nothing can escape the philosophical gaze
as in this gay philosopher's inquiry
The weird thing for me to think about however is if someone was stalking me in the library. I have heard they scope the place out, and I suspect it is actually someone working at the library, because those shoes were not able to be found. I'd have reported it, but I'm not a snitch. Snitches get stitches they say. Or some slashed tires. Nty

Nudity is not always sexual. I wasn't exposed to it until going to beaches in mexico where everyone is topless and only wearing a g string. I was taken back and uncomfortable at first. Until I realized no one cared. It was all body types and all people. Just having fun. No weirdos. I tgink it's only sexual if you make it that way. It was a learning experience for me. I am glad I experienced it and opened my mind.

I've been to a naturist nudist colony lol Lots of very old people. But yes you are right I also had the impression most really don't care. I however didn't feel completely comfortable. It felt like one of those dreams when you are in school or some public place and you look down and you have no pants on. Personally I wish people would wear long, flowy clothes like the Romans and Greeks. not some stupid toga but a well thought out one with nice fabrics and patterns. I really like the way some of them look but I digress. I'm glad someone is on the same page as me.

It was a learning experience for me. Helped me get over body insecurity. I think seeing real people as opposed to people you see on the media helped. I felt it was freeing. I'm grateful for the experience. The people I were with didn't have the same experience. Interesting to me that they were not as accepting.

I am a person with no affinity to a different age, even this age is too brutal, too dirty, too dishonest.
I had hoped for better.
Although the dawning of the Age of Aquarius may have only been an illusion for a few of us in the west, I never really visualized what the public washrooms of the future would be like. Maybe if Jefferson Airplane sang more about washing up things would be different - perhaps a new music groups will take up the cause: The New Toilets Piss Off and the Urinals, Flush the Mic, Johnny Bath...
Some public washroom experiments in Europe and in Japan seem to provide both privacy and relief as well as safety and cleanliness. but they are mostly for elimination rather than grooming.
Canada has fallen behind.
I think that the Roman experience would not have been pleasant for me, I would have been covered in marble dust (if they let me sculpt) and dead before 50, but more probably dead before 11 - as my appendix was badly inflamed at that time.
except maybe for the beach, childhood on a beach at any time could have been good, I love flotsam and jetsam.
the language was OK, any language with poetry works. I am glad that we have JavaScript and the web. I am glad I have the private bathtub that I write many of these comments from.

Humans are the only species where many individuals believe a lack of clothing is a form of sexual assault. And that sexual activities in public is a crime, labeled as "indecent exhibition" - and sometimes these people are registered as "sex offenders".
I'm very progressive about this issue. I think society needs a lot more nudity, from birth onwards. Teenagers need to experience a lot more nudity. Teen boys and girls should shower together after gym class. We must end this insane puritanical terrorism.
We need to fucking grow up as a species.

our clothing is supposed to protect us from bandits, but it is not bullet proof, the bandits keep on winning.

And we harshly criticize bodies. My last trip I had an experience. I took a shower and looking at my body I saw it differently. Not an appreciation like i made humans or sexually. How I could see my ab muscles and curves and view it as a vessel for my soul. How I lacked an appreciation for it because I spent so much time protecting it from others. My protection inhibits me from appreciating it. I cant even put into words what I experienced. It wasn't maternal or sexual it was...idk how to describe it.

It was cool Seeing my body in a different way And I liked it And I feel like it's not ok to say that because someone will tell you why you shouldn't

I have seen something very similar. I have seen patterns forming all over my naked body, and I saw how my body was evolved. I saw the 'imperfections,' but they weren't conceived that way. My husband and I have been around each other naked so much that it does in fact turn into something different. There is a maturity about it that develops. I've tripped naked with him too and that is a very interesting experience. Reality is much more interesting. Hard to manage however.

I want a blue houndstooth toga, maybe some grey and purple underneath or just regular white and black covering the exposed shoulder. I have a lot of ideas for togas but that one I will make here soon.

You could do all kinds of togas, but the fabric means everything. The right stitching. Obviously. But getting the right pattern is crucial. The possibilities are endless. The different color combinations make the toga what it is in my opinion. And for women a more transparent fabric could be used, with a slightly longer cut toga, and so nothing but parts of the ankles and calves would show through it. You wouldn't be able to see undergarments.
