'The health benefits of Naturism are well known, so what’s preventing women from experiencing them?' asks BN member Emma Farrell. 'For the uninitiated, the prospect of appearing in public without clothes can be extremely daunting. How can we make it less intimidating?'
Whether it’s the walk from the changing room to the pool, removing the towel and getting into the pool, or just the thought of being in the pool sans swimwear, overcoming these hurdles gradually feels easier than going straight from no experience of social nudity to suddenly being completely naked in front of strangers.
To encourage more women to enjoy Naturism, Emma is hosting a new Great British Skinny Dip – a Ladies- Only Clothing-Optional swim at South Forest Leisure Centre, Nottinghamshire on 10 June! She says: “Seasoned naturists are equally welcome, but if through doing this we can let some first-timers experience the liberation of being clothes-free, and the contentment of being a step closer to achieving self-acceptance, I consider this will have been a huge success.
If you’re even marginally tempted, book now. If you attend and aren’t quite ready to dive in, it won’t be an issue. But if you do choose to take part, I don’t think you’ll ever look back.”
