise a family of nudists. I want to not scold my children for seeing non-sexual, wholesome nudity on images on TV, movies or the Internet. Seeing these images makes me wish I had been raised nudist.
When I get my own home I plan to make clothing optional rules. I hope me, my wife and our children together can be naked at home and in social nude places and events with others who are nude in the future. Nudism is great and should be something practiced by all families.
Beautiful. I love being naked with my kids. Some of the most bonding times.
I was raised as a nudist,only at home though we lived on a very rural farm,not very many neighbors,so was Dad,Mom,Me was a very enjoyable life!! get up in the morning nude,be nude all day and night,come home from school and get nude,was great!1
hi, david…i would love to hear more of your story…with mom and dad…I am a single dad with my 16 yrs old son that lives with me…
So how did you handle being naked around your teen son? Does he join u in the nude lifestyle? I’m also a single dad of two teen boys. I’d love to be free around the house but not sure how to bring it up. Thanks!
Robert
David you are a lucky person, to enjoy nudity with your parents is great. I was raised in a very strict home, it wasn’t until I married, when my wife would join me nude after our daughter went to bed. It was the greatest feeling to be nude together. Unfortunately, when my daughter turned 2, it came to a halt, she did not want her to see us naked, I tried to convince my wife that being nude together would be great. No luck and my nudity stopped dead. After my wife passed away, and my kids were out of the house I then was able to be nude again, which is very enjoyable to me. When you marry, convince your bride that being nude is great and not a nasty way to be as some people believe nude is great.
I am now able to be nude once more and enjoying it once again. Nudity is the best thing in life, and I can enjoy that feeling once again. I wish my parents were nudists like yours.
Robert,
Just be open and honest with your boys and let them know that it’s perfectly ok for people to be naked together. I wish I had grown up in a nudist household. My parents made me feel ashamed of my naked body and being naked.
Hi Rayford. I’m Tim. My Dad raised me nude once I turned 11. Were still nude together a lot.
good that you have that bond with him that you can be naked even to this day! I wish i was raised nudist, but i’m very supportive of those that raise their kids nudist! Love the nudist lifestyle, and love sharing my nakedness with other people!
Hi. How would I share my story so you feel more comfortable with your child?
~~~
Hola. Como compartiria mi historia para que te sientas mas agusto con tu hijo.
Love being able to nude in and outside .
hi I’m Alex. father of nude family from small we raised our daughters in this environment. unfortunately there are very few families like that. we would like to know more..
hey. im a nudist father myself. believe me there are lots of nudist families. Do you ever go to the nudist resorts in California?
Anyone in the DFW area? I gree up naked with a friend and his father, great times.
I am a bit of a late bloomer with naturism as I’m now in my 50’s however, I always dabbled in being naked from as long as I can remember. My mom always said I wanted no part of clothes from the time I entered this world. Apparently she had a tough time getting me to keep my diaper on then my training pants then just clothes in general. As I grew into my grade school years, for the most part (notice I said for the most part) I kept being naked to my bedroom or with my dad bathing or working/playing in the acreage (I grew up on a farm of sorts).
Once I went to college, I went full throttle with nudity except of course when in class and most public situations (notice I said most).
Between college and about 4 or 5 years ago, I exhibited my natural born freedom whenever and wherever I could!
Now, I’m at a point in my life where I don’t give a rats ass (sorry) where I choose to be free. For the most part I do use common sense but hello very young age I always rationalized being naked ass… We all either have a penis or a vagina and they are just at different stages of development and may look a little different but truly we all are the same.
Probably not one of the best stories published here but it is my story. Peace and happiness to all nudists!
I’m not a nudist but I do love reading these little stories and comments.
Growing up, I had a lot of quality time chatting with my dad while he shaved nude after showering.
