National Nude Day 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

On July 14, nudist groups worldwide observe National Nude Day by going “au naturel.”

Nudism is the practise of nudity or the defence of the right to do so. The vast majority of nudism takes place on private or specially designated property. Many nudists believe that the human body is inherently attractive and that clothing creates artificial and destructive social boundaries.

The background of National Nude Day

July 14 is celebrated around the globe as National Nude Day. As implied by the name, individuals remove all of their clothing during this holiday. This is viewed as a perverted concept by many, but the day commemorates freedom and the beauty of the human body. There is an entire subculture devoted to this concept, known as naturism or nudism (although the two terms differ slightly). The holiday originated in New Zealand before spreading to other Western nations.

National Nude Day originated in the early 21st century, when former rugby player-turned-television host Marc Ellis dared spectators to strip in front of New Zealand’s former prime minister, Helen Clark. The holiday is now observed in more than 30 nations worldwide.

Nudists believe that the human body is at its most attractive when entirely naked. This is debatable and frequently disapproved upon, but nudists encourage others to liberate themselves from the constraints of clothing. The health advantages of going nudist are indisputable. Numerous studies demonstrate that walking barefoot may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s by stimulating the brain’s neurons. Therefore, when the epidermis is exposed to sunlight, the body stores more Vitamin D. Fitted clothing restricts blood flow, which is an additional reason to avoid it. Benjamin Franklin enjoyed ‘air bathing’ by an open window, allowing fresh air to envelop his bare body.
