 This is no surprise to many of us. Here is another positive fact for nudity and naturism in general.

Al, thanks for posting this!  Great article!

Great re-post!  Thank you so much.


I couldn't help but notice these two lines within the article:

Research at the University of Northern Iowa discovered that nudists have significantly higher body self-acceptance. Another study concluded that teens at a New York nudist camp were “extraordinarily well-adjusted, happy, and thoughtful.”

Please tell me that no one gave them research money to examine these matters.  It would be like funding a study to determine whether water was wet.

Although one comment made me chuckle. Clothing is an equalizer because we can hide our flaws. Hang on did I miss something or is the point not to notice flaws even if they are visable because everybody has them. The whole point is to accept people. Clearly something this person missed.

Danee, i hope you dont mind but i want to cite a little quote from one of our Chats: If everybody is naked,nobody is naked!

It's that simple! I never felt "awkward" among a bunch of naked people and i think that is how i should be for us naturists. Acceptance for ourselves and others !!!

Word of advice here... just dont strip to the buff at work and it won't feel awkward ...

unless you're working at a nude resort 

No, seriously i know what u mean just stop thinking about it. i guess you are naked at places where its legal so its either a nude beach (area) or at least a clothing optional area so if anyone decides for himself to stay dressed its his thing just as it's yours to be in the nude. Dont feel awkward because of it. It's all  just in your head and combined with some trained coventions that feeling really can be awkward. So here is the real advice ;) ... stop thinking about it, that will work at least it did for me ;)

excellent article

Really neat article and discussion. I think they make a lot of valid points, though I don't have the whole "Spartan" mindset about it. What they said about the tolerance makes a lot of sense, though I don't know if it would do much to help us live longer. Live happier, sure. But not necessarily longer. Especially with the higher rates of skin cancer. In my opinion, of course.
