Nudism, or naturism, is the practice of going nude or
unclothed in social and usually mixed gender groups, specifically in
cultures where this is not the norm. It sometimes occurs furtively in
secluded places in countries where appearing naked in public is illegal,
but enjoys widespread acceptance in other areas of the world. Those who
practice nudism are called "nudists" or "naturists". Some people believe
that being naked with other people is necessarily always sexual, or that
nudism is morally wrong or pornographic.
Naturists generally reject these views.
Typical activities are sunbathing and sports, but some nudists prefer
also to be nude while working etc., whenever the temperature and the
social situation allows it (including when one is alone).See Also
