Summary
A new study published in The Journal of Sex Research suggests that participating in communal naked activities can lead to a more positive body image and reduced social physique anxiety. The study involved 27 men and 24 women from the London area and revealed that participants who interacted naked with strangers reported improved body image compared to those who did not.
