I Think Nudity Is Beautiful
Recently, on a nudist web site, the question behind a post was, “Should it be legal to be naked anywhere?” This is a nudism topic I have seen many times, but usually as somebody stating they would be nude all the time if it were legal.
An interesting idea; one that has crossed my mind many times. As a nudist for over 20 years, I have asked myself where I would go nude if it were legal everywhere (notwithstanding climate and temperature). Would I go food shopping or to restaurants? What about taking my car into being serviced? How about jury duty? (The one thing many would do nude is take a commercial flight; much easier to get through airport screening.)
After a few Martinis, here are my thoughts. How comfortable would I be as the only nude person in those situations? Unfortunately, a lot would depend on what other people were doing. Even being a confirmed nudist, there are limits to how I would react to these opportunities to be nude in public. But that is not only me. In New York State, women are legally allowed to be topless anywhere men can be topless. Yet, few women take advantage of that freedom, most likely due to social pressures to conform.
Finally, if legal, I would enjoy having the freedom to be nude around my own property; taking my dogs outside, getting the paper in the morning, washing my car, doing yard work, etc. Since I would be on my own property, I would feel comfortable nude there, regardless of how many other neighbors were nude outside their houses.
I have some experience being an early adapter in nudist situations, so I can see where being the first in the neighborhood to be nude outside would make others feel comfortable to do the same. There are many home nudists, and having somebody break the ice would be all it takes. Some folks are shy and just need a little positive role model and support. I can do that!
