Exploring Nature

What comes to mind when you hear the word naturism? Most people might think that it's naughty or inappropriate but it's actually the practice of going without clothes so you can get a little closer to nature.
The first time I became aware about naturism was watching a film and it greatly amused and fascinated me. I became more and more interested in it because I thought it would help me to be more connected to the natural world. As it wouldn't be for everyone there are only specific places for it such as beaches, swimming, holidays and events. While it's not everywhere, I think that's perfectly fine.
Things to know about naturism are it's actually good for you because the human body was not designed to be wrapped in clothes, so in a naturist community, people in clothes will be the ones who will stand out. It's not about sex, it's not embarrassing and it's actually more popular than you think - there are 3.7 million naturists in the UK.
