Chapter 6 of The Nude Adventures of Doff de Chonez
Chapter VI OF THE SECOND SALLY OF OUR WORTHY NUDIST DOFF DE CHONEZ PA SU MECHA Upon beholding his reduced library, Doff de Chonez displayed both sadness and rage, but he then seemed to understand the disappearance of so many volumes, and to calm down, after Dr. Nicholson explained that it had been necessary toContinue reading “Chapter 6 of The Nude Adventures of Doff de Chonez”
Training Pants-less
This past weekend (June 9-11, 2017) there were several World Naked Bike Rides held in cities in various countries. I’ve never participated in a WNBR, although I hope to have the chance someday. But meanwhile, in the city where I live, there was a 3-day biking event over the weekend, involving several different races, lotsContinue reading “Training Pants-less”
The Natural State
If you’re one to bare your skin to the air just about anywhere, then you better beware in The Natural State! The “shirt off your back” is what you’ll lose fast if you dare to unclasp your bra or your pants in The Natural State: a sentence, a fee – a price way too steepContinue reading “The Natural State”
Disrobing Suspense: Nick Alimonos
This series of interviews called “Disrobing Suspense”* is about the idea that writers of naturist fiction (and writers who may not identify as naturists but who nonetheless write about social nudity) deal with a particular set of recurring tropes or motifs that are necessary to the subject matter. In the same way that if you are writing aContinue reading “Disrobing Suspense: Nick Alimonos”
Dress Right
There’s a connection between clothing and rights that I want to look into here. It has to do with the word origins for “dress” and for “right.” In previous posts I’ve written about the right to dress or undress (here and here, for a start), and explored etymologies related to nudity and clothing (exuberant, reserve,Continue reading “Dress Right”
No Pockets
Ever since our hominid ancestors started walking upright, we’ve had the need to move things around with us from one place to another. The grip of our opposable thumbs was a huge benefit for carrying things, yet it was often necessary to use our hands to throw rocks or pick berries, while still holding somethingContinue reading “No Pockets”
The Quick and the Nude
a sonnet A message from beyond the grave I give, a lesson learned by one who dwelt in fear: Your body is your home. You cannot live but through it, in it. Breath and blood hold dear! You have but one life, friends: know this is true. So chest, and arms, and legs do not constrain.Continue reading “The Quick and the Nude”
Dump Your Duds at the Door
The nude welcome is a simple and yet profound welcome. Can there be anything as sincere as being welcomed to a friend’s home and being invited to remove your clothes? Your hosts are already nude, they prepare you something to drink, perhaps introductions are made if needed, and all during this time, you are unburdeningContinue reading “Dump Your Duds at the Door”
A Nipple For Your Thoughts
The function of women’s nipples in lactation makes sense. But why do men have nipples? It’s a great question. And there are many who have given their two cents: science, religion, ancient myth… But I prefer a different question: Why do we all (almost all) have nipples? To show that the sexes exist on aContinue reading “A Nipple For Your Thoughts”
