Embracing the Bare Essentials – The World of Ted Bun’s Naturist Fiction

By
Hello everyone. Imagine a world where people live freely, unburdened by societal norms, where characters embrace life in its most natural state. This is the world crafted by Ted Bun, a British author whose unique storytelling invites us to rethink freedom, community, and human connection through the lens of naturist fiction. Today, I want to take you on a journey through Ted Bun’s work, exploring how his stories challenge conventions and celebrate the joy of living authentically. Ted Bun, born in London in 1956, didn’t set out to be a traditional author. A self-described “storyteller,” he stumbled into writing during the quiet evenings at L’Olivette, his naturist retreat in the South of France. After a varied career—from RAF officer to managing a naturist resort in Portugal—Bun found inspiration in the lifestyle he and his wife, Mrs. Bun, embraced. His debut novella, The Uncovered Policeman, published on Valentine’s Day 2016, launched the Rags to Riches series, a cornerstone of his bib...

Sunlit Resilience: Ethan and Lila’s Pandemic Years in Puducherry

By
When the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the globe in 2020, Ethan and Lila, with ten-year-old Maya, were still in Puducherry, living in their bungalow by the Andaman Sea. The lockdown, stretching through 2020 and into 2021, brought unprecedented challenges, forcing them to adapt their naturist lifestyle to strict regulations and social restrictions. Confined to their home, they faced isolation, economic uncertainty, and the loss of physical community, but their resilience, love, and creativity kept their spirits high. Through virtual connections and reimagined routines, they not only survived but deepened their bonds with each other, Maya, and their global naturist community.

By
In 2017, after navigating the cultural complexities of the Middle East, Ethan and Lila returned to India, settling in a small, airy home on the edge of the Andaman Sea near Puducherry.

Sunlit Sails: Ethan and Lila’s European Naturist Adventure

By
In the summer of 2016, while living in Dubai, Ethan and Lila, craving a break from the Middle East’s constraints, embarked on a 21-day European vacation with six-year-old Maya. The centerpiece was a week-long naturist cruise in the Mediterranean, bookended by three days in Athens, three in Rome, and a seven-day tour of Northern Italy. The trip was a vibrant plunge into Europe’s open-minded naturist culture, filled with sunlit freedom, cultural immersion, and joyful challenges.

Sunlit Journeys: Ethan and Lila’s Odyssey in Kerala and the Middle East

By
  In 2013, Ethan and Lila left Goa’s sunlit shores for Kerala, where Ethan’s new role as an environmental consultant awaited. Their bungalow in Thiruvananthapuram, nestled amid banana groves, became their new home. With toddler Maya in tow, they sought to weave naturism into their lives despite Kerala’s conservative leanings. The beaches here, like Kovalam, were busier, less secluded than Querim. They found a private cove near Varkala, reachable only by a winding cliff path. Early mornings, they’d slip away, shedding clothes to swim in the warm Arabian Sea. The freedom felt familiar, but the cultural backdrop was stricter. Locals occasionally stared, and once, a fisherman gestured disapproval. Ethan and Lila learned to time their visits carefully, respecting the community’s norms while cherishing their quiet rebellion. Their naturist gatherings shifted indoors, confined to their courtyard, now screened by bamboo and hibiscus. They hosted small, discreet events, inviting a few like-...
