Greetings.

My name is Steve and I live in the city of Tauranga in the North Island of New Zealand.

I have identified as a naturist since 2011 and try to follow the naturist philosophy as much as I can.

Starting in March 2022, I published a weekly blog about my thoughts on nudity, naturism and society’s difficulty in accepting people with a clothing-optional philosophy.

After 100 or so entries, I felt that I was becoming a slave to the schedule rather than adding anything fresh to the conversation, and I decided to only post something when I had something to say.

Since March 2024, my posts have become less regular.

This content is freely available for several reasons, but primarily to reduce any barriers for people wanting access to the stuff I write.   I don’t think it helps to get a message out there if you chuck it behind a paywall. Having said that, please feel free to donate via buy-me-a-coffee if you think my writing is worth recognition.

I am happy for content to be shared for non-commercial purposes, so long as the source is attributed or linked.

Feedback and comments are always appreciated, but if you are going to be negative or criticise, make it about the specific issue that you are concerned about, and don’t make it personal.  The world has enough negativity in it already.
