The August 2024 issue of H&E is out now!

This month, we’re looking at the subject of first-time naturism, starting with Colin Wilson’s experiences of dealing with models on their debut nude photoshoot.

The Nude & Happy blogger provides a first-timer’s guide to naturist etiquette, and Rick Morley discovers how the lifestyle helped one woman regain her confidence after years of emotional abuse. Meanwhile, Helen Berriman meets another lady for whom going naked has helped her overcome sorrow and find a new lease of life.

Anna Woodings of A Naturist World reflects on some of her naturist ‘firsts’, and Dionysus Gratis looks at the Millennials’ perspective on naturism.

Simon Goss continues his life-drawing masterclass, and, in his bimonthly column, Nigel Newman of the Christian Naturist Fellowship asks: how open are you about your beliefs?

As usual at this time of year, we feature the World Naked Bike Ride, and seasoned participant Barry Freeman tells how it didn’t quite go to plan this time around…

Plus: Nick and Lins of Naked Wanderings on their naked bucket list, Secret Beaches visits Hawaii, Theresa O’Shea goes trekking in Andalusia, and photographer Erin Thul explains how she keeps her art and her life totally separate.
