Attended by a diverse mix of nudists, freedom-lovers, wild-men, and innocent bystanders, the Parade includes a series of rituals celebrating the beauty of the body and its liberation. Groups of people move "as one" through city streets, amongst police, street people, merchants, students and tourists who watch and join into an experience of "radical friendliness". Welcome to InTheBuff aka ITB, firstly thank you for visiting, if you are looking for information about naturism and naturists, you have come to the right place. Every time I do another naked event, my confidence grows, and I feel so at peace with my body. I wish society would understand that there's nothing weird or strange about being naked," she tells me. Siobhan’s three children, aged 36, 29 and 26, have been supportive of her decision, although one of her daughters has asked not to be invited to a naked Sunday lunch because “the idea of hot gravy is a bit scary.” However, in day-to-day life, Welch insists that practising naturism doesn’t mean that he’s naked all the time at home as he “feels the cold a bit too much.” Peter's Friends was nominated for a Goya Award and won two Evening Standard British Film Awards. It also ranked in eighth place on the National Board of Review's Top Ten 1992 films.

Members at ITB are a friendly open minded group of people whose lives are touched by naturism, whether they are a beach-only naturist, a home naturist, or a full time naturist. Everyone is welcome here, to chat, to discuss, to engage with like minded people, and to learn and understand why the human body is the most natural thing in the world. While membership in the UK is booming, overseas the naturist community is grappling with a new problem. Last week, French regional health authorities said there had been a “very worrying” outbreak of coronavirus at the Cap d’Adge resort, a naturist holiday resort on the French Mediterranean coast, with 95 people testing positive for Covid-19. Meanwhile in the Czech Republic, law enforcers issued a warning in March after a group of naturists had to be reminded to wear face masks as they basked in warm weather.For Jewish families, a specially trained religious person called a Mohel does the circumcision as part of a ceremony called a Bris, held on the eighth day of life. Circumcision is also routinely performed on the sons of those of the Islamic faith, typically when a boy is between 5 and 10 years of age. In the United States non-religious circumcision is usually done by a doctor in the first few days of life; other countries also perform the procedure for non-religious reasons as a matter of social custom. Critic James Berardinelli spoke poorly of the film, giving it two-and-a-half out of a possible four stars and stating, "At its best, Peter's Friends is warm, touching, and funny. At its worst, it's annoying and preachy. Fortunately, there are a few more moments in the former category than in the latter." While praising Branagh's direction and performances by the cast, Berardinelli attributed most of his discontent to the film's screenplay, concluding, "This is Branagh's worst effort to date and shows, if nothing else, that no matter how talented the director and his cast, he still needs a decent screenplay. And that, ultimately, is where Peter's Friends falls short."

But like any community, the nudists have their flash points. ­Property ownership is far from the only bone of contention.

Ten years later, Peter has recently inherited the family estate, and invites his friends up for the 1992-1993 New Year's weekend. Peter's Friends is a 1992 British comedy film directed and produced by Kenneth Branagh, and written by Rita Rudner and Martin Bergman. Out-of-the-blue we received an invitation from Dave Nadel to perform in his club, Ashkenaz. He wanted to host a benefit for the legal fees in our attempt to overturn the recently-passed Berkeley anti-nudity ordinance. Ashkenaz is a big venue, so, we thought, why not come up with some ambitious new material? Young athletic life drawing model available for classes, small groups and hen parties in Kent and London. In the summer of 1992 we became friends with Andrew Martinez, a young UC Berkeley student who became known as "The Naked Guy" for attending classes nude. After a number of adventures, arrests, and expulsion from UC, he worked on a document he called The Militant Nudist Manifesto. Before he left Berkeley he entrusted that document to Deb.

Our chatroom is a small, fairly quiet one where people can really get to know each other. It is aimed at the more mature, genuine UK naturist, although we welcome people of all ages from all over the world.
