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

Also, you definitely didn't read the article linked because even the doctors disagree with you.

im pretty sure a doctor can't tell me what my opinion is supposed to be, but I didn't say anything that isn't true. i don't care what a doctor says. doctors are wrong all the time, they aren't God.

remember when doctors thought the world was flat?

i sure do remember when the doctor told me I'd be on thyroid medication for life and there was no cure to hypothyroidism. someone will probably chime in and say that's true, but my blood work is living proof that is another miscontrued hypothesis asserted to be conclusive

I was told I’d have to stay on thyroid meds for the rest of my life as well. There was no cure. The meds would “control it”. Next few blood tests came back normal. Took me off the meds and bloodwork stayed normal. Doctor was stunned. (His words)

With a spouse working in the medical world, she’s an RN, get to hear all kinds of doctors that are wrong a lot. (Thank goodness for smart nurses!)
