'Shame Police'.



 Hi people of Nudeland,

Hoping here that you're all warm and well. Are you reading sat, lying on your back, walking or even flying??? Hehe. Whichever way, I'm glad that you're here yet again or even if it's your first time swinging by, you can hang your clothes on the hanger on your left.

We are all familiar to that feeling or by now I can say were familiar to that feeling of second-hand embarrassment, when we coming across a public nudity picture(s) or someone walking in rather revealing clothing in a public setting. O the cringe! Hehe. We cannot help but quickly scroll past it or hasten our stride past them when in person while looking away! Hehe. The reaction is not voluntary or even out of bad taste, but it just happens and every time we are left wondering why. To try and understand this, let's go back to the begin where it all starts...

In our younger developing years, most modern societies brand covering up certain parts of our skin(which we are all very well familiar with) as decent, and leaving these said parts exposed as indecent. This goes to the extent of shaming these areas. I can tell of how funny you now see this perception as. Yet in certain "approved" settings, the label is torn down and now it's suddenly decent. Hmmm, gets a little bit confusing. Your same body gets a pass here and doesn't there.

Over time, when trying to be in the good graces of the society's definition of decency, repetition of the word 'shame' co-related to this and that parts of your skin, gets ingrained into your mind. Now no one has to remind you of the do's and don'ts. You are now your own police, shame police. Woe unto anyone who breaks the shame rules. Not on your watch! 

You unconsciously shame your own nudity and that of others. Spotting the slightest of revealing clothing leaves you enraged and wondering why the person isn't following the rules like you are. "Don't they want to reap the reward of the society's applaud?" But if asked why in your own eyes the human body is shameful, you cannot pin point the exact reason why. 

Even if you're not 'fortunate' to inherit the society's body shame, there comes another one from the good ol' media. These are magazines,TV, social media, billboards etc whichever you consume. You are shown the 'perfect' beauty standards over and over again. Then you start comparing these with what you have. O and they weren't wrong by saying comparison is the thief of joy( face palm). You're robbed of your natural beauty and in turn sold the idea of beauty in the form of products. The marketing strategy has worked. The shame evolves into insecurities. You're now always in deficit of beauty 'standards' minus these products. You compare your body to those of the models advertising the products, out of shame you start hiding your frame, your skin is tucked away, goodbye sunshine...

But not all is lost fam, whatever can be learnt can also be unlearned. You can slowly begin tearing down these walls of shame in whichever areas of your life, doesn't necessarily have to be in regards to nudity. It can be singing, writing, podcasting, vloging, trying out that new job etc. Stop comparing yourself to whoever you deem as the gold standard. Rise as your own unique individual. We all are.

It's not your role to be the shame police. Resign from it.

Catch you on the next one!

What is Naturism?

 Hello there, I hope you are as well as these little birds busy chirping in my backyard. So, what is naturism? Naturism is a way of life which enhances harmony with nature, self-respect and respect for others,you can be naked while taking a meal, cleaning the house, doing laundry, basking in the sun, working out, doing yoga, reading, swimming etc. Can be amongst nature, either by yourself or with others. It's closely related and can go hand in hand with nudism, which has everything related to naturism, but now minus the nature part. In this blog, we are going to talk about the two merged together.   We have indoor naturism/nudism and outdoor naturism/nudism. In indoor, you practice non-sexual nudity within your house and in outdoor, it's a practice outside the house.  Butt...what are the benefits of naturism/nudism in the first place? Naturism helps in the general well-being of the mind and body, in connection with body positivity. We are brought up with a mindset th...

How to start living as a naturist.

Hello there, hoping that you're having a good time!  If you are new to naturism, you may wonder to yourself, " Butt how do I go about it? Do I cannon ball right into the deep end or first begin with swimming the shallow end of the nude pool? Well, you crawl before you can walk or you may start with running a full sprint if you wanna haha. We can all agree that it's always easy taking off our fabric when going to take a bath/shower. It's so automatic that we don't even have to think about it. Well start with this moment. The next time that you are stepping out of the bathroom right after reading this blog, just when after you are in your bedroom and done oiling up, give yourself 20 seconds of full nudity before dressing up. During this period, walk around the room, just as you would clothed. After a few days when you're already used to this, try lengthening this time to your comfort. When this also turns into a norm, try walking to and from the bathroom totally ...

Naturism as a Remedy to the Mental Health of Victims of Online Nude Leaks.

Hello hello ...  Hoping that you are having a good day/evening wherever you are. There has been a trend of people sharing others' private naked photos or videos on the internet, minus their consent, mostly since the dawn of smartphones from the 2010's onwards. For those doing this, not cool at all. Whatever your ill reason is, STOP doing this. This has the impact of victims suffering from societal shame, some to the point of trauma, whenever they recall the incident or when something relatable is brought up, and this is where naturism comes in to save your day. Since naturism embraces the concept of removing shame from nudity, with time after indulging in the lifestyle, you will realize that there really isn't any harm in someone seeing you in your most vulnerable nude state. You reclaim your power from those who intended to hurt through exposing your nudity, to the point that it is laughable. You'll even wonder what the big fuss was all about. It's not going to tak...
