Why arent more of us naked?

When you think of being naked what do you imagine?

Flabby bits of skin flapping as you step. Wrinkly body parts jumping out at you like a nightmare scene from a Tarrantino blockbuster. Unwanted erections of nipples and penis.

Not the most glamourous of sketches I'm creating here, hey?

The vast majority of human beings decide, from pretty young age, that they will cover up their body with clothes - sometimes worth more than their house or car. As a c***d it is drummed into us that clothes must be worn at all times. That our privates are exactly that, private. Yet, there are a few - maybe more than this writer knows - of us who decide to ditch the Gucchi and the Primark and the D&G and go for a much more natural approach.

The Nudists.

Wouldn't it be great to wake up in the morning and not have to think what you are going to wear to work? Wouldn't it be a breeze deciding what you was going to wear to that all important job interview if there was no choice at all? Wouldn't the prospect of getting the outfit right for a first date be defeated if, in fact, clothes were never invented at all?

Almost every day you hear of "primal" humans doing "feral" things. Assaults, murders, theft. We seem to accept that these things will happen in life - "That's just how life is." We accept, to a certain level, that we will stumble across the drunk or the unstable. The ones we know are more beefcake than brains. Those who we assume are licking the floor for scraps of food and spearing whooly mammal whilst are backs are turned. But we never assume that three doors down from your home, or in the same block of apartments that Mike or Janet or little old Doris are walking around there home wearing nothing but their birthday suits.

Why is that? Society! Media! I hear you cry.

A society that accepts murders will happen - frowns upon it but gets on with its day like a busybody. A media that glamourous sexy behaviour but frowns upon the majority of humans from being sexy in their most natural state.

I also hear you shout necessatity due to lack of thermal heating. Yes, clothes do keep our ridiculously unwarm bodies from freezing us to death but isn't nudism about more than this?

Shouldn't we accept that some people would rather go to work naked? That some people would rather walk the dog in the park with their tallywhacky hanging in the spring breeze? Should we not accept that Gladys wants to hang her washing out on the line naked - granted, she probably wouldn't have much washing to hang.

But we don't. We giggle at the thought like little schoolgirls at their first sex ed class or little Jimmy who has stuck a pencil up his nose to impress the bigger boys.

Society and the media dont want us to be free. They want to restrict our freedoms.

Lets take a stand... Lets strip off and take to the streets with our bare-billy-bollocks!

One step at a time, hey?

Perhaps tomorrow I won't wear my hat...
