It does for me. I like the feeling of vulnerability that comes with it, I think? We have to put up a front and be normal for society *all the time,* and among other things nudity is a way out of that. So yes.
Desexualizing simple nudity was also key in overcoming some habits I wanted to kick.

heartofshady.bsky.social•257 days ago

I'm of the opinion that experiencing something will stop your mind from running wild with it, just like how the movie monster is always scarier in your head until you see it on screen.

jonmattjay.bsky.social•256 days ago

Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙏

baz-norman.bsky.social•122 days ago

Yes it does, but yes I do.

baz-norman.bsky.social•252 days ago

Both

I feel genuinely happier nude, but yes, definitely get nude because I can

bareitnz.bsky.social•260 days ago

It helps with destressing when it is warm enough. Certainly, in social situations it so more relaxing. So yes, on the first.

nudeinri.bsky.social•259 days ago

I absolutely think it improves mental health. I’ve got a lot of stress in my life but I feel completely relaxed after a day of social nudity. Being naked and not judged by others also improves body positivity. I always say it’s the best thing I ever did for my mental, physical and spiritual health!

jonmattjay.bsky.social•259 days ago

Absolutely 💯 there , no argument from me at all.

robt51.bsky.social•259 days ago

I think it helps with my mental health as I feel stress fall away when I’m nude, more so in nude company. I feel restricted wearing clothes and the relief when they come off is palpable. It’s does make me feel better why though. Also get naked just because I can lol

markonetom.bsky.social•260 days ago

Absolutely it helps 💯 I would go as far as to say it is essential for a balanced mind, just like a balance diet is essential for physical wellbeing.

jonmattjay.bsky.social•259 days ago

Love it 🕊️❤️🙏

bopbadger.bsky.social•260 days ago

Absolutely my wellbeing is improved by being naked. Even non-social time spent at home without clothes does wonders for my mental health. I identify as a naturist and spending time naked is an important part of who I am.

jonmattjay.bsky.social•259 days ago

It’s a considerable part of us and who we are and I believe being in the nude is good both emotionally, physically and spiritually for us. 🕊️❤️🙏

tedbun.bsky.social•259 days ago

The book which seeks to explain a lot of people's feelings on the subject is out on 4th July ...

gcsnudista.bsky.social•259 days ago

Great plug! 🙃

tedbun.bsky.social•259 days ago

We try .... See you very soon!

headheart.bsky.social•258 days ago

(4/4) Long story short, if I take long breaks from my workout routines or eat unhealthy for extended periods of time, well, then I start feeling shitty about my body and nudity can’t change that.

headheart.bsky.social•258 days ago

(3/4) align with my values. As for my body, while I do accept the things I can‘t change by now (again, social nudity did help with this), I‘m not satisfied with my looks whenever I don‘t take action to at least trying to slow the decay.

headheart.bsky.social•258 days ago

(2/4) …our clothes and nobody‘s perfect. Through social nudity you get to experience these truths of life in a unique way. However, beyond this, nudity doesn‘t keep making me feel better about myself (or my body). My self-worth in a broader sense results much more from my actions and how those…

headheart.bsky.social•258 days ago

(1/4) Yes, my mental health and wellbeing does benefit, mostly bc nudity helps to unwind and unplug from a sometimes stressful outer world. „Take a break, buddy!“

In the past, it also added to my self-image and feelings of self-worth. I got more relaxed about body images. We‘re all naked under …

jonmattjay.bsky.social•256 days ago

Thank you Adam 🙏

gcsnudista.bsky.social•260 days ago

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Not really, see previous two answers.

wishiwasnaked.bsky.social•89 days ago

My reasons for being nude:
-love the feeling of air on my skin
-hate the restrictive feeling of clothes
-cuts down on laundry!
-freedom of movement
-better sleep
-overall calming effects
Thank you for asking. Have a great day.

naturegirlcj.bsky.social•257 days ago

1. Yes if I need to de-stress sometimes but sometimes doing something that requires clothes like sports or going out w friends also de-stresses

2. Not really cos I don't typically think poorly of myself to begin with

3. I can and do but for comfortable or convenience, not just because

cpl2624.bsky.social•247 days ago

Yes, it definitely does give me a sense of belonging in my skin. I’m fairly strong mentally, having been to boarding school, you had no choice but to toughen up. However that in itself brings a whole load of issues,

nudepaddler.bsky.social•259 days ago

For me being naked is very relaxing and therefore definitely helps to destress the mind and body. I get naked whenever it’s warm enough and appropriate to do so. I like to find places to be naked outside like at the beach or in the company of other nudists.

randlefranklin.bsky.social•247 days ago

I love being nude it helps with both my mental health and my confidence

scotthanz.bsky.social•259 days ago

It reduces stress,makes chores more tolerable and helps deal with the south Texas heat.

phil-thebeachbum.bsky.social•259 days ago

To us it’s just more practical, comfortable and relaxing. Yes, I do feel more grounded laying on a beach with nothing on, but I wouldn’t say my mental health has changed for being a naturist. It’s just more sensual & practical.

jonmattjay.bsky.social•259 days ago

Thank you for your answer- there is no right/wrong I was just interested in ppls thoughts but def agree that being in the nude is extremely practical! Eg washing the dogs, repainting the spare room etc. 🕊️❤️🙏

nakedinthegarage.bsky.social•257 days ago

Being nude makes me happy. I feel like I'm being my self and not wearing a costume.

shorehamgent.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yes and Yes Never felt better about myself than now.

rastus.bsky.social•256 days ago

When we went to our first nude resort I thought that I had found my family my crew.
I still have life long friends from that first week.
Naked, drunk, sport and sunshine. What could go wrong.

nakedmeadow.bsky.social•260 days ago

I echo the existing answers. Absolutely, it’s good for my mental health. It’s a form of mindfulness in that my body via my skin is more aware of it’s surroundings. Also, I feel better about me because I am
more calm and know I am accepted as me.

jonmattjay.bsky.social•259 days ago

I really like meditating nude on the back deck 🧘🙏

nakedmeadow.bsky.social•259 days ago

I like a quiet slow amble in the woods here. Just taking in the view of how the woodland looks, how the trees are growing. Definitely calming.

greyfriarsisle.bsky.social•257 days ago

Yes, yes and I don't understand the question.

jonmattjay.bsky.social•256 days ago

Which one sorry 🤷‍♀️

gcsnudista.bsky.social•256 days ago

I guess the third one, since the first two were answered "yes".

deweytoo.bsky.social•258 days ago

I’ve been a nudist for so long that I don’t think about this very much, but I’m certain that it would be horrible if I had to wear clothes any more than I do.

deweytoo.bsky.social•260 days ago

I’m old, overweight, and not as good looking at 77 years old as I once was, but I’ve been a nudist since my 20s and it’s very clear that it just doesn’t matter.

jonmattjay.bsky.social•259 days ago

TY for your insight 🕊️❤️🙏

boondocking.us•260 days ago

Simple answer to complex query... yes. Absolutely.

jonmattjay.bsky.social•259 days ago

No you’re 💯 right ! It is complex for a simple yes, no maybe straw poll and wondered how others thought.

coloradonaturist.bsky.social•258 days ago

I definitely feel better and happier.

pzwalker.bsky.social•122 days ago

1. No. My mental health is in my head.
2. Almost. Being naked makes me feel better. Unrestricted. I am me, whatever I do or don't wear.
3. Probably. I don't even think about it. No clothes needed? Then why keep them on?

pzwalker.bsky.social•260 days ago

Yes, yes and no.

ozzandy.bsky.social•260 days ago

Temperature notwithstanding, the short answer is yes. I've always felt that comfort and a sense of well-being are the fundamental drivers of enjoying naturism for me. Other positives are add-ons from there.
