Cultures that still practice nudity

Nudity or nudism or naturism, is a lifestyle of practicing non-sexual social nudity in private and in public.

Nudity is the state of being in which a human is without clothing.

In general English usage, nude and naked are often synonyms for a human being unclothed.

At the turn of the 20th century, organizations emerged to promote social nudity and to establish private campgrounds and resorts for that purpose.

The earliest known naturist club in the western sense of the word was established in British India in 1891.

The Fellowship of the Naked Trust was founded by Charles Edward Gordon Crawford, a widower who was a District and Sessions Judge for the Bombay Civil Service.

While it may be more commonly associated with Western countries, nudism has quietly found its place in various corners of the globe.

For some cultures in Africa, it has always been a norm.

These African societies for centuries, have incorporated nudity into their rituals, ceremonies, and daily life.
