A discussion with Mark Storey the author of “Cinema au naturel, a history of nudist film.” (We apologize for the poor sound quality of Mark’s voice. Due to a technical problem, the recording is difficult to understand.) In this episode, we explore the frequent conflict between naturists who wanted to promote the values of the movement against the commercial film producers who wanted to exploit the nudity of naturism for salacious reasons. In the early to mid-twentieth century in particular, many movies were made under the guise of nudism documentaries because of tough censorship laws.
This is the introductory episode for the Naturist Living Show.
It is a brief introduction to the show and its purpose and objectives.
Naturism is more than just taking your clothes off. It is a life philosophy with physical, psychological, environmental, social and moral benefits. The basic tenets of naturist are respect for self, for others and for the environment. Future episodes of this podcast will deal with topics that touch on these themes.
When winter gets me feeling low There’s just one place I want to go Can’t wait to see something live and green Shed these layers, follow me dear Shake of this grey winter right here The trees and us with nothing in between
Unconstrained by cold conventions Losing all our old pretensions Lord knows baby, we have paid our dues If we abandon all these modest schemes And ratify some better memes We’ve got nothing to lose but our blues
Naturally you, naturally me, naturally we Naturally you, naturally me, naturally we
Barefoot beginnings that’s a start To liberate our gentle hearts The grass between our toes no shoes or socks Release the threads that keep us bound Just leave them lying on the ground In a little pile beside those rocks
Far away from preconceptions No intentions, no deceptions Nothing left to hide, just like we planned Gymnasts, Sophists, dancers we Have never ever felt so free As running in this meadow, hand-in-hand
Natural you, natural we, natural me Natural you, natural we, natural me
To civ’lization we return soon But it’s only quarter past noon There’s still time to roam these acres fair Let’s go see how that river flows We’ll have no need for fancy clothes No uniforms or fig leaves if we dare
Taking off out in the woods No strings attaached, no shame, no shoulds We can just accept us as we are No other way we’d rather be Wearing smiles of joy we see From social constructs we have come so far
The springtime breeze we’ll welcome in Like a birtyday, born again Finding peace for life in our true skin Let’s have a picnic in the sun We’ll be like children, free and fun The sun and air; that’s what nature is
Nature is you, nature is we, nature is me Nature is you, nature is we, nature is me Nature is you, nature is we, nature is me Nature is you, nature is we, nature is me
