Wikipedia defines nudism as, ”a cultural and political movement advocating and defending social nudity in private and in public. It may also refer to a lifestyle based on personal, family and/or social nudism.”
It’s really a matter of what it isn’t. Society, particularly in Malaysia (and other parts of the world) seems obsessed with appearances that outwardly project a false image.
Naked is naked…that’s how it is, no pretenses. Below are some points to ponder……
Nudism is not sexual.
Many people, particularly those in Malaysia as well as across the world, find this hard to believe and accept, because for so long, our culture and society has taught us to equate nudity with sex. The entertainment media (TV, movies, magazines) only show nudity in sexual settings and context.

Most people new to nudism will eventually find that after their first few minutes at any nudist gathering that nudity quickly ceases to be shocking or even interesting. After you’ve seen 1000 nude people, there is little that is new or fascinating about number 1001.
Most nudists are very conservative and monogamous in their sexual behavior. Family-oriented nudist resorts have policies regarding displays of physical affection, restricting any manner of public sexual conduct. (This is not to say that nudists are anti-sex or don’t enjoy sex; but like anyone else, we enjoy it in private.)
As one nudist guidebook puts it, “One nude posed upon a divan is erotic. A hundred nudes waiting in line for potato salad are not.”
Nudism is not exhibitionism.
Exhibitionists display themselves in a manner that they know will shock and offend, and they get a thrill from provoking reactions from others. Nudists enjoy being without clothing for its own sake, and do not wish to shock or offend. In most cases, traditionally nude beaches and resorts are in remote locations in order that non-nudists will be less likely to come across them and be offended.
