It’s like putting a little salt in your sweets, the contrast only makes the sweetness stand out more.
Or get amputated.
The first times I went to the swimming pool in rehab, I remember feeling “more than 100%” naked in the changing room - if that makes any sense - because bits of me that used to be deep down inside of me were now only skin-deep. It’s a very strange feeling to feel even more naked than naked. Hard to describe.
I think it’s because of the steps removed you are from becoming non-naked. With no shoes, you’re simply an underwear away from being non-naked. But with shoes on, you must bend over, remove your shoes, remove your socks, and only then are you free to install underwear on your naked dingaling. Now imagine if your landlord unexpectedly knocks at the door, and you were naked with no shoes versus with shoes. In the first case, you’d be non-naked in a matter of seconds. Whereas, in the second case, you’d be non-naked in about 15 seconds. Not to mention, you’d be in a very compromising position during those 15 seconds, as you’d be bent over in a strange position fiddling with your shoes over your own naked body. Never discount your brain’s ability to plan ahead. And don’t think this all isn’t taken into account when considering how naked you feel with or without shoes. This, I believe, is one of the primary reasons. Okay, thank you for coming to my TED talk, have a blessed day, and fare thee well!
Paragraph breaks, my homie
Just put on a trenchcoat?
I’ve done the nudist camp thing. This is 1000% true. This also works if you’re “Donald Ducking it” and just wearing a shirt.
Straight shirt cocking it
Women wearing thigh highs with a skirt is sexier than just skirt without socks.
Empirical evidence that wearing shoes makes you more naked: The only thing hotter than a naked woman is a naked woman with heels.
I don’t know what this has to do with the post, but I totally agree.
that partial nudity is often sexier than total nudity
Nothing beats her wearing sweats pulled up then the top rolled down and one of my shirts.
I think this can be explained by the mentality of completely naked means I’m not leaving the house, but naked with shoes means I intend to go somewhere.

Just toss on a dress and go commando. No need to remove the shoes.
Or a trenchcoat
And in my nightmares I end up at school, and I graduated 30 years ago.
if you show up naked to a school at almost 40 i think bad things will happen
Yes, everyone else will develop acute glaucoma for some reason.
nothing cute about glaucoma, buddy
Fair enough,I was trying to make a joke about the state of my 50+ saggy bod
I had the wildest dream where my entire class had to repeat senior year because Covid somehow invalidated our credits. Even though I graduated in 2019…
As someone diagnosed with PTSD that also has nightmares related to it, I think it’s way underplayed how much public schools give people long term emotional trauma. Not even just bullying, a lot of the expectations schools put on kids are just developmentally unreasonable. It’s not random that so many people have school related nightmares decades after they’ve graduated.
I think nakedness in dreams is just a common theme for vulnerability, but there’s a reason it’s so tied to school for many people, and it’s not because they’re healthy environments that produce well adjusted young adults.
It works with socks too
So if you’re completely naked in public does putting on shoes make you feel less naked? We need a science.
Yeah - try it
I have a sizable piece of property out in the middle of nowhere. Gotta say, going walkabout wearing only socks and shoes is the BEST!
You can never be totally naked if you have a tattoo.
Feeling like Sonic
So that’s why they called ron jeremy the hedgehog.

As someone who would routinely go around Seattle naked on my bike this is 100% true. Something about shoes and a helmet feels way more naked than actually naked
Man invented shoes first, because he was walking through the hot sand and the sharp rocks and the pointy briars, so he invented shoes to protect his feet from the ground. Then he invented pants, because he felt silly standing around naked in his shoes.
I think that was a Gallagher bit?
Well if you’re gonna go outside naked, it’s the sensible thing to do.
Thanks, I hate it.
I don’t think I would like that feeling.
Naked except for my socks and sandals.
hey I’m wearing socks too! bet you can’t guess where I’m wearing them though 😏
In the pool? 🤔
