One way to make our way of life accessible to a wider audience, so that there is finally a balance: literature and (good) films about it.

Post #1 CharlieseTextile

Books and their contents can perhaps have a greater impact than a news report, an Instagram post, or even a screenplay summary. The images formed in our minds by something we read can sometimes last for years, and I'll never forget Pippi Longstocking. Of course, I especially love the lemonade tree because sometimes I think the three of them played naked in it: Thomas, Annika, and Pippi. It was summer, after all, and you could really have fun playing with a bottle like that.

I think we also have a good opportunity here to support the writers and authors who are working to make nudity or a liberal culture of welcome socially acceptable and accessible to a wider audience. Therefore, here's another recommendation for a wonderful publication about "US":

SMS - Shorts from a nudist familylife by Laura Bianca Wolff https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FYRJXHLR

but also: Jean Liedloff, "In Search of Lost Happiness"

Hey, great, there is a literature group here after all! Fantastic, Charliese, that you found it. If someone asks: is it worth reading? The answer is: yes.

Thanks for drawing attention to this book, "SMS: a View into the Life of Nudist Families", Charliese and Marlies. I have now bought the English version. It is written as a series of conversations with subscribers to a web site very similar to True Nudists. It provides a perspective from the point of view of a young woman brought up as a naturist/nudist, which is one not often seen in literature or the internet. Her life sounds idyllic, although her encounters with other subscribers have quite a sexual element to them, which may be too much for some people.

The main problem is that it is a very poor translation into English. I assume it was done with Google Translate and it shows that machines (luckily) still can't do everything. It needs a human editor to tidy up the language if it is to be properly accessible to English speakers. Nonetheless, I have reached page 68 out of 232 and will keep going.
