The list would include sexuality, self-consciousness, embarrassment, body dysmorphia, shame, guilt, anxiety, fear, insecurity, and vulnerability. Most non-naturists won&#8217;t experience each of these things when naked, at least not at the same time. But they&#8217;re very likely to experience some of them.<\/p>\n<p>The contrast with the thoughts and feelings of naturists when they&#8217;re naked could hardly be larger. That list would include freedom, openness, self-confidence, exhilaration, euphoria, and self-actualization. Again, most naturists won&#8217;t usually experience all these things at the same time. Indeed, a large part of the time many naturists will hardly even be thinking about the fact they&#8217;re naked. Yet the positive emotions will still be there and contribute to a distinct feeling of happiness, contentment, and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, non-naturists do have many opportunities to experience these positive emotions. But all the same opportunities are also available to naturists if they&#8217;re willing to accept the inconvenience of wearing clothes when nudity isn&#8217;t possible. Fortunately, there are many places where nudity is possible &#8211; in a naturist&#8217;s own home and the homes of other naturists, as well as the homes of open-minded friends and relatives. And also in naturist resorts, naturist-friendly B&#038;Bs, clothing-optional beaches, and many locations in the natural world.<\/p>\n<p>In short, naturists can enjoy all the positive experiences available to non-naturists. But they are also able to enjoy positive experiences that are either significantly enhanced or only possible by being naked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s first consider the thoughts and feelings non-naturists have when they&#8217;re naked around others.
