Does nudity = honesty?

that's a myth, a non-truth.

I bet you had to say that while wearing clothes tho
naked you'd have had to admit it's validity!

Nudity is no big deal to me. If I meet someone who likes to hang out naked and play video games, or cards, or dance, they are more likely to get more frequent invites than a similar person who doesn't want to get naked before we do those things.

When I was in college, a friend of mine who was also an artist's model was scheduled to pose nude for a painting class' final exam at the university. She had been caught cheating on her boyfriend with his best friend a month earlier, and the recent ex-boyfriend had started dating a new woman who hated her intensely, both of whom were in the class and had to paint her for the final exam. Did her nudity in the class make her more honest towards either of them or anyone else in the class? No it didn't, but it sure would have been entertaining.

In Finland a lot of business and cabinet meetings are conducted in the sauna. I think a certain bonding and reading of body language takes place, certainly. And yes, there is not a segregation of the sexes for them. It would be different if you had some sort of extended family scenario where you wanted the boys and girls kept separate in their teens and beyond.

oops, I don't think that has anything to do with promotion of truth-telling, sadly.

When I first met my roommate to be at college I was "stirred" as he was drop-dead, movie star gorgeous and I assumed what was covered was of the same quality. You can imagine my surprise and delight when I noted that he slept in the nude; I retired my own pajamas to the chest drawer immediately. We bonded quickly and deeply and when I thanked him for bringing my laundry up from the mail room with his own I added, " I could kiss you for that." HIs quiet reply was, "Would you?" That was all the invitation I needed and we were launched on a fantastic sexual relationship. I learned that he was as hungry for my body as I was for his.

I am not the seducer type but he did admit to me that he hoped I would respond to his nudity. For the rest of my time in college I never tired of feasting my eyes on that beauty and knowing that he was my loving friend.

The sex ended when I graduated but the love that prompted two years of fantastic sex has endured to this day. He is now in his eighties and remains to me, and I assume to his lifelong male partner also, a sexully attractive person.

I may be completely off the mark here, but I think some people are reading WAY more into this question than what was intended. I don't think this was posted to start a debate on the psychology of lying, and why people do it. But the truth is, some people are comfortable being completely open about everything with every body, but when you're naked around someone you're already vulnerable. If you're comfortable being naked around someone, friend, spouce, wahtever, then I suppose it's likely your also comfortable enough with them to be open in other areas in your life. That doesn't mean that the serial killers gonna suddenly tell all, or that the pathological lyar's gonna have a complete change of heart, toi use two other people examples, but I think nudity can help break the ice between people.

I have visited many nudist clubs, both with my wife and alone. I have always been glad to know that these "new" friends accepted me much quicker than they would have in clothed venues. I believe that when you're there with it "all out there", it is much harder to pretend you're someone different from whom you really are.

I have heard women mention the size of their "tits" and have heard men joke about the differences in cock size. It is their way of saying "I know you have looked at what I've got, and it doesn't make any difference!"

Have you heard of Nude Encounter Groups, in which everyone who participates is totally naked the whole time. I was once in an experimental group like this and I can definitely confirm that I felt more free to tell my true feelings when the lady sitting across from me was totally naked.

I have discovered nudity couple years ago. I enjoy interacting with people in the nude. I believe the contact is more sincere, yes. Nothing sexual though, just more liberated

I love this topic and wish that I had published my Masters in Psychology thesis on, "Birthday Suit Therapy" based on the premise that stripped of our guises, we are more authentic, showing up more real and honest. My research supported the premise.
