NIFTY Constutution, p.3
While many NIFTY members are nudists and naturists, we are neither a nudist nor a naturist group. Membership is open to any person who supports our vision of Canada and a world free of legislated clothing requirements.

NIFTY History, p.4
NIFTY has held many events over the years: topfree and clothing-optional parades and marches, topfree picnics and book readings, clothing-optional dances and movie nights, and more. We also usually host a clothing-optional picnic following the Vancouver portion of the annual World Naked Bike Ride. While these events are celebratory in nature, they also serve to educate the public about the harmful effects of suppressing the natural body, and to advocate for clothing-optional rights.

John Collier – Lady Godiva (1898)
Lady Godiva
Lady Godiva was the wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia. In 1043 Leofric founded and endowed a Benedictine monastery at Coventry. People of Coventry were suffering under her husband’s oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva asked her husband to remit the tolls. Leofric said he would grant her request if she would strip naked and ride through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word and, after issuing a proclamation that all persons should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the town, clothed only in her long hair. Just one person in the town, a tailor ever afterwards known as Peeping Tom, disobeyed her proclamation in one of the most famous instances of voyeurism. In the story, Tom bores a hole in his shutters so that he might see Godiva pass, and is struck blind. In the end, Godiva’s husband keeps his word and abolishes the onerous taxes.

Vladimir Fedotko (gallery)
Vladimir Fedotko is a photographer from St. Petersburg, Russia. He is known for his talent to magically combine traditional drawing, photography and computer processing. Fedotko creates unique photos and fills them with fairy-tale characters. His images are bright and elegant. The artist shows a variety of stories that combine surrealism and fantasy.
Digital art appeared about 15 years ago and is very popular today among both beginners and professional photographers. Vladimir creates amazing images full of beauty, and mystery. Most striking in his work that it is not clear where is the photo, and where is the drawing. The artist takes into account everything – color, shade, and the texture of the object. You could say – this is magical realism in photography.

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.
Agreed!
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.
That was my dream growing up. You were very lucky.
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.
