The world of fashion is always changing with every single day. It makes you wonder where the idea of clothes came from. At one point, man was more than content to walk around naked as he hunted for food. It is said that man started wearing clothing a little over 70,000 years ago. Before then, man has spent half his life walking around naked. Science has been able to conclude this by studying the body lice which hides in man?s clothes in order to live. The idea of staying naked or with few clothes is therefore nothing new to man.
A nudist is a person who does not wear clothes. Back in those days, most humans lived in warm climates and there is some indications that they were much hairy than they are today. It was only when they began migrating to colder climates that clothes were first worn and even then it was not modesty, but warmth that was the motivation. As we became civilized, the attitude about nudism was much different in the time of recorded history.
In ancient Greece, for example, the habit of nudity was so common that even our word, gymnasium, comes from the Greek word, gymnos, which means nude. Sports and nudity connected because nudity in athletic events was common and accepted in the athletics. Nudism as a cultural issue exists in only a few scattered and primitive tribes in the Amazon basin or remote Pacific Islands and these few remaining hold outs are under relentless pressure to get dressed.
Today, in what are called nudist colonies, or nudist resorts, people are selectively removing most of all of their clothing. This has led to some myths about nudity, or naturists, as it is sometime called. One such myth is that nudity is immoral. The reason is that it is seen as sexual in nature. It may be thought of as erotic or pornographic, but still sexual. In fact, nudist do not see themselves as either voyeurs- people who have a prurient interest in seeing naked bodies, or exhibitionists- people who have a prurient interest in being seen naked.
The nudists view their lifestyle as transparent, this is where one does not have to hide anything .They base that to the fact that people hide all their evil thoughts with clothes. Being in your natural form says a lot about the character that you portray to the public. They also base that to the fact that one can get a lot of nutrients from the sun. This is very dangerous as people are prone to the exposure of ultra violet rays that are cancerous.
The movement has several divisions of a philosophical nature within the lifestyle. One of the main ones being the "clothes optional" and the "nudity required" subgroups. Whether good or bad, the concept of nudism is yet to be generally accepted and some use that as an avenue to transmit pornographic materials yet for others staying naked it is just pure bliss and enjoyable
