Naturism: A transatlantic comparison of North America and Europe

Do you travel?? Norm and Sophie take a look at the differences in naturism across pond... North America vs. Europe.

This episode contrasts the acceptance and practice of naturism (social nudity) in Europe and North America. European acceptance stems from historical context, cultural values emphasizing individual freedom, and strong naturist organizations, resulting in designated nude areas and beaches. North American acceptance faces more obstacles due to Puritanical roots and legal restrictions, although some exceptions exist. We explore the core principles of naturism—harmony with nature, self-acceptance, respect, and equality—as shared values across both continents. Differences in emphasis on the practice, however, reflect cultural disparities.
