Nudist Website Controversies

Running a nudist website can be a tricky deal. There are some pitfalls to avoid for your best chance of success.

Anti-Nudism
If you are out in the open and public about it, people may discriminate against you just because you are a nudist, which is why many nudists publish their blogs somewhat anonymously. They are probably doing nothing wrong, yet the mainstream always persecutes minority groups even whehn they're doing nothing wrong. Society just looks for new groups to hate on when previous target groups attain politically-correct status.

Photography - Adults
There are a couple concerns here. One is that images you are using are of people that don't want their nude photo published. Be careful, and seek confirmation that a given image is okay to use. This will keep you more legally safe and it's the right thing to do, regardless.

Photography - Minors and Children
Why risk legal issues or public backlash? Sure it may be innocent enough when a minor is captured along with adults in a nudist resort or beach setting, but I think nudist sites can provide plenty of imagery and quality without going into such a dangerous zone. Just don't include anyone under 18 in images. Be smart and be legally safe.

Webhost policy
Check into the policies of you website's hosting company before building your website there. Many web hosts consider nudist sites to be adult sites and no, you probably can't persuade them otherwise. So for owning your own domain, your best bet is to find a webhost that has no policy against adult sites or host on an adult webhosting server. If you have a simple blog site, many blog hosts, like Blogger, appear to allow nudist sites, but always make backups, just in case your site is ever inactivated.

Whatever the angle or level of your nudist website, be smart, be safe, be considerate and be responsible, and your chances of success increase.
