It is only the stereotype that our country's picked up, and with great reason.
follow may surprise you, then, to hear that being bare is a pretty common thing up here. Not in public, mind you; we're, normally, a quiet, self-conscious culture that strives to offend no one. But it's a rare Canuck indeed who's never gone skinny dipping on a hot July night at a bungalow, or stripped off at a deserted playa, or lounged around the house with nothing more than a towel.
The most recent Federation of Canadian Naturists survey, conducted by a respected third party statistics firm, indicates that about two-thirds of Canadians have some measure of nudie in us. Almost half the state is OK with being bare around your house, 60 percent of us like sleeping naked, and completely one quarter of Canadians believe skinny dipping in mixed company or stripping off at the plage would be a great idea.
Ontario alone has at least nine official naturist venues, and we're conscious of a half-dozen other popular places - and hundreds of unofficial swimming holes - where garments just ain't needed. We are, in the end, at the exact same latitude as the French Mediterranean coast, with a climate which is highly conducive to the clothing-free life for one-third of the year.
What, though, is a poor frozen Canadian to do in the chilly season, when we are putting on 16 pieces of insulated clothing to go plug in the block heater and crank up the snowblower? While it is sometimes tempting to give up and hibernate until spring, there's no need to change who we're only because the weather's less than perfect. We must make do with whatever Mother Nature decides to throw our way.
We may not be able to go out in the cold (at least not for long), but the principal reasons for societal nudity - the truthfulness, the openness, the freedom, the comfort, the equality, the admiration, the interesting - are just as valid inside. We slip something delicious in the oven, we put on some good music, we break out the drinks. It is tough to stay dressed when you're basking in the glow of a cranked-up woodstove, even if it's twenty below zero outside.

The most challenging part, actually, is finding folks to share this with. Remember those data we mentioned earlier? Those were gathered from individuals who knew they had remain anonymous. We're still a quiet, timid culture, and we're taught which you do not talk about such matters, just in case someone might disapprove. The danger of being hassled by a difficult prude, or of having to answer awkward questions from friends and family, appear to count heavily on people's thoughts.
Anecdotal evidence and our own experience implies that these aren't really issues - but the panic that they could be problems is real, and that fear is frequently enough to stop people from trying things they genuinely might like to do.
Presuming the FCN survey results are even remotely accurate, there are several thousand twenty-something and thirty-something people in our city (Kingston, ON) alone who would truly appreciate a fun, naked break from winter - if they knew it existed, and if they knew nobody would judge them because of it.

Our obvious next step, then, is always to create environments where young people like us, many of whom are just starting to experience the clothes-optional life, can feel comfortable and relaxed, in a recognizable culture and around supportive peers. Some states in the US have FKK-related groups, and we are beginning to spin up the Kingston-Frontenac Free Body Society (KFFBS) in eastern Ontario.
What is
http://milfsexneeds.com/cgi-bin/a2/out.cgi?s=55&u=https://familynudism.info ? We are an 18-to-late-30s social group who enjoy new friendships and old, relaxing fun in sunlight, and new thoughts for open minds. We enjoy intelligent dialogue, cutting-edge science and good literature.
We like great food and drink, enjoyment and laughter. We like the feel of sunlight and breeze on our bodies. We're about creating a positive, safe and friendly space where you can relax, de stress and just enjoy being individual.
The Kingston, Ontario area has some of the finest outside on the planet, and we take full benefit of it - whether hiking, swimming, snowshoeing, sailing or simply lounging around nude on the strand. We try to create a space that is welcoming and comfortable for everyone.
If this sounds attractive, come read more about us. And, if you're in our geographical and demographic extent, introduce yourself and come on out!
We now have a four-twine stack of firewood in the drop to make sure of that.
