Whether prosecution may be disproportionate to any eventual penalty, given that the offence is summary only and non-imprisonable. A prosecution will not automatically follow where a case passes the evidential stage of the Full Code Test. Careful consideration of the public interest will be required in such a case. The Code for Crown Prosecutors (8th edition) requires prosecutors to consider the following questions: Not everyone is so understanding of naturism, although Robbie believes that the dog walkers he encounters are more concerned about their pooch jumping up and doing some damage. At common law it is an offence to do in public any act of a lewd, obscene or disgusting nature which outrages public decency. If conduct falls within the scope of a statutory offence, such as exposure contrary to section 66 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (see above) it is better practice to charge that offence unless, exceptionally, the offence merits a higher penalty than that available in relation to the statutory offence. Outraging public decency is triable either way and there is no maximum penalty.
They hold one event alongside us and then realise it’s a great commercial opportunity: if they put on something a bit unusual at a time of the week when they wouldn’t usually be open or have many customers, they get a guaranteed crowd.”In the wake of World War II, Pollen writes, English nudism was drained of ideology. Modern nudists embrace the practice for relaxation and a sense of personal freedom, not in the hopes of ushering in a new Golden Age. The buff pound is definitely something that businesses are increasingly aware of,” said Welch, who is busy organising this weekend’s annual Great British Skinny Dip.
But we got absolutely no complaints at all,” she said. “I think locals are aware that these events bring new business into the village as a whole. Because naturists tend to come from so far away, they spend the whole day here. Haywood doesn’t usually wander naked in the garden – he prefers to visit a naturist resort with his wife, Rhona. Photograph: Fabio De Paola/The Guardian She said that the reaction she has had from people has mostly been positive, with the only 'negative' responses just being from people who are mostly curious as to why she would want to get naked in front of other people. Arundel Lido in West Sussex is about to start holding monthly sessions after the success of its first tentative event. “We held our first naturist event just to see what the uptake would be, and were stunned when 80 people turned up,” said Nikki Richardson, its general manager.The nudists’ rhetoric was an extreme version of dress reform arguments that had already helped render corsets and long skirts obsolete.

As someone who owns waxing salons and trains beauticians in waxing, Natalie said that she has always been involved in people's bodies and has been instrumental in helping people to feel comfortable and confident when naked. It makes perfect business sense because we’re reaching a whole new client base; naturists are prepared to travel for miles – we had people from the Isle of Wight and from Portsmouth.” Mainstream companies are increasingly realising that catering to the “buff pound” makes sound business sense. Andrew Welch, from British Naturism, said venues now regularly hold their own naturist events after having hosted a one-off occasion with his organisation. Since the beginning, naturism has been a family movement. Because its adherents believed that all of humanity would benefit, it was natural that children should be included. In Germany, a naturist-focused series of schools was even created by Adolf Koch in the early 20th century. (Körperkulturschule Adolf Koch) More recently, a multitude of scholarly research papers in psychology and sociology suggest that children reared in an atmosphere containing family social nudity benefit from the practice. In this episode we discuss this academic aspect with Mark Storey.For Julian, current chairman at Adolf Koch in Berlin, freedom was found on a warm summer's night at age 17 while skinny dipping with friends. Briony Newsome, the acting chair of the Shap open-air swimming pool committee in Cumbria, decided to warn neighbours whose houses overlook the pool when they started holding their regular monthly sessions recently.
