Nudism as ED therapy

[tessa-]

Anyone heard of nudism being good ED therapy?
I eat better now I’ve noticed since I’ve been nude around others a lot like the beach
My bros gf says it’s because it’s so body positive

I had to read this a second time thinking
being nude is therapy for erectile dysfunction.
If eating more while being nude helps u have
a positive attitude then why not but I never
heard of it.

I can understand why it would be. My mom is a behavioral psychologist, and she told me that it's been very common for at least the past 50 years for overweight people to be told by their doctors or therapists to take a few naked photos of themselves, or in just underwear if they are too modest, and tape them up on the refrigerator door so if they are thinking about eating they are forced to look at those photos first.

Apparently it does work by increasing their motivation not to go off their diet. Seeing yourself naked in a photo, in the mirror, or as part of being a nudist and being seen naked by others would be a positive motivator.

I haven't heard of it either, but I can definitely see how it would help a lot. The question is how to convince people suffering from ED to take their clothes off and spend time with other people that way, when their issue basically is about dissatisfaction of their body.

I think that attending something like a naturist resort or a nude beach would quickly let the person with the eating disorder see such a wide range of body sizes and shapes that they could see where they currently fit in, and it would help them want to succeed with addressing their issues. Getting them to that point for the first time could be difficult as you stated, especially if they are uncomfortable with their body.

You are 100% right! I've taken both guys and girls to a nude beach and they are tense and scared right up until they see everyone on the beach... then they audibly sigh and realize it's mostly the same mix of bodies you'd see on any beach:D

I´ve never heard of that. But I like being on a nude beach.

I’ve heard that being nude can help poor self esteem and body image which suppose is the root of the issue for eating disorders.

I've never heard of it, but if you think it helps then keep doing it I guess :)
