In this episode, we look at the history of empirical studies into the effects of growing up in naturist environments with Mark Storey, a nudist historian and philosophy professor. Then we meet Dennis Craig Smith, the writer of Growing Up Without Shame, the 1986 book that was the result of a survey of adults who had grown up in nudist-friendly households. Join us as Smith shares his personal experiences and viewpoint from writing the book, and as we explore the underwritten history of naturism’s impact on childhood development.
