Agreed 100%. Aussie is so weird about nudity, especially considering we swim so often. I didn't get rid of my aversion to nakedness until I backpacked around Europe and started visiting bathhouses.
I was in Japan 4 weeks after having a fall from horse so bad I broke a few ribs and tore my liver. Lemme tell ya, they don't even stare at you in an onsen if 2/3 of your torso is brown and yellow from half healed bruises (which could be taken as good or bad depending on the origin of the bruises. But still).
Thank you for providing a GOOD piece of writing on nudity that doesn’t shame, project, judge, and inevitably reveal that it was the writer who really showed their ass.
Also, mammaries doing the cha-cha is nudist clapping and I’m now suing Gilmore for discrimination.
Yeah, the tone of the whole thing was SUPER judgey. Like mate, I don’t think about your body. But you’re clearly spending a lot of time thinking about the bodies of people who are minding their own business, getting changed.
I am aligned with you thinking. Visiting Finnish saunas and then Italian Riverina helped me realise that no one GAF!
No one! No one is looking at each other! Australians are the ones who make it weird!!

Yup - completely reset my brain when I did it in Japan. I so believe in it now.
I couldn't agree more. Everyone should try going nude in a Japanese bathhouse at least once!
God, what I would do for onsens to be in Australia…
A matter close to my heart as a fellow exhibitionist.. brilliant read thanks Coombes.
I love that that has flushed out all my nudist friends.

FUCKING TORN LIVER?! GET A NEW HOBBY, GEMMA JESUS CHRIST.
I’m currently nude. I just wanted to share that.
It was always more of a surprise when you were in them.

Yep, just fuelled by repressed issues and typed while breathing heavily.
