Body Freedom Day: When a Clothed-Minded World Unraveled

The main premise of Body Freedom Day is that it is a book from the future (2056). Author Ward’s clever little device makes the book a delightful read. He starts with a bit of naturist history, bringing the reader up to 2005. Then, he moves into future territory, marking the beginning of the Body Freedom movement as taking place in San Francisco (where else?).

I hadn’t read far, when I noticed a little device author Ward used to add authenticity to the futuristic claim. It was a small affectation but I found it delightful. Since the book was claimed to have been written in 2056, certain more modern word forms were used–words like thru, enuf, tho, altho, nite, and the like. It makes sense. Why wouldn’t words with useless extra letters eventually be changed in the future?

For a naturist, Body Freedom Day is a delight. It makes one long for the day when clothes will cease to be the mandatory condition of society in general. To be able to walk out the front door on a fine summer’s day in the state one left the shower (only dry), to go for a walk, or to drive somewhere on an errand, would be a treat indeed. As you read this book, you start asking yourself, “Why not?” Why not be able to go anywhere without clothing if the weather dictates? Why not be accepted as a person regardless of our state of dress?

From the start, it’s clear that author Ward is a public lands type of naturist. All of the references he uses in Body Freedom Day’s bibliography are from The Naturist Society’s N Magazine. In addition, a portion of the book’s royalties will go to select body freedom organizations.

I don’t necessarily agree with every premise author Ward makes in his extrapolation of the future but I surely had fun on the ride. The writing style is light and humorous and clips along at a merry pace. By the time you get to the end, you’ll be convinced that a clothes-free society is not only a possibility, it’s almost a foregone conclusion. Pick up a copy of Body Freedom Day to read on your next trip to the beach. Better yet, make it a clothing-optional beach.

Staycations Are Out, Nakations or Nude Vacations Are In!

Staycations are so 2009. It’s nakations in 2010. According to a recent unscientific TripAdvisor survey, there is one thing staying home more during vacations: clothing.

The online travel community asked 22,091 of its U.S. readers if they would bare all at the beach and 48% said yes. This is up from last year’s nude beach survey, in which 31% of respondents said they would “love to see and be seen” at a clothing-optional destination.

“Travelers indicate in their reviews that the real appeal of nude beaches has nothing to do with flaunting one’s flesh or checking out the neighboring eye candy,” said Amelie Hurst, a TripAdvisor spokeswoman. “Rather the spaces often benefit from a lack of crowds and beautiful settings that can be enjoyed by any demographic.”

TripAdvisor dedicated one of its recent e-newsletters to the nakation trend, highlighting the top member-recommended beaches for travelers to “strip down to their smile.” Little Banana Beach in Skiathos, Greece, took top nod, followed by resorts in Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Australia, Croatia and France.

“While nude beaches might be less common in the U.S. than in other destinations around the world, the interest certainly appears to be there, with nearly half of U.S. travelers we surveyed appearing quite comfortable in their own skin and willing to bare it all waterside,” TripAdvisor spokesman Brooke Ferencsik said.

A nude resort in Turkey is in the works, a hiking trail for nudists opened this summer in Germany, and campers are roughing it in the buff in Canada. From the full-body scanner controversy to flight attendants stripping down, Jaunted.com hasn’t just been keeping track of the nude travel trend, the site has ranked the top naked travel incidents of 2010.

Naturally, the American Association of Nude Recreation has been making news as this travel trend grows. In fact, the group — dedicated to rebuffing common misunderstandings of the nudist way of life — hopes the recent news of full-body scanners and Spirit Airlines’ carry-on bag fee will encourage nude travel.

AANR’s executive director, Erich Schuttauf, shed some light on the association’s response to the new fee. “If more air travelers take a stand and a nakation in 2010, it could send a message to the airlines using checked and unchecked baggage fees as a way to charge the vacationing masses more money in this tight economy,” he said. “All you’ll need for the week (sunscreen, cap, sunglasses, shoes and toiletries) can fit in a small carry-on that will fit under the seat, avoiding even carry-on bag fees.”

Nudist Beach Etiquette – A Guide to Nudist Beach Behavior

If you’ve never been to a nudist beach before, here are a few guidelines:

* Gawking is impolite. If you want to go to the nudist beach for a thrill, do everyone a favor and buy a magazine instead.

* Ask for people’s consent before taking their photograph nude.

* If you’re sunbathing nude in a secluded area, leave a bathing suit on a rock to let others know they are approaching an unclothed person. If you’re uncomfortable having your suit out of reach, bring a spare.

* On a wide open beach, position yourself in the open so you can see people coming and put something on before they get there if you need to.

* Get dressed before you leave the nudist beach.

* Be friendly, but respect others’ rights to privacy.

* Avoid sexual activity. It’s illegal and offensive.

* Advances of an unwelcome or unwanted nature are not acceptable anywhere, and especially at a nudist beach.

* Be Prepared. Sometimes, the nudist beach doesn’t have any amenities. Bring water, food, towel, sunscreen and anything else you need.

* Keep the nudist beach clean. If you carried it in, carry it back out.

* Know what the law is.

A Picture and 1,000 Words: Naked in Public

It’s safe to say that Philip Carr-Gomm is the rare man of letters who would admit to reading Playboy for the centerfolds, rather than the articles. His new book, A Brief History of Nakedness, is exactly what it sounds like, complete with numerous photographs such as the one seen above. But rather than providing flimsy justifications for his ogling, the book instead offers a sustained mediation on the spiritual, cultural and political implications of being naked in public.

The 50 peaceful women seen here are part of Baring Witness, a group of Iraq war protesters who posed nude in West Marin County, California, in November of 2002. As Carr-Gomm argues, “Nakedness makes a human being particularly vulnerable but in certain circumstances strangely powerful, which is why it has become so popular as a vehicle for political protest.” According to Carr-Gomm, by disrobing, protesters demonstrate that they are both fearless and have nothing to hide.

At least, that’s the ideal situation. Sometimes the political intentions of being in the buff can get lost, as happened during the recent expressions of G20 activism. “There’s a naked guy at Queen and Peter,” @one_more_night tweeted. “I think he’s protesting clothes.”

For a cold, northern country, there’s a surprising amount of clothing animosity in Canada. (Our country’s first nudist club formed in 1918, while it took until 1929 for the United States to be able to say the same.) In his book, Carr-Gomm mentions the Toronto-based Naked News (”the program with nothing to hide”), Montreal-born artist Cosimo Cavallaro (who, in 2005, created a chocolate sculpture of a nude Christ entitled Sweet Jesus) and the World Naked Bike Ride (created in 2004 by Vancouver’s Conrad Schmidt).

And, of course, the Doukhobors. A radical sect of Ukrainian Christians, the Doukhobors (which translates into “spirit wrestlers”) were considered heretics by the Orthodox Church and generally irritated the Russian government. So in 1899 the Doukhobors were encouraged to move their troublemaking to Canada, where they were promised 65 hectares of free land, a bracing climate, equitable laws, peace and prosperity. More than a third of the population (nearly 8,000) said yes, but by 1903 they were unhappy, and an extremist faction called the Sons of Freedom emerged, inspired by the Quakers and Leo Tolstoy. As Carr-Gomm notes, the Sons of Freedom “decided to mount a sustained campaign of protest against the government, whom they believed had reneged on their promises regarding land rights and were enforcing compulsory education in government schools.”

In May of 1903 over 45 Doukhobors protested by marching naked, were charged with “nudism” and sentenced to jail. Naked skirmishes between the Canadian government and the Doukhobors continued into the 1970s.

The Doukhobors were a rare instance of a religious sect demanding political reform through nudity. But there are plenty of historical examples that demonstrate the more purely spiritual aspects of nudity. And given that Carr-Gomm is the author of six different books with the word “druid” in the title (including In the Grove of the Druids and The Druid Way), it’s unsurprising that the spirituality of being in the buff captured his attention.

Druids performed certain rituals naked, or as they called it, sky-clad. Not that the druids had a monopoly on weirdness. As Carr-Gomm notes in a section about folk-magic: “English customs included sweeping a room naked on Midwinter night to then dream of your future husband, entering a lake or river naked at midnight to discover his face revealed on the surface of the water, and undressing at a crossroads on St. George’s night.” (Presumably, if none of these tactics worked, then your future husband was just not that into you.)

But even some Christians have adopted the pioneering work of Adam and Eve and embraced “naturism.” As Carr-Gomm points out, there are Christian Nudist Convocations along with provocatively titled books such as The Naked Christian: What God Sees When He Looks Right Through Me.

Given the general level of permissiveness toward being starkers, even a family newspaper like the Star can publish the Baring Witness women seen here without having to worry about angry mobs rioting outside 1 Yonge St. (Although the paper would go bankrupt if it was forced to pay $550,000 per nipple, which is the fine that CBS received from the Federal Communications Commission for the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction.) Spencer Tunick has built a career out of his photographs of multitudes of naked people posing in public places. And neither Puppetry of the Penis nor the Canadian version of the television show How To Look Good Naked generated much outrage.

To be shocking now requires “supernakedness,” which is how one reviewer described performance artist Annie Sprinkle’s show A Public Cervix Announcement. (The curious should use their imagination to figure out what supernakedness might entail. Or, failing that, consult Google.) As if to acknowledge that the coyness of the traditional nudie calendar is no longer effective or eye-catching, Eizo, a German medical imaging company, released an X-ray pin-up calendar in June. Each month a woman is posed provocatively, but the only thing visible is skeletal structure and high heels. Truly revealing, but not very sexy.

As Carr-Gomm notes, it seems impossible to believe that back in 1945, the BBC’s guide for comedy writers warned against using the word “naked” as a punchline. Today this prudishness is history. At the very least, it allowed humorist David Sedaris to joke about spending a week at nudist trailer park in his 1997 essay collection Naked. “I’ve noticed that when forced to go into town, the costumed nudists appear ornery and uncomfortable, like cats stuffed into little outfits for the sake of a wacky photograph,” he writes. “They claw at their buttons and zippers, their eyes wild and desperate.”

Which is to say that not every nudist has a political agenda. The Baring Witness women might want peace through nudity, but many others go naked only for peace of mind.

Family Nudes by Ralf Mohr

I like the idea of this collection very much–photographs of families who are comfortable enough with themselves and each other to be nude. For many viewing these pictures, there would be an apprehension that the models would be sexualized in some way but Mohr has avoided this, to his credit. Instead, there is something about the openness you have to have to be photographed like this that is very relaxing. There seems to be a complete lack of guile in these pictures.

I am curious about his choice to stick to pair groupings in most of his photographs–mother/child or father/child–rather than entire family groups. Perhaps this helps keep attention more focused on the models and their relationship rather than diluting it among more people; however, I would have been interested to see some of the larger dynamics.

As for the photos themselves, they are varied and often stunningly beautiful. Mohr works with normal people but achieves wonderful results, all the more so because his models look human, perhaps. The fact that the coloring of his photos is never natural does get a bit old after extended viewing and the switch between various coloring styles occasionally strikes as a bit odd but, for the most part, this is a small complaint. Mohr has done something wonderful here.
