- Refrain from using obscene or offensive language. must be avoided. Approach and address individuals or the person using bad language.
- Racism, sexism OR homophobia will not be tolerated.
- Don’t make rude comments about anyone.
- No sexual and or erotic behaviour and or content. Speak up for standards. Don’t let people who doesn’t understand the naturist culture or our values cause trouble. Do not turn a blind eye, go talk politely but firmly to the individuals in the illicit activity.
Refrain from any kind of inappropriate behaviour, e.g., dancing in a provocative manner, sitting on someone’s genitals, swapping saliva or touching genitals. Swaying of the hips is allowed, but pole dancing wouldn’t be if you get our point. - No photographs whatsoever, unless you have cleared it with each and every single person in the shot. Please don’t try and persuade anyone. Their first no is their final answer. People have every right to their privacy and whether or not they wish themselves or their family to appear in a photograph. All photos need to be inspected by all people appearing in the photo immediately after the photo was taken.
- Don’t stare; it is very rude whether you have clothes on or not.
- Always have a towel on hand and make sure you sit on your own towel, not anyone else’s. This is for hygiene reasons such as protecting yourself and others from sun tan oil, sweat etc.
- We embrace harmonious environments where everyone have equal enjoyment. Aggressive and violent behaviour must be left outside the environment. Be conscientious and practice trusting relations with all in the environment.
- Your partner or friend you brought with you is your responsibility only. Ensure your friends and or family is well informed regarding the WCNA code of conduct BEFORE attending an event. If your guests misbehave, you will be requested to intervene with your friend or family and they may be requested to depart from the event.
- Cover up any unpredictable erections. We know they sometimes happen beyond your control, a simple towel covering it up
- or lying on your front, and no-one will know.
- Don’t litter. “Leave no trace”. The only things you should leave behind are your footprints. In fact, leave the environment cleaner than you found it. Parents are responsible for their children where this is concerned. Bring a garbage bag when venturing public places.
- Children sometimes like to let off steam and this is no bad thing at all, but children should be supervised by adults so that they don’t cause problems for others.
- Binoculars are normally unwelcome in naturist environments.
- Don’t go naked where nakedness isn’t allowed.
- Naturist resorts and/or naturist friendly beaches are peaceful places. Be considerate and refrain from playing loud music or radios. Use earphones if possible, and if asked to ‘turn it down, do so willingly. Respect other people’s presence.
- Privacy is fundamental. Many are at a resort/beach for a quiet time. Body language should tell you they don’t want to be disturbed. It’s not wrong to look for new friends – but it is rude to intrude when you’re unwelcome.
- Always come prepared. Bring supplies: beverage, food, sunscreen, towel or your own cigarettes, braai meat if at a braai. Mooching is not a cool way to make friends.
