One of the biggest concerns people have regarding nude sports, particularly
running is that of personal health and comfort. More particularly
people ask,
"Doesn't that Hurt"?
To those who have never tried nude running,
the sight of flopping genitals looks painful, but the the truth is,
"Not really"!
Nature has designed
the human body to function quite well without clothes and through-out times
many cultures have functioned quite well without clothing and some still
do today! My personal observation is that,
"Nude running
is good for you"!
Not only is running good for you, but
running nude is even better! (Weather and law permitting).
When wearing restrictive clothes (e.g.. a jock) the genitals are kept in
a tight, non-moving position, which restricts the blood flow to them.
I have observed that wearing a jock causes the head (meatus) of my penis
to come pale, purple color - from lack of blood flow. Conversely,
I have observed that when running naked the head (meatus) of my penis becomes
a nice, pink hue, indicating
"Increased
blood flow to the genitals"!
The natural movement
is not only beneficial in terms of blood flow, but in terms of lymph flow,
which is greatly increased by movement of the body, in general. This
benefits the male genitals and the female breast. The wearing of
the bra has been shown to increase the incident of cancer through restricted
lymph flow. Running nude results in an-
"Increased lymph
flow to genitals and breast"!
With out cramming
the genital into a confining jock they are better cooled. Several
studied have shown that improved fertility rates and lower incidents of
cancer are benefits of -
"Keeping the genitals
cooler".
Finally, running
nude is just plain fun and less expensive! I feel much better when
I get to run nude! Because one's state of mind plays such an important
part of ones health there is no discounting the,
"Physiological
boost of running nude"!
