H&E naturist Magazine April 2024 Edizione posteriore

H&E naturist, April 2024 edition.

This month, we take another in-depth look at naturism in Britain, including the results of our survey of clubs and venues. The results are a bit concerning - laying bare the impact of Covid, the cost-of-living crisis and changing demographics, which are seeing falling attendances at some events, membership fees lapsing, and venues often struggling to put (naked) bums on seats.

We also take a look at UK naturist venues’ websites, and, by and large, the outcome here is underwhelming, too - as editor Paul says, “the overall standard tends to veer from exceedingly average to woeful”. As British Naturism celebrates its 60th year, what can be done if we’re to ensure the lifestyle remains healthy for another six decades and beyond?

Elsewhere, we meet self-confessed “Jill of all trades” Jade Trussler, who tells how nude modelling has given her a new lease of life, while Helen Berriman writes about how naturism can help women with changes in the body, especially during the menopause.

Nigel Newman looks back on 25 years of the Christian Naturist Fellowship, while New Yorkers Justin and Nikki explain more about their “passion project”, Nude Lease On Life.

Nick and Lins of Naked Wanderings find themselves in New Zealand this month - but find the beaches a bit hit and miss.

Simon Goss continues his life modelling masterclass series, while Evan Nicks looks at how AI art platforms handle nudity. Spoiler alert: not very well…
