of militarized in a sense with these camps where people would go down and whistle would blow and they'd all march down to the beach And do healthy exercises on the beach naked and all swim vegetarian food and all that sort of stuff
Speaker 1
I put a call out in the newsletter and on social media for your stories about being naked in public and here's one from Julia
Speaker 3
So Wisconsin and I think pretty much any cold climate area has this concept of winter beach parties where you put on a bikini swimming trunks whatever and you go to somebody's house they crank up the heat there's tiki drinks you have a Dr. Dance party. It's pretty great. I went to one of these. It's like nine is 20 out and afterwards we all jumped in the lake naked which is another very Wisconsin thing and And After that I did not feel like putting on my wet swimsuit to bike about 20 minutes home And I was kind of amped up because when you jump in freezing cold water, you get kind of an adrenaline rush so I just bike tome as is and This being the Midwest no one said anything to me directly about the fact that I was asked naked but Three people did ask me four directions to the street that they and I were on
Speaker 1
Ah that Midwest nice That's probably the best place to be naked if you don't want anyone to say anything Thanks for sending that in Julia If you want to contribute a story to the next episode Subscribe to the newsletter and keep an eye out on social media at taboo science on Twitter to see what the next question is With all of the shame and double standards and complicated rules around nudity You might wish that we could just cast off the rules altogether and just be nude if we want to be in that case You would have something in common with the newtism movement.
