Share your stories with the world -- Do you work nude? How has nudism healed you?

Hi all, Im a writer working on a few articles related to nudism, and Im hoping I can find people here willing to share stories and thoughts about nudism/naturism. This forum is such a great space and I was pleased to discover it!

A little about me: as my username suggests, I love nude bathing. Im very lucky to live in Portland, Oregon, where we have two wonderful clothing-optional swimming areas, and throughout Oregon we have several clothing-optional hot springs on public lands. I teach writing at a local community college, and I love being outside, either nude or clothed, spending time in nature.

Im looking to write stories that go beyond the often superficial, provocative articles about nudism in much of the mainstream media. Finding people willing to share their stories will help me to do that.

The initial piece Im working on comes out of a recent survey finding that over 10% of people working remotely are nude during some of their workday. If you are somebody who is newly able to be nude at work because covid has you working from home, I would love to hear from you. I would also especially like to hear from people whove been lucky enough to be working nude since before the pandemic.

After this story, Im hoping to write pieces that go deeper into the heart of nudism and what makes it so important and appealing. I really want to hear from people who have direct experience and thoughts on nudism and its power to heal. Has nudism helped you to overcome body image issues? Has it helped in overcoming trauma? Has it helped you in other areas of mental and/or physical health? Does nudism play a role in your spirituality? And if you have any story to share about the role of nudism in your life, it doesnt need to fit with the above questions.

Im looking for all stories and thoughts -- it would be wonderful to get a good thread going here. Also, its helpful for me to get sources who are willing to share their real name and to give me exclusive comments. If youre willing to share your name, or share anonymous, exclusive comments, please message me.

Thanks for reading,
George
