General Naturism Discussion / Re: Permanude
« on: May 23, 2020, 10:05:43 PM »
The first permanude postings on Tumbler which resulted in various fiction book series did start with the idea of permanude as punishment, and some of the series did use that as a starting point, but that is not the main purpose for the permanude lifestyle, but rather a twisted add-in put in the laws by anti-nude politicians. Since many of the posters here keep referring to that aspect, it's obvious they haven't read any of the books.
The (fantasy) laws that established the "permanude" lifestyle were part of an entire "lifestyle protection" set of laws that made any of a number of lifestyles protected as approved ways of life. Religion, sexual identity, naturism, permanude, all sorts of ways to live were set as permissible and protected, and there were punishments for attacking, arresting or otherwise interfering with a person who had registered in that lifestyle for living in that manner and set of beliefs. If the lifestyle adhered to included actions or way of living contrary to the prevailing customs and laws, the lifestyle was paramount and allowed with the laws and customs invalid for that lifestyle.
Since those choosing the permanude lifestyle (or were forced into it as a penalty) were always nude and forbidden anything that hid the primary and secondary sexual attributes of a person, and thus were subject to normal physical reactions such as becoming visibly aroused and needing an outlet to the need, the laws around public sexual reactions and behavior were made invalid for the permanude. The opposing Naturist (nudist) lifestyle explicitly forbade public sexual actions, so were subject to the laws. Just being nude wasn't enough.
Anyway, the books by Gloria and several other authors explore the effect of the permanude lifestyle on the characters and the rest of the world. Some are blatant porn, some are more examinations of the regular life of permanude. But if you were ever curious about what it might be like to live always (required) nude, without the lewdness laws applying, they can be fun.
