Another great episode of Naked Age! Thanks Evan, that was great and also kind of sad. I wish there were more modern studies on naturism and nudism and not just on children, but for an entire context of fields like social science, environmental science, psychological, etc. I think that the more studies and broader it becomes, the more inquiries and research will look into how it affects vulnerable populations such as children. And maybe without the thesis being about children, simply included as an afterthought within the publishing, it would also help protect the author from being ostracized. Thanks again for all your hard work!

As a psychologist, this episode really hit home for me. We all intuitively feel that nudism is on the whole a positive influence on our lives and it makes so much sense that it should also have a positive effect on our children and either a positive or perhaps neutral effect on others' children. Having empirical evidence to back up those beliefs is very powerful. Yes, we need more of that evidence. But armed with the evidence that has already been collected, we can more confidently discuss these issues those who have been misinformed.
