Helen, a member of the Naturist Foundation, argues that people can sunbathe naked in public, while branding and culture expert Nick Ede says it’s a “selfish” thing to do.
“With all the things going on in the world right now, do we mind a naked body sunbathing in a quiet corner of the park?” Helen asked. “There’s still a lot going on that we can take care of.”

Nick disagreed, arguing that some members of the public might be offended by nudity. “I have a problem with that because I think it’s a very selfish thing,” he said. “It’s about you and your empowerment and I totally understand body positivity, which I think is amazing. But you don’t take into account other people in that environment who can be a little overstimulating. move or find it offensive.”

However, other viewers joined the debate, with one person tweeting: “There’s a reason nudist camps exist. You shouldn’t be nude in your everyday life,” while another said. Another offered a solution: “They should have areas where people can sunbathe naked, that way both sides of the coin are comfortable and safe.”
