Creepy? Which part? Being healthy, looking good, or having self-confidence?

I hadn’t though about the health factor in nudity. This certainly adds more reason to encourage and support these teens to roam naked, not repress them. It helps them learn to be comfortable with themselves and enjoy their bodies. Onlookers can enjoy their bodies too while they learn so everybody wins. I believe that healthy habits need to be instilled early and practiced often to ensure they stick. The teen years are so important for establishing healthy habits of the body.

Oh, and i forgot: Vitamin D has been shown to help prevent many cancers, including melanoma.

Did you know that the process of sunshine hitting the skin producing vitamin D is actually converting cholesterol into vitamin D? So you can add “helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels” to your list!

In the first part of the 20th century, men (like women) were required by law to wear tops. One hot summer the men said enough is enough and, en masse, began a little topless civil disobedience. Laws and social attitudes were adjusted.

If women as a whole want the same rights to go topless, they will have to work for them. In many places now it is already legal for women to be topless (e.g. NY, Oregon), but few ever exercise their rights. I suppose few women are aware of their rights, and of those, even fewer are willing to face the difficulties of being a pioneer and exercising their rights. Those who do will undoubtedly encounter push-back from the general public, and law enforcement personnel who may be ignorant (or simply intolerant) of the “liberal” nudity laws. Even mothers discretely nursing in public are hassled, and many more states specifically protect this in statute.

Nudity is on the increase and it has many advantages such as these below:

1. The body will be less prone to diseases if exposed to sunlight on the bare body as the skin will produce Vitamin D3 which is a miracle healer and heals most incurable diseases such as Asthma, Heart Disease, Eczema, impotency, Skin diseases, bladder and genital infections.

2. There will be less need for clothing and washing thereof which would help with reduction of carbon emissions and global warming.

3. People will have the opporunity of feeling free and one with God and Nature.

4. People who have never gone nude in public should try this in their backyard first and then comment as I have

Maybe since most of you are too unpleasing to the eye as it is with clothes on. Vermonters aren’t exactly the best looking crew. I lived there for seventeen years and have been to many states and none have the same weathered look as Vermonters. Well maybe Maine.

It is about time teens are comfortable and no lot ashamed of their bodies. Any nudist will tell you that there is no better way to ensure this than walking around naked. Interacting with people and having normal conversations while they are naked is brave and I support their right to do this and enjoy it any way they please. We all need to stop judging each other by our bodies and look each other in the eye and at what’s inside.

I came across this after seeing some more recent articles about public nudity. Trend seems to be growing. Good discussion so I wanted to chime in. I wouldn’t have said this when I was younger and uncomfortable about my body. Now that I am older I see it differently. It is a natural and healthy expression and should be shared and enjoyed while you have it. I think it is wonderful these teens are comfortable enough with themselves to undress as nature intended and allow others to enjoy their presence. If I had as beautiful a body as these teens when I was young and the confidence I have now, I would have gladly undressed like a flower and soaked in the sunshine of admiring eyes during my short presence here on earth. These teens are allowing themselves the joy and bringing joy and the pleasure of their beauty to others while they have it to give. Sex as also a beautiful and natural expression so it is sad that it too cannot be openly enjoyed in the same way by participants and nature lovers alike. Beautiful, healthy, young bodies in the act of natural sex in our gardens and parks would be a wonderful thing to see and enjoy.
