*Always put a towel or its equivalent between you and any public surface. *Stay in established nude areas. Know the physical bounds of the host club. To wander Naked into a clothed-only region, even if unwittingly , will offend many. *Admiration the property of others at all times. *Esteem the rights of others. Harassment or threatening behavior will not be born. If someone's behavior is making you uneasy, see a Naturist Society staff member or the club manager. *No obvious sexual activity. Nude is not lewd, but combined with public sexual displays, degrades our image and will pique other guests. *Abide by the photograph policy as set forth in the Photography Agreement. Only official Gathering photographers may shoot pictures in common places. Guests may photograph family and friends ONLY at their own camp or room sites, provided they have permission from everyone who will appear in the photograph (including unintentional subjects in the back- ground). Official Assembly photographers will ask before photographing in the common areas. Kids never should be photographed unless a parent is present, and both child and Let's Do Away With These 5 Body Shaming Opinions give their approval. TNS reserves the right to confiscate movie if inappropriate pho- tography is supposed. If someone seems unaware of naturist etiquette, clarify it, kindly and plainly . Give them a copy of this sheet. Do not let ill-mannered people ruin your fun or make Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer write: "When a lady learns to treat her breasts as objects that look bad. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT PARTY ! Naturist Gathering Etiquette Nudism may be considered "a kind of sport, in which individuals get nude in groups to take a bath of air and light, as one bathes in the sea" (Dr. Toulouse), that is, from a purely therapeutic point of Perspective; it may be considered, as the gymnomystics do ( gymnos means bare in Greek), as a return to an Edenic state, re-establishing individuals to a primitive and "natural" state of innocence (the dissertation of the Adamites of yesteryear). These two points of view give way to a third, ours: that nudism is, individually and collectively, among the most potent means of emancipation. It appears to us to be something else Thoroughly than a hygienic fitness exercise or a "naturist" renewal. For us, nudism is a revolutionary demand. * * * Revolutionary in a triple sense: affirmation, meeting fresh folks etc. Most of the folks were elderly , liberation. * * * Affirmation: to vindicate the ability to live nude, to get naked, to walk around naked, to relate with nudists, with no other care, as one uncovers one's body, than the possibilities of resisting tem- peratures. This is to affirm the right to the entire disposition of one's corporeal individuality. It truly is to proclaim one's casual nonchalance to conventions, morals, spiritual commandments, and social laws that, under various pretexts, keep people from disposing the different parts of their bodily being as they see fit. Against social and religious associations where the use or usury of the human body is subordinated to the will of the lawmaker or priest, the fkk demand is among the most profound and aware manifestations of individual independence. * * * Protest: to vindicate and practice the freedom to get naked is, truly, to protest any dogma, law, or custom that creates a hierarchy of body parts, that considers, for example, that revealing the face, hands, arms, or throat is more decent, more moral, more good than exhibiting the buttocks, breasts, abdomen, or the pubic area. It is to protest against the categorization of distinct body parts into noble and ignoble categories: the nose being considered commendable and the dick ignoble, for instance. More to the point, it's to protest against any intervention (of a legal or other nature) that obligates us to wear clothes because it pleases another --- whereas it has never occurred to us to object that they do not get undressed, if that's what they favor. 1 * * * Liberation: liberation from wearing clothing, or really of the constraint of wearing a costume that has always been, and can never be anything but, a hypocritical disguise insofar as it increases the Value of what covers the body --- of the accessory --- and not the body itself, whose growing, Nevertheless, is the vital thing. Liberation from among the chief beliefs on which the thoughts of "per- mitted" and forbidden, of "great" and "bad" are based. Liberation from coquetry, from the conformism to an artificial standard of look that keeps the differentiation of groups. Let us imagine the general, the bishop, the ambassador, the academic, the prison guard, the warden --- naked. What would be left of their prestige, of the authority delegated to them? The rulers know this well, and this is not the least of the motives for their hostility to nudism. Release from the prejudice of modesty, which is nothing but "shame of one's body." Release from the obsession with obscenity, currently provoked by the uncovering of body parts that Read more here: http://wiki.uni-wear.ru/index.php?title=Lets-Do-Away-With-These-5-Body-Shaming-Comments-z http://pilker.biz/index.php?title=Sydney-Ross-Singer-and-Soma-Grismaijer-write-When-a-female-learns-to-treat-her-breasts-as-objects-that-h http://www.animuj.pl/wiki/index.php?title=meeting-awesome-people-etc-Most-of-the-people-were-old-v
