Letter: Nature calls

If Kim Rutter could have brought herself to join in when she found herself inadvertently staying at a naturist camp-site in France she might have discovered why Europeans in their millions find innocent pleasure in social nudity ("Please don't show me yours", Real Life, 5 May). In the right setting, and company, naturism brings a unique sense of freedom and well-being, a feeling at one with nature and liberated from the constraints of uncomfortable clothing. After all, the only reason for wearing a wet swimsuit is if everyone else is.
