Thanks Timothy for this very insightful essay. It recognizes and celebrates the fact that people get nude for many reasons, and that we should neither feel guilty about it nor judge others for their reasons. I also appreciated your analysis of how certain religious or political perspectives can create guilt about what we find joyful and/or cause it's followers to unfairly judge others for how they find joy. Also your discussion of the nudist vs naturist perspectives is one of the best I've seen. Brilliant!
"I promise you that nobody is thinking about naturism as much as naturists."
That's for sure. People think about themselves more than anything else. I'm willing to bet that 95+% of people NEVER think about naturism at all. EVER, even when they are looking right at a WNBR.
