Jamie Valentino writing at Gay Culture website So.Gay reports that sharing nakedness, with other people in either a sexual or a non sexual environment, can be a liberating experience. Valentino says "as I stepped beyond this scene to explore other diverse nude-oriented social spheres, such as jockstrap-themed club parties or free-for-all of leather bars, I found the same feeling of safety, both within myself and others... I contacted acclaimed sexual wellness & intimacy coach Court Vox to see if this feeling could be universal. After all, nude beaches lure millions to experience freedom sans cloth. He said it depends. “Communal nakedness can help us feel better about bodies because it allows us to experience other people’s naked bodies, perfections, and imperfections, specifically in relation to ours. If the container is set in such a way, what is possible is a letting go of shame, fear, and inadequacy to the point where folks forget they are naked.” said Vox.
