Nude Recreation
: Activities like visiting nude beaches or dedicated resorts where clothing is optional.
Non-Sexual Intent
: Most naturist environments strictly prohibit sexual behavior or overt displays.

- The Bathroom Law Debates: Society is comfortable with nudity in locker rooms (functional) but panics at nudity on beaches (recreational).
- The Censorship Double-Bind: Television can show graphic violence (acceptable) but cannot show a nipple (obscene).
- The Body Image Epidemic: Prudism tells us to hide our bodies; nudism tells us to accept them. The resulting confusion leads to anorexia, body dysmorphia, and plastic surgery.
