> And I like my space free of other naked people. How sad. I wonder what the deep problem is. Religious, cultural, something more serious. Imagine not being able to go to a sauna, or shower in public, because of a fear of people.

How does a preference become fear? I am not afraid of other naked people, but I have had it once too many that certain people in e.g. a hotel sauna (for context, this was in some boutique hotel in Southern Germany) do not respect personal space, and the whole sauna naked thing becomes performative and annoying. Once the nut-sack of a 160kg weighing Bavarian man makes a near hit with your chin as the man tries to climb over you to the bench at the back... anyway. I found this with a significant amount of the naked sauna goers t.b.h. the claim of additional health benefits has been thrown at me, which is such obvious bullshit, it merely emphasizes the performativeness of it all.

  Absolutely not trying to minimise your experience, but I found it really funny somehow how different (and still same) human life truly is depending on where you were born and how you have lived. I've never had a 160 kg Bavarian nutsack in front of my face, but I've regularly gotten my face full of ass or nether regions because my university group has a small mobile sauna on a trailer, where anyone at the back moving past the others will necessarily shove their nethers in the others' faces. At some point I forgot to even think about it. Human lives are so different, but nutsacks are basically still all the same. I hope you can one day forgive the Bavarian for their swinging sacks and overenthusiasm for the top seat.

>> And I like my space free of other naked people > How sad. I wonder what the deep problem is. Religious, cultural, something more serious. Imagine not being able to go to a sauna, or shower in public, because of a fear of people. It's not sad. It's very fucking annoying. The deep problem is some people are just like that. Religious? No. Cultural? No. Something more serious? Yes. Imagine not being able to go to a sauna. Ok, done that, now what? Imagine not being able to shower in public. Ok, done that, now what? "Because of a fear of people". Ah! I didn't know I had a 'social anxiety' (because everyone has 'something', these days), but it turns out I have, and it can be seen (at various times, to varying degrees), throughout my life. Many people don't so much have a problem with naked people, it's often just 'people', and the 'situation'. Try reading (several sources) about agoraphobia. It's not always as clean cut as you kind of unknowingly make it out to be. You ever been to a war zone? I have - with bullets and tanks and mines and ugly death and living badly in holes and showering and shitting in front of others, and other good-for-the-grandkids stories. Somehow, I absolutely fucking loved it, and would go again tomorrow, *though drones nowadays add a new, and very game-changing perspective. Would you come with me, and we can do all the being naked together you want? Are you one of those people that struts around public showers like a lonely peacock, and tries engaging people there in conversation? Actual nudity may not always be the issue. Cunts, and situations, often are.
