I find it funny that some people think its completely natural to be naked and some people just think it's weird. I think this may have to do with some nature vs nurture explanation. Do people feel that being naked is natural because that's how they were raised? If so then how do you explain ultra-conservative families that have a relative that turns out to be a nudist? I was reading a dear Abby column and it talked about a neighbor that notices that the 16 year old boy wakes up at 6:45 am every morning and goes to the kitchen, eats a bowl of cereal, and watches sports center. The family from her knowledge doesn't participate in nude recreation, but doesn't mind that their son walks around the house naked, and she was asking Abby if this was "normal behavior," which makes me wonder if the boy grew up in typical American culture then what compels him to think that nude recreation is normal for him? Are people just born a certain way and we can't change them? If so, then I think we should all learn the word tolerance. My goals in being an advocate in the preservation of nude recreation is finding people that think like me; that being naked is perceived as natural and it doesn't have to be this 24/7 state of sexual tension. What I do not want to do is become some door to door pamphlet guy trying to sell "crazy" because sometimes it's just not some ones "thing," for example, I really don't care for sports. You can take me to games, show me the rules, even play the games with me, but at the end of the day I still won't have a favorite team and I still won't care about playoffs or superbowls. It's just not my thing, I mean we can educate people about nude recreation then give them the choice if they want to do it or not. I just want people to empathize with me when I can say how normal it is for me to be nude.
