Guest Nudist Blog "New Nudism" by KFFB - Kingston-Frontenac Free Body Society We regularly see articles from recognized, traditional nudist organizationslamenting the lack of younger members and, on occasion, predicting the certain passing of naturism unless something is done about it. Perhaps this can be a good time to look at what recognized clubs, groups and parks can do to support and encourage possible new, younger members. Support Nude Friendly Clothing-Optional Public Places We understand very few young people who got into nudism and naturism by saying "you know, I think we should drive to a costly private park to hang out naked with those who have nothing in common with us." A much more common scenario is that there happens to be http://arkiv.opensource.dk/samarbejde/index.php?title=Burning-Man-Naked--A-Naked-City-At-Burningman-k -optional beach nearby that is a great spot to hang out, or someone implies skinnydipping one hot night on a camping trip and it becomes the norm for the week. Just once this type of thing has become common do folks begin thinking about making naturism part of their escape from daily life. Individuals only visit naturist campgrounds, parks and resorts once they're already convinced that it's advisable. That initial introduction needs to happen in a casual, comfortable, youth-friendly public space - Wreck Beach in Vancouver is probably the continent's best example - where comfort zones can be corrected slowly, incrementally, without pressure. The creation and protection of public, clothing-optional beaches and parks is the single largest reason for groups like FCN and AANR to exist, and the number of such websites created, preserved or lost is possibly the only valid quantitative metric of the success of these organizations. With no large number of outstanding free, public clothing-optional websites to introduce new folks to the nudie life, private parks will indeed start to die off. New Nudism - A public skinny dipping area in upstate NY New Nudism: Encourage Nudist and Naturist Worth Equality. Admiration. Truthfulness. Living in harmony with nature. Open-mindedness towards new thoughts. A community totally free of crime. These matters are in the heart of what naturism is about, and they're very applicable - and very appealing - to the millennial generation. The clothes-optional nature of the resultant environment is a natural effect of these worth. Sometimes, though, the deeper and more significant facets of naturism get forgotten, and you're left with just "that park where everyone's naked." That can work for a short while, but the most successful naturist places consistently have a powerful focus on their core purpose and values. New Nudism: Comprehend Cultural Differences The mental must belong, to fit in, is a significant part of the human head. Usually, millennials don't feel like they fit in with baby-boomers. The age difference is frequently not that huge of a deal, but the cultural and socioeconomic differences can be overwhelming. These differences aren't only about superficial things like musical preference or popular fads; issues like that have been causing generation gaps for centuries. This time around, they appear to go much deeper - perhaps culminating in the prevalent notion among young adults that the now-retiring generation, having had an easy run with powerful economic growth in a simpler world, is leaving today's young adults to clean up the environmental, political and economical problems they created. Whether you believe this viewpoint to be more true or less true, it's an undeniable chilling effect on cross-generational relations. If an environment is dominated by baby-boomer culture, then (whether naked or textile) it doesn't bring twenty- and thirty somethings in any significant numbers. Companies hoping to entice a younger generation need to recongize that these ethnic differences are a make-or-break factor. It's not necessary to chase away the older bunch, needless to say, but there do need to be occasions, actions and facilities appropriate for http://wiki.piraatit.fi/index.php?title=A-Guest-Adolescent-Nudist-Personal-Story-q is striving to entice. This consists of selecting staff, event planners, DJs and so on who come from that demographic, participating with the communication channels they prefer to use, and paying close focus on the dilemmas that they're handling as significant. New Nudism: Comprehend the Economic Situation It really is part of human nature to look at everyone else's situation through the lens of our own experience and position in life. Consider a naturist park that bills a reasons fee of $20 per man each day, plus $5 per person per night to camp. For a couple to spend a weekend here, they are looking at $90 plus tax merely for accessibility to the park, plus perhaps 200 to 300 kilometer of driving - another $70 to $100, at typical cheap-student-auto running costs - to get there and back. While a $200 weekend might look quite realistic to someone with a great income, land ownership and a pension plan, it is a prohibitive amount to some graduate student or a retail worker who is already struggling to afford rent, bills and groceries.
