Non-Sexual Nudity Motivations Study
Étude sur les Motivations liées à la Nudité Non Sexuelle
An ongoing international research initiative examining why people support, oppose, follow, consume, discuss, or participate in non-sexual nudity.
Initiative internationale de recherche en cours examinant pourquoi les personnes soutiennent, s'opposent, suivent, consultent, discutent ou participent à la nudité non sexuelle.
This study is broader than naturism. It explores attitudes, motivations, perceptions, concerns, experiences, and behavioural factors linked to non-sexual nudity in modern society.
Cette étude va au-delà du naturisme. Elle explore les attitudes, motivations, perceptions, préoccupations, expériences et facteurs comportementaux liés à la nudité non sexuelle dans la société contemporaine.
Why This Study Matters
Non-sexual nudity is often misunderstood, oversimplified, or viewed only through cultural, moral, sexual, or legal assumptions. The NSNMS aims to build a broader evidence base by collecting data from participants, supporters, opponents, observers, media consumers, researchers, health professionals, policymakers, and members of the general public.
By collecting large-scale data over time, the NRE Health Institute aims to improve understanding of human behaviour, stigma, wellbeing, social attitudes, body image, public perception, and the role of non-sexual nudity in contemporary society.
The Study Includes
Naturism and Nudism
Participation, support, opposition, barriers, and public perception.
Body Image and Wellbeing
How comfort, confidence, stigma, and body perception influence attitudes.
Media and Information
How people encounter, trust, consume, and interpret content related to non-sexual nudity.
Policy and Society
Views on designated locations, public education, legal clarity, and social acceptance.

Adults aged 18 years or older may complete the survey. Participation is open to people from all countries and backgrounds, whether they participate in non-sexual nudity, support it, oppose it, are neutral, or are simply interested in the subject.

Related NRE Health Institute Research
The Non-Sexual Nudity Motivations Study (NSNMS) forms part of a broader programme of ongoing international research conducted by the NRE Health Institute.
Each study examines a different aspect of naturism, non-sexual nudity, public attitudes, human behaviour, and social perception.
How Is NSNMS Different from the SSM?
Although both studies examine topics related to naturism and non-sexual nudity, they focus on different questions.
Standardised Stigma Measure (SSM)
Examines public attitudes, stigma, acceptance, social perception, and public understanding.
Non-Sexual Nudity Motivations Study (NSNMS)
Examines motivations, barriers, experiences, participation, perceptions, media influence, wellbeing, and behavioural factors.
Together, these studies help create a more comprehensive understanding of non-sexual nudity and its place within modern society.
Standardised Stigma Measure (SSM)
The Standardised Stigma Measure is one of the largest ongoing studies examining attitudes toward naturism and non-sexual nudity.
With more than 131,000 responses collected internationally, the SSM continues to measure public perception, stigma, acceptance, and social attitudes across different populations and regions.
The study remains open and continues to collect responses.
