In our next big step to share the benefits of Naturism, British Naturism and TheNakedTruth campaign are now on Vimeo!
Over the last couple of years, there has been an explosion in our video content as Saoirse, Claire, and Kelsey have visited our festivals, talking to people about what first drew them to Naturism, how it has supported their mental wellbeing, and what they’ve enjoyed most about these events.
The objective of this campaign has always been to address the feelings of low self-worth that plague society — particularly among younger generations — and to start a conversation about how we can rebuild self-esteem and body confidence. Naturists know that spending time naked enhances our sense of worth, and scientific studies have proven the link between happiness and social nudity.
However, sharing that truth can be difficult. Facts alone are rarely emotionally compelling, and video content offers a powerful way to bring these stories to life. The challenge has been how to reach a wider public audience.
So far, TheNakedTruth has focused on Instagram, the largest platform for visual content. The results have been phenomenal, reaching over 1.5 million viewers each month through the summer and still attracting three quarters of a million views monthly in autumn. Yet, restrictions on nudity — even in discussion rather than display — have created obstacles. While our focus is always on ideas, not bodies, the need to obscure natural skin tones can sometimes mask the authentic human expression that’s part of genuine conversation.
YouTube, like Instagram, also imposes strict content rules, making extended discussions between people feel less natural and limiting the depth of the message.
To address this, TheNakedTruth is now live on Vimeo. While Vimeo requires age verification, it gives us the freedom to share our original stories and speak openly about the challenges people face, and how Naturism has helped them overcome low points in their lives.
So far, two powerful videos have been released.
• In the first, Kelsey talks about how damaging relationships once destroyed her self-confidence — and how spending time naked helped her rebuild a positive relationship with her body.
• In the second, Martha shares her story of trauma and self-hate, and how discovering Naturism became a life-changing experience that helped her heal and grow into the person she is today.
These are just two of the many voices showing how Naturism can lift us up. More content will be released over time, including discussions about the challenges young people face and the “elephant in the room” — gender inequality, and why women’s and men’s bodies are viewed and treated so differently in society.
Go watch these recordings, and share them widely.
We know that Naturism can change lives for the better—let’s make sure more people know that too.
