Why Naturist?

Nudism, or Naturism as many people prefer, means a way of life in harmony with nature characterised by the practice of communal nudity. But why dispense with clothing?

Our society judges us by what we wear, not who we are. Naturism primarily encourages self-respect and teaches us that no-one needs to look like a TV model to believe in themselves. If you have the confidence to strip yourself of clothes and say "this is me, this is who I am" you will find that others will not care about (and probably won't even notice) your little blemishes. "Where all are nude, no-one is nude".

We live in a world full of stress where commercial interests try to convince us that if we don't wear the latest fashion, or own the most modern gadgets then we are failures. Naturism teaches that each of us has value and encourages an open, caring attitude to life, our bodies and others.

At Apollo we find that people enjoy being nude for many reasons such as:

The feeling of freedom we get without clothes.
The friendship and relaxed attitude of our fellow naturists.
Who needs clothes in Perth's hot summer?
The healthy, open and balanced environment for raising our children that naturism engenders.

Many people were introduced to naturism at the beach and will recall that first tentative time without a swimsuit, the feeling of vulnerability sitting on the sand, and building up the courage to stand up and walk down to the water. Our advice to you is give it a go, what have you got to lose but those unwanted inhibitions?
