How could you be naked in front of others?
First off, just about everyone on this earth knows what a naked man or woman looks like. Nudists call people who are ashamed of their bodies "textiles", because they wear clothes to cover their bodies when there is no good reason to do so.
Most people have skinny dipped at one time or another, the reason is because it just feels good to be without clothes! Nudists are people who have accepted that there is no real good reason to have to cover up during good weather. We have no reason to be ashamed of the bodies that God has given us.
How many people wouldn't even think twice about getting naked with a stranger just to satisfy their sexual desires, but they would never consider living clothes free?
Nudism is not about sex!

You take your kids to these places?
Kids are born naked! Why would anyone want to teach them shame? And at what age are they supposed to be taught to be ashamed of their bodies?
The United States has a high rate of teen pregnancies because kids who are raised non- nudists have a curiosity of the opposite sex.
In the United States, the teen pregnancy rate is more than nine times higher than that in the Netherlands, nearly four times higher than the rate in France, and nearly five times higher than that in Germany. Advocates for Youth
No - Europeans don't run around naked all over the place, nudists don't do that no matter how much freedom we are given. European kids are taught respect for themselves and others, not shame and curiosity.

Have you ever taken a shower or bath without your clothes? Of course, that is a ridiculous question. We feel that it is ridiculous to wear bathing suites at the beach.

Isn't nudism illegal?
If it was illegal to be nude, our jails would be packed full of babies! Nudism is not a crime.
Of course, most people who are arrested while being nude are not arrested for nudity. Police officers can only arrest a naked person if there is a civil complaint about the person's nudity.
There have been some law makers in various states who have tried to outlaw nudity. The reason they always fail is because they can never present evidence that anyone has ever been harmed by social nudism. They end up indicting "respected" civic, religious, and government organizations.
The truth is, nobody has ever been harmed by social nudism. Children who are raised in our environment, grow up to be well respected citizens and parents.
That's why just being naked is not a crime! Read this IntellectualConservative.com article
