British naturism has recorded a “huge rise” in membership applications.

The organisation reckons we are becoming “more comfortable in our own skin and shedding stuffy Victorian values”.

Spokesman Andrew Welch said: “We’re all human. What better way to escape the heatwave than cooling off without clothes on?

“We’ve seen our membership going up as people have appreciated what you can gain from naturism.

“We are not so buttoned up as we used to be. There’s a good chance that many of your readers indulge in it whether they are members of our organisation or not.”

There are 9,000 members of British Naturism who pay the £40 annual subscription.

Temperatures have passed 35C this summer with weather experts predicting we could be in store for a string of hot summers over the next few years.

Andrew added: “If it’s really hot you don’t want to be constricted by sticky clothes.

“No-one should worry about being judged.”
