For much of my life, the idea of naturism seemed foreign—but I knew that I didn’t like wearing clothing, even as a child. #naturism #naturist

We call it the half-naked truth. Because for all the talk about “body confidence” online, most of what we see isn’t confidence at all. It’s fear in disguise. It’s exposure with conditions.

Please share our new article.

Yeah I don’t think so.

Dustin @1naturistlife.bsky.social · 1d

The costume fits! I’m planning to treat it like a kilt and wear nothing under it. That is unless the weather is too cold. #naturist

On #NationalComingOutDay, we celebrate authenticity — the courage to live truthfully and without shame. Naturism echoes that same message: freedom in being fully, unapologetically yourself. 🌿 #Naturism #BodyPositivity #LGBTQNaturist

It’s #NationalComingOutDay 🌈 — a reminder of how powerful it is to live openly and authentically. For me, naturism reflects that same freedom: being fully, unapologetically myself without shame or fear. 🌿

Saying it again til in sinks in. If you post naked spread eagle, aroused sexual pics that is not accurate expression of the naturist way of life even if you use the hashtag. BTW we block that kind of account.

Walking outdoors without the confines of clothing truly grounds you. It’s an empowering experience that instantly helps you realize what being a human is all about.

Shed your clothing & rediscover yourself and your purpose on this planet.

I agree. It’s even more frustrating when you as the user properly tags the photo as “Non-Sexual Nudity” and then the AI automatically adds the “Adult Content” tag.

Dustin @1naturistlife.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah it’s been worse the last few months. My account just got tagged for the 3rd time as adult content. I’ve successfully had it removed previously but I think it’s AI tagging it.

Dustin @1naturistlife.bsky.social · 6d

@moderation.bsky.app Can you consider partnering with those of us naturists to better program your moderation and train your staff to properly identify non-sexual nudity in photos so you’re not tagging our photos incorrectly? We’ve tried to email with no response.

I’ve only ever gotten an email when they change it to “Adult Content”

Dustin @1naturistlife.bsky.social · 6d

You would get an email from them if they did and you’d see it labeled as such on your profile.

The silence of the forest, the warmth of the sun, and the honesty of nudity create a healing space no therapist’s office can match. #naturism #nudism #mentalhealth

Naturist etiquette is simple: respect boundaries, ask before taking photos, and always be kind. Oh and don't forget your towel! Let’s keep our spaces safe for everyone. #naturism #nudism #etiquette

Unfortunately you may be right.

Why is naturism still political in the U.S.? Laws restricting nudity keep the fight for body freedom alive. 🏞️✊ #Naturism #BodyPositivity #CivilRights

Portland's answering Trump's troop surge with an "emergency" Naked Bike Ride! 🚴‍♂️ As a naturist, I'm all for this bare-all protest against militarization. Join me in cheering on the riders! #WNBR #KeepPortlandWeird #NaturistFreedom #Naturism #Activism

Bare-It-All Protest: Portland's Emergency Naked Bike Ride Against Trump's Troops

As a naturist who cherishes the quiet freedoms of clothing-optional beaches and trails, I’ve always admired how movements like the World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) turn vulnerability into visibility.
