Federations & Co
After reading this page we invite you to view two paths - one goal / For the last update please scroll to the end of this page.
Naturism has many voices, from international federations to local associations and grassroots movements. Each contributes in its own way to keeping naturism alive. At NaturismRE, we believe in acknowledging all contributions, while also shaping a broader and more inclusive future for naturism.
On this page, scroll below the communication photos - You’ll find links to organisations, federations, and movements from around the world. By listing them here, we aim to create a network of visibility and connection — so that anyone curious about naturism can discover the wide spectrum of groups involved. As you will discover, NaturismRE takes a very different path — we stand apart as a truly one-of-a-kind movement.
NaturismRE is a global initiative communicating through multilingual accounts. We initially reached out to naturist federations by email but received only silence. When FFN engaged, we welcomed the opportunity to open a professional, transparent dialogue about how to truly promote naturism and nudism.
In recognition of this, we corrected our earlier public statement with a multi-language video clip — not to exaggerate status, but to uphold transparency and accountability. We documented FFN’s engagement with our French outreach account and made it clear to the public.
However, after following our Instagram account and even liking our posts, the FFN’s official account publicly contradicted their earlier engagement and escalated further by posting: “vous mentez” (“you are lying”).
At NaturismRE, we remain focused on real advocacy work. We will not be drawn into quarrels or distractions. Our priority is to use our time and energy to advance naturism and nudism worldwide.
Because we value transparency above all, the entire interaction has been made public. We invite you to view the record yourself and decide who is being truthful. Should defamatory comments continue, however, we reserve the right to take legal action.

In contrast to the above, another federation prefer to view naturism as a whole family:
Update 10/09/2025 – Communication from INF
NaturismRE previously noted that our initial letters to federations received no replies.
Since then, the President of INF has written to us. His reply explained that any cooperation with INF is only possible within existing structures — either as a corporate partner or as a recognised special interest group — and, in our case, this would require the approval of the Australian Naturist Federation (ANF).
We acknowledge this clarification and have added it here as part of our ongoing commitment to transparency.

Related Body-Positive Naturist Movements (Similar Style)
The Topless Tour – A viral body-positive travel movement (started 2013) where women (and supporters) take photos topless (from the back) in scenic locations worldwide. Founded by three friends in London, it quickly amassed tens of thousands of followers and spread to participants in “every corner of the world”elle.com. The Topless Tour’s message was about “taking pride in our differences and embracing love for the body”, showing that baring one’s chest in nature can be freeing and non-sexualelle.comelle.com. This campaign helped normalize female toplessness in a joyful, travel-inspired way (often using the hashtag #TheToplessTour).
Cheeky Exploits – A lighthearted Instagram trend (circa 2017) centered on people photographing their bare buttocks in public landmarks and nature, purely for fun and body-acceptance. “Cheeky Exploits” is the name of both the hashtag and a popular IG account featuring “lots and lots of bare butts… of all genders, shapes, and sizes”refinery29.com. The idea is simple: flash a “cheeky” moon in a beautiful place to “spread the love” (their motto) and make the world smile. Though humorous, it’s been called a “joyous, celebratory” form of body positivity – reminding us that everyone has a butt and we might as well enjoy a laugh about itrefinery29.com!
“Just Naked” (Decent Exposure NYC) – A New York City-based organization (formerly Just Naked, now Decent Exposure) that curates urban clothes-free events. It is a community for people to socialize nude in non-sexual settings – from yoga and dance parties to art workshops. As their official page describes: “Just Naked curates urban clothes-free events in NYC. We are body-positive, sex-neutral, and judgement-free.”withfriends.events By hosting naked yoga classes, co-ed naked dinner parties, even nude rooftop gatherings, they operate in the same spirit of normalizing nudity as a path to self-acceptance. (Social: Instagram @wearejustnaked / @decentexposurenyc)
Free the Nipple – A global topfreedom campaign launched in 2012 that fights for gender equality in laws and attitudes around going shirtless. The movement highlights the double-standard that allows men’s chests to be bare in public, while women’s nipples are censored or deemed indecenten.wikipedia.org. Advocates (including many celebrities) have staged protests and social media campaigns under the slogan #FreeTheNipple. While not about full nudity, it’s closely related to body-positivity and naturism – aiming to desexualize the female body and grant women the same freedom to go bare-chested that men have. (Social: Instagram @freethenipple)
World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) – A well-established international protest event (since 2004) that embodies body-positivity, naturism, and activism. Each year, in over 70 cities worldwide, cyclists gather to pedal nude or semi-nude through the streetstheguardian.comtheguardian.com. The official goals are both environmental and body-positive: to protest oil dependency and car culture, but also to celebrate cyclist safety, diversity of body shapes, and the joy of nudity. As the ride organizers in Melbourne put it, WNBR spreads “a message of body positivity and environmentalism,” showing that you “don’t need to be buff” to enjoy being naked and activetheguardian.com. The carnival-like nude rides attract supportive crowds and media, helping normalize public nudity as a form of free expression and self-love.

🌿 NRE Special Note
NaturismRE – Speaking the Truth Without Fear
At NaturismRE (NRE), we do not sugar-coat reality. We speak it as it is. Sometimes this may sting, but our criticisms have a single purpose: to encourage reflection, correction, and growth.
What is black is black – we will not call it grey to comfort egos. We hold ourselves and others to the standard of progress, not complacency. Too often, established organisations fall asleep on their laurels, mistaking survival for success. NRE is here to remind them: advocacy never stops.
The true spirit of naturism and nudism, as envisioned by the founders, was always decentralised. No single body should claim dominion over the global movement. Naturism thrives on authenticity, mutual support, and open communication. Yet some organisations engage only when membership fees are paid – a betrayal of the very principles they claim to uphold.
Refusing to communicate is refusing naturism itself. Communication and solidarity are the lifeblood of this movement. Yes, the digital world has made it easier than ever to connect, but without genuine collaboration, naturism and nudism will continue to stagnate under the present status quo.
There is room for both the established and the emerging voices. But unless we communicate and support one another, this lifestyle will not expand into a widely recognised and legally supported reality. The same principle applies to individuals: if nudists and naturists continue to bicker, dilute identity, or assume “someone else will do it,” the community undermines itself.
So here is the truth: every one of us has a part to play.
Will you let the nudist/naturist community down by waiting for others?
Will you let the world down by refusing to support a positive societal shift?
Or will you let yourself down by failing to stand for freedom, respect, and balance with nature?
The choice is yours.
Update –10 September 2025: Communication from INF
In September 2025, INF President Stéphane Deschênes replied to one of our letters. While apologising for the late response, he suggested that NaturismRE (NRE) could apply to become a Corporate Partner or a Special Interest Group (SIG), provided that the Australian Naturist Federation (ANF) did not object.
After careful consideration, NRE has decided not to pursue either option, as neither structure aligns with our sovereign status and decentralised vision for naturism.
Corporate Partners
Organisations, companies, holiday centres, or other entities connected to naturism may apply.
To qualify, they must provide specific benefits to INF-FNI members (e.g., discounts, special offers, sponsorships).
Benefits of partnership include:
Use of a “Corporate Partner” logo.
Complimentary advertising on the INF-FNI website.
Ability to attend INF-FNI gatherings (World Congress, EuNat meetings).
Corporate Partners do not receive voting rights.
Admission is decided by the INF Central Committee, but the Member Federation in the partner’s country may object.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
International-level groups working on particular aspects of naturism may apply for recognition.
SIGs may attend and speak at INF-FNI events (World Congress, EuNat conferences).
SIGs do not receive voting rights.
In summary: These categories allow organisations beyond national federations to gain visibility and attend INF events; however, decision-making power (including voting rights) remains solely with the national federations.
NRE Sovereignty Note
Accepting either option would symbolically place NRE within INF’s hierarchy, as a junior, non-voting participant, rather than as a sovereign global movement.
For this reason, NRE has chosen not to pursue these categories. Our mission is to remain independent, decentralised, and transparent, advancing naturism globally in the spirit of its founders. We welcome dialogue and cooperation — but only in ways that respect our sovereignty and allow us to advocate boldly and freely for naturism’s future.
VIDEOS
NaturismRE publishes this material for transparency and accountability, all statements are supported by evidence, and readers are invited to make up their own minds.
NaturismRE does not hold grudges. For us, advancing nudism and naturism takes precedence over everything else.
Therefore, if FFN wishes to reconsider their comment and begin a fresh dialogue — with genuine interest in exploring true cooperation to advance naturism — NaturismRE would welcome such professional discussion.
As a gesture of goodwill, we would also consider removing the above chat history, once genuine intention has been demonstrated and proven.

When I speak in the podcast, I present myself as I am: nude. This is not for shock value, but because I have nothing to hide. My body language is fully observable, my words are transparent, and there is no attempt at deception. Naturism is about truth, openness, and trust. If I ask others to believe in this movement, I must also show that I live it — without barriers, without disguise. This is my way of demonstrating that what I say is genuine, because my whole self is on the record
