Submissions

Thank you for your interest in submitting a story or comment to RejectShame.com.  Your personal submission could help others break free from shame.  For that purpose let me try to outline what we are looking for.

The main goal of this site is to challenge and change the preconceptions of those who believe nudity is wrong.  Reading that stories that just say nudity feels good is NOT going to change the preconception of those who think its wrong. It may even reinforce it as many things that some people say “feels good” such as drugs, ARE in fact wrong and harmful. There are good places to post stories about how enjoyable social nudity is, such as our sponsor clothesfree.com, but this is not one of them. 

What we are looking for is stories and comments that show the harm of body shame, that directly confront the preconception that non-sexual nudity is harmful. Stories or comments that show how rejecting body shame and becoming comfortable with nudity has benefited you or your family/friends, in a positive way and/or how other people may have reacted to your nudity when they learn of it.

More specifically, if comfort with non-sexual nudity has freed you from a struggle with body shame, self-image, lust/pornography, sexual perversion, etc, if it has helped you or family members/friends feel better about yourself, more confident, and accepting, sharing that can help others.  If you believe that comfort with non-sexual nudity has prevented OR helped decrease and/or heal the damage of child sexual abuse sharing that could be a very important help in protecting children.

If you personally know of comfort with nudity and sexuality helping to prevent or quickly stop child sexual abuse, and or helping to minimize or heal damage caused by it (even as an adult, such as my story, see the about us page.) please share it.  Those who oppose nudity because they believe it harms children, are absolutely right to be concerned about children.  I hope to show on this site that it is body shame that harms children (and adults) on many levels and that nudity, rather than harming, can be greatly beneficial.  Real, personal stories and comments help greatly in this effort. 

Also please try to keep the story short, if possible.  Thank you in advance for reading this and submitting your personal story or comment.  I believe that personal stories and comments are a powerful tool in helping people break free from shame and I look forward to adding it to the site.

Thanks Again
