Have you ever wondered what it's like to be completely naked in public? This episode of Love's Naked Truth dives headfirst into the world of naturism, sparking conversation and challenging societal norms.  Co-host Michael Snell, newly recovered from substance abuse, explores his curiosity about nudist resorts and communities.  We delve into legalities, social norms, and the surprising reasons people choose to embrace public nudity. From naked bike rides in Portland raising awareness for cyclists to the world's largest naturist village in France, this episode unpacks the concept of naturism, a philosophy of being one with nature, separate from sexuality.  Will Michael ever take the plunge and visit a nudist colony? Tune in to find out!

What we talked about:

  • Nudist Resorts: Michael ponders the idea of visiting a nudist resort, sparking a conversation about these clothing-optional destinations and their rules.
  • Naked Bike Rides: The episode explores the unique form of protest where cyclists ride naked to raise awareness about safety and visibility on the roads.
  • Naturism Philosophy: The philosophy of naturism, where nudity is a way to connect with nature, not a sexual act. Nudist communities often welcome families and children.
  • Legality of Public Nudity: The legalities of public nudity vary by location. The show discusses how some places have designated areas where nudity is legal, while others have stricter laws.
  • Naked Protests: Nudity can also be a form of protest, with participants using their bodies as canvases for messages to gain attention.
  • Concerns and Oddities: Concerns some people have about public nudity, like accidental erections, and explores how naturists navigate these situations.
