Let's talk touch, eye contact, and connection in naturism.
"Naked Norm"21 Jan 2025

Let's talk touch, eye contact, and connection in naturism.

Norm and Sophie go deep on how touch and making eye contact with other naturists can foster deeper human connections.

In this episode our research explores the significance of physical touch and eye contact in fostering connection, particularly within naturist communities. Studies show that touch releases oxytocin, strengthening bonds and improving well-being, while eye contact enhances empathy and shared understanding. Naturist settings, characterized by nudity, offer unique opportunities for touch and eye contact (in respectful ways), potentially amplifying these positive effects. Our research, and common sense, also emphasizes the crucial role of consent and respect within these communities, acknowledging cultural variations in touch preferences and the persistence of behaviours like voyeurism even in accepting environments. We also look at the research that highlights challenges faced by naturists, such as social stigma, while emphasizing the importance of acceptance.
