Welcome to Dare 2 Bare

The home of the clothing-optional community

"Furthermore, because God created it, the human body can remain nude and uncovered and preserve its splendour and its beauty."
— Pope John Paul II
"My impulse to appear naked and my dreams about it had no shame or sense of sin in them."
— Marilyn Monroe, from her memoir My Story

Be nude and be proud of the skin you are in

This site is for those people who are part of the clothing-optional community. Traditionally we would refer to the lifestyle as "Naturism" or "Nudism", however these terms have become somewhat dated and replaced by some newer members of our community by the simple term "naked person".

What is a naturist, nudist, or naked person? It may seem like the most obvious thing in the world, but it's not as clear cut as that. Public nudity is, in most countries, a grey area with very little known about the legal position of people who choose to practise non-sexual nudity.

That is the key aspect for this group — the fact that this is dedicated to people who embrace non-sexual nude lifestyles.

Why we built this app

Mainstream social media has a habit of labelling clothing-optional activities as obscene or pornographic, which often results in those of us who seek pure clothing-optional lifestyles being unable to share our experiences without unexpected or unwanted issues.

Due to this, Dare 2 Bare was developed — an app oriented specifically towards pure, non-sexual nudity. A dedicated, members-only space built so you can share your experiences freely, without the bans.
