The Naturist Society (TNS) is a national organization for North American naturism or nudism based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the U.S.A. It publishes a quarterlyperiodical called Nude and Natural which documents and coordinates naturist activities and provides information about issues related to naturism.
TNS organizes several annual gatherings in various regions of North America, such as The Western Naturist Gathering. The gatherings feature workshops and seminars on many topics, especially those that relate to body health and ongoing legal issues.
TNS also provides support for various Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for TNS members who wish to share hobbies or other interests with fellow naturists, such as the amateur radio SIG.

In patriarchal societies, it is often the men who most desire to cover the women, ostensibly to protect the women, but, according to the theory, it is more to keep a woman from developing relationships without the approval of her father or husband.
Although there is no well-defined date in Western society when it became unacceptable to be seen nude in public, the era of Queen Victoria certainly ended whatever remained of it, with nothing emerging until after her death in 1901.
In 1980 The NaturistSociety (TNS) was founded by Lee Baxandall as a successor to the Free Beach Movement.
