It is difficult to appreciate your body if you’re thinking about the extra donuts you ate, or if you’re counting all of the wasted calories that you’ve taken in. It will make you feel insecure or guilty, which is counter to the confidence you’ll need to have fun naked. For Laurent Luft, president of the Association des Naturistes de Paris (ANP), a very active nudists’ group operating since 1953, the rise of interest in nudism could be due to the fact that "when you're feeling confined and closed in...taking your clothes off becomes a way to free yourself a little. So, even in our tiny little Parisian apartments, with no gardens and sometimes no balcony or anything, we still have that possibility." Naturism goes virtual The Summary OffencesAct, assented in 1981, makes no mention of public nudity. Instead, the law talks about "indecency" and offensive behaviour – whether being naked in public is "indecent" is very much up for debate. Eat healthy foods.

There's Naked Meditation which advises its 30-odd members to bring a towel or sarong "for hygiene purposes" and offers, "an invitation to move beyond personal preference and ideas of sexual attraction, into a space of welcoming and appreciating everyone."

I've got literally no idea what this means, and as there are just six members, I don't think many others do either.

The days of bare-it-all Germany, however, seem to be in decline. Naked gardeners tending to their gardens in Marlborough, England. Photo by John Rogers. Getty Images FKK clubs have complained about shedding members, in east Germany especially, since the Berlin Wall came down. Maybe in today’s Germany there’s no longer a need for demonstrating liberty and freedom by shedding our clothes.Stand in front of the mirror naked -- not to criticize -- but to appreciate.

Emma recommends the Sunday Swim for naturist newbies, explaining that often, to get involved in anything naturist, "you’ve got to take a barrowful of ID and fill in eight application forms!" For the swim, however, you can just turn up. "It's a good starting point for the younger demographic who like to be spontaneous and don't want to jump through a whole pile of hoops!" Nudism was particularly popular in East Germany, or German Democratic Republic as it was known. It was secretly considered a form of escape from the uniforms, marches and conformity of the communist state.
Nude scenes in GDR movies appeared long before the first naked people appeared in Hollywood films. The fondness for getting naked on both sides of the Iron Curtain also led to some curious incidents.

If anyone's worried about the weather, Craig says, "it's always been amazing! Cyclists stop part way round to put more suntan lotion on, and try not to make it too erotic!" Um, what?
