A naturist is less stressed in lock down?
Return to DiscussionsI agree with your point.
But, as a naturist , I love to spend time with myself and am hardly bored if I am nude. I saw many of my non nudist friends got restless as their movements were restricted, but nudist friends said they got more time to stay naked.
What others say?
I didn't find lockdown any less stressful than usual. I did have more nude time as I worked at home. I did less laundry, more cooking! But I discovered that while being nude is a preference, it didn't adequately substitute for the contact that I enjoy when working or socializing with people in person. That applies to non-nude and nudist friends alike. It's been quite an experience, one I'm happy to "have had" as I venture out more in a vaccinated body.
early on in the lockdown i did spend more time home and if home i was nude. I broke my personal length of going without putting clothes on . 4 1/3 days. I am pretty easy going and normally deal with stress pretty well. But overall I have found this entire disruption of my normal life, stressful. Early on there was so little real interaction with others. Zoom meetings and texting do not replace human interaction. Fortunately many in my circle of friends lightened up fairly quickly and we resumed meeting in person far earlier than many people did. I have a part time job which allowed for working closely with others and things seemed normal at work. Not a mask in sight either.
One of my passions is travel which has been severely restricted and the international portion pretty well shut down. That missing from my life wether actually doing it or planning for it has been stressful. So overall less stress because of lack of clothes? not really a factor.
I did spend some good nude time alone during the lockdown like roaming nude, nude yoga, nude cooking , meditating ,teaching nude yoga virtually to a bunch of nudists, modelling nude for virtual artists and sleeping nude...I never got such opportunities before but I missed the interactions with people around me that I always crave for...Being a nudist is one thing but being in the company of people or other nudists would always be different.
