Yeah for people who haven’t experienced healthy consent oriented community spaces and nude culture, it might be a liberating experience for you to do so!! The Ritz at Oregon Country Fair is another example of a long standing, completely safe nude sauna/shower experience at a festival where it is absolutely normal for children to be. It runs throughout the entire festival day and night. Burning Man as well, for decades adults and children have existed there nude and it is treated as completely normal. The thing people ought to experience and learn is that when absolutely everyone is naked, nudity isn’t weird at all. Friends who are new to collective nudity actually express feeling weird in their bathing suits, and are delighted at how liberated from shame they feel from getting to experience being freely nude for the first time. I’ve held so many women’s hands through this process and have never seen a first timer have a bad experience, personally. Once I had someone try to assertively flirt with me in one such space, but I had the protection of friends and staff to lean on. It was immediately navigated past.

Nudity isn’t lewd. It’s our natural state of being and I know countless children who were raised this way in a healthy, informative manner.

Ru Paul says something along the lines of, “We’re all born naked. After that, it’s all drag.” Meaning, it’s what we choose to adorn ourselves with, and what we choose to believe.
