Enclothed Cognition

Well, I'm back and it's positive news. Now I can enjoy the weekend, stress free. And naked, of course! Here's a great article in Mel magazine that corroborates the whole preference for stripping off the confinement.

WHY YOU RIP OFF YOUR CLOTHES WHEN YOU GET HOME FROM WORK

Who knew there was an actual name for this, and a study! Researchers Hajo Adam and Adam Galinsky, say it's called "enclothed cognition." What we wear has a psychological effect. “We argue that just like physical experiences, the experience of wearing clothes triggers associated abstract concepts and their symbolic meanings. … When a piece of clothing is worn, it exerts an influence on the wearer’s psychological processes by activating associated abstract concepts.” Well, I don't think there's any real news to that.

Author Magdalene Taylor quotes a nudist, “Perhaps because you realize you have the opportunity and option to remove them,” says Steve, 54, a nudist in Boston. “[It’s] almost like peeling off the burden(s) of the day as you get to your comfort zone.”

And, “Clothes become uncomfortable the instant you put them on, and they become even more so as the day wears on,” says Bill, a dad based in Texas.

Yep.

 

Have a terrific holiday weekend (for those in the U.S.).

You'll find me here:

Take Notice

Guys spend their lives dealing with erections at all times of the day and night. At some point we finally face it: Boners happen.

The cock doesn't care where we are, what we're doing. The worst thing a guy can do is ignore it. 

I'm not suggesting dudes drop trou right where they are, I'm simply saying they should take notice; the harder it gets, the better. It is nature's way of keeping the tissues healthy.

Notice them. 

Embrace them.

Never be ashamed or embarrassed.

*******************************************

I will be gone most of, if not all, next week for medical reasons. I hope to return by Friday. Have a good weekend. Have a good week.

Embrace It

Have a glory-filled day.

It can happen any time, any place.

When it does, you may as well embrace it.

Enormous

A laugh to get you over the hump.

You're welcome.

Against Naked Men

 

Speaking of public nudity....

...and law enforcement "looking the other way." The son of a friend took a road trip with a couple of his buddies last weekend. They made a rest stop out in the middle of nowhere, as the saying goes. They were in the desert area, no houses or businesses in sight, when one of the guys decided he needed to pee. Maybe that's why they stopped in the first place.

There's a bush right next to him but, remember, they're out in the desert - there's no one around. Except for a lone Highway Patrol car that comes over the rise of the hill. There the guy is with his cock in his hand.

Busted. The patrolman issued him a citation of indecent exposure and public urination. Now, how ridiculous can things get? As my friend commented, "How can it be public urination when there's no public to see it?"

I would venture to suggest there are damn few guys who haven't stopped alongside the road to pee. Good god, Google "public pissing" and the results shouldn't surprise anyone.

I'd even be willing to bet that patrolman has done it during the course of his work.

What is this thing society has

against naked men?
