I’ve done the nudist camp thing. This is 1000% true. This also works if you’re “Donald Ducking it” and just wearing a shirt.
Straight shirt cocking it
Oh bother.
Hat.
Then, just step over a motorcycle and if even that isn’t enough just drive to a highway and speed up to +100 kmh, then you’ll feel naked
Optimally hight heels (including the case all genders).
For the opposite effect, walk into a room with other naked people and an air temperature above 70°C. Suddenly it’ll be totally fine.
Nobody’s fine at 70°C…
Right, it oughta be at least 90°C to be nice and comfy

Well if you’re gonna go outside naked, it’s the sensible thing to do.
If you haven’t done this before, there’s no time like the present. Also, go outside in your front yard. That pretty much maximizes the effect.
Naked to the elements
Or get amputated.
The first times I went to the swimming pool in rehab, I remember feeling “more than 100%” naked in the changing room - if that makes any sense - because bits of me that used to be deep down inside of me were now only skin-deep. It’s a very strange feeling to feel even more naked than naked. Hard to describe.
Do you still feel a phantom hand in your head?
yes. what’s fun is when they cramp. and when the part of you that is cramping is not a part that is available to put up to a mirror to unclench. so you just get to sit there, since your MD believes you’ve healed. book says you should have years ago.
your MD believes you’ve healed. book says you should have years ago.
If your doc thinks that, change doc.
In my neck of the woods, doctors are so aware of phantom pains that I can literally walk into any doctor’s office, even one I’ve never met before, and ask for a prescription of Gabapentin or opioid of any denomination at any strength no questions asked. If I was still addicted, I would have no supply problem.
And then you’re drug seeking and doctor hopping and then there are only four doctors will even see you.
Well, I still have both my hands, so no 🙂
My feet however… Well no, I don’t have phantom limbs. Never had. Not everybody gets them. And I have very little phantom limb pain - which is a different thing. When I do get it, it’s either in the form of mild electric shocks, which are easy to deal with and possibly even pleasant like a TENS session, or in the form of terrible itching I can’t scratch that can last for up to 3 days.
Jeez. I know that’s a mind fuck.
I have a sizable piece of property out in the middle of nowhere. Gotta say, going walkabout wearing only socks and shoes is the BEST!
I live in England and this level of certainty that you won’t run into anyone is simply unfathomable to be
I’m about 1km of dense woods from my nearest neighbor. Sometimes their dog gets out and they come looking for him.
They have learned to text and wait (cause signal coverage is spotty at best) the hard way 🤪
I see this in some character costume designs that show some (not all) skin. Once in a while, they’re barefoot, and the effect is just a free spirit vibe. But, if they have very bare legs, a big thick pair of sneakers or boots draws attention to the legs, making them look more exposed.
Even more true if you’re one of many who remove shoes in the house. Shoes are an outside thing only and if they’re the only thing you have on, something has gone tricky terribly awry.
Its working! You’re a genie!
The shoes stay on during sex.
I think this can be explained by the mentality of completely naked means I’m not leaving the house, but naked with shoes means I intend to go somewhere.
It works with socks too
So if you’re completely naked in public does putting on shoes make you feel less naked? We need a science.
Yeah - try it
I think it’s because of the steps removed you are from becoming non-naked. With no shoes, you’re simply an underwear away from being non-naked. But with shoes on, you must bend over, remove your shoes, remove your socks, and only then are you free to install underwear on your naked dingaling. Now imagine if your landlord unexpectedly knocks at the door, and you were naked with no shoes versus with shoes. In the first case, you’d be non-naked in a matter of seconds. Whereas, in the second case, you’d be non-naked in about 15 seconds. Not to mention, you’d be in a very compromising position during those 15 seconds, as you’d be bent over in a strange position fiddling with your shoes over your own naked body. Never discount your brain’s ability to plan ahead. And don’t think this all isn’t taken into account when considering how naked you feel with or without shoes. This, I believe, is one of the primary reasons. Okay, thank you for coming to my TED talk, have a blessed day, and fare thee well!
Just toss on a dress and go commando. No need to remove the shoes.
Or a trenchcoat
And in my nightmares I end up at school, and I graduated 30 years ago.
As someone diagnosed with PTSD that also has nightmares related to it, I think it’s way underplayed how much public schools give people long term emotional trauma. Not even just bullying, a lot of the expectations schools put on kids are just developmentally unreasonable. It’s not random that so many people have school related nightmares decades after they’ve graduated.
I think nakedness in dreams is just a common theme for vulnerability, but there’s a reason it’s so tied to school for many people, and it’s not because they’re healthy environments that produce well adjusted young adults.
Not just public schools. I went to private school and still woke up with high school nightmares for years as a college graduate.
I think the expectations are a part of it, but I also think it’s the fact that it’s an extremely stressful time period between expectations for one’s future, high hormones, major social changes that happen as everyone’s brain cooks at a different speed, and the constant fighting for increased independence.
Like, don’t get me wrong I also didn’t enjoy being in class, and I’ve had full on flashbacks to fights with my father over my grades in high school (also have a ptsd diagnosis), but imo the educational elements of high school weren’t meaningfully worse than earlier years or college/adulthood. It was being a teenager that was particularly traumatic, and high school was just the location where most of the issues converged
if you show up naked to a school at almost 40 i think bad things will happen
Yes, everyone else will develop acute glaucoma for some reason.
nothing cute about glaucoma, buddy
Fair enough,I was trying to make a joke about the state of my 50+ saggy bod
I had the wildest dream where my entire class had to repeat senior year because Covid somehow invalidated our credits. Even though I graduated in 2019…
[off topic?]
The difference between naked and nude is that nude just means you aren’t wearing clothes, but naked implies that there’s a plan involved.
…and nekkid means nude plus a naughty plan.
bonk
