Wash Over Me / Alicia / Playmate Gallery

If there was one thing I ever wanted the world to do, it was to do at least one activity naked. Whether a normal day, an average trip to the beach, or an exercise routine, skin has long been such an important part of my life and is yet still treated in so many ways in a negative light. I know firsthand why a lot of that is. Seeing something over and over, especially in such a fashion as mass media, where aesthetics can be important, it's easy to have such things drilled into us that something can be thought to be unrealistic and what must be strived for. The worst I can say about myself is that I never did that with my body. I definitely had some moments, but it was nowhere near the case of many others. Self-criticism is a strange thing, especially as someone like me, who was in possession of a rather curvy figure, though it's to assume part of my insecurities was internal. Now, it could be argued that everything is, but in practice it comes in different forms: an influence that resonates, opinion or simply natural human behavior. Whatever the case, it doesn't change that being as naked as possible, and to achieve actual nudity is an extremely important and human activity that needs to be celebrated, including over clothing. If you don't agree with that, it is not this guide's intention to force you. Clothes, after all, do get in the way of things we do, ranging from more private concerns to making it a lot easier to crawl around beneath your bed when chasing the forgotten sock or whatever reason.
