Meanwhile non-nudists are freaked out by the concept of Chez Naked and wince a lot when discussing it. Generally, people who were raised in a nude house are perplexed by those who weren’t. Having asked the nude-house question a lot this week (I highly recommend it as an ice-breaker at your next social gathering), I’ve learned that the level of nudity you grew up with is your baseline for normal and you think everyone else is weird.

Did you grow up in a nude house? Apologies if you now have an inappropriate mental picture of your parents and siblings naked.
