Naturism is the literal embodiment of this slogan. On a nude beach or at a naturist resort, the "beach body" is whatever body happens to be on the beach. There is no suckling in the stomach, no adjusting of flattering swimwear, and no fear of a wardrobe malfunction. By removing the clothes, you remove the performance. You are free to swim, sunbathe, and socialize without the constant mental soundtrack of self-critique. A Lifestyle of Authenticity

Body positivity culture, in its commercialized form, often tells us to "love your curves" or "embrace your cellulite"—but usually from behind a piece of clothing. It implies that you must achieve a certain mental state before you can be seen.

Whether you want ?

Body positivity tells you to love your body. Naturism goes a step further: it teaches you to stop worrying about your body altogether.
