I can see why birthrates peaked in the GDR in the early 70s...
After moving there, yeah nudity is more normalized, at least in places where nudity is expected. There are saunas in work buildings and coworkers can have business meetings in the sauna. I read somewhere that in the sauna, everyone is equal, something about removing all the symbols of status. Also when I go swimming, it was a shock that Finnish changing rooms are very public, everyone is just naked there. It was uncomfortable for me at first, but once you get over the hurdle of realizing no one gives a shit, we've all got bodies, it became quite freeing.
