List of people in social nudity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below are lists of individuals associated with some aspect of a general movement for clothes free or clothing-optional activities. Some of these people support the movement, some are critics, some persecuted those in the movement.
Some people do this within the context of art, popular culture, nudism, naturism, the free beach movement, public nudity or the topfree equality movement (the inclusion of which in this section is under debate).
- See clothes free organizations for clarification on organization names
- See criticism of the clothes free movement for more information on people and issues reflecting criticism or opposition to the clothes free movement.
