Blind Naturist
Episode 167
Much of the issue around nudity has to do with either being seen nude or seeing others that way. Therefore naturism for a person without sight should be easier – but it is not. Accessibility for those with disabilities is a challenge throughout the world. For those who participate in naturism, it is no easier. Most beaches are in remote and difficult to access locations. Many clubs and resorts were built decades ago and have limited adaptations for disabled people. What is even more problematic is the lack of understanding from many people in the community.
