Write to an Attorney General or Justice Minister

Subject: Request for legal clarity concerning nudism, naturism and non-sexual nudity

Dear [Attorney General / Justice Minister's name] ,

I am writing regarding the legal treatment of nudism, naturism and non-sexual nudity within [jurisdiction].

My concern relates specifically to [identify the legislation, legal ambiguity, terminology, discrimination issue or other matter] .

I am seeking clarity as to how existing law distinguishes simple non-sexual nudity from sexual conduct, indecent conduct or other prohibited behaviour, and whether the current framework provides sufficient clarity for members of the public, enforcement authorities and other institutions.

Depending upon the responsibilities of your office, I respectfully ask that you consider or clarify:

• how non-sexual nudity is treated under existing legislation;
• whether nudism and naturism are expressly recognised or otherwise distinguished from sexual conduct;
• whether terminology used in legislation creates ambiguity or the potential for inconsistent interpretation;
• whether otherwise lawful naturist participation can be adversely affected by unclear or outdated legal frameworks;
• whether existing frameworks adequately address relevant discrimination or adverse treatment where applicable;
• whether clarification, guidance, further review or legislative reform may be appropriate where gaps are identified.

NaturismRE has developed the NICP Act, a model legislative framework intended to contribute to discussion concerning terminology, legal recognition, digital treatment, discrimination and the distinction between legitimate nudism and naturism and sexual activity.

I am not suggesting that this model necessarily represents the appropriate legislative solution for [jurisdiction]. I am asking whether your office would be willing to examine the issues it raises and consider whether existing law already addresses them adequately or whether further clarification may be warranted.

The NICP Act and supporting material are publicly available at:

I would appreciate your office advising whether these matters fall within your responsibilities and, where appropriate, whether they may warrant further consideration.

If responsibility rests with another Minister, department, authority or level of government, I would appreciate being directed to the appropriate body.

Thank you for considering my correspondence.

Yours sincerely,

[Your name]
