Philosophy
Here is the philosophy of the Dayton Warm Breezes Naturist Club.
Social naturism is open to individuals, couples, and families who wish to experience nature and connect with people in a natural state. Naturism lets us relax and let go of the stresses of our typical, clothed existence.
Nudity is a natural state of being. Nudity has no intent. It is neither immoral, suggestive, offensive, nor lewd. Our practice of social nudity is unrelated to our sexuality. Nudity is a state of undress; sex is an action. Social nudity is not sexual.
Every human body is as valuable as any other. Living in an always-clothed state creates barriers. When we shed our clothing, we let go of the personas and pretense we carry with us in the clothed world. Nude, we reveal the essence of who we are as humans.
Without the facade of clothing, we base our perceptions of ourselves and others on personality, spirit, and interaction. Social nudity requires us to be open with each other. We demonstrate the courage, confidence, and trust to stand before each other with nothing to hide. We say, "This is me as I am." As a community, we validate each other and form meaningful connections. Nude, we are all equals.
Naturists strive to be non-judgmental. Human bodies are essentially the same; what makes us special is our inner beauty, not outer appearance. We strive to know each other as people.
Naturists accept each other. We all know the courage it takes to remove the protection of our clothing. Respect for that courage, combined with trust, builds camaraderie between naturists.
Two types of people will not be welcome at DWB:
People looking for an "alternate lifestyle" or swinging environment must look elsewhere. We practice family-friendly naturism in accordance with AANR guidelines. Exhibiting overt sexual behavior will not be tolerated.
People who come to stare at nude people will be asked to leave. Extended focus on breasts or genital areas will not be tolerated. Naturists expect eye-to-eye conversation and respectful nudist etiquette.
Please review the code of conduct section in the policy manual (section 4) for additional guidelines.
