Get close to nature in bare skin or bright colors

Editor,

I strongly support equal rights for a woman to be top-free in public — if she wants to be.

I love living naked at home and mostly naked elsewhere when I am warm enough. I enjoy living as naked as the weather and law allow.

Humans are the only animals who feel ashamed of their naked bodies and feel compelled to cover their genitals. Why be more ashamed of our genitals than our noses? Why be more ashamed of our ass cheeks than our face cheeks?

When my mother and my father were alive, I was often naked as an adult in their presence.

Why is it legal to show rifles, shotguns, revolvers and missiles in public, but NOT our naked penises, testicles, vaginas, asses and female breasts? Why the crazy, sick hang-ups about these precious, pleasurable parts of our bodies?

When I need clothes to be warm enough, I love to wear bright colors. My favorite is red — the color of passion. Looking colorful is NOT more for females. Sometimes among other animals, the males are more colorful than the females.

Why dress dark and drab? Depressed people often wear dismal clothes, expressing and worsening their depression.

Nature is ablaze with colors — sun, sky, trees, flowers. The more removed from nature we become, often the less colorfully we dress. The more time we spend inside offices, classrooms, factories and houses shut off from nature, often the less colorfully we dress. Traditionally Native American and African tribes, Swiss, Guatemalan and many others dressed in bright colors.

YES to naked body freedom and to bright rainbow colors!

Sincerely,

Don Schrader
