Yesterday was the 4th of July and it was in the mid eighties and about ninety percent humidity. We had guests, our family, and they aren’t nudists.
Why can’t everyone be down with nudity?
I sat there for a good part of the day in shorts and t-shirt. I was sweating and uncomfortable. I suppose that to someone not a nudist, would just think it was hot. Not me!
I was thinking, “Why can’t I just get naked and everyone would be fine with it?”
It seems so silly to me. Everyone knows what bits are under those clothes. Whenever I ask friends why they wouldn’t go with us to our local nudist park, the answers always float around the fact that they don’t have the perfect body. So the hell what?
Perhaps full time athletes have something resembling a perfect body, but for the rest of us mortals, we have roles, dimples, sags, and maybe even deformities. Nudists/naturists understand that these things don’t matter. Go to any nudist club and you will see all those things in abundance. You learn to accept people for who they are, not what they are.
Last week we were at our club and a woman was sitting on the steps of the pool talking to people. After a while, it was time for her and her husband to go. He helped her to stand, which seemed to be something of an ordeal, dried her off, yes most all of her bits, and then helped her into her wheel chair. My only thought was extreme pride in her for being so bold to not care about her problems, her handicap and being nude. Many clothed people wouldn’t have had the nerve to do it in a bathing suit!
Anyway, I digress. So would it have warped my family to see me naked? No, I don’t think so. Would they have been shocked for a minute or two? Yeah, probably. I know I would have been a damn sight more comfortable!
