Summary
Naturism emerges as a potential remedy for loneliness as a recent poll on Planet Nude shows a strong sense of optimism regarding its ability to combat isolation. The emphasis on acceptance and the creation of a supportive and judgment-free environment suggests naturism could offer meaningful connections and camaraderie, particularly for older adults and men. However, challenges such as inclusivity, sporadic events, and stigma towards single men in naturist spaces need to be addressed to fully harness its potential in alleviating loneliness.
