House Bill 2133 would impose consent verification and long-term recordkeeping requirements on certain visual content, raising questions about how the law might be interpreted in relation to nonsexual nudity. While the legislation does not explicitly target naturism, its broad compliance requirements could create new challenges for publishers and organizations navigating the line between protection and expression.

Signs warning visitors about nude sunbathing at Playalinda Beach have been swept into a broader federal review of interpretive materials across the U.S. National Park Service.

On International Women’s Day in Paris, a small group of activists staged a protest designed to travel far beyond the street where it began. Wearing pig masks and painted slogans, members of Femen used their familiar tactic of topless demonstration to condemn powerful figures tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. This episode looks at the group’s long-running strategy of political nudity and the debate it continues to spark about spectacle, autonomy, and the power of images in modern protest movements.

The former home of Goodland Country Club, a historic nudist resort in New Jersey with roots stretching back to the early 1930s, has been listed for sale. The 35-acre property includes a Victorian main house, cabins, campsites, and recreational facilities that once supported a thriving naturist community.

There is a particular kind of love that does not insist on joining you in the sun. It waits at home, half dressed, cheering you on. In this reflection on marriage, autonomy, and social nudity, Dustin Cox traces what eleven years with a nudity-neutral husband have taught him about acceptance. The story moves through resorts and private balconies, through queer identity and the quiet negotiations of long partnerships, toward a simple truth: support can be more intimate than participation. As an audio piece, it lingers on gratitude, on the rhythm of separate passions, and on the rare freedom of being fully yourself while someone else stands beside you.
