Nudism is the practice, or support for the practice, of living in a manner in which people are nude during their personal interactions with eachother, when the temperature permits it.

Nudism is practiced for multiple reasons. They are:
1. The humility of the one who is nude: When one is nude for all to see, one does not dominate one's body, such that it facilitates the virtue of humility in the one who is nude.
2. The humility of the partner of the one who is nude: When one's love partner is nude, then one does not dominate that love partner's body, such that it facilitates the virtue of humility in the love partner of the one who is nude.
3. The humility of the parents of the one who is nude: When one's child is nude, then one does not dominate that child's body, such that it facilitates the virtue of humility in the parents of the one who is nude.
4. Honesty: Nudism, when combined with a ban on plastic surgery, presents one's body honestly as it is, keeping none of it secret, thus practicing the virtue of honesty.
5. Eugenic breeding: As a consequence of the aforementioned honesty, better-informed mate selections can be made, such that eugenic breeding is facilitated. (This was one of the reasons behind East German nudism).
