Thank you, Dr. Lightbrown! Like yourself, I grew up around nudity and it was never a big deal. We're all literally born nude, so the prudes (mostly religious types...oy) confused me. I get some people being uncomfortable being nude themselves (I am) but trying to control what other folks do? Nope. Not gonna fly in my world. As I like to …

I am not obligating you to reply - merely offering support and encouragement. As I am indeed older, I was encouraged by "Hair" and the hippy movement to try to be comfortable without clothes ("How dare they try to end this beauity") and trained in massage as a hobby. Spending many days and nights naked (we all slept on the massage mattresses on the floor) with men and women of many ages, enabled me to feel comfortable naked. I avoid nudity mainly to conform and avoid embarrassing others. I was a cliical psychologist, psychotherapist and professor dealing with sexuality and gender problems (most of which shouldn't have been problems were it not "phobic" discrimination.
It seems to me most guys are wired to enjoy being naked. Reluctance is usually from not wanting to deal with negative repercussions from somenthord party. The person is usually a woman.
Thank you, Dr. Ray (if I may). Your experience and insight are definitely a welcome breath of fresh air. If you don't already have your own Substack, I encourage you to consider starting one. Folks like myself are in need of your kinda stories. Too many didn't survive the 80s and 90s to share theirs. And coming from a rather phobic, prudish family (except my dad...he let is all fly and gave no zucks), your kind of the kind of apple a day stories so many of us gays need. In my opinion. :-)
