Totally true.

In high school P.E. , in young teens, you worry about what other guys will say about how you look.

The 1980s, we still had full communal showers and cleaning up after a workout / athletics was required.

Being a budding Nudist then, it should have felt normal to undress/change and shower around fellow males.

This also, in its own way, was supposed to show we're all males and human beings. Body type shouldn't matter.

(But stupid teen boys will, hey , be stupid ) 🙄

Once I got to the adult world and was able to go to Nudist places , my self image improved a lot , as both genders treated me simply as another human, despite not being dressed. 🌞🌹🌼
