The content of Public nudity is about naturism, there is no need for duplication.WriterArtistDC (talk)

If there is no discussion in the next few days, I will do the merge and make "Public Nudity" a redirect.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 03:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, but perhaps have a small section on the Nudity article that references this article. Griff (talk) 04:02, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a large Nudity#Public_nudity section already, but it is disorganized. I am working on the entire article.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 20:33, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The merge and redirect have been done.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 03:13, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Planned editing[change source]

I am working on Nudity which I hope will be focused on nudity in everyday life. This article should be about legal public nudity, whether organized or informal. I hope neither becomes a place for pictures of naked people that do not illustrate the nearby text.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 03:48, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Body positivity?[change source]

To many people naturism is a way of life. I don't know in what form, but body positivity should likely be mentioned. If you are unhappy about what your body looks like, you'll likely not do "common activities in the nude" with many other people, some of which are likely strangers.--Eptalon (talk) 20:05, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The second sentence in the new introduction I wrote is "Seeing a variety of bodies of all types produces a more realistic and positive self-image." I have much to add in the same vein.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 03:40, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Minor rewrite...[change source]

Hello, I added two parts:

The part that exhibvitionists, voyeurs and swingers are taking over some places; Naturists don't see nudity in a sexualized way; exhibitionism & voyeurism is often done for sexual arousal, swinging - being able to freely choose the person to have ex with despite being in a relaionship with someone all have sexual connotations. This is also expressed at the "COntroversy" section of the EnWP article.
I added a section "First contact..."; this is taken from the Germn article, and likely needs references / touchup.
