National Nude Day

National Nude Day celebrates the human body in its most natural state. It is a day to challenge the shame associated with nudity and to promote body positivity, freedom, and the idea that our bodies are not inherently sexual or obscene. Today we're debating the naked truth—why are we so comfortable seeing violence on TV but so terrified of seeing a naked human body?

Speaking Discussion

  • Why does nudity cause so much shock in public, even if it is not sexual?
  • Is social media (with its filters and perfect bodies) the enemy of body positivity?
  • Would the world be a more peaceful place if everyone was naked for one day?
  • Should nude beaches be the norm rather than the exception?
  • What is the one thing you love about your body that has nothing to do with how it looks to others?
