It makes me sad that our society insists on viewing nudity as exclusively a sexual thing or that it is offensive. Frankly, this is a toxic way of thinking about our own bodies and our true nature as human beings. Being openly naked in a non-sexual way is in fact quite joyful and liberating. The media (tv, film, magazines, etc.) always presents nudity in an overly sexualized manner which makes people think that sex is the only reason to be naked, but that is absolutely not the case.
Being naked in a non-sexual way allows us to enjoy the freedom and liberty of truly being alive and in touch with our body and our humanity.
The act of being naked outside in a non-sexual way, just because you feel like being naked outside, shouldn't be against the law. I honestly find it oppressive that I can't be naked outside anywhere in my city. Toronto has a legal clothing optional public beach, Ottawa needs one too! Every city should have a safe space where people can enjoy the summer being naked and free out in nature.
Why do we shame our own humanity by making our naked bodies illegal? It's very sad that society has such a negative outlook about being openly naked.
I discuss this in more detail in this post:
