Naturism is a lifestyle of practicing non-sexual social nudity in private and in public; the word also refers to the cultural movement which advocates and defends that lifestyle. Both may alternatively be called nudism. Though the two terms are broadly interchangeable, nudism emphasizes the practice of nudity, whereas naturism highlights an attitude favoring harmony with nature and respect for the environment, into which that practice is integrated.[1] That said, naturists come from a range of philosophical and cultural backgrounds; there is no single naturist ideology.

Ethical or philosophical nudism has a long history, with many advocates of the benefits of enjoying nature without clothing. At the turn of the 20th century, organizations emerged to promote social nudity and to establish private campgrounds and resorts for that purpose. Since the 1960s, with the acceptance of public places for clothing-optional recreation, individuals who do not identify themselves as naturists or nudists have been able to casually participate in nude activities. Nude recreation opportunities vary widely around the world, from isolated places known mainly to locals through officially designated nude beaches and parks and on to public spaces and buildings in some jurisdictions.

Children and Nudity

For the first and only time that I know of, a scientific study was done over a period of almost 2 decades of the effects of a child seeing a nude adult. In this case it usually was typically their parents. The assumption among the so called experts was that the effect of a child seeing a nude adult would be damaging to their psychological development. One then has to wonder why primitive societies children are unaffected by nudity yet modern societies children would be harmed. This report shows that in no case were the children harmed by exposure to nudity, but rather as they developed, were more secure in their sense of self and self esteem and had a better sense of confidence in social interactions, especially for the boys. Having the mystery of the nude body removed, they could focus on relationships and not the nudity itself.

The report is quite lengthy and the terminology is scientific.
