Nude recreation refers to recreational activities that are performed without clothing. This practice is often associated with naturism or nudism, which advocate for social nudity in a variety of settings. Nude recreation can include activities such as swimming, hiking, sunbathing, and sports.

History

The history of nude recreation dates back to ancient civilizations where nudity was a common part of daily life and certain rituals. In modern times, the movement gained momentum in the early 20th century, particularly in Europe and North America, with the establishment of nudist clubs and resorts.

Types of Nude Recreation

Benefits

Proponents of nude recreation argue that it promotes body positivity, self-acceptance, and a sense of freedom. It is also believed to foster a closer connection with nature and reduce the social pressures associated with clothing.
