A pair of nudists made an appearance on a British daytime show to talk about their unconventional lifestyle. Pam Fraser and Mark Bass sat on the sofa, totally naked, and spoke about why they embrace nudity, despite the age-old stigma attached to it. Naturist Mark Bass explains why nudity is so liberating for him and others like him: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/rsUdgktR-Q0L14jDU.mp4||rsUdgktR]] Speaking to hosts Eamonn Holmes and Rochelle Humes, Bass <a href="https://twitter.com/thismorning/status/1238426220943065088">explained</a>: "I think it’s about seeking that acceptance… we’ve got a lot of people that are feeling intimidated by society because of how they look. If you go to a naturist event you’ll encounter people that might be wearing a colostomy bag, or have got major surgical scars, or who have had mastectomies, and these are areas of society where, we kind of marginalize people because they don’t match a perfect body type, and so actually just being accepted for who you are, becomes really important." <img class="wp-image-12586528 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/03/6af11f45-screen-shot-2020-03-13-at-16.06.48.jpg" alt="" width="675" height="283" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: ITV]] Fraser <a href="https://twitter.com/thismorning/status/1238426220943065088">explained</a> why naturism is about "respect" rather than voyeurism": "I’ll be honest, it’s not that sort of environment… A lot of people, when they’re first attempting to come to an event and try out naturism, they look at everybody’s eyes or above their heads, and it lasts for maybe about five minutes but then kind of comes back from that. Respect is really high… I personally could go to a [nudist] event with 500 people, and I get treated with better respect than I do if I went on a night out in Preston, where I live." But not all the viewers were so convinced by their lifestyles, with one writing on Twitter: "Omfgg nudists on #ThisMorning. Put me off me sausage butty!! cheers for that belly's crying [sic]." Another said: "Naked attraction is moving to the 3 o'clock slot weekdays, how's this allowed on this morning at this time #thismorning." However, some Twitter users joined the discussion to defend the idea behind naturism. One user wrote: "People have the wrong idea about naturists, we are a Naturist family, people need understanding, being naked isn't wrong what's wrong is people don't know the difference in sexual and nudism, you may not be a Naturist and still be the biggest pervert out there. Naturism isn't porn [sic]."
