Helen talks to Dr Vian Aziz
Naturism is not something that is typically associated with women of Middle Eastern origin, on account of the social expectations from that part of the world making female body autonomy a challenge, let alone body acceptance. But for some the combination of academic education, cultural migration, and an innate sense of what is right creates a mind open to the possibility. Dr. Vian Aziz was born and raised in Iraq and through a series of moves she brought her young family to the UK in 2010, where she settled in Cardiff and works as a gynaecologist. Following her postgraduate study for a professional certificate in psychosexual counselling, she re-evaluated her own body perceptions leading her to not just try naturism, but to become an outspoken advocate for it. In this episode she tells her story to Helen.

Helen talks to Lins from "Naked Wanderings"
Переглядів 758Місяць тому
Is most of the current naturist content online created by older people for older people, with a world view of naturism that younger people simply can't relate to? Nick and Lins certainly believe so, which is why Naked Wanderings was born. In this episode Helen speaks to Lins who, along with her partner Nick, are a naturist couple from Belgium who formed Naked Wanderings eight years a go, and ...

Martha joined British Naturism when she was 19 on her way home from a naturist waterpark experience which truly turned her life around. Having fought with her weight and body dysmorphic attitudes throughout her teens, a joke about a naked waterpark visit turned into a reality that she faced head-on, and she has never l...
Wonderful positive interview. A lovely, radiant attitude from Vian, with great insight.
We agree!
I am an ex-Muslim. I am proud that I have broken away from Islam and now live a free, non-believing and more liberal life. I am also proud to be a nudist because I am allowed to accept and love my body without shame. I feel a deep affection for Germany and Europe because the openness and diversity of the people here have influenced me greatly. This has led to me wanting to adapt to the lifestyle and values of this society and to identify with it.
I want to be able to go to any large Town Centre, & walk around without any persecution. I wish people would understand that it’s legal to be nude everywhere in the UK.
Very entertaining and informative. I know it's aimed at a female audience, but a lot of the content applies universally, including Lins' spot-on description of the proud men formerly used to depict naturism.
Great to see no comments from men thanks to no pics.
Love this
Another great interview.
