Code of Ethics

The Buckeye Naturists believe the unclothed human body is  natural, wholesome and worthy of celebration, that any body shape, color, or size is equally acceptable, and that nude bodies in the context of nudist activities should not be viewed in a sexual way.

We emphasize self-acceptance, the acceptance of others on an equal basis, and the freedom to enjoy nude activities in a protected environment.

We want all of our members and guests to enjoy themselves and to want to return. Welcome participants in our club events will not engage in behavior that would cause others to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.

Such behavior could include language or actions, possession of a camera without prior permission by The Buckeye Naturists and all those photographed, or being too "friendly" in a way that causes others to feel defensive.

We are proud of our record of making new visitors welcome and we are particularly protective of people who are visiting our club for the first time. We do not want anyone's  attitude or behavior to make our new guests' visit anything less than a comfortable, enjoyable experience.

Code of Conduct

The use of drugs, narcotics and illegal substances is strictly prohibited at any TBN sanctioned function.

The use of alcohol at club events is not permtted at the Westerville JC Pool. Smoking outdoors will be permitted by special arrangements. Contact the pool manager.

Abusive language, rude, or crude behavior, overtly sexual behavior, or advances of an unwelcome or unwanted nature will not be tolerated.

This is a non-sexual, family-oriented organization. Public affection and/or touching among members is permissible only to the extent that it would be acceptable in a public, fully clothed, family-oriented forum.

For sanitary reasons and as a courtesy, please bring and use a towel to sit on at all nude club functions.

Minors may only attend our nude events when they are accompanied by or with written, notarized permission from a parent or legal guardian. When the written permission option is used, the minor must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Children's behavior and care is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

While nudist publications and literature are available and their perusal is encouraged, pornographic or sexually explicit material and literature is not permitted at TBN functions.
