Naomi Wildman: Inside the Life of a Modern Nudist

Stripping down for subscribers — and for the great outdoors

Naomi Wildman began exploring the nudist lifestyle while she was traveling the world as a nomad. After years of working a series of unfulfilling corporate jobs, she finally decided to abandon office life in 2019. So she purchased a camper van and hit the road, living off of her savings as she traveled the country. In 2021, her roaming, nudist lifestyle inspired her to start an OnlyFans from the comfort of her own camper.

Now, Wildman considers herself a proud nudist, and embraces the clothes-free life any chance she gets — while alone in nature and, when allowed, in public. But practicing nudism and starting an OnlyFans has meant much more to her than becoming comfortable in her own naked skin; it’s also been a uniquely spiritual journey.

I’ve always been pretty comfortable without clothes on.

When I was a kid, I was the baby at the beach who never wanted to wear bikinis — I was just naked. When I was in high school, I had this cool, eclectic group of friends, and we practiced casual nudity together. It wasn’t really intentional; we’d just get home from school, take off our clothes and then hang out without putting them back on.

I’ve also always had a passion for traveling. I’m from Florida, and when I graduated high school, I went on my first road trip, saw the mountains for the first time and fell in love with different parts of the country. Finding a way to make traveling my full-time thing became really important to me. I worked corporate jobs, saved money and then would quit after a year or two.

Eventually, I bought a camper van for my travels. That’s how I ended up in Colorado and how I began working at a nudist hot springs resort. After work, I’d hang out in the springs, and I almost never wore a bathing suit. Six months into that job, I had the idea of starting an OnlyFans, so I could monetize the way I was living.

In my ideal world, I’d be mostly naked. Even when I’m at home, I spend most of my time in the nude. When I wake up in the morning, I don’t really feel like putting clothes on. I usually spend the first couple of hours of my day naked, and then I have things to do, so I have to get dressed to do them.

For me, nudism is more about being at peace with myself and feeling good in my own skin. There is, of course, also an exhibitionism component, but that’s only fun if it’s in a place where it’s accepted, like a nude beach. Otherwise, I don’t want to ruin someone’s day with my exhibitionism, and I don’t want to create nonconsensual experiences.

Being a nudist and a naturist are two different things — naturists only like to practice nudism in nature, but for me, it’s bigger than that. I will practice nudism anywhere. I don’t reserve it just for being outside — however, that’s the highest level of connection that you can have with your body, your spirit and the earth. When you’re naked outside and the sun is giving you a hug, it’s like you’re wearing the sun. It can really change your perspective of yourself and how you fit into the world.

I ask people all the time about their history with being naked, like, “Have you ever gone skinny-dipping?” Or: “Have you ever slept naked?” You’d be shocked by how few people have done either. So many people have never been naked in the water, and that’s wild to me. It’s so freeing and amazing. Once you get naked in the ocean, you cannot deny how good it feels — and how much peace you feel inside.

Originally, I put my OnlyFans link out there on my personal Instagram. I wouldn’t recommend doing that, by the way — it was crazy, but at least it got me kick-started, and I made enough money in my very first month to quit my job. I was shocked. I thought, “Oh, I’ll start an OnlyFans and be able to pay my grocery bill,” but it ended up matching my paycheck.

That’s when the international part of my travels started, and when I became a world-traveling nudist nomad. My former partner and I traveled to Costa Rica, Patagonia, Mexico, Japan and more. A lot of my OnlyFans content is from those travels — I’d go on hikes and get naked on them as much as possible. That was the main thing, plus solo and boy-girl videos, which also supplemented my income.

I love the freedom I have now, as well as the ability to design my day or travel anywhere I want to go at any time. I also love that I can fully express myself. Self-expression is difficult to tap into because society doesn’t always treat it with kindness.

There are obviously cons to my lifestyle as well. Explaining yourself to people, for one, can be difficult — you have to be okay with them forming their own opinions about you before they even know you. Another thing is your digital footprint, which isn’t something I really cared about until recently. Nothing happened, but I started to get more conscious of the fact that all of my body is forever out there on the Internet.

Good thing I’m comfortable being naked, regardless. Honestly, if you come over to my house on any given day, you’ll probably see my naked body anyway. — As told to Serena Tara

Carrot Top

Fun with vegetables

This one doesn’t need much convincing — that is, if you’re on the receiving end of things. Regardless of what orifice you’re trying to shove this carrot into, please, for the love of everything that’s hole-y, remember to slap a condom on it — sturdy vegetables can (and will) snap in half. — Serena Tara

The One-Boobed Warriors of Ancient Greece

Meet every historian’s favorite bloodthirsty lesbians

In Greek mythology, the Amazons were skilled female fighters of the ancient world. They were warriors who lived in all-women societies (usually interpreted as historical code for “lesbians”) and murdered their boy babies.

Archeologists have found legit evidence of “battle-scarred female archers” in Azerbaijan, but history bros can’t help but sexualize such sapphic slayers.

Take Penthesilia for example. This Amazonian queen fought valiantly against the hulking demigod Achilles, eventually losing the hard-fought battle. But in Robert Graves’ 20th century retelling, Penthesilia became nothing more than a sexy corpse; apparently, after Achilles’ victory, he jerked off on top of her dead body.

There’s another persistent myth that’s worth examining, too.

The Legend of the Monoboob

Amazonians were expert archers, and they didn’t fuck around when it came to their training regimes. Apparently, that commitment extended to lopping off their right breast. The explanation usually given is that this allowed them to hold their beloved bows closer to their chest, making firing them easier.

Wait, Seriously?

Actually, no, it’s bullshit. According to CNN, the myth can be traced back to 490 B.C., when a “patriotic Greek historian attempted to force a Greek meaning on the foreign word ‘Amazon.’” Because the word Amazon sounds a little like “without breast,” this guy concocted the notorious theory that continues to stick today.

Increasingly, in-depth books and excavated evidence are clearing up myths about the Amazons, who almost definitely weren’t the baby-killing lesbians that so many historians have dreamed they were. But these women were still feared fighters and ancient heroines, albeit with both boobs intact. — Jake Hall

Harry Potter Actress Banned from Convention Because She Has an OnlyFans

They magically made her disappear

She says it’s helped her pay her bills. A convention says they can’t have someone associated with “adult” content.

Actress Jessie Cave, who played Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter films, has an OnlyFans. The platform, she says, has been a godsend; while she previously wondered how she could pay her bills and make ends meet, she says that, thanks to OnlyFans, she was able to move herself and her family into a new house.

That said, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. In a recent post on her Substack, Cave revealed that she was barred from a Harry Potter convention because of her subscription service. According to her, she was told that the convention was a “family show,” and, therefore, they couldn’t have someone who was associated with an adult site.

The kicker? Cave’s OnlyFans isn’t even adult-themed. Instead, it’s just videos and photos of her playing with her hair.

How does that make someone enough money to buy a house? I don’t know; male desire is a strange thing. — Braden Bjella

COME AGAIN?

That’s Just Not Right

BLUE WOMAN GROUP

Twitter Bops Are Painting Themselves Blue

They’re literally blue in the face — and everywhere else

What is going on?

If you’ve noticed that your X/Twitter feed is full of painted women, you’re not alone. The trend was started by user Sadie (@dewkissedherbas), who, a few months ago, began posting thirst traps of herself painted blue from head to toe.

In one post, she shared how she does it, thanks to a “spray gun designed to paint cars.” Sadie said none of the “ones designed for makeup” cut it, as they lacked the power needed to “efficiently [sic] paint my whole body.”

The trend started as a way for Sadie to stand out among the thousands of X/Twitter bops who are vying for impressions on the platform. However, she may have started something big, as now yellow, pink and even purple women are starting to pop up in people’s feeds.

One X/Twitter bop, who used Photoshop to make herself blue (cheater!), received an offer from Sadie herself, who said, “I’m gonna need to make this happen for real.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m here for the blue women. — Peter Rapine

DEEP FREEZE

Why Do My Balls Shrink in the Cold?

Those shriveled winter balls are just trying to get cozy

It’s a universal fact that even the most impressive penises wither up and shrivel away in the cold. In fact, no less of a hallowed institution than the BBC reported on this frosty penile phenomenon with an article in 2018 about “winter penis,” sparked by a social media blizzard of posts about dick shrinkage.

Now, it’s time to address another, often-neglected question: What about the balls? Why do they also shrivel up when the temperature dips below freezing?

Snuggling Up

“Testicles do not ‘shrink’ in the cold,” explains Dr. Paul Turek, an L.A.-based urologist and founder of the Turek Clinic. “Instead, they’re drawn up closer to the body by the muscular scrotum to keep their temperatures three degrees cooler than the rest of the body.”

Balls are basically responsible for two main tasks: 1) producing and secreting sex hormones, like testosterone; and 2) generating sperm. To do so, testes need temperature-control. That’s where the scrotum comes in. The saggy, fleshy sack is basically in-house climate control; by dangling, it keeps the testes away from the warm body, creating the optimum cool temperature for the production of good ol’ baby batter.

In the colder months, that temperature control looks a little different. “When the ambient temperature is cold,” explains Turek, “the testicles find heat by snuggling up closer to the body. It’s a normal, precise and constant self-regulating process, and it keeps the testicles healthy and happy.”

They might not look impressive, but those tiny-looking winter balls are the testicular equivalent of a cozy scarf, a way to keep the internal jizz factory chugging along. — Jake Hall
