Now that I have your attention, I actually believe that being confident about your natural (and yes, naked) body can help your overall confidence. "Research at the University of Northern Iowa discovered that nudists have significantly higher body self-acceptance. Another study concluded that teens at a New York nudist camp were 'extraordinarily well-adjusted, happy, and thoughtful.' It’s also excellent for children to grow up free of shame about the human body." ( Hank Pellissier, 2013 ) There are many studies, besides these quoted, that suggest that a person who is confident with their naked body are just confident about themselves in general. You may not go all out ( I mean, I haven't) but a good way to try this is right before you get in the shower, take a look at your body in the mirror. It may sound weird but that's just because you're not used to it. Also, another reason is that society has taught us to sexualize our bodies and not just appreciate them for what they are- but that's another topic altogether.
Anyhow, try doing this every time you get in the shower and I promise you'll see a difference in how you view yourself. One of the main reasons we may be insecure about ourselves is because of the things people have said about how we look. With this method- the "nude method", if you will- you'll already know how your body looks and it'll just be one more way to combat insecurity in your life.
Social nudity is also a good way to keep your health up, too. Some of these benefits include: stress reduction, satiation of (or satisfaction of the) curiosity about the human body, reduction of porn addiction, a sense of full-body integration and developing a wholesome attitude about the opposite gender. Hopefully, you guys will try it out- at least the "nude method"- and if you do, comment and tell me what you experienced. Until next time, stay CONFIDENT.
