YOBcast 113: Non-Sexual Nudity
Ten years of the YOBcast and not a single nudity episode?! Until now. Join Tom, Ryan, Matt, and a special guest to discuss this important intersection of nudity, body image, and vulnerability with other men. How did our familial and peer upbringings shape our relationship with nudity as adults? How have we – or haven’t we – entered nude environments like doctor’s offices, locker rooms, and Korean spas? We share stories of how appropriate, non-sexual nudity has initiated deeper brotherhood, and also stories of insecurity or lack of desire to be nude with other men.
Wherever you fall on this “nudity desire spectrum,” we hope this episode helps you reconsider your relationship with your own body, as well as your embodied relationships with the men around you. We also discuss Sam Allberry’s resignation and the impact on our community.
