Rapid Quiz Question: Nudism is new and alien in the history of humankind. Correct or incorrect?
Answer=”Incorrect”
Scientists believe that humans lost body hair more than 1,500,000 years ago and began wearing clothes only about 170,000 years ago. This means that for more than 1,000,000 years humans lived without any clothes at all!

I would love to do this; the boy in me would love to be nude in winter and swim!
me to I never been in north or out( side club naturism but it must be cool
Burr !!! Nudism would be awesome butt in the cold…..I hate the cold even dressed.Yikes! Awesome how some people CAN do winter nudism though
pathetic
I swam nude in the winter in the Prairies with my Dad. It was on my Uncle’s farm and I was 16 years old!
I’ve done this.
It’s called “Snow Bathing” and is very common in countries in the former Soviet Union.
It strengthens the immune system.
OMG, they look so happy and not freeeeeeezzzzzinnng! I walk outside to the hot tub and I and my tootsies survive but I’ve never stayed out to play badminton!!
Most of pictures was taken after banja (sauna in Russian), and it is really good way to cool down.
Just so awsum to see families being a family. Not a cellphone in site. Would love to do sum snow bathing.
All I can ask is “Whhyyyyyy???” Why would anyone want to do that to themselves? Nobody loves being nude more than me but I can’t comprehend the desire to jump into ice water or the snow. I’ve been nude out in a snowfall a few times for the novelty of it, but only for a couple minutes. And I sat in the snow once, and it was painfully cold, like sitting on liquid nitrogen razor blades. Enjoying the warm summer air and lake water is infinitely more enjoyable. Of course, to each their own I always say, but I certainly can’t understand it.
BTW, are the children in any way forced into doing that, or is it completely voluntary on their parts? In one or two of the pics they look like they’re not enjoying it at all.
Now I know where the expression “freezing my tits off” comes from.
Hahaha!
I want these young children to know how lucky they are to have such a wonderful father and mother who permit them to go out in the cold winter weather in the snow and ice without wearing any clothes. These children are one in ten thousand to be permitted to be totally naked, not wearing any clothes whatsoever. Being totally naked outdoors in the cold wintery snow will help to build these children’s strength, stamina, and endurance. For how long are the children able to endure the cold wintery weather outdoors totally naked? Do the children get warmed up in a sauna? How many times in one day do the children run outdoors totally naked and for how long? Every young child would like to be able to go outside in the cold winter snow totally naked like these children. There is a treeless snow covered field surrounded by houses. I wonder what reaction this nudist family hears from the neighbors about permitting their children to run outside naked in the winter ice and snow? Are the neighbors’ comments mostly positive or negative? Every child should be permitted and encouraged to go outside in the cold winter weather completely naked, not wearing any clothing whatsoever. My praise to the father and mother for being such generous and kind parents. Thank you for sharing such wonderful photographs of your children. I would like to read the parents and children’s comments about their practice of nudism. All the children are smiling and are so happy having so much fun being naked in the winter snow. I love you all.
