The the only logical thing to do is take off your clothes. And folks still <strong>need<\/strong> to wear something, no matter how flimsy. There is this <strong>need<\/strong>, this weird mental obligation to cover up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suddenly realised it&#8217;s not only because people are afraid of being naked. It&#8217;s also because of their inbred body-shame issues. Even people who don&#8217;t look bad according to these disgusting, modern beauty-standards, suffer from this same thing. I am convinced of that. TV and ads convince everyone they never look good enough. That is the beauty-dogma for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so they cover up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The people you see at a nude beach&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you ever hear or read this one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The people you see at a nude beach are not the people you want to see at a nude beach.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That is one of the problems with the beauty-dogma. Everyone who tries so hard to look so beautiful expects everyone else to look so beautiful as well. The brainwash has taken full occupancy of their mind in that respect. And so these people are against nudity because&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Selection_0056-1.jpg\" alt=\"Naked people nude beach\" class=\"wp-image-4551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Selection_0056-1.jpg 791w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Selection_0056-1-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Selection_0056-1-768x540.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.ie\/life\/health-wellbeing\/health-features\/warning-video-includes-nudity-100-naked-swimmers-bare-all-to-raise-money-for-mnd-30653864.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Skinny dippers (opens in a new tab)\">Skinny dippers<\/a> in Ireland.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;not everyone at a nude beach is &#8216;beautiful&#8217;.

And it goes even so far that they will do what they can to embellish their outside with clothes, because vanity rules in many ways. Combine something powerful like that with body-shame and other influences like religion and peer pressure, and I think the picture is coming together quite nicely&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"274\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Selection_0058.jpg\" alt=\"Paul nude outside\" class=\"wp-image-4554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Selection_0058.jpg 274w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Selection_0058-184x300.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 85vw, 274px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay naked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remain yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth lies just beneath the skin&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What?
