Last year, I was looking for a new home in a new area and after several weeks of unsuccessful searching, I pulled up in front of a home and new immediately this was the one. The total privacy of the back yard sold me immediately and the fact that I never have to draw a blind or curtains is fabulous. I love to be able to pour a cup of coffee and walk out to the yard and enjoy being naked and have the warm sun bathe my body and feel a cool breeze over my skin. I have introduced several female friends to the beauty of being nude and and now they some how find their way over on Saturday and Sunday mornings and they are also bring husbands and boyfriends. We have expanded our circle of nude friends and the only time I dress is when I have to leave for work or shopping. My family is still not sure of me being nude when they come over but have come to accept me for who I am.

I would walk around naked half the time it feels amazing to be in nature that way.

No, that’s not what the US Constitution says willem. The second amendment says: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

It’s saying that if all citizens have firearms, the military will be kept in check (because they won’t be the only ones with guns). The second clause is the operative clause: “the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” The first clause is the rationale.

Through the years I have come to be more open to nudity. Too bad it has taken so many years. I believe we should be able to dress as we wish. Going nude on the beach is how it really is meant to be. To swim carefree in this world, the beaches in the sun. The feeling of the air on my body and the coolness of the clear clean salt waters of the ocean were beyond words. To walk in the most natural and free way possible, like it was meant to be. Without a soul to care. Why is this country so uptight with nudity?

As a lifelong nudist, I enjoy finding places where I can be nude, but I do not do it if it is not officially recognized where I currently am.

As for Americans having the right to bear arms, why don’t you actually read your constitution. It says you have the right to bear arms if you belong to a militia. The majority of Americans with guns don’t belong to any militia group, therefore don’t have any legal right to do it. It’s in your own constitution people.

Sounds like a great place to me. I hope the laws do not change. People should feel free to dress however they wish. No clothing should be required! As long as they are behaving themselves and not harming other people it should be accepted like anything else, anywhere. It is ok to carry a gun and bear arms, but not to be bare? I don’t get it!

The Garden Of Eden Was The World’s First Nudist Park (Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:8-4:2)). Humans are not meant to wear clothes, animals and fish don’t wear clothes! The media had made nudity as a perversion into the human race. People, and including the media had created the idea that nudity / nudism is sin because of jealousy. They were ashamed of their nakedness and sought to cover themselves because of the constant false lies about nudism. People should learn to accept what GOD or what Nature had created on this earth when we have entered it.

We have a lot more serious issues in this world today than the issue of whether or not a person should be allowed to appear in public without wearing clothing. Get over it, prudes. If its hot I’ll take of as much clothing as I want to. If its cold I’ll put on as much as I want to. If we did not vilify and/or objectify our bodies we would be a lot better off. Why are so many people afraid of themselves?

I think it is wonderful that public nudity is both allowed in Vermont, and that these teenagers are bold enough, and have guts enough to enjoy it. I was raised in a conservative Christian home, and while I still hold to those same values, I see NOTHING wrong with this. I would willingly and gladly join them in thier nude excursions and fun time if it were possible, because it is a freedom to be yourself, free of the pretense that the world of textile clothing forces upon us. More power to them, and may all the other states of the Union catch up with Vermont on this freedom, which should be recognized as part of our constitutional freedoms of expression.

You should really go back to school. There is proof clothing is dangerous. Perhaps you should read > “Dressed To Kill” written by many doctors. My husband and myself are college grads and both hold high jobs with an income of well over $150 thousand a year after taxes, have a beautiful home out in the country and kids and we all go naked and love it and none of our educated professional friends have a problem with it and many come to our place to get naked n the weekends and enjoy the freedom. Get a real life Ricky and quit living in a shell.
