    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

          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.

        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.

    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’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.
