Naturist writers
Elton Raymond Shaw was a Methodist churchman and publisher who composed on the Body Taboo.
http://dnatreatments.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=allnudism.xyz composed on procedures to enhance social hygiene in his book Nackende Menchen und Jauchzen der Zukunft (Naked folks and the future of Mankind) and then Nacktkultur (Bare Culture).
Paul Zimmermann, started the Freilicht Park in Lbeck which was open to those who subscribed to Nacktkultur rules.[34]
Richard Ungewitter wrote Die Nacktheit (Nakedness) which sold 90,000 copies, prescribed a similar Utopian lifestyle, where everyone would be naked, eat only vegetables and abstain from alcohol and tobacco. In his Utopia, everyone was to be Germanic with blue eyes and blond hair.[34]
Adolf Koch, a left wing primary-school teacher, sought to use social nudity to free the people from 'authority fixated conditioning which held proletarians in deference of their masters: parental authority, paternalism of the church, the mass media and organs of law and order. He used All-Natural-Rhythmic exercises in Berlin schools in the 1920s.
Hans Surn educated bare gymnastics to soldiers for five years, and on being compelled to leave the army, he composed in 1924, Mensch und die Sonne (Guys and the Sun) which ran to 61 reprints.[34] Later, in 1936, Surn proposed physical exercise and naturism as a means of creating a pure German race and of attractiveness. In the early 1940s he was out of favour and arrested. By 1945, he had turned full circle and was writing religious texts. Though never an associate of any FKK club he was given honorary membership of the DFK in 1952.
Werner Zimmermann was Swiss. He promoted Progressive education, encouraging nude Physical education to eliminate body guilt and to encourage openness that would lift the repression of the human spirit, which he viewed as the cause of sexual deviation. The basic position was that the body, in and of itself, was neither sinful nor obscene. This was adopted into the emerging doctrine that created the modern Western nudist movement.
Naturist ideals
Family in Praia do Abric, Brazil
People have formed naturist groups for a variety of unique functions.[8] It's generally agreed by naturist organisations that eroticism and blatant sexuality don't have any place in nudism and are, in reality, antithetical to its ideals. Reasons that have at times been given:
Environmental or environmental --- connection with the natural world.
Wellness --- bathing in the sun, clean air and water (balneotherapy, thalassotherapy, heliotherapy). Sun is a kind of medicine.
http://annand.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=crazypublic.com --- Nudism has at times been associated with claims made for moderation with alcohol, meat, tobacco, drugs; leading to a teetotal, vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.
Rapport with other humans --- equality and respect.
Spirituality --- guy is no more than an animal.[citation needed]
Pedagogy --- children should be honored as equals instead of being patronised[citation needed]
Equality --- clothes construct social impediments. Societal nudity leads to endorsement in spite of differences in age, body shape, fitness, and health.[35]
Independence --- no one has the right to tell others or their kids that they must wear clothing.
Nudism and the romantics
Walt Whitman American writer, A Sun-bathed Nakedness:
Nature was naked, and I was additionally... Pleasant, sane, still Nakedness in Nature! - ah if poor, sick, prurient humanity in cities might really know you once more! Is not nakedness indecent? No, not fundamentally. It's your thought, your sophistication, your fear, your respectability, that is indecent. There come

Henry David Thoreau, In wildness is the preservation of the world., Walking:
We cannot adequately appreciate this facet of nature if we approach it with any taint of human pretense. It's going to elude us if we let artifacts like clothing to intervene between ourselves and this Other. To apprehend it, we cannot be nude enough.[36]
This movement was based on the French concept of joie de vivre, the thought of revelling freely in physical sensations and direct experiences and a spontaneous approach to life
