BBC Future Looks at How Social Nudity May Affect Body Image

BBC Future published "How social nudity can boost your body image" on August 20, 2026, written by psychologists Kerem Soylemez of Regent's University London and Marina Rachitskiy of the University of Roehampton. According to British Naturism's account of the piece, it draws on interviews with British Naturism members and on earlier work by Professor Keon West suggesting that time spent naked around others may improve body appreciation and wellbeing. This summary is based on that description, so read the original for the evidence and caveats.
