WTF Wednesday: Further Evidence That Devo Were Correct

If you believe that humans came from a couple of white people made out of dirt by an old white guy with a long flowing beard (that’s so much whiteness, you guys), then you also believe that we started out naked. After all, according to sources (The Bible, our grandparents, etc), it was Eve’s sudden shame after biting into an apple (or pomegranate, if you also believe Pom Wonderful is a credible historical source) that marked our first “great” leap forward from naive hippies to cynical, clothed misanthropes.

Over the years, our sartorial selections have become more sophisticated, but so has our comfort with being nude and seeing nudity, contributing to a belief from some quarters that we have already reached our apex and are now on the downward slope of Mt. Evolution. The internet certainly has helped, what with the accessibility of porn and the advent of 21st century gimmicks like the Naked News (warning: NSFW).

Now self-styled “therapist” (she may actually have credentials that back up this title; I just can’t find any mention of them on her website) Sarah White is taking things a bit further and making internet nudity both more interactive and (supposedly) high-brow. Ms. White offers live one-on-one therapy sessions while she strips throughout the session as part of her therapeutic process. While she does try to explain the “science” behind this and expound upon the benefits it entails, I’m not sure I’m sold.

But who knows; perhaps she can help an entire generation of men figure out why they’re so obsessed with looking at strange naked women on the compu—wait, nevermind.  You guys can be the judge. (While the contents of the site could technically be termed SFW, I would still wait until I’m on my own machine to explore her site. Some bosses might be cooler with lots of skin and strategically-placed laptops than others.)

This pic was taken during a winter charity run in Budapest (temperatures were around 5 degrees Celsius or 41 degrees Fahrenheit). I like how the guy in front is so excited, and he just can’t hide it.
