Nudity is a topic that evokes many emotions in our society. I have long wondered why this is the case – why the body we have from birth is treated as something forbidden, even shameful. In the latest episode of my series The Art of Touch, I share my own experiences, reflections, and a conversation with Asia, in which we explore this fascinating yet challenging topic.
First Steps Towards Freedom
I remember stumbling upon a nudist beach during a vacation in Croatia. At first, I felt strange – dressed in briefs among people for whom nudity was natural. Eventually, I gathered the courage to take off those shorts. It was like shedding an invisible weight, like a breath of freedom. When I entered the water, I felt as if I had returned to my mother’s womb – pure, free, real.
This experience made me realize how separated we are from our bodies and how many barriers we impose on ourselves.
Why Are We Afraid of Nudity?
In a conversation with Asia, we ponder why nudity has become a taboo subject. Is it religion, upbringing, or culture? After all, for a child, the body is natural, even fascinating. It is we, adults, who program shame by saying: “Don’t touch yourself there”, “Cover up”, “Put something on, because it’s inappropriate”.
Over time, we transfer this shame onto ourselves and others. As a result, the body becomes something to hide, and nudity – something forbidden. Yet, it is in nudity that the truth about ourselves lies.
Working with Nudity as Therapy
One of the steps that helped me understand myself and my body was working with touch. Massages, such as tantra or Lomi Lomi, provide an opportunity to confront nudity in a safe space. It is a process that requires time and respect – both for oneself and the therapist.
I understood that nudity is neither sexual nor shameful. It is a space of freedom and acceptance. When we allow ourselves to feel touch on bare skin, we begin to rebuild the connection with the body and release the emotions we carry within it.
I Invite You to Reflect

Does nudity make you uncomfortable? Or is it a space where you find freedom? If you want to delve into these topics, I invite you to workshops and individual sessions. All information about the courses can be found on my websites:
Nudity is not shame. It is a truth we can discover – at our own pace and in harmony with ourselves.
