3
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,729
LIVING NAKED
4
00:00:27,730 --> 00:00:32,930
In Search of the Lost Paradise
5
00:01:20,050 --> 00:01:24,020
Center nude BELEZI
6
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:30,020
I never told anyone ...
7
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,020
I'm on vacation
to practice nudism.
8
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:38,820
I have nothing to be ashamed of
or to want to hide, but ...
9
00:01:39,220 --> 00:01:42,520
I'm just afraid of the
reaction of some people.
10
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,820
Because you do not know what they
think or might imagine, because ...
11
00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:53,220
they do not understand its meaning.
12
00:01:54,820 --> 00:02:00,420
I think they can easily form
wrong opinions about us.
13
00:02:01,420 --> 00:02:04,620
On the other hand, I admit I find
it easier than a few years ago.
14
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:08,520
Perhaps because I'm older.
15
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:11,520
Now I can explain it better.
16
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:14,820
The hardest part is
deciding to come here.
17
00:02:15,220 --> 00:02:17,820
Once you're here, it's not
difficult to shed clothing.
18
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,220
You soon see that you're
not judged from head to toe.
19
00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:23,920
Everyone is equal and ...
20
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,120
nobody over-scrutinizes.
21
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Maybe in the past people thought...
22
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,520
people came here just
to oggle each other.
23
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:39,720
I think since 1968 people are
more open-minded about adornment
24
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,720
from knowing more about
the nudist phenomenon
25
00:02:42,820 --> 00:02:45,820
because it reached a
certain level of popularity.
26
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,520
I also think it makes
moral values deeper.
27
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,520
People are more
open to each other.
28
00:02:56,620 --> 00:02:59,620
I think so.
- Yes, it's true. Absolutely true.
29
00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:02,310
Anyway, it's no problem here.
30
00:03:03,310 --> 00:03:05,110
Laurent, he's playing again?
31
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:56,510
I'm Fabien, 18 and a half.
32
00:04:56,810 --> 00:04:59,300
So... why do I follow nudism?
33
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,400
I became a believer in naturism...
34
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,600
first and foremost, because my
parents raised me that way.
35
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,400
I just started walking naked
with others to get along with them.
36
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:14,600
I am Vilain, 20. I became a
naturist devotee this year.
37
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,100
I was offered a job here.
38
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:20,700
Initially, I was a bit confused
with everyone being fully nude,
39
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:23,700
but that feeling quickly passed,
and now I feel very comfortable.
40
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:27,700
In perspective, when the
norm is to be naked...
41
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,100
it becomes rather shameful to
require clothing as a crutch.
42
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,700
And I quickly found out why.
43
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,700
Shedding clothing means
shedding barriers.
44
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,700
Here people are not stuck judging
appearance, they look deeper.
45
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,900
Here, nobody really fixates
upon the naked bodies.
46
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
The more important human
appearance is inside.
47
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,600
I like this approach.
48
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,400
Of course ... we are young, we enjoy
charm, beauty, and attractiveness.
49
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,200
But there is also the beauty
that is too often concealed
50
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:00,400
including by clothing.
51
00:06:00,750 --> 00:06:04,200
Here we are naked.
You see everything.
52
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:06,400
Mystery can be attractive.
53
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,100
If you want to seduce by a hint
that the hidden may be revealed...
54
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,100
you must have something to hide.
And it's hard to do that here.
55
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,500
From puberty, when our
bodies begin changing,
56
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:22,700
and when we're awakening
to the role of sex in life...
57
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,900
we can be trapped in confusion.
58
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,600
Young people want to hide
that they are changing.
59
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,200
It's not easy to be free.
60
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:35,600
Very rarely do most young
people want to walk around naked.
61
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,400
Those aged 15 to 20 often
find nudity difficult.
62
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,400
They want to cover with
a towel or something.
63
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:50,500
At 14 or 15, everyone has the
same problem, nudist or not.
64
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:55,490
There is a saying: If in the
daytime you see a girl naked ...
65
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:57,590
then in the evening,
you will know everything.
66
00:06:57,790 --> 00:07:00,690
We try to understand,
to know each other.
67
00:07:00,790 --> 00:07:03,890
You know how she looks,
and you try to learn more.
68
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:06,690
The body is not the be-all
and end-all of glamor.
69
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:10,390
An exterior can be charming, but
the inside has more potential.
70
00:07:10,590 --> 00:07:11,990
Each can be winning
independent of the other.
71
00:07:12,090 --> 00:07:15,190
Nudity is no barrier.
72
00:07:15,790 --> 00:07:21,490
People communicate best through
eye contact not cleavage examination.
73
00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:23,490
We look at each other differently.
74
00:07:23,790 --> 00:07:25,790
Anyway in the evening,
everybody gets dressed.
75
00:07:25,890 --> 00:07:30,590
In those situations, who is or
isn't a nudist isn't interesting.
76
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:36,490
Of course, boys do want to see
girls naked. It's natural.
77
00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:39,590
But those who are not naked,
people that don't know better ...
78
00:07:39,790 --> 00:07:45,890
they think all naturists are
libertines or perverts ...
79
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:51,490
that we're a bunch of hippies
promoting public debauchery, ...
80
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:54,490
and indiscriminate sex ...
Of course, these are misconceptions.
81
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,590
Naked skin feels pleasant.
I see you and you see me.
82
00:07:57,690 --> 00:07:59,590
We have mutual respect.
83
00:07:59,690 --> 00:08:02,790
Even if you have big hips or belly,
I still love and respect you.
84
00:08:02,890 --> 00:08:04,490
It's sincere tolerance.
85
00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:11,590
I do not mind if you are fat,
because I respect who you are.
86
00:08:11,790 --> 00:08:15,990
We are not just our appearance.
- No physical barrier.
87
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:21,790
The inner you is likable.
88
00:08:21,890 --> 00:08:23,590
There is no physical barrier.
89
00:08:23,690 --> 00:08:25,390
This is a unique
spiritual connection.
90
00:08:25,490 --> 00:08:27,790
The body does not play a role.
91
00:08:27,890 --> 00:08:31,790
The body does not prevent
communication. I am as I am.
92
00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:34,490
You accept me as I am and I
accept you as you are, the same.
93
00:08:34,690 --> 00:08:36,690
It's great. It is mutuality.
94
00:09:05,580 --> 00:09:07,880
I participate in nudism
with serious intent ...
95
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:11,780
because I want to understand the
intent of other practitioners.
96
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:14,880
I want to know why is it popular
and became a philosophy.
97
00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:16,779
Naturism really is
something revolutionary.
98
00:09:16,780 --> 00:09:18,979
MARC Alain Descamps, philosophy
professor, psychologist, writer
99
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:22,680
It is something very new. It is
not easy to understand what it is.
100
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,680
It is not just
abandoning clothes.
101
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,680
People like getting naked,
especially for sex.
102
00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:34,780
In essence, naturism is
distinguished by three principles:
103
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,680
I'll call them comfort,
shamelessness, and symobolism.
104
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,480
By "comfort" I mean that a naturist
would prefer everything in the buff.
105
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,780
Walking, flying, cooking,
106
00:09:45,980 --> 00:09:50,280
playing sports naked...
Society doesn't allow it.
107
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,280
It all feels right, but
only nude bathing is accepted.
108
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:01,180
The second princple
is shamelessness.
109
00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:04,380
Again, all will admit that
nudity is natural, but ...
110
00:10:04,580 --> 00:10:06,180
most people have been raised
with a sense of body shame.
111
00:10:06,380 --> 00:10:09,380
Skinny dipping is maybe
okay, but nudity is annoying ...
112
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,180
in other situations.
113
00:10:11,380 --> 00:10:14,980
With naturists, nothing
about nudity is shameful.
114
00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:18,080
For them, nudity is simply
the most natural state.
115
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:23,280
And finally, for naturists
nudity is highly symbolic.
116
00:10:23,780 --> 00:10:27,780
By this I mean it represents a
whole set of higher values:
117
00:10:27,980 --> 00:10:31,180
freedom, harmony with nature,
118
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:33,180
peace ...
119
00:11:07,770 --> 00:11:11,770
Usually the first argument
against people going naked ...
120
00:11:11,970 --> 00:11:13,770
is the temperature.
121
00:11:13,970 --> 00:11:18,170
"I can not run around nude
because I'll be cold."
122
00:11:18,770 --> 00:11:24,770
People are not always
cold when naked.
123
00:11:24,970 --> 00:11:29,270
In fact, clothing blocks some
natural temperature adaptability.
124
00:11:29,770 --> 00:11:33,970
There are many tribes who go
bare in difficult conditions.
125
00:11:34,570 --> 00:11:36,099
For example, Eskimos,
in their igloos ...
126
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,069
Col de L'Echelle base near the town
of Briançon, Rhone-Alps range
127
00:11:38,070 --> 00:11:41,740
temperatures are from 0 to 10°
Celsius, and inside they lived ...
128
00:11:41,810 --> 00:11:46,970
naked, despite the cold
temperatures outside.
129
00:11:47,270 --> 00:11:55,570
Fuegians who use to live naked
in temperatures from -6 to 6° C. ..
130
00:11:55,770 --> 00:11:59,770
missionaries forced them
wear clothes...
131
00:11:59,970 --> 00:12:03,670
and they were quickly wiped out by
tuberculosis, syphilis and alcohol.
132
00:12:03,870 --> 00:12:07,770
If you live in a
Mediterranean climate ...
133
00:12:07,970 --> 00:12:10,870
you could go 10 months out of
the year without clothes.
134
00:12:11,070 --> 00:12:13,970
So what's the real argument
against naked people?
135
00:12:14,570 --> 00:12:18,170
What's the real
purpose of underwear?
136
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:23,470
You can't say that a brief or a
bikini is to protect you from cold.
137
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:25,370
No, a bikini is not for the cold.
138
00:12:56,860 --> 00:13:00,860
Maybe people think we're
crazy to ski naked.
139
00:13:01,060 --> 00:13:04,360
But when the temperature allows,
you can work or exercise nude.
140
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,460
It feels great to let your body
self-regulate exposed to the sun
141
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,560
and to warm yourself
with physical activity.
142
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,560
If you're sweating you're not
cold and evaporation cools you.
143
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,860
Nude daredevils may be crazy as
daredevils, not for being nude.
144
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,559
ALLEN Malbec, President,
Rhone Nude Alps Federation
145
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:25,360
If we stand still and idle...
146
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:29,460
the body cools and we
must protect it.
147
00:13:33,260 --> 00:13:36,260
We are not crazy,
but we try to ...
148
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:41,460
do the activities we like
at any time of year.
149
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:45,860
And this does not only happen
150
00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:48,860
in the center or a club,
not only in the summer,
151
00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:52,760
on the warm sand of the ocean.
152
00:13:53,060 --> 00:13:56,160
Skiing on the water is
different than on the snow.
153
00:13:57,660 --> 00:14:00,560
It is also fun.
154
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,560
The intention is not to be
ostentatious or provocative.
155
00:15:56,750 --> 00:16:01,750
I've been to Centre de Clapieres,
a small campsite in the mountains.
156
00:16:02,050 --> 00:16:05,050
I started with nudism
thanks to my husband.
157
00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:08,950
I wanted to know why he
was so healthy and happy.
158
00:16:09,250 --> 00:16:13,650
And I have discovered a way
of life that really pleases me.
159
00:16:13,850 --> 00:16:18,650
A state of mind, tolerance
sustainability and friendship.
160
00:17:06,740 --> 00:17:09,540
I am a former miner.
161
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:16,040
Then I worked in the chemical industry
in the production of ammonia.
162
00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:19,340
Because of that,
I went to Briancon.
163
00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:22,140
To improve my health.
164
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,840
Ammonia fumes affect the lungs.
165
00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:28,240
Here, I feel rejuvenated.
166
00:17:28,540 --> 00:17:32,340
All thanks to the
climate of Briancon.
167
00:17:33,740 --> 00:17:36,340
It is a very dry climate.
168
00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:42,940
And thanks to it, I had
the opportunity to live naked.
169
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:48,840
And I get a lot of energy.
170
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,540
Many people have told me that
they think nudists are crazy.
171
00:17:54,740 --> 00:18:01,740
We ... and I'll use a
vulgar word as they say ...
172
00:18:01,940 --> 00:18:07,740
that we are perverts because we walk
naked among men, women and children.
173
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,740
However, it does not cause
any problems with children.
174
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,240
But ...
175
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,240
I asked my children:
176
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,140
What does a woman look like?
177
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,740
What does a man look like?
178
00:18:25,940 --> 00:18:29,230
Children are curious to know.
179
00:18:30,330 --> 00:18:32,230
For us, naked is natural.
180
00:18:32,430 --> 00:18:37,230
Children are not damaged
by their curiousity.
181
00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:39,430
They develop normally.
182
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:45,630
I regret not following
nudism from earliest childhood.
183
00:18:45,930 --> 00:18:49,230
So do not criticize what you
do not do or understand.
184
00:18:49,530 --> 00:18:53,930
You have to experience, step
by step, to achieve understanding.
185
00:18:54,130 --> 00:18:57,530
You should not come naked
by winged words, no.
186
00:18:57,730 --> 00:18:59,730
You come naturally.
187
00:19:20,730 --> 00:19:23,630
Yes, naked in fear.
188
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:29,030
This is due to Christian
morality in our society ...
189
00:19:29,130 --> 00:19:31,530
nudity is only allowed
for sexual activity.
190
00:19:31,730 --> 00:19:37,430
So we have the association:
nudity, sex, sexual nudity.
191
00:19:38,930 --> 00:19:42,730
Those who do not know believe...
192
00:19:42,930 --> 00:19:44,730
we're doing disgusting things.
193
00:19:44,830 --> 00:19:46,729
If you go to our center,
194
00:19:46,730 --> 00:19:46,829
CENTER BELEZI
Vaucluse region
195
00:19:46,830 --> 00:19:48,730
you always find new people ...
196
00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:53,030
and they'll tell you:
"Oh, nothing happens here."
197
00:19:53,630 --> 00:19:55,430
"It's normal. It's natural."
198
00:19:55,630 --> 00:19:58,230
And then one begins to
understand our world.
199
00:20:20,830 --> 00:20:24,830
Why does society fear nudity?
200
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,220
Because it associates
all nudity with sexuality,
201
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,920
it presumes nudity is temptation
and arouses sexual desire.
202
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:39,020
Naturalism is clearly a big
challenges to those ideas.
203
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,320
All can see each
other's naked bodies.
204
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,920
And when we're both naked,
205
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,720
there exists a mutual interaction.
206
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,920
If one person is dressed
and all others naked,
207
00:20:53,220 --> 00:20:55,820
even nudists may be
uncomfortable ...
208
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,820
against the prying gaze of others.
209
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,620
And in the case of one person
naked amidst the clothed,
210
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,020
for example, a girl modeling
for photographers,
211
00:21:05,620 --> 00:21:08,620
the body is not so unobtrusive.
212
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,520
The advocates of nudity have
a simple and understandable claim,
213
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,320
that the normal for everyone is to
just be in their newborn clothes.
214
00:22:52,910 --> 00:22:56,210
Naked people do not want to
be separated from society ...
215
00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:58,710
and isolated in separate camps.
216
00:22:58,910 --> 00:23:02,610
They want acceptance.
217
00:23:02,810 --> 00:23:04,489
Human nudity has been around
since the beginning of mankind.
218
00:23:04,490 --> 00:23:06,609
World nude camp, GELIOMOND,
Saint SHARON, Essonne, 1964
219
00:23:06,610 --> 00:23:11,110
Living nude is a normal way of
life and doesn't cause problems.
220
00:23:11,710 --> 00:23:14,210
You can be naked in
every normal situation.
221
00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:17,610
And with the advent of
Jewish-Christian society,
222
00:23:17,710 --> 00:23:19,410
in the first four
centuries A.D.,
223
00:23:19,610 --> 00:23:23,410
the was even then a movement
to restore the naked life.
224
00:23:23,610 --> 00:23:25,510
They are called "Adamites".
225
00:23:25,710 --> 00:23:29,810
They imitate Adam and Eve.
The first naked people ...
226
00:23:30,010 --> 00:23:32,210
just as Adam and Eve.
227
00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:37,910
The movement grew even
when nudity was banned.
228
00:23:40,810 --> 00:23:44,710
The movement has survived
through the ages ...
229
00:23:44,810 --> 00:23:48,610
and finally appeared as
the new movement of naturism ...
230
00:23:48,810 --> 00:23:50,710
in the early 20th century.
231
00:23:50,910 --> 00:23:54,910
Under the name "Gymnosophie"
or "Naked Science".
232
00:23:55,710 --> 00:24:01,110
After the end of World War I,
after the horrors and carnage,
233
00:24:01,510 --> 00:24:07,710
there were those who responded with
a call for the ideal of a healthy life.
234
00:24:07,810 --> 00:24:11,810
And that is nudism, as we all know,
as derived from the French ...
235
00:24:11,910 --> 00:24:16,110
in 1926, by Marcel KIENE
The Montgeot initiated.
236
00:24:16,510 --> 00:24:21,900
And quickly grew up to
6,000 people in 1939.
237
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:25,000
War intruded on their activities.
238
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,700
But thanks to Albert Lecocq,
there was a new phase for nudism,
239
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,400
at the end of the war
and liberation ...
240
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,600
with the advent of the
French Federation of Nudity,
241
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:38,600
the publishing of a magazine
"Living Under the Sun" ...
242
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:42,000
and the creation of nudist
centers throughout France.
243
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,700
The first center in France:
l'Ile du Levant.
244
00:24:45,900 --> 00:24:48,400
Second center:
Montalivet.
245
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,900
Then the great movement
for free beaches,
246
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,500
and for local regulations
allowing nudism there.
247
00:24:56,700 --> 00:25:01,700
So, today we are a more tolerant
society without nudity problems.
248
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:17,690
Since 1968 there is a dream,
which is now regarded as utopian,
249
00:26:17,890 --> 00:26:20,990
for all of society to go nude.
250
00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:26,090
To start that, you first need one
municipality to go clothes free,
251
00:26:26,290 --> 00:26:30,690
where all the activities,
such as restaurants, post office ...
252
00:26:30,890 --> 00:26:32,890
and school -- all are naked.
253
00:26:33,390 --> 00:26:38,390
And finally they realized
that it is utopian.
254
00:26:38,590 --> 00:26:41,890
And advocates of nakedness today
seek a harmonious combination ...
255
00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:44,990
between those dressed
and those undressed.
256
00:26:45,590 --> 00:26:50,290
The biggest problem today
is respect for nudity
257
00:26:50,690 --> 00:26:54,890
full display of the body
258
00:26:55,590 --> 00:26:58,190
is a part of freedom.
259
00:26:58,460 --> 00:27:00,490
It is an important issue.
260
00:27:01,790 --> 00:27:05,390
I think we can distinguish
Three kinds of nudes:
261
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:12,290
undressed, stripped naked,
and voluntarily nude.
262
00:27:12,490 --> 00:27:15,490
You can see the
"undressed" everywhere.
263
00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:17,390
In cinema, the city,
264
00:27:17,590 --> 00:27:19,690
It includes the physical
display of skin.
265
00:27:19,790 --> 00:27:23,990
"Undressed" is intentionally
erotic and provocative.
266
00:27:24,190 --> 00:27:26,990
It is like the striptease.
267
00:27:27,290 --> 00:27:31,290
That's not nude, because the
body is never completely naked.
268
00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:36,490
Always there is something to hide.
269
00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:42,690
The second type, "stripped naked"
as opposed to nudism.
270
00:27:42,790 --> 00:27:47,690
"Stripped naked" is forced
to take off clothing.
271
00:27:48,090 --> 00:27:50,490
It makes people vulnerable ...
272
00:27:50,590 --> 00:27:53,490
because they are regarded
as inferior and insulted.
273
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,580
It was used by the
Germans during the war ...
274
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,880
or some police agencies,
correctional use in prisons
275
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,480
This is a way to intimidate,
to punish or humiliate.
276
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:35,480
The third type, voluntary nudity,
277
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,780
is not pornographic or
intentionally provocative ...
278
00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:40,780
and the nude are not humiliated,
279
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,719
expressing harmony with
nature, life, and the body.
280
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,420
Central beach camping Montalivet
Gironde region
281
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,270
My naked life began long
ago, exactly 60 years.
282
00:30:05,670 --> 00:30:09,670
I was born in 1911, and will
be 81 years old on April 6.
283
00:30:09,770 --> 00:30:12,549
I have friends who
usually dance with me.
284
00:30:12,550 --> 00:30:14,869
Christian Lecoq, co-founder of
the French Federation of Nudists
285
00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:17,770
And one day she told me:
286
00:30:17,870 --> 00:30:20,870
"Brethren, you want to join
with us to go to a center ...
287
00:30:21,670 --> 00:30:23,870
where we can play sports
and everything nude?"
288
00:30:24,070 --> 00:30:26,870
So I say:
289
00:30:26,970 --> 00:30:28,670
"Okay, I'll go."
290
00:30:28,770 --> 00:30:33,070
We went to a military
fortress with a drawbridge.
291
00:30:33,670 --> 00:30:35,670
It had been opened and they said:
292
00:30:35,770 --> 00:30:37,770
"Here you have to take
off all your clothes."
293
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:41,470
So we quickly undressed ...
294
00:30:41,570 --> 00:30:43,970
and one, two, three ... I went.
295
00:30:44,170 --> 00:30:47,070
After that, you should
not doubt, it grew fast.
296
00:30:47,270 --> 00:30:49,370
You didn't hesitate ...
No.
297
00:30:49,670 --> 00:30:52,670
I have no doubt.
For me it's interesting.
298
00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:54,470
The embarrassment was gone.
299
00:30:54,670 --> 00:30:56,470
We call each other by name.
300
00:30:56,670 --> 00:31:00,670
And I was introduced to Albert.
And so I met Mr. Lecocq.
301
00:31:01,670 --> 00:31:03,670
My mother was not happy.
302
00:31:04,870 --> 00:31:10,170
I remember being scolded.
At that time I was 21.
303
00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:15,670
But even at that age the young were
expected to obey their parents...
304
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:19,470
We really struggled to for
nudists, to protect their rights.
305
00:31:19,570 --> 00:31:22,070
All of us worked as volunteers.
306
00:31:22,470 --> 00:31:24,670
In 1949 we went to Ile du Levant.
307
00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:28,670
And a lot of people and my
husband wanted to lead them.
308
00:31:28,770 --> 00:31:31,470
And he said: "We need an
initiative for nudism,
309
00:31:31,570 --> 00:31:35,470
because every year
our numbers increase.
310
00:31:35,570 --> 00:31:37,270
So we need to
find something here."
311
00:31:37,470 --> 00:31:39,870
And then we opened the
Montalivet Les Bains area.
312
00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:45,470
We started there in 1950.
313
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:49,270
Of course, originally
all of us were vegetarians.
314
00:31:49,470 --> 00:31:54,170
We try not to smoke, don't drink,
do not eat too much meat ...
315
00:31:54,570 --> 00:31:56,270
It's a pretty steady diet.
316
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:59,970
It's optional, but we
do it for the health.
317
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,160
We tried to do something for
the young people who come to us.
318
00:32:04,660 --> 00:32:08,260
Do they notice me?
I do not know.
319
00:32:09,860 --> 00:32:13,860
We, the older naked people, are
the only stability in the community.
320
00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:16,260
Sometimes the weather
is not good, but ...
321
00:32:16,460 --> 00:32:18,460
it is true that people now ...
322
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,560
They want to fit nude to nude,
and dress when it suits them.
323
00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:26,660
Everything has changed.
It's a different generation.
324
00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:40,660
There are 2 million advocates
of nudism in France.
325
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,660
And the numbers continue
to increase steadily.
326
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,269
Nudity is one of the
ways to democracy.
327
00:32:44,270 --> 00:32:45,659
ERIC BULARD, journalist
328
00:32:45,660 --> 00:32:48,660
More and more people know that
it exists and is accepted ...
329
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,960
and this makes the public
more and more tolerant.
330
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,960
And I think that's all to
the benefit of nudism.
331
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,260
There are 5,000 to 6,000 readers
of nude newspapers in France.
332
00:33:00,660 --> 00:33:03,660
Three nudist magazines are sold.
333
00:33:04,060 --> 00:33:07,460
And it has developed. It's
interesting... the first issues
334
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,460
all genitals were
hidden or deleted,
335
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,660
otherwise it would have
been considered obscene.
336
00:33:14,060 --> 00:33:17,660
It's the philosophical approach ...
337
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,560
with lots of nudity
on the cover and inside.
338
00:33:21,660 --> 00:33:23,360
But all things
unsuitable deleted.
339
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:29,360
Then, it is true that we still
get classified as pornography.
340
00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:34,760
And to deal with
censorship, we try
341
00:33:34,860 --> 00:33:36,760
to avoid exposing
certain body parts.
342
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,960
But there's nothing shameful
about these places needing cover.
343
00:33:47,860 --> 00:33:49,979
I've been a priest since 1946.
Therefore, it is more than enough.
344
00:33:49,980 --> 00:33:51,759
Bishop Biondi
345
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,660
I've been a cleric and
the principal of a seminary.
346
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,450
So I do not just experiment
with the idea of nudism ...
347
00:34:00,550 --> 00:34:02,550
and I do not preach nudism
to the Catholic world
348
00:34:02,650 --> 00:34:06,450
but I do try to seek and give
religious counsel to the naked.
349
00:34:06,650 --> 00:34:10,650
Initially I was just a priest.
I was invited to visit the
350
00:34:10,750 --> 00:34:12,450
homes of some parents
for several days.
351
00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:17,250
After they trusted me, not as a
priest but as a family friend,
352
00:34:17,450 --> 00:34:19,750
they admitted they were nudist,
I asked: "Well, so what?"
353
00:34:19,950 --> 00:34:24,250
They asked me to come on Sunday.
And so I went to a nudist center ...
354
00:34:24,450 --> 00:34:30,650
And I loved it. Clean air,
children very happy, so free.
355
00:34:30,850 --> 00:34:34,550
That was several years ago.
I still have hair, I'm young ...
356
00:34:34,650 --> 00:34:38,550
And now look ... naked
it's healthy.
357
00:34:40,650 --> 00:34:43,450
Anyone who works to
become a priest or nun ...
358
00:34:43,650 --> 00:34:45,650
knows that they are
not forced to be nude.
359
00:34:45,950 --> 00:34:50,350
Not often must I wear religious
attire, so there's little laundry.
360
00:34:50,650 --> 00:34:53,850
But why?
Since they forged that attitude,
361
00:34:53,950 --> 00:34:58,550
to assert that nudity is sinful.
362
00:34:58,750 --> 00:35:00,950
But to anyone living
in a nude center,
363
00:35:01,050 --> 00:35:04,750
it is silly to believe
that nudity is sinful.
364
00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:09,250
Even on the beach, where
people may be undressed.
365
00:35:09,450 --> 00:35:17,550
No one likes to see people
caressing each other too obviously,
366
00:35:17,650 --> 00:35:19,650
even when they are
at the beach dressed.
367
00:35:19,850 --> 00:35:24,350
So I think, if it comes
to true morality,
368
00:35:24,550 --> 00:35:26,750
and this does not
just apply to my own ...
369
00:35:26,950 --> 00:35:28,650
If indeed it comes to ethics,
370
00:35:28,850 --> 00:35:31,550
people in a nude environment
will be more virtuous.
371
00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:34,150
I think that's the right direction
and I came to this conclusion.
372
00:35:40,050 --> 00:35:42,050
Nudism continues to grow.
373
00:35:42,650 --> 00:35:46,650
In the early days, people fought
for the right to be naked.
374
00:35:47,650 --> 00:35:50,650
And since we regained that right ...
375
00:35:50,850 --> 00:35:54,340
people can live in separate ...
376
00:35:54,540 --> 00:35:56,340
And to protect the nude
377
00:35:56,540 --> 00:35:59,740
in that area, nudity is optional.
378
00:36:00,140 --> 00:36:03,740
And myself, I write for the
magazine "Living Under the Sun" ...
379
00:36:03,940 --> 00:36:06,340
to try to put yourself in
that position to justify.
380
00:36:06,610 --> 00:36:09,240
Ideals of happiness,
is when people make peace.
381
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,440
And freedom is inviolable.
382
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,640
Now if you have the right to
walk naked at any time you want,
383
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,140
how you can force others
to also run naked?
384
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,640
That would violate the
freedoms of others.
385
00:36:21,740 --> 00:36:25,640
Nudism has developed because
it is increasingly understood ...
386
00:36:25,740 --> 00:36:27,540
that the freedom of everyone
should be respected.
387
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,440
Nudism has many advantages,
388
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,440
not so much on this subject,
389
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,640
as what we think is
important, healthy diet,
390
00:36:35,740 --> 00:36:40,820
pure water,
sports activities ...
391
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,440
gymnastics, and more.
A biological balance.
392
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,640
Nudism is growing,
because obviously ...
393
00:36:50,740 --> 00:36:52,640
those in the center
know that nudity works ...
394
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,740
much to invest in the region ...
395
00:36:55,940 --> 00:36:58,240
and the entire infrastructure.
396
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,240
They must see their
business is still profitable.
397
00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:48,030
We had 10 years naked.
398
00:37:48,630 --> 00:37:52,730
One day, I read in the magazine
an article about nudism ...
399
00:37:52,830 --> 00:37:55,930
and it attracted me.
400
00:37:56,430 --> 00:37:59,330
We called the League to ask
several questions, because ...
401
00:37:59,530 --> 00:38:01,730
if you do not know anything
about it, it's not easy.
402
00:38:02,030 --> 00:38:06,430
And on Sunday, we go to
Saint Cheron, near Paris.
403
00:38:06,630 --> 00:38:09,530
We felt a new way of life.
404
00:38:09,730 --> 00:38:13,830
And then we started
to live nude.
405
00:38:13,930 --> 00:38:17,030
We were really interested.
406
00:38:17,530 --> 00:38:19,630
The manager got together
with us and said:
407
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:22,630
"Listen, you've never done this.
You should discover what it is.
408
00:38:22,830 --> 00:38:28,830
Go inside. Look around and
see if you like it or not.
409
00:38:28,930 --> 00:38:32,130
Enjoy the weather outside for 10
minutes. If you like it, stay."
410
00:38:32,330 --> 00:38:35,630
Perhaps my generation
is a little bit old, but ...
411
00:38:35,730 --> 00:38:38,330
I do not like this idea very much.
412
00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:41,430
I think, like many
people, I'm biased.
413
00:38:41,630 --> 00:38:46,930
But no, Joelle really
has experienced this ...
414
00:38:47,530 --> 00:38:49,030
this environment.
- ... this movement.
415
00:38:49,230 --> 00:38:52,130
Nudism as a topic is
a bit taboo, because ...
416
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:56,730
there are some people who
consider nudity indecent.
417
00:38:56,830 --> 00:38:59,430
And many people have difficulty
with acknowledging that ...
418
00:38:59,530 --> 00:39:04,930
they practice nudism.
419
00:39:06,630 --> 00:39:10,930
I think some people don't
understand naturist philosophy...
420
00:39:11,130 --> 00:39:14,930
the world has had sexual
preconceptions and biases.
421
00:39:16,130 --> 00:39:20,230
Everyone naked can be as boring
as everyone being clothed.
422
00:39:20,530 --> 00:39:23,630
Girls wearing thongs and
showing their butts ...
423
00:39:23,830 --> 00:39:26,230
looks as interesting as
a girl completely naked.
424
00:39:36,530 --> 00:39:39,630
Nudists can be as sexual
as any other person.
425
00:39:39,930 --> 00:39:42,130
Some are married and
some are single.
426
00:39:42,330 --> 00:39:46,520
Nudists have the same birth
rate as people dressed.
427
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,320
But sexual pleasure among
the two are not identical.
428
00:39:49,620 --> 00:39:54,320
Everyone in this field
has some prejudice.
429
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,820
The eroticism is different. A nudist's
entire body is open to eroticism.
430
00:39:59,020 --> 00:40:04,720
Exposure to air, light,
the sun, the water ...
431
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,420
create a sense of eroticism on the
skin, and that is very important ...
432
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,620
and people do not have this
experience while wearing cloth.
433
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:15,520
Clothing is almost
like a dog's collar.
434
00:40:15,620 --> 00:40:18,520
A leash tied to society.
435
00:40:18,620 --> 00:40:20,420
It is a sign of civilization.
436
00:40:20,620 --> 00:40:23,320
So, without the collar,
we feel completely free.
437
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,320
And body exposure
to the waves ...
438
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,620
is something that must be
experienced to appreciate.
439
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:33,920
The feeling is completely different
than with even a tiny bathing suit.
440
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:49,120
We were invited to a campsite
and didn't expect nudism.
441
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:50,920
We arrived in the evening ...
442
00:40:52,020 --> 00:40:54,520
and in the morning, my mother
and I were surprised because ...
443
00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:57,420
everyone was naked
around the campsite.
444
00:40:57,620 --> 00:41:03,120
And so naturally we felt obliged
to follow the rules of the camp.
445
00:41:03,220 --> 00:41:07,020
It was a little difficult.
I was shy, at 10 years old.
446
00:41:08,620 --> 00:41:11,220
But nevertheless ...
447
00:41:11,620 --> 00:41:14,620
at the end of the holiday,
we bought a mobile home.
448
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:17,520
And since then, we use
all the holidays to come.
449
00:41:17,620 --> 00:41:20,620
Now I'm a real nudist.
450
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:23,620
With my 22 years, I am well
aware of all the positive aspects,
451
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,520
all the good things that
nudism has brought me ...
452
00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:32,620
Especially I feel my body
is in a healthier state ...
453
00:41:32,820 --> 00:41:36,520
and there are other benefits.
Some thing I do not like.
454
00:41:36,620 --> 00:41:40,610
Like when I discuss life
and such with other people, ...
455
00:41:40,710 --> 00:41:44,310
like discussing events
with a hidebound,
456
00:41:44,610 --> 00:41:48,310
a follower of traditional
life, they'll be less open.
457
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,310
They talk in clichés.
My nudist friends are open.
458
00:41:51,410 --> 00:41:53,610
So, I can discuss anything
with them quite easily.
459
00:41:55,110 --> 00:41:58,410
But the hidebound do not say much.
They rarely ask me about anything.
460
00:41:58,510 --> 00:42:02,410
They still believe in
the usual clichés.
461
00:42:02,610 --> 00:42:05,010
For them, nudism is
just about being naked.
462
00:42:05,410 --> 00:42:09,210
They do not realize that
it's a real lifestyle.
463
00:42:09,310 --> 00:42:14,010
Naked spirit is growing and...
464
00:42:14,710 --> 00:42:17,010
becoming widespread.
465
00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:20,210
Normally, they spend time at nude
466
00:42:20,610 --> 00:42:23,310
which took time to get dressed more.
467
00:42:23,710 --> 00:42:25,710
Nudity is considered ...
468
00:42:26,810 --> 00:42:28,910
uncivilized, but
it has become common.
469
00:42:29,010 --> 00:42:32,580
There are many tourists naked...
470
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,510
but hardly relevant
to nudism.
471
00:42:35,610 --> 00:42:39,580
The philosophy really
began to evaporate.
472
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:44,980
The healthy lifestyle aspect of
nudism became neglected ...
473
00:42:46,580 --> 00:42:48,980
People started to think
more about profit.
474
00:42:56,980 --> 00:43:00,280
Hello, now is 19:00 on
CHM Nude Radio FM,
475
00:43:00,380 --> 00:43:03,080
radio that does not conceal.
And it's time for the news ...
476
00:43:03,180 --> 00:43:05,480
in French, German and English.
477
00:43:05,780 --> 00:43:08,180
Hello. This is radio CHM,
478
00:43:08,380 --> 00:43:12,380
The first nude radio
station on FM 86,7MHz.
479
00:43:12,580 --> 00:43:17,780
This is radio CHM,
everybody get naked.
480
00:43:17,980 --> 00:43:21,880
Do not miss out on
the 86,7 MHz FM wave.
481
00:43:29,580 --> 00:43:33,280
Hello. Welcome, CHM is for
naked radio on the FM wave.
482
00:43:33,380 --> 00:43:37,270
Today - cloudy but peasant
weather. Not too hot.
483
00:43:37,570 --> 00:43:40,570
And this is the ideal
temperature to walk naked.
484
00:43:40,770 --> 00:43:43,570
Sky with white clouds,
but the gray clouds mixed.
485
00:43:43,770 --> 00:43:48,170
Possibility of rain, and
you will be naked in the rain.
486
00:43:48,370 --> 00:43:50,270
Hey! You're absolutely right.
487
00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:55,470
Keep clothing, and some
people in CHM were wrong.
488
00:43:55,570 --> 00:43:58,570
They do not benefit
from high humidity.
489
00:43:58,670 --> 00:44:02,370
Because nude before the storm,
and in the storm, is ecstasy.
490
00:44:02,570 --> 00:44:06,470
If you are in the mall, you can
leave your clothes on the radio.
491
00:44:06,570 --> 00:44:08,970
Rest assured, you'll get
back after the storm.
492
00:44:15,570 --> 00:44:18,470
Remember to watch
at 22:00 for ...
493
00:44:18,570 --> 00:44:21,370
"Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs",
If it does not rain.
494
00:44:21,470 --> 00:44:23,670
If you want to dance,
go to Hexagon.
495
00:44:23,770 --> 00:44:27,070
There's a big dance at 21:00
with music from the 60s to the 80s.
496
00:44:27,170 --> 00:44:30,770
Admission is 30 francs including
drinks and snacks. Be happy.
497
00:45:44,490 --> 00:45:49,160
I've been a believer in nakedness
for my entire life of 24 years.
498
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,060
And my life here, CHM
Montalivet in the region.
499
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:58,560
I always come on holidays.
I told him that I practiced nude.
500
00:45:58,660 --> 00:46:03,660
And I wanted him to come with me
on vacation. So I asked him to.
501
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:08,560
And he quickly agreed,
although he was not naked.
502
00:46:08,660 --> 00:46:12,760
But he grew up in a family
that was open to nudity,
503
00:46:12,860 --> 00:46:15,960
for example, they didn't
close their bathroom door,
504
00:46:16,060 --> 00:46:18,460
so it wasn't a big
problem for him.
505
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,960
Yes, it is ...
506
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,160
Whedn I first met advocates
of naturism, I saw ...
507
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,760
I just saw the nudity.
508
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,560
She took six months
to convince me.
509
00:46:30,660 --> 00:46:33,660
Finally I thought: "Try it,
you have nothing to lose."
510
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,360
It's like with that song
"They cannot change me."
511
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:43,760
So when we got out of the car,
I just took off everything.
512
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,360
I did not fuss.
513
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,860
It's just that the rules
of the game had changed.
514
00:46:49,660 --> 00:46:54,360
Around the mobile home
it was no problem.
515
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:59,760
But when we went to the beach
or take a shower, we ...
516
00:46:59,860 --> 00:47:02,460
shared the shower ...
517
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,560
no separate chambers,
518
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,960
to me it's a bit of fun.
519
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:12,860
At the coast, especially
when I apply sunscreen,
520
00:47:13,460 --> 00:47:16,160
in the bathroom ... It's
just a natural reaction.
521
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,760
Then you don't think about it
anymore. It's Adam and Eve.
522
00:47:18,860 --> 00:47:21,260
And it was wonderful.
523
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,460
When we look better naked, each
person has a different body, but ...
524
00:47:25,660 --> 00:47:28,450
as we are born is acceptable ...
525
00:47:28,550 --> 00:47:32,850
many people conceal their
bodies under clothing.
526
00:47:33,550 --> 00:47:36,850
Their naked bodies disturb others,
they reject being born naked.
527
00:47:37,150 --> 00:47:42,150
We are not perfect, and many
don't dare express themselves.
528
00:47:42,450 --> 00:47:46,450
I think there are people
not afraid of their own body,
529
00:47:46,550 --> 00:47:49,450
but afraid to look at
the bodies of others.
530
00:47:53,150 --> 00:47:55,350
One day, I was suddenly
wheelchair-bound,
531
00:47:55,550 --> 00:47:57,350
I thought I must
leave the lifestyle.
532
00:47:57,550 --> 00:48:03,850
I've long practiced nudism
on the river, in the mountains.
533
00:48:04,650 --> 00:48:08,950
So I thought, why
not try elsewhere.
534
00:48:09,550 --> 00:48:12,750
I lost faith in some centers,
535
00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:14,550
perhaps because they,
I do not know.
536
00:48:14,750 --> 00:48:18,050
But still, I have fewer
options in a wheelchair.
537
00:48:18,550 --> 00:48:21,350
And I'm not so happy
with this organization,
538
00:48:21,550 --> 00:48:26,550
because here, everything
is done collectively,
539
00:48:27,450 --> 00:48:29,450
all as one group
and not individuals.
540
00:48:30,550 --> 00:48:32,550
Observing others will be
less confusing then.
541
00:48:32,750 --> 00:48:35,550
No doubt, because when you're
alone, you don't deal with others.
542
00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:38,650
It's a simple fact that not
every body is beautiful.
543
00:48:38,850 --> 00:48:43,650
People can be discriminated
against, even when you're naked,
544
00:48:43,750 --> 00:48:47,650
such as with social status, but
here people are less interested
545
00:48:47,850 --> 00:48:50,950
in social status diffrences
than the dressed.
546
00:48:51,550 --> 00:48:54,650
Here you also see the difference.
547
00:48:55,250 --> 00:48:57,750
But it does not bother anyone.
548
00:48:58,450 --> 00:49:00,750
It does not matter
because there is no ...
549
00:49:01,550 --> 00:49:07,750
stylish clothes, no jewelry,
I do not know how to say it.
550
00:49:09,450 --> 00:49:13,550
It's much more natural
and it is wonderful.
551
00:49:15,490 --> 00:49:19,350
CENTER EVRONAT
Gironde region
552
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:24,740
Let us not forget,
The first nude there.
553
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,340
Because human beings
are born naked.
554
00:49:27,540 --> 00:49:32,940
Children hate their clothes,
they hate their socks.
555
00:49:33,140 --> 00:49:36,140
They like to run barefoot
556
00:49:36,340 --> 00:49:38,040
to feel bare feet
touch the ground.
557
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:41,040
That is very important to us.
558
00:49:41,240 --> 00:49:46,340
Because of exposing all
body parts we can imagine ...
559
00:49:46,540 --> 00:49:48,240
the images of our bodies ...
560
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,540
and we form what is known as:
"The unconscious image of the body."
561
00:49:52,940 --> 00:49:56,140
And children are born naked,
and would love to stay naked.
562
00:49:56,540 --> 00:49:59,140
Shame is formed as a
product of indoctrination.
563
00:49:59,540 --> 00:50:04,340
At 3 or 4 years old, kids
still like to romp naked,
564
00:50:04,540 --> 00:50:06,240
both boys and girls.
565
00:50:06,540 --> 00:50:10,740
Its parents who teach
them a sense of shame.
566
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,040
In view of anatomy,
parents focus on ...
567
00:50:15,540 --> 00:50:19,940
reproduction and
their excretory organs.
568
00:50:20,340 --> 00:50:26,040
We are taught that
we have dirty parts.
569
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:28,140
It's an ugly concept.
570
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,640
The first expression is:
"It's a bird."
571
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:34,840
"It's a Bird" is saying a lot.
It is the embodiment of evil.
572
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:40,240
Because of this, an
important reproductive organ ...
573
00:50:40,540 --> 00:50:44,140
Parts are considered
dirty and disgusting.
574
00:50:44,340 --> 00:50:47,540
And then called "private".
575
00:50:47,740 --> 00:50:50,340
And shamefulness in society,
576
00:50:50,540 --> 00:50:52,040
varies greatly.
577
00:50:52,140 --> 00:50:54,340
In different cultures,
578
00:50:54,540 --> 00:50:59,840
shame can be different
for each body part.
579
00:51:01,540 --> 00:51:05,340
For example, with the Hindus,
the most private part of a woman ...
580
00:51:05,540 --> 00:51:11,140
is her ankle. For Hindus,
nothing is sexier than an ankle.
581
00:51:11,340 --> 00:51:14,640
In other countries,
it's the mouth.
582
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:19,430
And there are areas in the
Amazon, where a woman easily ...
583
00:51:19,530 --> 00:51:24,730
not dressed and ready to show
her sex will cover her mouth.
584
00:51:25,230 --> 00:51:27,730
We also see the mouth covered
585
00:51:27,930 --> 00:51:31,530
in a most repressive society
Civilization on field dressing, ...
586
00:51:31,630 --> 00:51:33,030
Muslim societies.
587
00:51:33,230 --> 00:51:36,630
But to say that this
does not trust very much.
588
00:51:36,830 --> 00:51:39,630
There is not a single word
on this topic in the Koran.
589
00:51:39,830 --> 00:51:44,330
It's not really Islam,
590
00:51:44,530 --> 00:51:48,530
as Herodotus wrote about it
centuries before Islam was born ...
591
00:51:48,730 --> 00:51:51,530
he said that women should
cover their mouth ...
592
00:51:51,730 --> 00:51:53,730
and covered his
face with a cloth.
593
00:51:54,330 --> 00:51:56,130
Here is a shame ...
594
00:51:56,230 --> 00:52:00,730
must not only cover the skin
but also to conceal the body shape.
595
00:52:01,030 --> 00:52:02,930
The shape must stay hidden.
596
00:52:03,130 --> 00:52:06,330
How a woman looks,
when you go out,
597
00:52:06,490 --> 00:52:10,230
wearing a large overcoat,
she's completely hidden,
598
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,930
plus a veil.
599
00:52:13,230 --> 00:52:16,230
People do not see the people,
which shows a fabric event.
600
00:52:16,630 --> 00:52:19,230
These women are
really hidden.
601
00:52:19,530 --> 00:52:23,530
But this is a perfect
example of psychology
602
00:52:23,730 --> 00:52:25,430
and social organizations.
603
00:52:25,630 --> 00:52:29,530
Because if there is no social
or ... religious influence
604
00:52:29,730 --> 00:52:32,930
its trivial to go nude,
605
00:52:33,130 --> 00:52:36,830
as in Denmark or
Scandinavia or in Japan.
606
00:52:37,130 --> 00:52:41,630
It can be socially acceptable
for everyone to be nude.
607
00:52:41,830 --> 00:52:46,930
As if without clothes,
we do not need to wear them.
608
00:54:40,730 --> 00:54:45,520
Center Jenny
Gironde region
609
00:54:55,470 --> 00:54:57,420
We discovered nudism ...
610
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,320
14 years ago, when we were on
holiday in the south of France.
611
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:05,320
We found a beach there...
612
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,420
And we saw no one
wearing clothes.
613
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,610
So we decided quite naturally
to stay there and participate.
614
00:55:10,810 --> 00:55:13,410
In England, there are
hundreds of nude beaches.
615
00:55:13,510 --> 00:55:16,310
And usually you have to
walk very far to get there.
616
00:55:16,510 --> 00:55:20,310
And you have to go through so
many dressed people who ...
617
00:55:20,510 --> 00:55:23,710
look at you like you have
two heads or something.
618
00:55:23,810 --> 00:55:27,490
And I do not like this
attitude, as in the UK
619
00:55:27,530 --> 00:55:33,890
or perhaps in the United States.
It's not as open as in France.
620
00:55:37,090 --> 00:55:43,690
There are beaches in the
UK that attract those dirty,
621
00:55:43,790 --> 00:55:51,990
like only gay men. In France,
free beaches aren't overcrowded.
622
00:55:52,690 --> 00:55:58,490
It can be a cautious attitude
to monitor newcomers.
623
00:55:58,590 --> 00:56:01,490
But as new generations find
themselves a healthy lifestyle,
624
00:56:01,690 --> 00:56:04,490
New naked people do not ask:
625
00:56:04,590 --> 00:56:08,390
"Should I undress?" they ask
"Why do I have to wear anything?"
626
00:56:08,590 --> 00:56:12,490
These young people are not
ashamed swimming naked in the pool.
627
00:56:12,590 --> 00:56:14,590
For them, it is completely natural.
628
00:56:14,690 --> 00:56:18,390
And when these people grow up,
they'll maintain this attitude.
629
00:56:18,490 --> 00:56:21,590
Older believers can have
a stronger philosophy,
630
00:56:21,790 --> 00:56:24,590
they want to walk naked
to express a complex idea,
631
00:56:24,690 --> 00:56:27,190
I think it is an idea
beginng to fade ...
632
00:56:27,290 --> 00:56:31,790
More people now just
enjoy body and sun.
633
00:58:24,580 --> 00:58:26,980
I think the origin of what
were called "nudist camps" ...
634
00:58:27,180 --> 00:58:29,059
was because people had to
find isolation to get naked ...
635
00:58:29,060 --> 00:58:31,079
Francoise and Patrick Gainey
center "Jenny"
636
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,480
In isolation were campsites.
... They set up tents for camping ...
637
00:58:33,580 --> 00:58:37,180
But the word "camp"
bothers us a bit.
638
00:58:37,510 --> 00:58:42,080
This is a resort town, a place
giving us a sense of freedom.
639
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:43,680
I think that's what
people are looking for.
640
00:58:43,780 --> 00:58:47,580
Initially, it is
a certain philosophy,
641
00:58:47,780 --> 00:58:49,780
a certain level of ethics.
642
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:55,480
Perhaps because they organized
to justify their beliefs.
643
00:58:55,580 --> 00:59:00,180
Now it's really more about the
need to shed social masks ...
644
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:06,370
people are trapped in clothing
with a necktie or in costumes.
645
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,470
Many women are crazy with
jobs and career, ...
646
00:59:10,570 --> 00:59:14,870
it's tiring to stay
attractive for years.
647
00:59:15,570 --> 00:59:19,970
I can understand how women
can feel stuck ...
648
00:59:20,570 --> 00:59:24,570
enslaved by fashion and caught
in a mold. They may have ...
649
00:59:24,670 --> 00:59:26,970
beautifully tailored costumes
and complex social rules,
650
00:59:27,070 --> 00:59:29,870
but at the same time they
desire the ideal of beauty.
651
00:59:30,070 --> 00:59:32,870
But on the other hand, sometimes
they want to throw all that out
652
00:59:32,970 --> 00:59:35,470
and not worry about appearance.
653
00:59:35,570 --> 00:59:38,070
For men, this is all easier.
654
00:59:39,270 --> 00:59:43,370
Men are not too concerned
with age and appearance.
655
00:59:43,470 --> 00:59:47,470
For them, it's more about
personality, power, or money.
656
00:59:47,570 --> 00:59:49,670
For women, age means
more than wealth.
657
00:59:49,770 --> 00:59:53,670
Even at 40 or 50, they can
be a success in life,
658
00:59:53,770 --> 00:59:57,670
but at the same time still
have a beautiful body.
659
00:59:58,470 --> 01:00:01,370
And I think women find
it easier to relax,
660
01:00:01,570 --> 01:00:05,070
To remove their bindings
and expose their naked heart.
661
01:00:05,470 --> 01:00:08,570
Men do not understand these issues,
for them, they are not related.
662
01:00:10,370 --> 01:00:12,370
I'm not sure that the image
of women will really change.
663
01:00:12,470 --> 01:00:18,070
But the truth is that when they
visit the beach or the pool naked,
664
01:00:18,270 --> 01:00:24,270
without having to worry
about waistlines and fat,
665
01:00:24,470 --> 01:00:28,970
and they do not have to
diet into a "beach body,"
666
01:00:29,070 --> 01:00:32,470
as women at a vacation resort
usually, commonly, normally ...
667
01:00:32,570 --> 01:00:36,480
expect to show off their
body in a bathing suit.
668
01:00:36,870 --> 01:00:43,570
At first glance, men
more easily get nude.
669
01:00:45,270 --> 01:00:48,570
Men usually experience group
nakedness before others ...
670
01:00:48,670 --> 01:00:53,570
like athletes or soldiers.
And here you can see ...
671
01:00:53,670 --> 01:00:56,770
a little man ...
- Timid, perhaps.
672
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:05,260
We have two children and we
know this from childhood.
673
01:01:05,460 --> 01:01:07,960
And it make everything
seems easier.
674
01:01:08,260 --> 01:01:11,360
We are impressed because that's
how kids usually communicate.
675
01:01:11,460 --> 01:01:14,460
Perhaps because of nudity,
after removing their clothing,
676
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,260
others see them as they are.
677
01:01:17,460 --> 01:01:21,460
The definition of nudism, in
fact is seeking harmony ...
678
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,160
through collective nudity.
679
01:01:24,260 --> 01:01:28,260
That's the official definition
680
01:01:28,460 --> 01:01:33,860
according to the Federation
and I think that's precise.
681
01:01:36,860 --> 01:01:40,290
Naturist photos of naked people
are often pictures of happiness.
682
01:01:40,390 --> 01:01:45,060
Images of people living in
harmony with nature and family,
683
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,880
and to a person, it is a bold
breakthrough in lifestyle...
684
01:01:50,030 --> 01:01:53,360
in constant pursuit of goals.
685
01:01:53,460 --> 01:01:56,260
Because if you think
something is good,
686
01:01:56,460 --> 01:01:59,360
You want the people you
love to share in it...
687
01:01:59,460 --> 01:02:06,030
and you say: "Let's see what is it.
No doubt, you will love it."
688
01:02:59,550 --> 01:03:06,250
We're not nude everywhere,
only where there's open space,
689
01:03:06,450 --> 01:03:09,550
such as large forests,
or less pristine beaches ...
690
01:03:09,650 --> 01:03:15,550
You cannot practice nudity
always and do everything naked ...
691
01:03:15,650 --> 01:03:19,050
between the concrete walls,
Between the car park in the city.
692
01:03:19,250 --> 01:03:21,850
Actually, that's not the nudism.
693
01:03:22,470 --> 01:03:30,250
One might think in the
concrete center that ...
694
01:03:30,500 --> 01:03:36,050
nudity is considered deviant
695
01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:39,450
or "metamorphosis"
loss of value of the nude.
696
01:03:48,650 --> 01:03:51,150
The essence of nudism is
that it means "natural".
697
01:03:51,650 --> 01:03:54,350
It is looking for
harmony with nature.
698
01:03:54,490 --> 01:03:57,350
Not harmony with concrete.
699
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,000
Resort nude CAP DOUG
700
01:04:46,250 --> 01:04:50,340
Nudism in Cap d'Agde resort ...
701
01:04:50,540 --> 01:04:53,940
is a truly unique phenomenon ...
702
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,540
nudism in France
703
01:04:56,740 --> 01:04:59,540
is now more popular than
elsewhere in Europe.
704
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,540
The attitude is different.
705
01:05:04,740 --> 01:05:09,740
Unlike most nude resorts,
This place is official,
706
01:05:09,940 --> 01:05:13,640
management of regional planning
Languedoc- Rousillon in the 50s.
707
01:05:15,540 --> 01:05:18,940
Officials created ...
708
01:05:19,340 --> 01:05:24,140
areas reserved for naked people.
709
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,899
Then the new owner appears.
710
01:05:28,900 --> 01:05:30,339
Gerard Pal, Cap d'Agde Resort
Naturist Chairman - Herault
711
01:05:30,340 --> 01:05:35,140
First none, then more and more,
and now 2,500 apartments,
712
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:39,640
about 150 shops or businesses.
This is a real city.
713
01:05:40,270 --> 01:05:44,240
We have succeeded in this
area and continues to expand
714
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:50,040
to make this area larger without
adding a different architecture.
715
01:05:50,540 --> 01:05:55,440
There will be no concrete
structures, the big demand
716
01:05:55,540 --> 01:05:59,040
is to get back to nature.
717
01:06:00,460 --> 01:06:02,540
The laws are the same
everywhere in France,
718
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,940
currently nudism
is simply accepted.
719
01:06:06,140 --> 01:06:12,640
but nudism finds it
difficult to manifest,
720
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:18,240
if we follow normal rules.
721
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,540
So, in the stadium,
park, swimming pool,
722
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,840
in all public places,
applying the same rules.
723
01:07:22,230 --> 01:07:25,530
We quickly reach a
large number of visitors.
724
01:07:25,630 --> 01:07:29,530
35,000 regular visitors and
temporary leasing in peak season,
725
01:07:29,630 --> 01:07:33,530
and there are still several
thousand residents, tenants,
726
01:07:33,630 --> 01:07:36,330
The hotel's clients nude,
visitors...
727
01:07:36,430 --> 01:07:39,030
and more and more each season.
728
01:07:39,470 --> 01:07:41,630
Its increasingly
difficult to control.
729
01:07:41,830 --> 01:07:46,530
Nudism has changed a lot since
730
01:07:46,630 --> 01:07:51,430
when building this
large residence ...
731
01:07:51,630 --> 01:07:55,830
and as a result it's changed
the behavior of people.
732
01:07:56,430 --> 01:07:59,630
Thus I came to Agde City Hall
and suggested ...
733
01:07:59,830 --> 01:08:07,030
they can provide police
services for this area.
734
01:08:07,330 --> 01:08:11,430
And in recent years,
thanks to the police station,
735
01:08:11,630 --> 01:08:19,730
we have a safe atmosphere,
generally clean and pleasant.
736
01:08:25,830 --> 01:08:29,930
I started in Côte d'Azur
near Saint-Tropez.
737
01:08:30,470 --> 01:08:34,730
I'm a policeman
and to arrest him naked.
738
01:08:34,830 --> 01:08:39,630
So we go to the beach and approach
as unobtrusively as possible.
739
01:08:40,030 --> 01:08:43,020
We tried to encircle them.
740
01:08:43,220 --> 01:08:45,220
Usually things are always polite.
741
01:08:45,420 --> 01:08:50,220
We take them to the police station
and make a report, they're punished.
742
01:08:50,420 --> 01:08:53,820
At the time it was 500 francs fine.
743
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:57,120
And they are convicted
of public indecency.
744
01:08:57,420 --> 01:08:59,420
I try to maintain a certain
little bit of charm,
745
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,320
as many people come to the beach ...
746
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,520
I want to try and I've tried.
747
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:09,320
I have taken many holidays
to Pampelonne beach,
748
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:14,920
in Saint-Tropez. And then
I went to Ile du Levant.
749
01:09:15,440 --> 01:09:19,220
And from there to the Club
du Soleil. And now I'm here.
750
01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:22,920
I'm an experienced police
officer, so take precautions.
751
01:09:23,420 --> 01:09:26,370
First, I ask colleagues if
there are any dangers.
752
01:09:26,470 --> 01:09:29,270
If its dangerous, I
avoid the nude beach.
753
01:09:30,270 --> 01:09:34,570
And though prohibited,
it is very beautiful.
754
01:09:34,770 --> 01:09:37,070
No one knows anything about it,
including my colleagues.
755
01:09:37,270 --> 01:09:40,070
It is purely my own secret.
756
01:09:40,870 --> 01:09:44,770
When at a beach with
colleagues, I behaved coldly.
757
01:09:45,270 --> 01:09:48,970
"What do you think? Wear
something?" Things that ...
758
01:09:49,270 --> 01:09:52,370
I did like other colleagues.
Now I find it funny.
759
01:09:52,670 --> 01:09:55,470
Now thinking back,
I find it funny.
760
01:10:14,900 --> 01:10:19,020
beach camping Oltra center

761
01:12:02,260 --> 01:12:04,460
END ZONE NUDIST COLONY
762
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,760
I am the owner of a
clothing optional campsite.
763
01:12:08,860 --> 01:12:11,860
Two locations near each other.
But never had any problems ...
764
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,460
even with people dressed
because they are in their area ...
765
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:19,860
and ther are clear notices up
that they stay beside the nude.
766
01:12:20,260 --> 01:12:22,960
Those who come here,
are fully informed.
767
01:12:23,260 --> 01:12:25,059
They have more choices,
768
01:12:25,060 --> 01:12:26,559
Serignan beach camp
Herault region
769
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:28,060
they are with the whole family ...
770
01:12:28,260 --> 01:12:30,460
and can choose the nude beach
or the dressing area.
771
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,550
Parents may want to swim naked ...
772
01:12:34,650 --> 01:12:38,950
but leave their children to play
with friends in the clothed camp.
773
01:12:39,310 --> 01:12:43,350
Unlimited travel to
other destinations.
774
01:12:48,450 --> 01:12:53,850
Conversely the beach does not
bother me without provocation.
775
01:12:54,350 --> 01:12:56,250
It does not bother me.
It's their way of life.
776
01:12:56,450 --> 01:13:00,850
What bothers me is that they want
everybody nude. Is it really needed?
777
01:13:02,450 --> 01:13:06,450
Not all the tourists
come here to relax
778
01:13:06,550 --> 01:13:10,250
If you're with 10,000 naked
people, I do not think ...
779
01:13:10,450 --> 01:13:12,850
you will be comfortable.
I don't know ...
780
01:13:18,490 --> 01:13:22,750
"Pharmacies Aphrodite" resort
village, PORT LEYUKAT - Aude
781
01:13:34,450 --> 01:13:39,050
Of course there are jobs
where you can't be nude.
782
01:13:39,450 --> 01:13:41,750
For example, butcher ...
783
01:13:42,550 --> 01:13:45,550
And selling meat in stores
cannot be naked.
784
01:13:45,650 --> 01:13:50,650
Mornings, I'm handling
newspapers and magazines.
785
01:13:50,850 --> 01:13:56,150
So, to avoid ink, I get dressed.
786
01:13:56,550 --> 01:14:00,550
But in the afternoon, when the
newspapers are all stocked,
787
01:14:00,750 --> 01:14:02,250
I'm naked.
788
01:14:02,450 --> 01:14:06,850
I feel good, comfortable.
No one is forced to be naked.
789
01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:17,450
With nudism there
are many options.
790
01:14:17,650 --> 01:14:23,550
Its center, of course, nudism.
Nudism can be done individually.
791
01:14:23,950 --> 01:14:26,150
For example, you
can sleep naked.
792
01:14:26,350 --> 01:14:32,140
At least 40% of young French
go to bed completely naked.
793
01:14:33,340 --> 01:14:39,140
If you like, you can be nude
walking around at home.
794
01:14:39,440 --> 01:14:42,640
And then the nude family.
795
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:49,540
You can experiment with nudity
for free in your own home ...
796
01:14:49,740 --> 01:14:55,240
and practiced nudity
inside or outside the home.
797
01:14:55,440 --> 01:14:59,340
Some people practice outdoor
wildereness nudism,
798
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:01,240
that's very popular.
799
01:15:01,540 --> 01:15:05,340
For example, the Germans
always spend more time naked,
800
01:15:05,440 --> 01:15:11,540
Compared with other countries,
the nudity conflicts are less.
801
01:15:12,540 --> 01:15:16,140
There is a certain relationship
between Germany, body and neo-nude.
802
01:15:16,340 --> 01:15:18,340
Moreover, they do
not like our attitude.
803
01:15:18,440 --> 01:15:22,440
The Germans have a special culture
called "Frei Kultur Korper".
804
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:26,240
In other words, that
is "free body culture".
805
01:15:33,940 --> 01:15:38,030
Centre Munich
806
01:15:38,770 --> 01:15:41,760
by the river Isar
807
01:15:44,440 --> 01:15:49,140
I always sunbathe naked
because I think it's interesting.
808
01:15:49,340 --> 01:15:55,640
No special reason, not to be
revolutionary. I just like it.
809
01:15:56,440 --> 01:16:00,340
For me, being completely naked
has nothing to do with sex
810
01:16:00,440 --> 01:16:02,240
in the negative sense.
811
01:16:02,440 --> 01:16:05,140
In fact, I recognize
sexuality in a positive way.
812
01:16:05,340 --> 01:16:08,140
There is nothing wrong
with sex or neo-nudity.
813
01:16:08,440 --> 01:16:14,540
Gradually, all will be normal.
A nude bather, others not.
814
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,540
And nobody bothers anybody.
815
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,340
The truth is that tolerance
in Germany is very high.
816
01:16:20,540 --> 01:16:22,740
Of course, there are also people
who want to be indecent.
817
01:16:40,130 --> 01:16:45,930
I like to rest here. It's
beautiful. I like the water.
818
01:16:46,730 --> 01:16:51,030
I used to lie here,
bathed in sunlight,
819
01:16:51,430 --> 01:16:54,730
to splash and listen,
watch the trees and sky ...
820
01:16:54,930 --> 01:16:58,930
It is ideal if there's
not too many people.
821
01:16:59,130 --> 01:17:04,430
However, nowhere
allows sunbathing nude,
822
01:17:04,630 --> 01:17:07,630
but when I am here,
in Munich, why not?
823
01:17:07,730 --> 01:17:12,230
Here, it is considered
normal, so no matter what.
824
01:17:12,430 --> 01:17:14,630
But elsewhere, it's not
accepted, I would not dare.
825
01:17:25,430 --> 01:17:29,430
Sometimes, inevitably
others look at you, but ...
826
01:17:29,730 --> 01:17:32,730
I think this is not porn.
It's a natural reaction.
827
01:17:33,430 --> 01:17:37,930
I like to swim
and sunbathe naked.
828
01:17:39,430 --> 01:17:43,430
But if people here
are merciless ...
829
01:17:43,530 --> 01:17:46,130
I will think twice prior
to nude sunbathing here.
830
01:17:46,330 --> 01:17:48,430
You should not provoke someone.
831
01:18:10,630 --> 01:18:13,430
I do not flaunt or anything.
832
01:18:15,330 --> 01:18:18,430
I like nude bathing.
I often do that.
833
01:18:19,330 --> 01:18:23,420
Nothing is indecent. It's just
so much more enjoyable.
834
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:29,920
You get fully tanned,
no white stripes anywhere.
835
01:18:30,620 --> 01:18:36,720
My girlfriend has tanned
legs and abdomen,
836
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:41,420
but here she's white.
I do not like it.
837
01:18:41,620 --> 01:18:44,620
For me, it depends on my mood,
I sunbathe nude or not.
838
01:18:44,820 --> 01:18:47,620
Sometimes I like to take
everything off and sometimes not.
839
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:52,220
I never plan everything.
I do when I want to.
840
01:18:52,420 --> 01:18:56,220
I myself can go
sunbathing, but ...
841
01:18:56,420 --> 01:19:00,420
not with an organization. I just
go it alone or with friends ...
842
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:48,220
Without guilt, nothing
makes you swim naked ...
843
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,420
but if ashamed you would naturally
like to wear bathing suits.
844
01:19:51,620 --> 01:19:53,420
But do not depend on the modesty.
845
01:19:53,620 --> 01:19:58,420
What can be done here
should be done elsewhere.
846
01:19:58,620 --> 01:20:03,820
All the people we see ...
847
01:20:04,220 --> 01:20:08,820
everyone has the right to nudity.
All of us were born nude.
848
01:20:24,410 --> 01:20:27,250
ENGLISH GARDEN
Centre Munich
849
01:20:37,410 --> 01:20:40,010
We take a bike ride and ...
850
01:20:40,210 --> 01:20:42,710
then jump into the water,
and get refreshed.
851
01:20:43,410 --> 01:20:48,110
It gives you a feeling of
freedom. You really feel unbound.
852
01:20:48,610 --> 01:20:51,310
There's no Biblical commandment:
"Thou shalt not skinny dip."
853
01:20:54,610 --> 01:20:58,110
I decided to relax nude
in this park. It is very hot.
854
01:20:58,310 --> 01:21:00,810
I think this is the ideal
place to take a dip.
855
01:21:01,210 --> 01:21:05,510
This is something I cannot do
at home, parks or public places.
856
01:21:06,310 --> 01:21:10,410
I think many people can feel
comfortable with their bodies ...
857
01:21:10,710 --> 01:21:15,410
And that's a healthy attitude.
858
01:21:15,510 --> 01:21:22,810
I find it very relaxing.
Especially in hot weather.
859
01:21:27,510 --> 01:21:30,010
I'm from France and I
live here in Munich.
860
01:21:30,610 --> 01:21:32,810
I am from a Sicilian family.
861
01:21:33,010 --> 01:21:38,110
I think it's nice to relax naked.
You can't do it in my country and ...
862
01:21:38,310 --> 01:21:41,110
in many other countries.
863
01:21:41,310 --> 01:21:44,410
For the first time in my life,
I found a place I could be nude.
864
01:21:44,510 --> 01:21:48,410
I'm glad I can sit, swim naked
and not worry about being seen.
865
01:21:48,510 --> 01:21:52,010
I think we're much more free nude.
866
01:21:52,410 --> 01:21:54,510
You find more freedom.
867
01:21:54,610 --> 01:22:00,410
I don't say everyone should be naked
in the streets. There are limits.
868
01:22:01,610 --> 01:22:03,410
Frankly,
I was a bit selfish.
869
01:22:03,510 --> 01:22:05,410
If you prefer to walk naked,
I would walk around naked.
870
01:22:05,510 --> 01:22:11,610
But not because of faith ...
out of respect for Nature.
871
01:22:11,810 --> 01:22:13,800
I just like being naked.
872
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,200
I do not wear a bathing suit,
it's not bothering anyone ...
873
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,200
I do not bother anyone
and I don't provoke anyone.
874
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:28,900
It's very busy, but nobody
pays attention to what they see.
875
01:22:29,100 --> 01:22:33,200
If they see a naked man sitting
here, they just said, "Someone".
876
01:22:33,370 --> 01:22:39,100
But when they see you getting
along, they lose control.
877
01:22:39,300 --> 01:22:43,300
As a kid I was always naked,
and I feel very normal.
878
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:47,700
But I think that not
everyone thinks as I do.
879
01:22:47,900 --> 01:22:51,100
I wondered: "What do other
people think of me?"
880
01:22:51,300 --> 01:22:53,700
But growing up,
I don't really care.
881
01:22:54,300 --> 01:22:56,600
Humans are still the same
whether you're dressed or not.
882
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,300
I hope that over time
people will understand,
883
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,000
and be tolerant of nudism.
884
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:07,000
Only on the beach or at
nude camp. I felt normal ...
885
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:12,300
while naked in the park
but going someplace shopping,
886
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,400
I thought it unusual.
887
01:23:34,300 --> 01:23:39,000
In Germany, nudism
always gets noticed.
888
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:43,400
The first nude
movement in Germany
889
01:23:43,500 --> 01:23:48,800
had the name "Vandervogel"
in reference to migratory birds.
890
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:53,800
They organized trips traveling
across Germany to get nude ...
891
01:23:53,900 --> 01:23:58,300
and even to Poland on the Rhine.
892
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:03,400
They were naked whenever they
wanted and while swimming.
893
01:24:04,300 --> 01:24:09,690
From 1905, they organized centers
throughout Germany and Switzerland.
894
01:24:10,490 --> 01:24:14,890
The movement in Germany collapsed
when Hitler took power,
895
01:24:14,990 --> 01:24:20,690
The centers were closed and members
sent to concentration camps.
896
01:24:20,890 --> 01:24:23,590
And many of them were castrated.
897
01:24:24,290 --> 01:24:26,990
I had the opportunity
to meet Hans ...
898
01:24:27,290 --> 01:24:30,890
a victim of castration who
escaped the German camps.
899
01:24:33,190 --> 01:24:36,290
Germany more important
The Catholic Church.
900
01:24:36,390 --> 01:24:38,390
They are really important.
901
01:24:38,490 --> 01:24:44,990
Caesar said, Germans
fought completely naked ...
902
01:24:45,190 --> 01:24:49,990
and there were women in high
office who also fought naked.
903
01:24:51,490 --> 01:24:56,390
Nudity was always
associated with democracy.
904
01:24:56,490 --> 01:25:00,190
Whenever a tyrant ruled,
they strangled the right ...
905
01:25:00,390 --> 01:25:02,690
of people to be naked.
906
01:25:02,990 --> 01:25:09,490
And the free nations were
more comfortable with nudity.
907
01:25:09,690 --> 01:25:12,190
We can see this
in ancient Greece.
908
01:25:12,390 --> 01:25:17,190
People wore clothing
only when it was cold.
909
01:25:17,390 --> 01:25:22,390
They dressed in a simple robe.
If not cold, they took it off ...
910
01:25:22,590 --> 01:25:25,390
and they did things
completely naked.
911
01:25:25,690 --> 01:25:29,390
Physical activity,
including exercise,
912
01:25:29,590 --> 01:25:32,790
derived from the Greek
"gymnos" which means naked.
913
01:25:33,290 --> 01:25:37,990
Because these activities
were performed completely naked.
914
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,750
Anvers, The international
nude swimming competition
915
01:25:58,090 --> 01:26:01,290
I'm Bart Wijnberg, Dutch.
916
01:26:01,390 --> 01:26:04,180
I am the President of the
International Nudist Federation,
917
01:26:04,380 --> 01:26:09,780
chapters in 30 countries,
1/4 million members ...
918
01:26:09,980 --> 01:26:12,880
20 million people practice nude.
919
01:26:13,580 --> 01:26:17,280
The International Federation
organizes swimming competitions.
920
01:26:17,480 --> 01:26:23,780
A unique feature of this contest is
no specified age for participants.
921
01:26:23,980 --> 01:26:27,580
We often have contests for
persons 50 to 55 years old.
922
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,380
And I think, one of the
achievements ... Our largest,
923
01:26:29,480 --> 01:26:31,980
as people find them important.
924
01:26:32,380 --> 01:26:36,780
With me, the beauty of the
body from 40 to 60 years old.
925
01:26:37,180 --> 01:26:40,580
They do not like what people
often think about this age.
926
01:26:40,780 --> 01:26:42,780
This fundamentally
changes those thoughts.
927
01:26:43,380 --> 01:26:46,780
Nudism is growing worldwide
with different speeds.
928
01:26:46,980 --> 01:26:50,480
In the Netherlands, where I'm
from, 15 million people ...
929
01:26:50,580 --> 01:26:52,480
and 50,000 naked people.
930
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:56,380
In the US there are over
200 million people ...
931
01:26:56,480 --> 01:26:59,580
but less nude proportionally.
Do you see the difference?
932
01:26:59,980 --> 01:27:04,380
Partly because of traditional
American Puritanism,
933
01:27:04,580 --> 01:27:08,580
Episcopalianism also was
important in the 80s.
934
01:27:08,780 --> 01:27:13,280
Orthodox believers told
not to expose the body.
935
01:27:13,380 --> 01:27:17,380
For example, the "monokini"
What does it mean in America?
936
01:27:19,380 --> 01:27:22,380
The future of nudism
is quite bright.
937
01:27:22,480 --> 01:27:25,380
We can see this in the countries
of Central and Eastern Europe,
938
01:27:25,580 --> 01:27:27,080
where there are many
naked organizations.
939
01:27:27,310 --> 01:27:31,330
But in Asia and Africa,
actually I see no nudism.
940
01:27:31,380 --> 01:27:34,380
Areas which are former colonies
of European countries.
941
01:27:34,480 --> 01:27:38,480
European missionaries
made them get dressed.
942
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:42,280
We can't go back and say:
"Okay, now get undressed."
943
01:27:42,380 --> 01:27:44,080
We'd explain that how?
944
01:27:45,380 --> 01:27:49,380
People often ask me: "Does neo
nudity promote social equality?"
945
01:27:49,580 --> 01:27:50,780
Well, yes and no.
946
01:27:50,980 --> 01:27:56,880
Everybody is alike unclothed,
but only to a certain point.
947
01:27:57,380 --> 01:28:00,370
Because people do not just
discriminate by costume.
948
01:28:00,470 --> 01:28:04,370
They also differ in
speaking or eating.
949
01:28:04,570 --> 01:28:09,370
When you eat together, you
see people eat differently.
950
01:28:09,470 --> 01:28:13,470
But that does not say
anything for quality people.
951
01:28:18,370 --> 01:28:20,070
When people say to me:
952
01:28:20,270 --> 01:28:23,170
"Nudism is a form of fanfare
from the subconscious. "
953
01:28:23,370 --> 01:28:25,170
I really do not know
what to say to that.
954
01:28:25,370 --> 01:28:31,770
You have to practice nudism
to experience the positive effects.
955
01:28:32,370 --> 01:28:36,770
Nudists are not ashamed
about being naked.
956
01:28:36,870 --> 01:28:38,470
And that is important.
957
01:28:41,270 --> 01:28:44,570
I'm not sure, with nudism
the sexual seems more innocent.
958
01:28:44,670 --> 01:28:47,970
Perhaps because its
not so mysterious.
959
01:28:49,470 --> 01:28:54,470
They often ask me if nudism is
for singles and gay men.
960
01:28:54,670 --> 01:28:56,770
I always answer:
961
01:28:56,970 --> 01:29:00,270
"I'm only interested in the
people, not interested in sex."
962
01:29:09,350 --> 01:29:12,270
I do not know if nudism really
reduces social prejudices.
963
01:29:12,370 --> 01:29:17,370
I think nudists are less
prejudiced than non nudists.
964
01:29:17,970 --> 01:29:21,370
Naked people say prejudice
decreases with nakedness.
965
01:29:21,570 --> 01:29:23,970
But it works both ways.
966
01:29:42,270 --> 01:29:46,170
Nudism is a movement
in our society,
967
01:29:46,370 --> 01:29:48,370
that results from
other movements,
968
01:29:48,470 --> 01:29:50,270
as feminists,
969
01:29:50,370 --> 01:29:54,520
women's liberation
in all social sectors,
970
01:29:54,670 --> 01:30:01,160
such as ecology, conservation,
even movements like "New Age"
971
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:05,160
the movement of the "new era"
open to a new spirit.
972
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,160
Therefore, nudism is part of
the progressive forces combined ...
973
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:11,760
and gives us hope.
974
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:30,020
CENTER "SABLIERE"
Gulch SEZ - Gard region
975
01:31:53,750 --> 01:31:58,069
I started about 18 years ago,
with my husband, since 1975.
976
01:31:58,070 --> 01:31:59,349
Gabi Cespedes
Center SABLIERE
977
01:31:59,350 --> 01:32:03,450
We were convinced as
people interested in nature
978
01:32:03,650 --> 01:32:09,750
and we wanted to share
with our friends ...
979
01:32:10,150 --> 01:32:11,750
by going to nude zones.
980
01:32:13,250 --> 01:32:17,180
Now I understand, nudism
creates a harmony within you,
981
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:20,380
as well as a harmony with
others, a mutual respect.
982
01:32:20,580 --> 01:32:22,180
A reciprocity.
983
01:32:22,380 --> 01:32:25,780
For us, the nude spirit is
particularly important ...
984
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,980
for environmental protection
and immersion in nature.
985
01:32:29,180 --> 01:32:32,380
I come from a poor family. We
had no showers or amenities.
986
01:32:32,480 --> 01:32:34,080
My mother in front of
our bathroom once said:
987
01:32:34,180 --> 01:32:35,980
"When born, the child is naked.
988
01:32:36,180 --> 01:32:40,180
Mom saw you naked and you saw
mother naked, a way of life."
989
01:32:40,380 --> 01:32:45,280
That's how we live. And later,
when married, it was beautiful.
990
01:32:45,430 --> 01:32:47,280
And when alone, we swam nude.
991
01:32:47,380 --> 01:32:50,280
So we set up the naked life.
992
01:32:51,380 --> 01:32:54,180
Naked people are
really very modest.
993
01:32:54,380 --> 01:32:59,180
They do not like showing
their sex schools.
994
01:32:59,330 --> 01:33:06,180
But they do not have
problems with sex.
995
01:33:06,380 --> 01:33:09,180
They do not get
bored with sex.
996
01:33:11,380 --> 01:33:15,880
I see the future of nudism
in openness to the outside world.
997
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:17,880
We need to create
a positive image.
998
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:20,880
And today too often
its a negative image.
999
01:34:16,770 --> 01:34:18,770
What's the name?
- Michael.
1000
01:34:19,070 --> 01:34:22,270
And how old?
- Twelve.
1001
01:34:22,370 --> 01:34:25,170
When undressing here,
What was your first reaction?
1002
01:34:25,370 --> 01:34:27,970
I did not tell anyone, because
I do like my parents did.
1003
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:31,270
I saw my parents
and many others naked.
1004
01:34:31,370 --> 01:34:34,570
When we came here, and left
the house to go shopping.
1005
01:34:34,770 --> 01:34:39,770
I saw that everybody was
naked, so I just did it.
1006
01:34:40,470 --> 01:34:42,370
What about at school
with friends?
1007
01:34:42,570 --> 01:34:46,370
They know that if they laugh
at me, I'll get my revenge ...
1008
01:34:46,470 --> 01:34:48,170
and we'll settle it later.
1009
01:34:49,470 --> 01:34:52,070
I never told. I prefer
they not know,
1010
01:34:52,170 --> 01:34:55,570
otherwise they'll tell the
teachers. I don't want that.
1011
01:34:55,770 --> 01:34:59,170
There'd be meetings with
parents, visits and interviews.
1012
01:34:59,370 --> 01:35:01,170
And then the whole school knows.
1013
01:35:01,270 --> 01:35:03,370
I'm afraid all of them will
be waiting for me on my way.
1014
01:35:03,470 --> 01:35:06,770
And there are 365 students in
the school. A lot, right?
1015
01:35:07,370 --> 01:35:11,670
How was your first time
undressing at nude camp?
1016
01:35:11,770 --> 01:35:16,270
At first, I did not like it,
but now it's easy.
1017
01:35:16,870 --> 01:35:20,870
My first impulse was to quickly
jump into water, to hide.
1018
01:35:21,370 --> 01:35:24,070
But now, when undressing,
I see it as normal.
1019
01:35:25,470 --> 01:35:29,370
If he undressed at school,
and let teachers know?
1020
01:35:29,770 --> 01:35:31,570
The teachers would say?
1021
01:35:34,170 --> 01:35:37,270
I'm sure the teacher
would react very badly.
1022
01:35:37,470 --> 01:35:39,970
Yeah, typical.
1023
01:35:40,970 --> 01:35:47,260
And if he undressed in school
among the girls or his friends,
1024
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:51,360
on the playground or in the
classroom, how will he react?
1025
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:53,260
How would who react?
1026
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:59,360
Well ... I would feel ashamed,
I would fight them and run away.
1027
01:36:00,260 --> 01:36:05,960
Or they will say: "If you
undress, will you see yourself?"
1028
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:10,460
Because everyone is the same.
- So, do you look to others?
1029
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:15,060
When I'm with my friends at the
pool with only one dressing room,
1030
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:16,660
then everybody gets undressed
together in the locker room.
1031
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,260
And then they laugh at me if I
wear trunks and they don't.
1032
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:22,960
And they say: "Alone your
naked before everybody."
1033
01:36:24,860 --> 01:36:26,560
Like cats and dogs.
1034
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:30,560
It's normal. With bathing suits,
you still see people's shapes.
1035
01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:34,860
When the vacation is over,
you can practice nudity at home?
1036
01:36:35,060 --> 01:36:38,260
I often walk around the house naked.
1037
01:36:38,660 --> 01:36:42,560
Unless there are guests,
then I'll get dressed.
1038
01:36:43,460 --> 01:36:46,260
Guests will be asked:
"I'm naked to do?"
1039
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:48,360
They will shock loss.
- True...
1040
01:36:49,060 --> 01:36:52,060
When at home with parents,
I'm always naked.
1041
01:36:52,260 --> 01:36:54,760
In fact, I began to practice nude.
1042
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:58,660
I tried to convince a friend,
and they'd say: "Yeah, great."
1043
01:36:58,760 --> 01:37:02,460
But they do not want parents
to know. That's trouble.
1044
01:40:42,460 --> 01:40:47,660
