This morning I was trying to think of a word we could use to counter the term 'pornography'.  For some reason, "Nudography" just does not convey the meaning I am thinking of, and it also appears to have been used VERY MUCH already.  So, I was thinking of the term Idealist, as that is what we are when it comes to simply living nakedly, and from there I took 'Ideali-' and tagged '-ography' onto the end.  Perhaps it should be written, "Idealigraphy" -- which is a bit easier on the tongue.

"Idealiography" = Only 16 occurrences online.
"Idealigraphy" = No occurrences online.

Perhaps "Nudigraphy" = No, totally overused at 511,000 hits via Google.

    It reminds me of the word "Dyslexia" for a people who can't spell. Not a lot of use. Surely a &*^%ography is a study of &*^%, is it not? So Pornography is a study of Porn, Demography is a study of Demo (people), Geography a study of Geo (the earth), Photography a study of Photo (light) and so on. Some sex starved individuals study porn but nobodystudiesnudists (except in lifedrawing and lifesculpture). Nudism is more a way of life than an object to be studied. Do we need to wrap up such an open and natural thing as nudity. Come to think of it, the word "naked" is often used to refere to open-ness, honesty and transparency (as it "The Naked Chef"). We can be naked in mind and spirit even when we are wearing clothes. Just a thought.
