Is it Awkward Seeing Your Friends Naked?

Ryan, owner/blogger of everydaynudist.com sitting on his bed in Spokane Washington.

Seeing your friends naked, why can it be so awkward or “taboo”?

It is because we are friends? Or is it because we are embarrassed to see or be seen naked due to our personal body image? Maybe because seeing our friends naked may be somewhat of a turn on, or we have secretly envisioned what they would look like naked and know we know? What happens if I get turned on masturbate to thought of them naked, does that make a bad person? Will the next time I see them, be awkward because you now know what they look like underneath all those layers of clothes?

Free the Nipple. It is time for true women’s equality.

This question has been asked thousands of times and there has never really been a solid answer that makes since to me. Why can’t women go around topless? Why do women get discriminated against, or cat called or shamed if they opt to go braless in public? Why are other women so damn degrading to each other, even when it comes to breastfeeding in public?

The problem, in my humble opinion, is that we (as a society at least in the U.S.) haven’t #normalizednudity. Nudity has always been associated with sex; therefore, if a woman chooses to go topless, it is a sign of sexual intent to any man walking by. Ultimately, leading them to make a rude ass comment.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

Do You Suffer from Seasonal depression, symptoms, treatments

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), the short duration depression that can ruin a holiday season.

As a person that suffers from depression and anxiety year round, I often find myself with a little extra struggle during the winter months. During these months I often feel tired, lethargic, and have a lack of motivation to do anything productive. I often blame it on the short days, and it being dark what seems like all the time. In short, it takes what little bit of energy I have to do anything extra.

Does this sound like you? Do you feel like this during the winter months? Maybe, you do good in the winter but when summer comes you get in a “slump”.

If so, you may be suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. According to the Cleveland Clinic,

Blog Highlight: Margret Albaugh

Award winning photographer, blogger, advocate

Award winning photographer and blogger Margret Albaugh

Blog Highlight: Margret Albaugh

I decided that I want to start doing some blog highlights that are both inside and outside of the nudist community. I will pick some that provide some great information (outside of mine expert home opinions 😊), are thought provoking, are vulnerable, or simply those that have not only talented people, but good and kind people.

For this first edition, I chose to pick the blog of Margret Albaugh. She is lives in Spokane and is a wife, mother, and award-winning photographer. She is not only talented behind the lens of her camera, but her blogs are well written, thought provoking, and at times very vulnerable. Furthermore, she is an advocate, and amazing storyteller and does a wonderful job highlighting some of the amazing women owned businesses here in Spokane Washington.

Thanksgiving Blessings: Focusing on what you have

Everydaynudist owner/lead blogger Ryan and his beautiful wife Jessica celebrating their 2 year anniversary in November, 2020.

Thanksgiving blessings. This is a blog I felt like writing because, if you are like me, 2020 has left us ungrateful, or at least, distracted from life’s blessings.

Sure everyday I give some thanks for decent health, my family, a roof over my head and food to eat. The standard things most of us take for granted. However, on Thanksgiving I really sat down to reflect on all the things I am grateful to have.

Veteran’s Day Thoughts from a Nudist Veteran

  • The active duty veteran
  • The naked veteran
Two very different Ryan’s on Veterans Day. Ryan, on the right, pictured in uniform during his company change of command at Camp LeJeune NC, circa 2001. On the left, just one paddle that he painted and hand carved, although not fully complete in this picture and upside down.

Veteran’s Day

Happy Veteran’s Day to all veterans who read this, as well as happy belated birthday to our United States Marine readers. Veteran’s day means something different to each veteran and below are some of my thoughts.

As a veteran of the United States Marine Corps I never really got into Veterans Day until I became older. I still struggle at times getting a free meal or a thank you for your service. There are many reasons for this but as I grow older I become more accepting of it…and yes if you want to offer me a free meal I will surely eat it and not argue over it.

Erectile Dysfunction: Quit Hiding Get Help

Fella’s this blog is for you and ladies you can read and if need be encouraging your men to seek help. While not “nudist”, this is something can affect many areas of your life and not just your sexual relationships.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) affects about 5% of men over 40 and the numbers increase as you get older. However, if you have certain medical conditions it can occur much earlier in life.

Like me for example. I am currently 44 and was diagnosed for ED about 10 years ago due to a low back injury I received while in the Marine Corps. Now I say diagnosed, verses I got it, because I had it for probably 3-4 years before I talked to my doctor about it. For those 3-4 years I didn’t struggle with getting and erection, I struggled with keeping it.
