Exposure as Liberation

Some people might die of embarrassment, shrink in humiliation, or feel violated by the exposure of their bodies. DF and I don’t have that anymore. The hesitation so many feel when disrobing, with its connotation of striptease, is buried under healthy natural behaviors and practices. What was uncomfortable is now simply what it is, removing clothing.

We have never been perceived as “perfect” specimens, that social notion of what is truly beautiful. It is much more than that, that makes a person pleasing. No body has it all without the person, movement, sense of comfort exuded, sense of energy, the soul given in actions, bonding and liking. There are billions of human attractions.

So, in an environment that is accepting, it is easy to disrobe and be with friends, meet new people, interact and be seen nude. When in a party atmosphere, if there are some nude and others not and there is no dress code, some may be in the pool, or milling around a potluck table, the drinks cooler, or a set of chairs, the living room, or outside, and of course the kitchen crowd. Milling about nude in such a setting is very liberating.

Nudity can be fluid, yet many would feel it inappropriate, out of place, or naked amongst the common clothed in each instance. The above mentioned human beauty and nature, the warmth, should transcend the setting. If people are truly appreciating each other and not wrapping up each other in packages, boxes, or herding each other into manipulating games, nudity is comfortable. There is more than one way of dressing the part, or to express festive intent and pleasures. Most occasions are not white tie and nude can fit in.

How many people have experienced the comfort of interacting as themselves? Of course this varies, as we are more than what we hide, yet how many times have we had an experience with no strings, or threads attached? There IS certainly a difference in being oneself when interacting nude with others. There is a liberation in the stripped down model of social interaction.

Once it is out there and the exposure of one’s body is over, all of the uncomfortable socially ingrained insecurities tend to disappear. When one gets socially nude, it isn’t long before sexual connotations dissipate and become unremarkable, or passing.

Similarly, we have both found that pictures of our naked selves recorded publicly are no longer of consequence. It is done, it is out there, there is nothing to hide and nothing to lose. Those previously mentioned insecurities are pretty much gone. We feel more authentic and less restricted. It feels very good. We are more comfortable in our skin. That is liberation.
