Early this year I finally got the knack of sleeping nude. I have also discovered how much I like the feeling of not wearing clothes. Inside the house, anyway. Our region has very high summer heat and humidity, with the temperature feeling like 100+ in July, August, and September. I had to be out in the heat Saturday for a 4 hour class, and at the end of the class everyone was dealing with sweat-soaked clothes. Very uncomfortable, and I have a history of heat-related illness. So, if I get to try being outdoors without clothes, will my body have a harder time keeping cool because of more skin in the heat, or an easier time keeping cool because my body’s cooling system does not have to work through the air trapped in clothes?

I’ve wanted to try the nudist lifestyle for a while, and am “getting up the nerve” to plan my first experience. One thing I’m concerned about is how becoming so comfortable to be naked with the opposite sex (I’m a male) in a non-sexual way will affect my libido in the bedroom. In other words, can nudism desensitize someone from becoming sexually aroused (in the bedroom)? I know the naked body isn’t the only way to become sexually aroused, but it IS a significant part of a couple’s intimacy. For you married and committed couples out there, how has being nudists affected your sex life?

dose being nude have health benefits for your skin and body ?

will being nude in public boost your confidence in both a nude and clothed seting?

A friend of mine just committed suicide because he was depressed. I wonder if things would have been different if he learned of nudism before making the decision to end his own life. Does nudism help amend social disorders or other forms of depression?
