/r/normalnudes
Normal Nudes is a space for people to submit their own nude photos to contribute to a library of what normal, every day human bodies look like. This is to expose people to the reality and variety of the human body, leading us to the lesson that we should strive to love our bodies for what they are, and understand there are MANY healthy body types that are beautiful that don't necessarily conform to the standards we might see in magazines or on television.
Normal Nude Definition:
The "normal" in normal nudes does not mean "average". It means normal nudity in the sense of what we all normally see in the mirror at home. Not posed sexually, not photoshopped, no tricks to look better. The term has no reference to the persons attractiveness, so treat our submitters with respect regardless of their looks, good or bad!
Our sub is a place for us to share our bodies, flaws and all, to affect other peoples opinions of themselves. We're primarily a 'body gallery' of different body types so we can see how they look, and take a peek into the minds of the people who own them. The peripheral purpose is the positive comments that could help everyone understand that we're all attractive to someone.
I hope that posters understand that, while it does also serve to boost their personal confidence, their example and the responses they get will have an impact on other people who aren't comfortable with posting. The stories that we share here about our insecurities, our life experiences, and our successes will help people relate and encourage others in their own journeys.
This is for changing how people view themselves, not 'showing off' our bodies. It's spreading the ideology that we are all beautiful in our own ways, and you don't have to be a supermodel to feel attractive!
Also, I just want to clear up a common misconception about this community. We are not a sub that promotes being unhealthy, we're just a gallery. Don't assume that because we don't allow rude comments, we're somehow enabling or promoting unhealthy lifestyle. This is just an educational place, just like the museum. You don't go to an art gallery and bitch about Venus being heavy. So please, understand the context of this place before deciding this is an echo chamber of positive comments.

I’ve been feeling very self conscious about my body lately and I hope to eventually feel better.
Was bored and thought I’d make a post to get some of your opinions. Been feeling good about myself lately and wanted to get some opinions
Felt like posting once again! I would love to hear some opinions. I like my body but i am looking for gaining bit more muscle. Have a great day and feel free to hmu!
Lost approximately 25# from exercising in about a year, I look maybe too thin now, thinking of lifting weights now. Not sure how females feel about thin.
Finally I can see my chest growing. Think I want to work on my legs a little bit more to get them looking massive
