He who sees perversion where it does not exist should take stock of the perversity in his own eye.
There definitely is a big difference between living the naturist live style and being perverted.
It is time society learned the difference between the two and stops seeing evil where there is none.

**Is Balmedie beach nudist friendly? Confusion after Aberdeenshire spot ‘among best in UK for naked bathing’**
The idea of the area being used by naturists has been described as 'disgusting'.
By Chris Cromar, March 28 2025
Balmedie beach in Aberdeenshire is known for its glorious sandy shore and dunes, but what about nakedness?
The popular spot, located just seven miles to the north of Aberdeen, has been put on a list of over 60 beaches across the UK by the Daily Mail.
However, there is some confusion over whether people are able to bare all there.
The article said: “A large expansive sandy beach, stretching for miles, Balmedie’s naturist section is located around the firing range, a short walk from the country park’s car park.”
Nudists better watch out if they are in the buff in the area, and not just due to it being located near the firing range at Blackdog, but because it is not actually a designated nudist one.
According to Aberdeenshire Council, Balmedie is a public beach and has no such designation.”
It is unclear how many people do strip off at the beach, however, it is featured on the Naturist Guide website.
Balmedie beach nudists – ‘Most people would be horrified by this’
Mid-Formartine Conservative councillor Derek Ritchie told The P&J that he had not heard of it being used as a nudist beach, but said the idea of it “sounds disgusting”.
He added: “As we approach the spring and summer months, Balmedie Beach is a local attraction for locals and the wider population. Most people would be horrified by this.”...

**BEACH BUM Six Scottish beaches named among UK’s best nudist spots – but locals aren’t impressed**
BEACH BUM Six Scottish beaches named among UK’s best nudist spots – but locals aren’t impressed
Puzzled punters flocked to social media to react to the list
By Zoe Phillips, 28 Mar 2025
SIX Scottish beaches have been named in a list of the UK's best nudist spots - but some locals disagree.
Naturists will be happy to know that there are still plenty of beaches that they can use to strip off.
It's not an offence to be naked in public - but there is a common law offence of "offending public decency" in Scotland.
It's best to stick to designated nudist beaches to avoid offending beachgoers, as many with young kids may feel uncomfortable.
According to MailOnline, there are six beaches in Scotland where you can be naked in public.
These are Balmedie Beach in Aberdeenshire, Cleat's Shore on Arran, Crakaig Beach in Sutherland, Kinshaldy Beach at Tentsmuir, Fife, Lower Largo Beach in Fife and Ostel Bay, Cowal Peninsula.
But some locals have been left confused by some of the locations on the list...

**Baptism or public scandal? Shock as naked ceremony unfolds at Victoria Bay**
By Aiden Daries, March 27, 2025
A camper from Gauteng was left stunned on when he witnessed a controversial religious ceremony at Victoria Bay.
The George Herald has reported that a group of women were baptised in a rock pool, completely nude, by a person dressed in religious attire. The shocking incident unfolded in full view of beachgoers and visitors on 15 March.
The camper, who chose to remain anonymous, described the ceremony as lasting around two hours. Some of the women appeared to be underage, raising concerns about the event’s nature. Additionally, a mysterious substance that caused the water in the rock pool to appear milky was added, though its identity and purpose remain unclear.
While the camper acknowledged the right to religious and cultural practices, he expressed discomfort at the public nudity, which he argued was illegal. ‘Being naked on a beach is illegal,’ he stated, referencing the potential violation of public decency laws, as he spoke to the George Herald.
The Wilderness Defence Force (WDF) was alerted, who then contacted local authorities. When the police arrived, the group had already concluded the ceremony, and conversations with the participants were held.
It remains uncertain which religious denomination the group belonged to or why such a private act was performed in a public setting...

**NaturismRE Calls for Body Acceptance Education in Schools to Tackle Youth Mental Health & Physical Inactivity**
A Future Without Body Shame: NaturismRE's Vision for School Curriculums
By NaturismRE, March 21, 2025
As youth mental health issues, body image distress, and childhood obesity surge across the country, NaturismRE (NRE) is calling for naturism-friendly body acceptance education to be introduced in Australian schools.
The proposed program aims to combat bullying, depression, and inactivity by helping students develop a healthier relationship with their own bodies — not through nudity in classrooms, but through education that fosters self-respect, resilience, and confidence.
"We're raising a generation of children who are more connected online than ever, but more disconnected from themselves. Body shame is stealing their confidence, their health, and in some tragic cases, their lives. That has to stop," said Vincent Marty, Founder of NaturismRE.
The Stakes Are High: A National Crisis
Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15–24, with body image and bullying listed as significant contributing factors.
Nearly one in three teens reports being unhappy with their body, leading to mental health struggles, withdrawal, and self-harm.
Childhood obesity has more than doubled in the past two decades, as students avoid physical activity due to fear of being judged.
What the Program Teaches...

**Greg James: Fremantle artist has bronze statue rejected from Sculpture by Bathers 2025 because it’s ‘too racy’**
By Jenny Schon and Lisa Thomas, 23 March 2025
A Fremantle artist has had his bronze statue rejected from a sculpture event after it was deemed too racy for the family-friendly show.
Sculpture by Bathers will run until April, transforming the Fremantle coastline into an open-air gallery that organisers boast will highlight “bold installations, intricate sculptures and thought-provoking pieces”.
However, Greg James has been told his $66,000 nude sculpture of Gaia the Greek goddess was not accepted to take part in the event due to concerns over public nudity.
The well-known sculptor said he was not angry about the decision, but that he didn’t understand it.
He said his sculpture was about celebrating mother earth and raising awareness on how we treat our environment but instead has become a conversation around nudity.
“Personally I don’t get that, I mean we’re all nude at some point,” he said.
“I was quite surprised and bemused because my partner takes our little dog for a walk up Bathers Beach every morning and there is always an abundance of little bottoms with g-strings.”
James said the rejection had started an interesting conversation about public nudity.
“Is this a problem for people or is this just life?” he said.
“For me and this world and the stuff that’s going on in the world ... I think we’ve got worse things to worry about.”...

**The World Naked Bike Ride is returning to Toronto this spring**
By Kimia Afshar Mehrabi, 23 March 2025
Toronto will witness masses of naked riders passing through its landmarks and streets this spring as part of the annual clothing-optional World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR).
The yearly tradition will see hundreds of bikers strip down to their birthday suits to protest against oil dependency and urban pollution, promote greater cycling safety on roads, and encourage body freedom for all.
Since its inception over 20 years ago, the traffic-stopping event has also grown to include riders protesting censorship and nudity laws. There's no cost or registration associated with the event, so if you're keen on joining, all you have to do is grab your helmet and sunscreen.
Make sure to also bring some body paint with you so you can decorate your bike (and yourself) with your message...

Motivation to try naturism/nudism:
Let go of insecurities and just be yourself.
You gain new experiences by getting involved in new things.
Social Nudity is nothing to be ashamed of.
It's amazing after about 10 minutes of conversation you don't realize you or they are nude.

**Steaming into tradition: A visit to the Arasan bathhouse**
By Teagan Mayr, March 14, 2025
ALMATY, Kazakhstan – Shirt, shoes, no service is the motto at the Arasan bathhouse.
The bathhouse was built in 1982 under the Communist Party of Kazakhstan and is one of the few remaining Soviet-era establishments in Almaty.
“Just over 200 patrons visit the bath house each day,” Diana Kaldybek, a guest services representative at the bathhouse said through a translator.
When learning about some of the bathhouse’s history during our walking tour on the first day, my friend Amy and I knew we had to go inside.
After a day full of altitude sickness at the Shymbulak Mountain Resort, we decided what could be better than sweating it out together at the Arasan bathhouse.
Following a confusing exchange with employees at the front desk, Amy and I weren’t entirely sure what we were walking into, other than a room full of naked women. We had thought the baths were clothing optional, however, we quickly learned that clothes weren’t allowed.
The bathhouse was filled with women of all ages, shapes and sizes, swimming in a cold pool together. As someone who has body image issues, I was scared to drop my towel and join the women in the pool but after some encouragement I waded in.
For the first time, I didn’t feel sexualized and if anything I felt empowered that I was there for no one but myself...

**Ladies-only ski festival with naked lap readies for fifth year in Glenwood Springs**
What you need to know about Boot Tan Fest before you go
By Tiney Ricciardi, March 18, 2025
Colorado offers an abundance of ways to experience nature in the nude, from clothing-optional hot springs to nudist hiking groups. Add to the list an all-female ski festival where women strip down for a naked run on the mountain.
You heard that right: Boot Tan Fest is a sun’s out, buns out celebration of womanhood, coming to Sunlight Mountain Resort in Glenwood Springs April 10-12.
Now in its fifth year, the festival has grown to include multiple days of live music, comedy and snowsport workshops. The signature event, however, remains the naked lap, which happens at midday on Friday, April 11.
Attendees this year don’t need to worry about sharing the slopes with the general public. Boot Tan Fest rented out the entirety of Sunlight Mountain Resort, adding a layer of privacy for those who choose to strip down and shred.
Founder Jenny Verrochi accidentally started this now annual event in 2021, when she organized a casual, ladies-only naked lap at a small backcountry ski area in Kremmling. The idea proved so popular that Boot Tan Fest has steadily grown over the years, welcoming about 800 skiers and snowboarders in 2024.
For Verrochi, the festival’s popularity speaks to the desire to escape society’s expectations and let it all hang out in a judgment-free environment. It is open to all female-identifying and nonbinary individuals.
“This is the only event where there is no male gaze and it’s so freeing in a world where we’re told to cover up and what to wear,” Verrochi said...

**I tried a nudist spa in Rotterdam - here's why you don't need Dutch courage to get naked there**
By ANDREW WELCH, 11 March 2025
It feels like playing truant.
I’m sitting on the Eurostar at 6.30 on a Friday morning, fleeing the country and escaping the daily grind.
The train plunges into the dark of the Channel Tunnel, emerging to views of rural France flitting past the window.
I’m on the way to Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ second city and, in particular, Elysium spa. Or as it is described on its website (elysium.nl), ‘The Ultimate Wellness Experience’.
Over here in the UK, the emphasis at what we call a spa is on ‘pampering’, and often advertised with images of prone, middle-aged women swaddled in white towelling robes with cucumber slices for eyes.
There’s a treatment for everything from your toenails to your scalp. Doubtless there’s a swimming pool and maybe a small, pine box in the corner of a room or two dedicated to sauna-ing.
To up the ante and give an added impression of a change of pace or treat to self, they often exist in grand country houses, and so if you’ve yearned to stroll around grounds designed by Capability Wotsit in a dressing gown, you can tick it off your bucket list.
In Europe, however, prepare yourself for palaces of steam, heat and water.
Treatments are available, but the focus is on a more holistic wellness, with indoor and outdoor areas littered with numerous saunas, hot tubs, plunge and swimming pools.
Another massive change from the scene in the UK is that nudity at Elysium and a great many other spas, is mandatory...

**Murder Mystery evening at the Mill Arms Dunbridge**
Join BN’s London and Southeast Regional for a new event at the Mill Arms in Dunbridge, a charming country pub in Rural Hampshire for a Murder Mystery evening 6pm to 10pm including a buffet. We will have exclusive use of the function room at the pub. This is a fully self-contained area with its own toilets and bar which will be open throughout the evening which means that it will be possible to be naked throughout the event.
This will be a great opportunity to catch up with friends and meet new ones in a naturist setting and enjoy a Murder Mystery evening.
There is a large car park at the pub, and it's only a two-minute walk from Mottisfont and Dunbridge Station, if you'd prefer to leave the car at home.
If you wish to stay the night the Mill Arms also has six rooms above the function room which can be booked directly with the pub...

With the truly spring-like weather this weekend, I just had to get on my bike and pay a visit to my naturist club https://www.lbn-duisburg.de to relax and unwind for a few hours.
I took an ‘ice bath’ in the 9°C water of the bathing pond, then warmed up in the sun at ~20°C and enjoyed my first longer sunbath in 2025.
