One about Japanese nudist natural resorts?
 

In the US, there is a nudist resort association. Nudist resorts are especial places where people are allowed to live naked. It is a lifestyle that some naturist people follow because they think it is healthier.

I want to know if there are similar places in Japan and how Japanese feel about nudism.

Arigato!

日本の文化
 

日本にはそんなもんないよ！！
日本だけでなくそんなもんない国の方が多い

また日本人としてそんなもんいらない

nudism is not very popular in japan, because majority of japanese people are sane people.

but who knows, if there is one japanese media creator who is also a nudist, and he could create a cultural boom to make nudism more popular, i guess there will be such facilities to let nudists run wild and free.

until that happens, nudist should just be satisfied with 混浴 (mixed-sex bath houses)

I wonder how you difine sanity? With your love of Japan I'm sure you find the Japanese to be an example of being sane right?:rolleyes:

I have never heard of a nudist resort in Japan.

i'm not sure if sanity differs from one culture to another, from one school of thought to the other etc... but if i were to define sanity in the confined discussion concerning nudism, my personal opinion would be that sane people would find the idea of nudism socially inept.

so parallel with my personal opinion, that would make japanese people a sane society because nudist is not the majority.

i sure have a distinct positive affection towards everything about japan, but i think the word 'LOVE' is just too much to be used to describe my feelings about japan.

Frankly, I'm fed up with this OP's kinky interests in our country.

He had no sooner joined JF than he created a thread asking why some older Japanese women go abroad only to get pregnant by foreign men, which by no means is a common phenomenon as any 12-year-old could tell.

Now he's saying "Where's the nudist resort at?"

Just give us a break, will ya?

I've never heard of a nudist resort in Japan either and I don't want know about it.

Hi all
 

I am very surprised with your reactions and lack of knowledge. I was not expecting this.

I dont see the connection between insanity and the practice of nudism.

First of all, naturist associations exist since probably 1930s or before. People want to practice nudism as a lifestyle among other reasons because they feel is healthier (direct contact with nature). This would be in the line of a natural lifestyle that includes natural medicine, alternative energy, natural food, etc. A green lifestyle. Some of these people might not be in that line. but that was the original idea.
A nudist resort is an area that includes apartments, hotels, supermarkets, clubs, restaurants where people can legally live naked. These are small cities. I discovered then back in 1972 in France ( so it was built before 1972) but you can find them now in many modern countries like the US, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Sweeden, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, etc. Just check online international naturist association. People that practice nudism can be adults, whole families and people of any condition.

Obviously, this has nothing to do with a perverted activity, sex industry or pornography. There is no relation. That was not my question.

Of course, you can find perverts everywhere even in Japan. Japanese society is a heavily ruled and conditioned society which makes it an ideal place for hidden insanity. Japanese soul will conform to the social pressure not matter what. Although Japanese young people might look apparently creative with their customs, their souls respond to very old conditioning. When people is under that heavy psychological social pressure they might want to escape psychologically by smoking, drinking heavily or developing perversities ( personality pathologies) or even suicide. Apparently, they will look normal and they will function as normal citizens but something hidden is not right. If there is any country in the world where freedom has been tested is in the US. US might look chaotic sometimes but I have no doubt that one can express oneself with freedom.

You dont seem to have a profound knowledge of Japan. I think nudism in Japan has been a normal thing a long time ago. Just think that many cities in Japan had public baths where everybody was naked or the simple onsen where a group of people take a bath together.

If you cannot handle this questions correctly, I will start posting in Japanese language and calling things by their name.

You want the list of Japanese perversities, I will give you that list in Japanese language so you can understand.

hi
 

In relation to my other posts, I think you think very lightly.

You are answering posts too dogmatically.

Just because you say NO, it doesnt mean it never happened.

There is no human way to know.

I am sure it did happen but you just dont know.

History of Naturism
Nude swimming has probably been the rule rather than the exception during the history of mankind.

Public nudity was common in ancient Egypt under Pharaoh Akhen-Aton (1385-1353 BCE).
Students in ancient Greece exercised and received instruction while unclad; athletes competed in the nude. This continued until 393 CE, when the Christian emperor banned the Olympic Games because he considered them Pagan.
Ascetics in ancient India practiced nudity as part of their quest for simplicity.
The Japanese widely practiced nude communal bathing until recently. Today, there exists only "...a few mixed bathing pools in hot spring spas, and some mixed public baths in small villages in the deep countryside." 2
Five Christian groups from the 2nd to the 15th century practiced public nudity: the Adamites, Adamianis, Carpocrations, Encratites, and Marcosians.
Many cultures in tropical areas wear very little or no clothing, even today.
John Adams enjoyed nude swimming in the Potomac River.
Public nude bathing was common on the beaches of the UK by the 1840's.

During the reign of Queen Victoria, a period of sexual repression began which spread throughout much of the English-speaking world. At the height of the Victorian Era, it was common to cover all legs, even those of pianos and tables, in order to prevent sexual arousal. Bathing suits at the time covered almost the entire bodies of both men and women. Then, as now, much of society considered nudity and sexual arousal to be synonymous.

The following naturist landmarks occurred during the 20th century:

circa 1900: A return to nude public bathing was pioneered in Germany by a group of young weekend hikers called Wandervögel (migratory birds). They hiked around the countryside and skinny-dipped where conditions allowed. A second German group contributed to naturism; it was the Naturheilbewegung (Natural Healing Movement) which promoted the idea that the sun's rays had healing properties if they were enjoyed in the nude. German sociologist Heinrigh Pudor is regarded as the "father of nudism." He wrote a book "The Cult of the Nude" promoting naturism. This was at a time when the word "cult" had not taken on the negative meanings that it has today.
1903: The first naturist resort was opened up by Paul Zimmerman near Hamburg, Germany.
circa 1905: The British nudist organization English Gymnosophist Society was formed.
1929: Kurt Barthel founded the American League for Physical Culture. Members Reverend Ilsley (Uncle Danny) Boone, and family are recognized as the first leading family of nudism in America.
1930's: On one particularly hot summer, thousands of men on Long Island NY disobeyed the law and went topless. The law was changed in 1936 to decriminalize toplessness among men.
1940's: The Comstock Law, an omnibus anti-obscenity law was used to suppress nudist magazines in the US.
1958: The US Supreme Court ruled that naturist magazines were not obscene under that law.
1950's: Police raids on nudist groups became less frequent. One of the last occurred in Michigan in 1956. A Christian radio evangelist had campaigned to close down the Sunshine Gardens Nudist Resort. After a series of court battles, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that naturists had a right to practice nudism within private resorts.
Naturist Terms
Some people regard Nudism and Naturism as synonyms, as are nudist and naturist. However, many regard them as similar but not identical terms. They feel: A nudist typically prefers to visit nudist resorts. Some feel more comfortable there, being free of peeping toms and harassing law officers. Others like the social organization, activities and facilities that resorts provide.
A naturist typically prefers the great outdoors, free of boundary lines or fences. They typically visit public lands where there are few if any amenities.

The International Naturist Federation defined naturism as follows: "Naturism is a way of life in harmony with nature characterized by the practice of communal nudity, with the intention of encouraging self- respect, respect for others and for the environment." Some naturists prefer a wider definition and include individuals who practice nudity by themselves, with a partner, or within a family. Nudists are not rigid about the wearing of clothing. It is used if it is needed for comfort, if required by law, or if preferred in situations where others might feel awkward.
Textile is used as a noun to refer to a non-nudist, or as an adjective, as in "textile resort".
The word colony as in nudist colony is not used; campground, resort or park are preferred.
Landed nudist clubs are groups who own a naturist facility. Non-landed clubs meet at nudist resorts, landed clubs, or travel to wilderness locations.
Free beaches are public beaches in North America which have remote sections in which nude sunbathing and swimming is practiced. Two are officially recognized in Canada, in Toronto and Vancouver. A few free beaches are at least tolerated in the U.S. For example, South Gunnison Beach at Sandy Hook, is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area in New Jersey. National Park Service has posted signs there stating: "Beyond this point you may encounter nude sunbathers." Haulover Beach Park in Miami Beach, FL, is recognized by Dade County and by the City of Miami Beach, although signage is provided by the local naturist group.

o man, i really need to learn how to produce sarcasm in an easy-to-understand way.

japanese perversities is always an intriguing subject, and i hope to hear about it from experts like you.

Thank you for your right attitude.

err.. you're welcomed?

anyways, i think your questions has been answered.

I'm curious as to what his next thread will be. Who knows? Maybe it'll involve duct tape and some hamsters.

Hahah
 

The funny thing is that I got replies for both postings but not for the other posts I have opened.

One asks for a simple question:

How do Japanese condiment a seaweed salad?

No replies...


Are you guys only interested in sex and twisted thoughts?

Public baths and nudism are completely different things.

Japanese don't use public baths to express their nakedness. They go to public baths to get clean.

Privacy and nudity are regarded differently in Japan than in the west, which may be the reason you don't find nude resorts in Japan.

I saw one reply there.
