Reminds me of what an EMT once told me. She mentioned that every EMT inevitably learns two very important questions to ask whenever you encounter someone who is naked in public:
Those two questions will shed a lot of light on the current situation, and will let you gauge how the next 15 minutes is going to go.
Would “yes, yes” be more entertaining or “no…yes!”
or socks and sandals
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.
Jeez. I know that’s a mind fuck.
Do you still feel a phantom hand in your head?
Well, I still have both my hands, so no 🙂
My feet however… Well no, I don’t have phantom limbs. Never had. Not everybody gets them. And I have very little phantom limb pain - which is a different thing. When I do get it, it’s either in the form of mild electric shocks, which are easy to deal with and possibly even pleasant like a TENS session, or in the form of terrible itching I can’t scratch that can last for up to 3 days.
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
Feeling like Sonic
So that’s why they called ron jeremy the hedgehog.

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 himie
This was not a paragraph post, it was definitely a stream of consciousness post
Just put on a trenchcoat?
It’s like putting a little salt in your sweets, the contrast only makes the sweetness stand out more.
Even more true if you’re one of many who remove shoes in the house. Shoes are an outside thing only and if they’re the only thing you have on, something has gone tricky terribly awry.
Women wearing thigh highs with a skirt is sexier than just skirt without socks.
I don’t know what this has to do with the post, but I totally agree.
that near nudity is often sexier than total nudity
Can’t do that sorry. Actually I am lmao like, nah, but
Empirical evidence that wearing shoes makes you more naked: The only thing hotter than a naked woman is a naked woman with heels.
I can’t believe that humanity hasn’t got an explanation for this yet
Nothing beats her wearing sweats pulled up then the top rolled down and one of my shirts.
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?
Thanks, I hate it.
Hat.
Well if you’re gonna go outside naked, it’s the sensible thing to do.
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
Dave Barry posited a very similar theory about black socks, IIRC.
this is a popular artist technique, and even works with simple things like glasses and jewelry!
I don’t think I would like that feeling.
Ever since I was a kid I, and other men, have had to occasionally remind women that if the air conditioning is too cold then can they please just put on a sweater because there’s only so much clothing we can remove before we either run out of options or somebody calls the cops.
The shoes stay on during sex.
Naked except for my socks and sandals.
hey I’m wearing socks too! bet you can’t guess where I’m wearing them though 😏
On your fingers
You can never be totally naked if you have a tattoo.
[off topic?]
The difference between naked and nude is that nude just means you aren’t wearing clothes, but naked implies that there’s a plan involved.
…and nekkid means nude plus a naughty plan.
bonk
Its working! You’re a genie!
With or without socks?
With socks. Otherwise, you’re focused on the weird feeling of wearing shoes without socks.
However, naked with just socks is still more naked than just naked.
Only without socks.
You are not going on a date with my daughter young man, not with that attitude.
try taking off some of your buttholes
If you haven’t done this before, there’s no time like the present. Also, go outside in your front yard. That pretty much maximizes the effect.
Naked to the elements
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!
I live in England and this level of certainty that you won’t run into anyone is simply unfathomable to be
Sometimes my neighbor’s dog gets out and they come looking for him.
They have learned to text and wait (cause signal coverage is spotty at best) the hard way 🤪
This dream, again??

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.

And in my nightmares I end up at school, and I graduated 30 years ago.

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.

if you show up naked to a school at almost 40 i think bad things will happen

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…

Just toss on a dress and go commando. No need to remove the shoes.

So if you’re completely naked in public does putting on shoes make you feel less naked? We need a science.
Oisteink@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Yeah - try it

It works with socks too
