OUR VERSION OF THE WELL KNOWN ‘205 ARGUMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS’ IN SUPPORT OF NATURISM.

Here is a list of thoughts, issues, laws, mores and other aspects of nudity. It is a good source of positive information, with references well documented. Most of it has been on nudist websites for years, but rather than link to it elsewhere, we wanted to incorporate it, and build on it, in our pages.  We are keeping all of it, clearly defined and credited, while we add items which have occured since, personal experiences and other information in the appropriate areas.

Thanks, especially, to Lee Baxandall, who contributed significant resources to this research.
