What do naturists mean when they talk about “social nudity” and “nude recreation”?
A number of things. But first, it s important to know what they don t mean. Misconceptions aside, naturism is not a code word for “sex” (see below). When naturists talk about “social nudity” and “nude recreation” they mean just that nude group activities. The variety of activities varies tremendously. There are nude backpackers, canoeists, kayakers, scuba divers even skydivers. For less adventurous types, there is everything from the traditional day trip to the nude beach or swimming hole to house parties, chartered cruises and weekend excursions to nude resorts or campgrounds. Most things that can be done clothed can be done unclothed and usually it s a lot more fun.
