Gosh, DF, a fascinating read. I can't directly relate your experiences and growth of naked emancipation to my own but it did ring bells from "back when" - when I can recall my body's desire to shed clothes and yet it being polluted with guilt and sensual/sexual feelings which confused my motivations. It wasn't until decades later that I realised how to detach nudity from sex and both from guilt and shame feelings. A lot of that was thanks to being in a group of unembarrassed naturists on TSNS. It gave me the strength and the thought processes to shed the restricting garments of convention and accept that I liked (loved) being naked for its own sake.
