Summary

How comfortable are you with nudity? Today, we’re speaking to Helen Berriman - who has been a naturist for the last four years - after reluctantly being introduced to it by her husband.

Helen explained the difference between naturism and nudism, she ran through all the practicalities with us and debunked the misconception that naturism is about sex.

We spoke about how being naked can have a huge positive impact on our body image - and the transformational effect being a naturist has had helping Helen to heal from past trauma. We also confront our personal concerns around safety - and consider our own boundaries when it comes to nudity.

0:00.0	We've got a note on the door saying natureist may answer the door.
0:06.3	Oh wow. So you're happy to. So when Deliveroo come, hi. Really? Oh my gosh. Wow.
0:12.9	Hello, welcome back to Should I Delete that? I'm Im Clarkson. I'm Alex Light.
0:16.1	And today we've got a natureist on the podcast. What a hoot. First time for everything.
0:21.6	I am so excited about this episode.
0:24.7	I, on a whim in Costa Rica, I was like, God, natureism is fascinating.
0:29.4	I would love to talk to one.
0:30.8	Set it to Fay in passing, and next thing I know.
0:33.1	Fay worked her magic.
0:34.3	Yeah.
0:34.9	We are straight off the back of recording this and we are giddy because it was such a good interview.
0:41.2	Frustrating to do the outro intro thing as we give you our sort of opinions before you hear from Helen.
0:46.5	But I do want to have a conversation at the top of this episode about maybe our preconceptions, misconceptions and what we're kind of feeling towards the, the whole situation now?
0:56.5	I had a lot of misconceptions. We did research on our, on our brilliant guest, Helen Berriman,
1:03.8	but my knowledge of natureism was very limited. And I think, and we talked about this in the
1:08.6	episode, but like, I really did conflate
1:10.9	natureism with sex and nudism and exhibitionism. And I thought they were very much one and
1:17.9	the same. And they are not. No. No. They are really not. And Helen is very strong in
1:24.5	explaining that that is completely separate, which did surprise me.
1:30.0	Yeah. I think I feel two things, probably similar to how I went into it, I think I feel
1:37.5	coming out of it only with a bit of a murkier bit in between. I think the idea of what she does,
