Sorry that it has
been a while since my last post. Time
just gets away from all of us. If you
have been checking back occasionally to see if I have posted anything new, leave me a comment. If I see that people are actually reading
this, I will try to post more often.
As you know from my
posts, I listen to a podcast called “The Naturist Living Show”. This is the effort of the owner of a naturist
park near Toronto Canada. Throughout his
podcasts (there are over 40 of them now), he talks about “Ethical Naturism”. He even has one show dedicated to the
subject. You can listen to it here: http://feeds.bareoaks.ca/~r/NaturistLivingShow/~5/fPyupSI66sE/Ethical-Naturists.mp3
.
So what in essence
is ‘Ethical Naturism’? According to Stéphane
– and I wholeheartedly agree with him – an ethical Naturist has as their
guiding principal the practice of “Respect for Self, Respect for Others and
Respect for the Environment.” Also, the
true ethical naturist follows the practice of a non-clothing optional
policy. That is to say that when
practical – weather and safety permitting – the ethical naturist is nude. It seems that that should go without saying,
but at many resorts and clubs, clothing optional is the norm. As mentioned in the podcast listed above, if
a person is not encouraged by policy to be nude at a resort or club, they may
never be and then they or those that are nude will feel self-conscious about
being around the other. This limits the
ability for them to get the complete naturist experience. It is that complete experience that has been
shown to remove the fear and self-consciousness that people are often concerned
about when trying naturism for the first time.
I would encourage
you to either subscribe to the Naturist Living Show podcast through iTunes or
however you can get them and listen to them all. Download them to your iPod or MP3 player and listen to them as you commute or travel. Start at the beginning and learn how Bare
Oaks Family Naturist Park is a shining example of Ethical Naturism. As you listen, you will get an amazing amount
of the good, wholesome, family naturism philosophy
that seems to be making a naturist resort in the cold north country of Canada
an extremely popular place to go.
Peace,

Yo! I love your blog and think it is great someone in Kansas (I'm a Kansasan (sp?) too) understands and promotes naturism. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAlso, "The Naturist Living Show" is amazing. I like listening to those in the car, at home, anywhere that I can get away with it.
Keep blogging and I'll read it.
