Preferred term

nudism  

Definition

  • Sometimes considered deviant, nudism is normative for more than 30 million people worldwide. Nudism and naturalism are sometimes used interchangeably to describe people who prefer to be clothing-free; however, persons describing themselves as naturalists are more likely to be spiritual and engage in clothing-free activities for the purported health benefits.
