Report: Rosenfelder Strand 2014 «The «active» may come back»

Naturism ‐ family leisure activity «Mee(h)r erleben» is a living image of naturism. What is « Mee(h)r erleben » in 2014? These are many varied programs, the joy of naturism and especially the community and the many meetings that have characterized «Mee(h)r erleben» as a family gathering on the Rosenfelde beach at the Grube village in « Schleswig‐Holstein».

Under the umbrella of the International Naturist Federation (INF), the German Association for Free Body Culture (DFK) and Sports Association of the Families of the region of North Rhine‐Westphalia (FSG NW), naturist all over Germany, but also many other countries have felt comfortable. «We were able to welcome 511 participants at the Baltic Sea, 438 of which were actively involved», as summarized by Günther Hedderich as organizer during his final speech in the evening. He again invited all active participants for the Rosenfelde event in 2015 and once again clarified that this event could not take place without the active contribution of all participants. Thus, we arrive at the moderate price for this family gathering. «Mee(h)r erleben» defies all the negative comments about the current continuation of naturism and shows that the German naturism is alive and well. Especially young families have the opportunity to learn the variety of naturist offers and to enjoy the family leisure time.

A record participation was noticed for the 5th naturist race. With 192 naked sportsmen and women, this exceeds all sports events organized until now by Franz Dirscherl. Whether for walking, Nordic walking or running, fans of all ages are looking to compete in 5000 and 10000 meters runs. «I am always amazed to see at what pain people are exposed to attend the naturist race», said Franz Dirscherl with an enthusiastic voice. Runners arrive at the Baltic Sea from various European countries, but also from the United States. Runners who wanted to walk naked through the countryside had the opportunity to meet at «Mee(h)r erleben» Nicole Wunram, pioneer of naked runs. With 61 runners, she has completed the + ‐6 km run around the naturist camp. «I always like to feel the Baltic Sea breeze caressing my skin» was not only a specific Nicole Wunram reaction. The «new clothes» of the emperor was the subject of a Body Painting session. Building sand castles enriched the creativity of young participants. Yes, the enthusiasm among the participants was simply perfect. «We all know each other and we look forward to meet again» was the conclusion of many naturist while closing the event. They all hope that the meeting retains its living character. It could be that the multitude of programs is increased so as to provide an even richer variety.

Celebrity nudists: the stars who like to let it all hang out
From Kate Humble to Helen Mirren, Robbie Williams to Brad Pitt, meet the stars who love to moon. Tonight, in an interview with Piers Morgan, Bear Grylls will reveal his penchant for naked swimming in open water (9pm on ITV). But he's not the first celeb to share his passion for a nudey frolic in the wilderness. Did you know this lot are all big supporters of naturism too....More...

Naked breasts appear on 'desexualised' adverts in UK shopping centres for the first time

Full-frontal images of women's breasts will be shown on adverts in public shopping areas, from today, to raise awareness about breast cancer. The photographs feature seven bare-chested women, each painted with a word they used to describe their own boobs, such as 'squidgy', 'doughy' and 'firm'. Large versions of the ads will be displayed outdoors in London's Westfield White City, St Enoch...More...

'Nude' Or Not, Women's Cycling Team Uniform Makes Waves

If one goal of the uniforms for a women's cycling team from Colombia is to attract attention, they're a smashing success. Some observers are calling the outfits — which in photos seem to feature a swatch of flesh-tone-colored fabric in their lower region — "rude," "wrong" and a "disaster." But others are defending the uniform and the cyclists who wear it, saying the criticism is entirely sensationalized. The...More...

Delegates undress to impress at international naturist conference

Delegates at this conference all wore nametags on cords around their necks — but for around 70 of them, that was the only thing they wore. Appropriately enough for Ireland's first International Naturist conference, many attendees were suitably undressed. Almost 150 people from 30 countries arrived in Leitrim yesterday for the four-day conference of the World Federation of Naturists. One issue was a...More...

Naked on a New York Street—for Art
On a busy Manhattan thoroughfare, the artist Andy Golub painted the bodies of nude models. Passing New Yorkers tried not to gawk. A flaccid human penis painted sea-foam green isn't what one generally anticipates encountering on her way bank from the ATM on a sunny afternoon. I could have walked by the man to which that penis belonged and his peers, who were also naked and covered in...More...

The growing trend of naked fitness

They're hiking in the Aussie bush, swimming Sydney Harbour and doing the downward-facing dog in yoga studios. These intrepid fitness and adventure enthusiasts have joined a growing global trend of clothing-optional recreational pursuits. So what makes exercise in the nude so appealing? While supporters of the concept talk about feeling free and "at one with nature", all of them stress that a less-dressed...More...

Naked swimmers attempt to break skinny dipping record in 13°C sea

Hundreds of naked people have braved the chilly waters of the North Sea in an attempt to break the world skinny dipping record. The participants climbed into the water at Druridge Bay, Northumberland, this morning and were hoping to beat the record of 800 skinny dippers that was set earlier this year in Florida. Unfortunately their bravery was not rewarded as only 300 turned up for the North East...More...

In Praise of Nude Selfies: A Portland Grandmother's Perspective

Your granny is most likely pontificating on the evils of nude phone pictures. Selfies with her friends with clothes on are acceptable and prove her hipness. But without clothes is another kettle of fish. As a granny myself, I assert she is wrong. Nude selfies are an important historical reference. Ask your grandparents how they can prove that they were fine physical specimens back in 1967 during the Summer of...More...

Shaffer: Naked 5K is a natural high – no need to be bashful

This weekend, I ran a 5-kilometer race through the Brunswick County woods, joined by 50 other joggers including a septuagenarian, an elaborately tattooed woman and an ex-Navy SEAL – all of us completely naked. I joined this group of nude strangers out of curiosity. Not the lewd or voyeuristic kind. But a genuine journalistic inquiry. What compels people to disrobe in broad daylight, save for Nikes...More...

Is Nudity Back in Fashion?

Is the bare human form still culturally offensive? For many the answer is a resounding no. With today's proliferation of nudity inclusive television, has nudity returned to its post-taboo status or are television contestants just more liberal than most? VH1's Dating Naked explores the relationship between sexuality and romantic attraction. The primary question that moves the plot is: to what extent does sexuality determine romantic attraction? In the show, the typical veil of clothing is removed and with it the body's socially determined sexuality. What's left is a human being who must find other ways...More...

International Naturist Congress being held in Ireland
Pat Gallagher is preparing to welcome visitors to Ireland, but he has no plans to dress up for the occasion. That's because Pat is the president of the Irish Naturist Association. The association is set to host the biggest event in the history of Irish naturism. The 34th International Naturist Congress will see delegates from across the globe descend on County Leitrim on 11 September...More...

WE SAY: Butt out and let the nudists be free

Our View: It is all very well to call for public debate over nude beaches, but will it really solve anything at Noosa National Park's Alexandria Bay? Known as A-Bay to those who surf and sun themselves in the area, the beach has been a nudist haven for more than 40 years. Tucked away in the middle of the national park's coastal walk, and quite a hike from the suburban hubbub both north and south of...More...

10 reasons you should go to a nudist beach (at least once)
We've come a long way from the early 1900s when ladies and gents on the beach were covered from their knees to their shoulders. Now we're rocking teeny tiny bikinis and schlong thongs. However, many of us blush at the thought of stripping down to our birthday suits, while nudists dare to go bare. Here's 10 reasons why you should join them – at least once...More...

THE FLIPSIDE: Living Naked — But Not Afraid

Back in the mid-1990s, the British fusion rocker Tricky had a scorching and somewhat clairvoyant line in his song 'Tricky Kid' that spoke to the fact that "everybody wants to be naked and famous." With the advent of television shows like Discovery Channel's "Naked and Afraid" and VH1's "Dating Naked," baring your bits and bobs — even if digitally blurred after the fact — for all the world to see...More...

Get rid of the prude and make way for the nude

Why is Queensland different? Twenty-nine years after then South Australian premier Don Dunstan declared the first official Australian nudist beach, Queensland is still arresting people for wilful exposure at unofficial nudist beaches. While South Australia led the way in the 1970s, Victoria and NSW followed in the '80s and Tasmania already has the state law to have clothes optional beaches, although it...More...
