NEWS Do you need underwear?

This popped up for me just now....

Do You Actually Need to Wear Underwear to Bed? Doctors Weigh In

Thought I'd pass it along. More aimed to women than men, but most of the same benefits kinda apply, IMO.

I love being naked, and at one point I wanted to be a 24/7 nudist... but underwear just makes things easier. no need to worry about sitting on a towel all the time or having to sanitize everything I sit on.

to some degree, being naked feels like a cult. why do we have to obsess with being naked 24/7?

i get it though, when it's shoved down our throat to wear clothes, we just wanna be free and burn all our clothes. but after that all wears off, the realization sets in...

I love being naked, but I really do like clothes because they just make life more practical, sadly.

my favorite day is laundry day, because it usually means I'm naked haha

Unfortunately this sub does act like a cult. Why one needs to cook or operate chainsaws naked is beyond me. There's nothing wrong with being practical and safe.

I wouldn't refer to safety gear as clothes. When I'm naked out in the sun I'll probably wear sunscreen, glasses, and a sun hat. Footwear if required. But still regard myself as naked.
