State of the Human: Nakedness

Main content start

Being naked–or seeing others naked–can evoke a firestorm of emotions . . . everything from freedom to vulnerability to sensuality to shame. This series features stories about exposure therapy, naked theater, coming out to parents, worker-owned strip clubs, and nudist retreats. Each story explores the transformative process of revealing ourselves—physically, mentally, and spiritually—and discovering who we are in the middle of it all.
