Why is nudity so overrated? Ideas? What I mean is, some people like being nude. Not exhibitionists just people that like to have the freedom to move about sans clothing. Let's face it, we only started wearing clothing as a means to protect ourselves from the elements. Our bodies regulate their temperature much better when nude. Less health issues on the skin from letting things air out so to speak. There are lots of benefits of a nude or mostly nude lifestyle.
As a society in America, we seem to be freaked out by nudity or even scantily clad individuals. Why I ask. Each one of us is either a male or a female at birth. So we are completely aware of what we look like. Once we have seen just one of the opposite sex, we've seen everything that "we" are naturally or can be augmented into. So what's the big deal?
I have personally been a member of a clothing optional resort. It was a wonderful experience. If I still lived in that locale I would still be a member. The resort had lots of activities, restaurant, night club, lagoon, pools and jacuzzis. As well as several holiday and weekend events throughout the year. It exists just like any other community only without issues of nudity.
Social life at the resort was quite enjoyable. No not like that, conversations were very real and enjoyable with all visitors and residents. I always attributed the great conversations to the fact that these are all people that are comfortable in their own skin. No clothing to impress others, generally no makeup either, just "skin wins" mentality. Not here to be seen, but “don't care if I am” makes for a very relaxed atmosphere.
So what is it that drives our society to hide their skin. It started as protection from the elements, however there are several times and places where the environment is temperate.
People should be allowed to free their skin. I'm not talking about at school, church, or any place that would shove nudity in the faces of those that will be truly offended. Places like home yard, at the beach or poolside, driving down the freeway in a car, etc. I’m sure you get the picture.
It seems that if we didn’t make such a big deal about being clothed all of the time, there would be no mystery that leads us into temptation so to speak. So that relationships could focus on what is truly important. The qualities that should be identified first in the relationship. Nudity isn’t an indicator or morality good or bad. Quite the opposite I believe. Nothing to hide? What better way to show the world than without clothing......
Nonetheless, the world may not be ready now or anytime in the future for mass nudity in the populous. However, it would be interesting to see the effects long term on a society.
