Benefits of Growing Up Naked

Is it good to grow up in a naturist household?

Yes, we had a clothed wedding.

Being naked is good for my mental health – and I want to share it with my family. I take my clothes off as soon as I get home and I’d let my kids do the same, even in public when it’s allowed.

My wife occasionally participates in nudism with me, but more importantly she’s comfortable with her nude body around the house. It’s common to see her walking around naked or changing clothes in the Livingroom. She’s not as eager to undress at every opportunity as I am, but nudity doesn’t bother her.

I introduced her to nudism early in our relationship. It helps reduce the sexual urges before marriage but also helps us to be closer during marriage.

My friends and family know that I’m a naturist and they know how to knock before entering the house. There’s been a few awkward moments, but they usually end in laughter!

I feel much happier completely naked. But of course, this raises several questions. Should you be naked in front of your kids? Won’t children become more sexually promiscuous?

Nudity combats body shame and over-sexualization by promoting uniqueness and self-acceptance. Children raised in nude friendly homes tend to develop a healthy self-image and strong self-esteem.

There’s also a lack of evidence that nudity is harmful to children. Of course, it’s important to practice family nudity in a safe way that’s comfortable for everyone. Education, open communication, and respecting boundaries should be considered.

For legal reasons, it’s also important to differentiate between nudity and lewd behavior. Sexual intimacy between partners should be kept behind closed doors. There are also strict rules regarding the photography of nude children, requiring consent and ensuring that the images are not lewd or exploitive. You can read more here.

Here at Everyday Bares, we are careful never to post images of anyone – especially children – without consent. Any image here is either uploaded from us or publicly available with a quick Google search.

The Bare Truth about the Age Gap

I’ll be blunt: there are a lot of old people into naturism.

Das FKK-Bild

That’s okay. We want people of all shapes, sizes, and ages to visit nudist resorts. The elderly are just as welcome as anyone else. However, the ratio of older adults to younger adults is concerning and indicates that naturism may be dying.

According to British Naturism, the average member is 60 years old. There are indeed younger adults participating in naturism, but it’s not as common.

There are several reasons why some seniors find naturism appealing:

1. Freedom and Liberation:

Naturism provides a sense of freedom and liberation from societal norms and expectations.

As people age, they may become more comfortable with their bodies and less concerned about judgment.

2. Body Positivity:

Naturism promotes body positivity and self-acceptance.

Older adults may appreciate the opportunity to embrace their bodies without shame or criticism.

3. Connection to Nature:

Naturists often seek a closer connection to nature.

Being naked outdoors allows individuals to feel more in tune with the natural world.

4. Social Interaction:

Naturist communities offer social interaction and a sense of belonging.

Seniors may enjoy meeting like-minded people and participating in group activities.

5. Health Benefits:

Sun exposure can provide vitamin D, which is essential for bone health.

Naturists often spend time outdoors, benefiting from fresh air and sunlight.

6. Reduced Stress:

Being in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment can reduce stress and promote overall well-being.

Remember that naturism is a personal choice, and not all older adults are interested in practicing it. Everyone’s reasons for embracing naturism may vary, but the common thread is a desire for authenticity, acceptance, and connection with others and nature.

I sometimes meet college students and young families at naturist parks and events. Young people also appreciate the freedom, body positivity, and sense of community that naturism offers. It’s a way for them to connect with nature, embrace their bodies, and foster acceptance.

Some adults may even bring their children along. Naturists believe that children can benefit from naturism by developing a positive body image, a natural curiosity, and a respect for diversity. However, the time between eight and ten years old seems to be when children start becoming more self-conscious about nudity and may begin shielding their eyes or wearing more clothing.

I suspect that older children and teens – even those growing up naked – will turn away from nudism. I understand why teenagers wouldn’t be interested in walking around naked considering their raging hormones and changing bodies. That’s okay. Nobody should be forced to be nude at home or engage in naturism. What we can do is make nudity normal and give our kids space to be themselves. I’m very pro clothing-optional and think children should be allowed to express themselves with the clothes they wear (or not to wear).

We (and by we I mean naturist parks) also need to continue to make naturism attractive to teens and young adults. It’s important that they have people their age to interact with, talk to, and have fun together. I’m afraid if we don’t naturism will die, and we will continue the spiral of body shame and sexual immorality in our culture.

To get more young people interested in naturism, we should:

1. Encourage participation in online naturist communities and incorporate naturism education in schools.

2. Combine naturism with eco-friendly activities like beach cleanups.

3. Welcome everyone regardless of background or identity.

4. Highlight naturism’s positive impact on body image and well-being. 🌿🌞🌱

Child Sexual Abuse is a Problem

But censoring nudity isn’t the solution

Child sexual abuse includes behaviors beyond physical touching. Purposely exposing a child to adult sexuality, such as showing pornographic pictures, is considered a form of child sexual abuse, even if there is no physical contact. Non-touching behaviors can be just as harmful to a child as some touching behaviors. Examples of non-touching behaviors that are considered child sexual abuse include:

  1. Showing pornography to a child
  2. Exposing a person’s genitals to a child
  3. Asking children to expose themselves
  4. Asking a child to interact sexually with someone else
  5. Online enticement of a minor for sexual purposes
  6. Photographing a child in sexual poses
  7. Exposing a child to sexual acts (including masturbation) through digital, computer, or video images

Even having adult pornography or sexual toys in the home where a child could come across them has been viewed by authorities as sexual abuse in certain circumstances. Therefore, a photo of a nude child can indeed be considered child pornography, especially if it is sexually suggestive or exploitative.

In summary, the intent behind showing or possessing such images matters, and authorities take actions to protect children from harmful exposure.

However! Let’s explore the distinction between artistic nudity and child pornography:

  1. Artistic Nudity:
    • Purpose: Artistic nudity is often depicted in various forms of art, including paintings, sculptures, and photographs. It serves as a means of expression, exploring themes such as beauty, vulnerability, and the human form.
    • Intent: The primary intent behind artistic nudity is not sexual arousal. Instead, it aims to evoke emotions, provoke thought, or celebrate the human body as a subject of art.
    • Context: Artistic nudity is typically presented within a cultural, historical, or aesthetic context. It can be found in museums, galleries, and other artistic spaces.
    • Examples: Classical sculptures, Renaissance paintings, and contemporary photography often feature artistic nudity.
  2. Child Pornography:
    • Definition: Child pornography involves sexually explicit images or videos of minors (individuals under the legal age of consent). It is a form of child sexual abuse and exploitation.
    • Legal Perspective:
      • Realistic Images: U.S. law distinguishes between pornographic images of an actual minor and realistic images that are not of an actual minor. The latter two categories (non-realistic images and drawings) are legally protected unless found to be obscene.
      • Severity Scale: The COPINE scale categorizes child abuse images based on severity, distinguishing between non-erotic to explicit sexual content. This scale helps differentiate between child erotica (non-pornographic) and child pornography.
    • Harmful Intent: Child pornography is created with harmful intent, often involving exploitation, grooming, and coercion of children. It is a crime and a serious form of child abuse.

In summary, artistic nudity celebrates the human form within an artistic context, while child pornography exploits and harms minors. The intent, context, and purpose play crucial roles in distinguishing between the two.

Now, I’m not saying we should all be posing photographs of our naked children to public albums (such as those found in this post). You should watch out for your children online as well. Some albums I do recommend being provided with a password and you can provide your photos with a password.

What I am saying is the more we censor silly, naked pics of our kids, the more we sexualize them. I don’t understand why a child’s bare backside needs to be censored. Like, it’s just a butt.

Embracing the raw beauty of nature, a young boy stands bare on the rocky shore, feeling the salty breeze on his skin.

Am I the only one that thinks this kind of censorship is silly or do we need it to protect our kids? Sound off below!

The Erection Question

What if my penis suddenly got bigger?

Photo by Deon Black on Pexels.com

It’s the top question I get from guys interested in social nudity. The fact is erections don’t occur very often.

It’s natural for people to have physiological responses, including erections, in certain situations, regardless of whether they’re clothed or nude. However, nudist communities typically emphasize non-sexual nudity and respectful behavior. In these environments, individuals are expected to manage any physiological responses discreetly and respectfully to maintain the non-sexual atmosphere particularly in the presence of families and children.

Naturist organizations often have guidelines or codes of conduct that address appropriate behavior, which may include respecting others’ personal space, refraining from sexual activity or behavior, and maintaining a non-sexual environment. Erections, if they occur, are treated as a natural bodily function, and are not necessarily viewed as inappropriate unless they are accompanied by behavior that violates the community’s standards. In such cases, individuals may be asked to cover up or leave the area to maintain the respectful and non-sexual atmosphere that naturist communities strive to uphold.

‘Yes, erections are a natural bodily function; however, an erection at a public nudist setting is generally considered inappropriate.’

When a nudist experiences an erection in a social nudist setting, the typical response is to handle it discreetly and respectfully, in line with the norms and etiquette of the nudist community. Here are some common approaches that nudists may take:

  1. Covering Up: If you feel comfortable doing so, use a towel or clothing to discreetly cover your erection until it subsides. This helps maintain the non-sexual atmosphere of the nudist environment and ensures that others, especially children, are not made uncomfortable.
  2. Changing Activity or Position: Nudists may choose to subtly change their activity or position to minimize attention to the erection. For example, they might move to a different area of the beach, engage in a different activity, or sit in a more private spot until the erection naturally fades away.
  3. Remaining Calm and Natural: It’s best to remain calm and relaxed if an erection occurs. Panicking or drawing attention to it can make the situation more uncomfortable for everyone involved. Instead, nudists often aim to maintain a natural and nonchalant demeanor while discreetly managing the situation.
  4. Respecting Others’ Space: Respect the personal space and boundaries of others, particularly families and children. Avoid any actions or behaviors that could be perceived as inappropriate and maintain a respectful distance to ensure their comfort.
  5. Leaving the Area: In some cases, if an erection persists or if the individual feels particularly uncomfortable, they may choose to leave the social nudist setting temporarily until the erection naturally resolves.

It’s important to remember that erections are natural bodily responses and are not inherently inappropriate. However, in nudist environments where the focus is on non-sexual nudity and respect for others, individuals typically aim to manage erections discreetly and respectfully to maintain the relaxed and respectful atmosphere of the community.

Start Slowly: If you’re nervous about jumping into social nudism right away, consider starting with smaller steps, such as spending time nude in the privacy of your own home or exploring clothing-optional beaches or resorts where you can gradually acclimate to social nudity in a more controlled environment.

This is a nuanced topic. It’s not as simple as “erections are bad and should be covered.” The truth is an erection can happen at any moment. A gentle touch from my wife is all it takes sometimes. I try not to think about it and let it go away on its own. For that reason, I’m honestly not offended by the sight of another man’s erect penis. However, flaunting an erection in front of naked woman or children are not cool!

Overall, it’s essential to approach the topic of erections in nudist settings with sensitivity, respect, and awareness of their well-being. By prioritizing education, communication, and safety measures, nudist communities can create inclusive and supportive environments where everyone can feel comfortable and respected.

    Boundaries of the Birthday Suit

    Photo by Sebastiaan Stam on Pexels.com

    I’m comfortable in my birthday suit, even around my family. Yes. I’m naked in my house – I even drafted this article clothes-free! I suppose you expected that because I am a nudist.

    So, I’m a nudist and my wife is comfortable with nudity. We don’t have any kids yet, but you may be wondering if that would complicate our clothes-free lifestyle. The truth is kids complicate everything and our culture’s distorted view of the human body only makes it harder.

    It’s important to set boundaries and rules when practicing nudity in your family. We are clean and hygienic when spending time in the nude. Remember to wipe your bums extra clean!

    Let each family member decide what feels comfortable to them. I, for example, do not feel comfortable having conversations or company when I’m on the toilet! I value my privacy in the bathroom and respect others’ need for privacy as well.

    I think it’s okay to take baths and showers with your kids. It’s also okay not to. Children tend to develop a sense of modesty and desire for privacy around five years old. By then it’s okay to leave them alone in the tub and respect their wishes for privacy. This also gives them an opportunity to do something on their own and learn some independence. As they get older it’s still okay to take showers together (as is commonplace in locker rooms and nudist camps) so long as extra boundaries are put in place. Always ask for consent and respect their autonomy.

    Set rules for when being naked is okay and appropriate. While it may be okay to be nude at home, clothing should be worn around guests. Sometimes it’s okay for young children to be nude outside the home (such as friends’ houses, campgrounds, and beaches) but clothing must be worn in school and all other public spaces.

    Nudist families, like any other family, establish boundaries to create a healthy and respectful environment. We just like to be naked and incorporate nudity into our everyday lives. If we want to raise the next generation to have a healthy view of the human body and make safe choices, it’s important we practice family nudity and practice it well.

    Why Anti-Nudity Bills are Dumb

    Markgrafenheide

    Anti-nudity bills are a controversial topic that has been debated for years. The idea of such bills is to restrict public nudity, but they often end up being discriminatory and sexist. For instance, in 2015, a bill was proposed in New Hampshire that would make it illegal for women to show their nipples in public. This bill was met with opposition from many people, including Democratic New Hampshire Rep. Amanda Bouldin, who called it “sexist and completely unnecessary”. The bill’s co-sponsor, Republican Rep. Josh Moore, responded with a comment that appeared to advocate sexual assault on women who are topless in public. This is just one example of how anti-nudity bills can be problematic.

    There are several reasons why anti-nudity bills are dumb. First, they are often based on outdated and puritanical ideas about nudity and sexuality. Second, they are often used to discriminate against marginalized groups, such as women and LGBTQ+ individuals. Third, they are often ineffective at achieving their stated goals, such as protecting public decency or preventing sexual harassment. Instead, they often create more problems than they solve, such as wasting taxpayer money on legal battles and violating people’s civil liberties.

    In conclusion, anti-nudity bills are a misguided attempt to regulate public nudity that often ends up being discriminatory, ineffective, and unconstitutional. Instead of trying to legislate morality, we should focus on promoting tolerance, respect, and understanding for all people, regardless of their appearance or lifestyle choices.

    What does this have to do with naturism?

    Anti-nudity bills can have a significant impact on naturists. For example, in Wisconsin, two proposed bills (AB503 and AB504) would make it illegal for people to be nude in public, including at private clubs and resorts. If these bills were to become law, they would effectively criminalize naturism in Wisconsin and could lead to the closure of many private clubs and resorts.

    Moreover, anti-nudity bills can create a hostile environment for naturists and make them feel unwelcome in public spaces. They can also perpetuate harmful stereotypes about nudity and sexuality, which can lead to discrimination and harassment against naturists.

    Despite these challenges, many naturists continue to advocate for their right to practice naturism in a safe and legal manner. They work with organizations like the Naturist Action Committee to fight against anti-nudity bills and promote greater acceptance of naturism in society.

    Naturists can take several actions to fight against anti-nudity bills. One of the most effective ways is to contact their elected representatives and express their opposition to such bills. This can be done through phone calls, emails, or letters, and it can help to raise awareness about the issue and put pressure on lawmakers to reconsider their position.

    Another way to fight against anti-nudity bills is to join a naturist organization, such as the Naturist Action Committee or the American Association for Nude Recreation. These organizations work to promote naturism and protect the rights of naturists, and they often provide resources and guidance for people who want to get involved in activism.

    Naturists can also participate in peaceful protests, rallies, or demonstrations to raise awareness about the issue and show their support for naturism. These events can be organized by local or national naturist organizations, and they can be a powerful way to make a statement and bring attention to the cause.

    Finally, naturists can use social media and other online platforms to share their stories, connect with like-minded people, and raise awareness about the issue. By using hashtags and other tools, they can reach a wider audience and build a community of supporters who are passionate about naturism and its values.

    Why You Should Sleep Naked

    Photo by Dziana Hasanbekava on Pexels.com

    According to the Sleep Foundation, there are some potential benefits of sleeping naked. Sleeping nude can help your core temperature cool faster, promote better sleep, and potentially improve vaginal health and male fertility. Sleeping naked with a partner may enhance feelings of intimacy, and even improve anxiety and self-esteem. However, there is limited research on the health effects of sleeping naked.

    If you decide to try sleeping naked, make sure your bedding is comfortable, the room temperature is optimal, and you prioritize personal hygiene before bed.

    It’s important to note that personal comfort and preferences should guide your decision to sleep naked or not. If you feel comfortable sleeping naked and it helps you receive the recommended amount of sleep each night, then it’s worth trying.

    If you have any concerns about sleeping naked, it’s best to consult with a medical professional.

    Sleeping naked with your partner can enhance feelings of intimacy and improve your relationship. However, it’s important to prioritize your partner’s comfort and preferences. If your partner is not comfortable sleeping naked, it’s best to respect their wishes and find a compromise that works for both of you.

    It’s also important to note that sleeping naked with your partner can lead to sexual activity. If you’re not ready for sexual activity, it’s best to discuss boundaries and expectations with your partner beforehand.

    If you’re considering co-sleeping with your children, it’s important to discuss the pros and cons with your partner and ensure that everyone is comfortable with the arrangement.

    Co-sleeping with children is a personal choice and can have both benefits and drawbacks. According to a Psychology Today article, co-sleeping with older children can lead to memory loss, fatigue, low energy, depression, and obesity. It can also impact the child’s anxiety, lower self-esteem, and dependency behaviors during the daytime.

    However, co-sleeping with younger children can help reduce their stress around falling asleep or waking during the night. Beginning at the age of 1, co-sleeping is generally considered safe. However, it’s important to note that co-sleeping with an infant under 12 months of age is potentially dangerous.

    The appropriateness of letting children sleep naked is a controversial topic. However, some people believe that sleeping naked can have some benefits. Here are some of them:

    • Better sleep quality: Sleeping naked can help regulate body temperature, which can lead to deeper and more restful sleep.
    • Improved skin health: Sleeping naked can help reduce the risk of skin infections and other skin problems by allowing the skin to breathe and stay dry.
    • Positive body image: Allowing children to sleep naked can help them develop a positive body image and a healthy attitude towards their bodies.

    It is important to note that these benefits are not scientifically proven and may not apply to everyone. As a parent, it is important to make decisions that are appropriate for your family and your child’s needs.

    The nudity of all small children and boys until puberty has been viewed as non-sexual in Western culture. Only since the 1980s has there been a shift in attitudes by those who associate nudity with the threat of child abuse and exploitation, which has been described by some as a moral panic. Others maintain the need for openness and freedom for healthy child development, which is practiced in Northern European and non-Western Indigenous societies that allow children to play outdoors nude.

    There is no federal law that specifically prohibits parents from sleeping naked with their children. It is important to note that nudity in the home can be a normal part of family life, but it is essential to ensure that children are safe and comfortable. The NSPCC provides guidance on how to talk to children about sharing a bedroom and how to keep them safe. They also offer advice on how to support children if you are worried about sexting or sending nudes.

    I hope this information helps. Sweet dreams! 😴

    Is it okay for kids to be naked at home?

    Life in the Sun

    Nearly every parent will tell you their toddlers love to scurry around the house naked. Children are comfortable with nudity until parents teach them that it’s “immoral,” “offensive,” or “disgraceful.”

    We ask kids to remove their clothes and take a bath. The child plays and we make sure they clean themselves. When it’s time for them to get out of the tub, we dry them off with a towel. The last step is help them put on their clothes or pajamas. But why?

    Unless the child needs a diaper, why do we put them in clothes that are just going to get dirty again? Letting your kids have some ‘naked time’ after bath helps parents save time and money. More nudity means less laundry, which will save you time, energy, and water.

    I also don’t see why we need to rob children the joys of running around naked. In the privacy of your own home, a little ‘naked time’ will only help your kids be happy. There are even some benefits of kids being naked at home. According to Planned Parenthood, allowing children to be naked can help them develop a healthy attitude about their bodies. It can also help them develop self-confidence, resilience, executive functioning abilities, and risk-management skills.

    It is normal for children to be curious about their bodies and nudity. In Western culture, nudity of small children and boys until puberty is viewed as non-sexual. However, it is important to instruct children about privacy and boundaries from an early age. It is recommended that parents educate their children about their bodies and what is appropriate in a way that does not make them feel ashamed of their bodies.

    Taking pictures of kids in the tub can be a sensitive topic. While some parents may feel comfortable taking pictures of their children in the bath, others may not. It is important to note that taking pictures of children in the tub can be considered inappropriate and even illegal if they are shared or distributed without the child’s consent.

    Legal experts advise that nothing below the waist should be photographed or shared ever. It is important to respect your child’s privacy and boundaries. If you do decide to take pictures of your child in the tub, it is recommended that you keep them private and secure.

    Bathing together as a family can be a cultural norm in some countries. For example, in Japan, it is not unusual for young children to bathe with their parents, and some kids continue bathing with their parents up until high school. Some families are comfortable showering or visiting saunas together, while others may be more comfortable only being naked around same-sex members. It is important to instruct children about privacy and boundaries from an early age.

    I Spent the Day Naked with Strangers

    and it changed my life

    I tried nudism for the first time at the age of twenty-one in 2013. This is a retelling of my experience at Solair Family Nudist Resort.

    Florida naturists

    I’m at the front desk (clothed) buying my first-ever ticket to a nudist resort. The woman (also clothed) asks for a photo ID (like a driver’s license), $50, and hands me my ticket and a welcoming packet. I was a bit nervous because I didn’t really know what to expect. Was I really going to let people see me naked? How would I react to all those naked bodies? Will I feel embarrassed? I was about to find out because it was time to get back in my car and drive to another parking lot. This would be the last time I’d see anyone with their clothes on.

    I did encounter a naked man or two on my way to the other parking lot. I didn’t think much of it because it seemed normal to him as well. Just out for a walk on a sunny day. This was my first real-life glimpse into social nudism.

    I parked my car in the larger grass parking lot on the hill behind the Arent Pavilion. I got out of my car and waited for someone to come by and give me a tour. All new visitors must be given a guided tour of the resort. I don’t remember waiting too long before an older woman came by in a golf cart (naked except for a yellow hat). She introduced herself (I’m sorry I don’t remember her name) and told me she’d take me on the tour.

    Nudity is expected (weather permitting) but not required at Solair except for a few places; the pond, pool, hot tub, and while taking a tour of the resort. This is the standard practice for nudist resorts and campgrounds around the world. Sometimes exceptions are made for teenagers but nudity is expected.

    I was asked to disrobe to join her on the tour. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t feel strange taking all my clothes off in view of a woman I just met. They really want you to jump right into the naturist experience! I took some belongings with me (phone, keys, wallet), put down a towel (Rule #1: Don’t forget a towel!), sat down, and we were off to see the resort.

    She was welcoming and assured me I’d feel comfortable at Solair. First, she showed me the heated outdoor swimming pool where people were playing water volleyball. Then she showed me the pavilion. It’s just a covered outdoor room with a concrete floor. She tells me this is where we host events like dances, dinners, various get-togethers, and kids’ events. We drove around the community centers which contained the hot tub. I love a warm and relaxing hot tub in the afternoon!

    Solair also has a beautiful pond with a big rowboat and other toys to try out. No additional rental fee is needed. The beach area has lots of sunshine and lawn chairs of which I’d later find myself taking a nap. The beach area in particular feels wonderful and clothing-free!

    A child playing on a wooden jungle gym in a park

    We ended the tour at the shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pit, and playground. They value the next generation of nudists and work to provide a safe environment for kids to have fun. There was a mother watching her two kids playing and having a wonderful time (and yep, they’re both naked). I did chuckle when one of them put their underpants back on so she could slide down the slide faster. Most kids like to be naked but having fun is always a top priority.

    The best part of nudism is you can walk around naked, letting it all hang out, and nobody cares. It’s just another day at the camp to them and I found myself having normal conversations with people. Nudists are usually very friendly and interested in welcoming newcomers. They are interested in you as a person and the lack of clothing only makes social interaction more comfortable. There’s the realization of “yep, we’re both naked” and have nothing to hide. We see each other’s unique bodies, imperfections, and all.

    This experience changed my life and it’s something everyone should try. Experiencing nudity – and seeing female bodies in the nude – without any sexualization is really something special. I saw fat people, skinny people, old people, young people, kids. Nudists embrace that everyone looks different.

    However, I will take the time to warn readers there can be a voyeuristic swinger community among nudists. But most nudist resorts (especially family resorts) don’t tolerate sexual activity. It really is safe to bring your kids somewhere where everyone is naked. I would simply avoid public beaches because they are often an “anything goes” area.

    We think nudity is shocking and uncomfortable but not so much in other cultures.

    Indigenous peoples in warm climates used clothing for decorative, symbolic, or ceremonial purposes but were often nude, having neither the need to protect the body from the elements nor any conception of nakedness being shameful. In many societies, both ancient and contemporary, children might be naked until the beginning of puberty. Women may not cover their breasts, being associated with nursing babies more than with sexuality.

    I suggest everyone tries naturism at least once. For me it was part of facing my fears but mostly just a lot of fun and a relaxing way to spend the day. Try it and change your life!
