Nudism is the practice of individuals who get naked and take off their because of health reasons, a nudist group or just for comfort.  Nudism is an acceptable social practice in which both female and male individuals meet at a specified location and interact with each other comfortably without engaging in any sexual contact.  This practice originated in Germany during the early 20th century and is representative of a rebellion that took place against the strict moral practices in Germany in the late 19th century. After World War I, nudism then spread throughout Europe and was established in North America in the 1930's.
