I remember touring Pompeii. The streets were deep waste dumps. There were places to step over it and cross that had slots for carts. It was not all so perfect for a nose. There was a prostitute section, the only crooked road in the whole town, slaves. Not my ideal, but yep, we have lost a great deal, give time time, it's natural and so should come back to us. This anti-...body/sex/humanity BS hasn't been around that long.
Last year at the Rainbow Gathering the "shitters" had a cloth structure around them. People would wait politely. As things got more comfortable and those units filled up requiring more trenches, things changed amongst the tribe. Privacy disappeared. It took me getting used to. For me, roaming around completely nude was comfortable, but when I was joined by a young lady squatting and smiling at a trench looking for conversation while we defecated...well, that was new. I suppose that I would have adapted with a couple of more days, but we left.
I found our newbie naturist with the door open sitting on the toilet of the mobile home out at Ragged Top. I backed off, but she invited me in, assuring me that, "Its okay, We all have one and we all do it." Not a general custom amongst naturist or nudist. In close quarters...? I didn't know to draw a line or flow with hers.
