: For many, the lifestyle is about the physical and mental relief of living without the "status and discomfort" of clothing.

Both movements emphasize that bodies do not need to be "perfect" to be seen.

Critics often conflate naturism with indecency, missing the point that the lifestyle is arguably more decent and respectful than the mainstream objectification of culture.

It teaches that the naked body is not inherently provocative or shameful; it is simply human.
