to carry books or magazines on this matter. After all, Naturists are not out to prove anything

to bring folks back in touch with their natural environment, free from the social pressures
The Naturist Society is an organization that encourages clothes-optional recreation
for the advantage of gaining a deeper understanding and acceptance of one's body. It ardently
opposes the idea of using the naked human body for amusement or sexual purposes.

promotion of an adult education program called Naturism in America. Some Nudism
courses are being educated in the U.S. today. Ideally, the NEF would like to see this class
offered to students on college campuses, but the odds of this happening is slim due to
the lack of pupil interest pertaining to the area, and the class meeting the aims set by
the school's board of trustees. Generally, awesome classes are approved by teachers from
