Free Style Nudity
A group for those who want to be nude on their own terms - without the hassles and rules of organised and commercialised nudism and naturism.

I fully agree. I have to all but hide on the backside of my 12 acre plot.

I agree, but it all stems right back to the Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower.

The sexualisation of the human body and consequent suppression of nudity is one of the consequences.
