Not so much related to naturism, but I find that it’s something I think about when naturists complain of the cold and can’t wait for the summer to get naked outside. When it’s cold outside, like well below freezing, why not take advantage of this and treat it like a cold water swim? I’ve challenged myself this last winter to spend some time outside without clothes in the cold and, indeed, it is exhilarating.

Try it out (take time to get used to it - don’t dive right in), see how alive you feel afterwards.
