Before reading this thread (and I’ve read every post) I would have dismissed a “Mormon Nudist” as a terribly confused soul. I see now that it’s not as black and white as I would have thought, and many times in reading some posts in favor of nudism I’ve thought, “that’s actually a sound point.” My biggest “Ah Ha!” moment here was when someone, I don’t recall who, said the reason they like going to nude beaches is because it feels wonderful to feel the sun and breeze and water on all parts of his body. That speaks to me much more then conversations about Adam and Eve, pornography, or temple garments.
Vintage nude Mormon bodybuilders? Who’da thought good Mormon lads got their dicks out for 1950s photographers? Well, two Junior Mr Utahs certainly did and here are the pics of Mike Sill and Walt Needham to prove it.
Mormon Women Bare All is a new project headed by Katrina Barker Anderson, a member of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She invites other female members of the church to pose nude in order to challenge the conservative views posed by the Mormon religion on the female body. Baker hopes that taking a positive, body-affirming stance will make an impact on the severe views of the LDS.
Baker explains that the Mormon religion further complicates the already-intricate relationship women have with their bodies, which are simultaneously sexualized and policed. She says, “We must both attract and protect against male desire. Even though Mormonism teaches us our destiny is to become like our embodied Heavenly Parents, the hyper-focus on modesty leaves many of us feeling disconnected and ambivalent about our bodies.”
The end result is a powerful reinterpretation of the conjunction between religion and sexuality.
