Door-to-door campaigning full of nude surprises

So a political campaigner encounters unclothed homeowners. He is "still trying to figure out exactly why some voters who were so obviously planning an uninterrupted evening at home even bother to answer the door."

Like most politicians, he errs in thinking that the only purpose of nudity is sex. That mistake has created some bad laws.

Many people in naturist (or nudist) families simply don't like wearing clothes, or find that the naked body isn't shameful or immoral. Their personal physical disarmament brings many benefits, such as better hygiene, relief of stress, and removal of sexual obsession, without any nudge-nudge innuendoes.

Politicians should educate themselves about the naturist movement.
