Nudism

This site is not primarily about nudism, but I thought that I'd post about it since the title does contain the word "naked". Most Americans are prudes. They are shocked by any view of the naked body and equate nudism with sex. It is considered evil and obscene. In some places merely sun bathing nude in your own backyard can get you arrested and labeled a sex offender. Meanwhile nudists simply choose their lifestyle for relaxation, stress relief, positive body image, and increasing self-esteem. Self-esteem is enhanced in the nudist world, where body acceptance is the norm. A one day respite spent clothes-free seems to relax people more than an entire weekend elsewhere. Without clothes, stress seems to melt away as they enjoy the comfort of the freedom from clothes. Why this is bad is beyond me.
