Recently among our FKK facebook group members posted a statement about the importance of us naturists to get more aggressive in encouraging our lifestyle. Among the main points was that we can never completely understand a normal life of nudie fun while we're always looked down upon by greater society, and in some instances outright persecution by regulations.
The question discussed in the place, which can also be discussed extensively in the greater naturist community is, what can we really do to make society more accepting of our naturist lifestyle? In attempting to answer this question I discovered that one of the main problems is that such dialog can immediately become highly theoretical, esoteric and far too idealistic.
When one greatly ponders all of society's hang-ups with nudity, it seems almost despairing that we can make any essential change. But guess what happens?? I really don't believe that! It actually is not hopeless.
I do not need us naturists and nudies to over-think this thing to the point of analysis paralysis!' We can intellectualize any issue to the stage of throwing our hands in the air and giving up. So, though dialog might be helpful, actual change doesn't come by speak alone. It comes by taking activity.
When we truly engage the public with nudity in wholesome actions, people's perceptions alter what is more, it is only when their perceptions alter that we'll have the ability to ultimately see changes in laws. So without any further intellectualization of the problem I would like to address some actual practical things it is possible to DO to alter people's awareness. Here goes:
1) Come out of the closet Start With telling the folks you trust most that you're a nudie. You cannot ever be a highly effective agent of change as long as you continue to conceal your nudity.
Our personal experience of coming out' to our close circle has been quite favorable. It took some time to summon the courage to come out, but once we did, virtually everyone we have shared our nudie narratives with has reacted absolutely. It's included family, friends, and sure work colleagues.
There are some people with whom you may never share your bare life but in our case those are the minority. At the end of the day, if someone truly enjoys you, they would not care and might even be intrigued.

2) Host a unclothed dinner for someone you're close to and trust. Someone who has never experienced societal nudity before. We've invited many fabrics to dinner where we are nude. Occasionally the guests join us and get naked and occasionally they usually do not.
But in all events they have adjusted to our and / or their own nudity fairly nicely. By doing something as normal as sharing an evening of food collectively, folks begin to see that getting naked is a simple issue of freedom and relaxation in your home and skin.
They comprehend (possibly for the very first time) that it is not an orgy or swinger party, but rather just a regular social experience with the independence of being sans clothes.

3) Go skinny dipping frequently at locations where there's a history of nudity being tolerated. Just about everyone knows of a location out in nature somewhere, where folks skinny dip. Find that place and take action. In case you are there first you may set the tone by being nude if individuals arrive after you they will either leave, join you, or dismiss you.
That has been our overwhelming encounter we've got never experienced anyone making a complaint to law enforcement, although one must always exercise some caution. Nudity in distant natural places is usually not viewed as offensive and most folks accept it. It has the effect of normalizing nudity in a setting that makes sense to most people after all, it is not much of a stretch for people to take someone swimming in the buff.
If you arrive at a place and there are already clothed folks there, do not get naked without asking them first if it's alright particularly if there are children around (not because the kids will mind, but because the parents might). We've done this many times and have yet to be told that anyone would be offended by our nudity.

4) If your home is in a state or city where nudity to any extent (topfree, or total) is legal then by all means, organize an organization trip of nudies into a park or strand that's usually textile. We advocate a group, because it truly is more protected and more likely to make an impact of being ordinary and customary than if it is done as a lone action which might be more readily labeled as exhibitionism.
The more diverse the group in terms of age, gender, race, etc. the better. It is likely better to coordinate this activity at a park, playa or natural area, as nudity is likely to be more satisfactory in this type of recreational setting compared to Main Street. If you happen to strike an adverse response, usually do not react in a negative way.
Be respectful of the fact that people aren't used to seeing topfree or nude people in public and may want a little time to adjust. If they are open to discussing it is a good idea to question them about their reaction.

5) Encourage a textile buddy to one of FKK's many nudie events, or to go with you to your favourite nudist resort. Don't be discouraged by a NO' reply.
Keep inviting different people until you find someone who says yes - they are in fact out there!
