I like people being nude . And not just in the obvious way, you pervs.
There are two very different kinds of naked, and can have very similar responses.
1/Physical.
2/Psychological.
I'll dispense now with the physical aspect (sorry, you'll just have to make the best of it, with the photo) .
Lets focus on the much more intimate, and far more interesting, one...The psychological.
What exactly is psychological nudity?
It's what you feel, when you feel that people can see inside your head....
It can be by choice or can be forced , and both can be pretty intense experiences - and not always a comfortable one.
How that experience is handled is down to the maturity of the newly naked, exposed, mind.
Some withdraw instinctively, hiding their nudity with defense mechanisms with the sole intention to dress themselves as fast as possible. (and normally making a total hash of it, doing so.... the need to cover themselves is paramount.)
A stressful experience.
Not pleasant.
Others find a calm 'oneness' with the self - one that only being truly naked in front of others can bring.
The relief of finally being allowed to be honest.
Being naked is a big opportunity.
For some.
'You make me honest', can either be a warm compliment - or a defensive, silent scream
To the person who enjoys seeing people naked, (like me) the former is always the preferred response, obviously - but the choice of is not for me to make.
Fear of psychological nudity is fear of the self not the observer.
It leaves you exposed , you see - with all your carefully built up defenses - sometimes in years of making - stripped away.
The fear of not being approved of - for jut being who you are.
Fear can make the nicest people, horrible - and the most naturally gentle people, hostile.
Fear can make the generous, miserly - and the most helpful , selfish.
Fear is cancer of the soul and it begins growing , nestled deep within the ego.
Whether you take your nudity as an opportunity in life - or as a threat to your facade , is a personal choice.
Remember though - once you have been seen naked, you can't ever be unseen.
It doesn't work like that.
Anyone - everyone - who's ever been seen naked, for that first time, with another person (in the physical sense) knows this.
Nudity can't ever be 'undone'.
If its ever talked about again, or not- doesn't make not a jot of difference.
Polite conversations can pretend the nudity never happened, and was never seen - but that's lie.
And everyone knows that's a lie.
Fear can keep the silence - and the pretense, going - but it can't ever prevent the knowing... the reality of it - is the fact.
Opportunities when they come along - are a double edged sword.
Whether you take the opportunities that come your way - or not, you're still gonna feel some pain - one way or another.
Personal courage is the quality that's brought into question of course - at times like this - and only one person can ever answer the call.
And with that, my friends.....I'm moving on....
