Somewhere along the line being naked in a social setting became a dirty act. At the gym I see many men around my age doing everything they can to avoid public nudity, simply because they don’t want to look stupid. The other day, I saw an individual who went to take a shower, he walked there in his undies, then when it came time to take them off, he took them off, but quickly covered his genitals and ran into the shower. The funny part about the whole situation was how stupid he looked just so he could avoid people seeing him naked. That event made me think of all the times I’ve seen something happen like that in the gym locker room and the people involved where always around my age. My generation has been abused by media ads of what being “hot” is, they think that they aren’t pretty enough to be fit in a social nude situation. Does this sound like you? What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word Nudist or Naturist? Is it “I don’t look hot naked,” and my response to that is, without the help of air brushing who does? Haven’t you lived in the textile world long enough? keep reading the site and see what naturism is all about.
