Naturism is built on trust. People can only relax when they know their boundaries will be heard, their privacy will be protected and the same standards apply to everyone. These principles matter at in-person events and in every online community space.
Consent should be clear and ongoing
Do not assume that nudity means openness to touch, flirting or sexual attention. It does not. Ask before physical contact, including hugs, and respond graciously if the answer is no. Consent can be withdrawn at any time without explanation.
Pay attention to body language, but do not rely on it instead of asking. A direct, low-pressure question is usually the kindest approach.
Privacy comes before content
Never photograph, film or livestream at a naturist event unless the organiser permits it and every identifiable person has given explicit consent. Permission to take a photograph is not automatically permission to post it online, send it privately or reuse it later.
Keep phones stored away when possible. If you need to make a call or send a message, move to the area designated by the host.
Online respect matters too
- Do not copy another member’s photos, profile information or messages.
- Do not share screenshots outside the community.
- Avoid pressuring anyone to move a conversation to another platform.
- Report harassment, impersonation or boundary violations promptly.
- Remember that a private message still needs the same courtesy as a public conversation.
Keep naturism social, not sexual
Our community is for gay men, but a shared sexual orientation does not make every space sexual. Friendly conversation, body acceptance and companionship are the focus. Sexual behaviour, explicit advances and objectifying comments undermine the safety that social naturism requires.
Speak up early
If something feels wrong, step away and tell an organiser or moderator. You do not need to confront someone alone. Clear reporting helps protect both you and the wider community.
Please read the full Community Guidelines and use our Contact and Reporting page whenever you need help. Respect is not an extra rule—it is what makes the community possible.
