I can’t help but think some guy’s realizing his weird fetish by showing his junk to unsuspecting people on the internet in the name of history education. The visualization is definetely helpful, as otherwise I wouldn’t be able to imagine this, but maybe a drawn image would have been more fitting.
Wh... Why... Why not just wear pants? I know it was ancient times, but didn't they have something? Briefs, a diaper? Anything seems better than stripping your dick to your neck.
They were naked when practicing athletics. I don't know if it was a cultural thing or an actual lack of good options for sportswear, but I'll bet you can find out with 5 minutes of searching online. My bet is it was just a cultural thing.
There are peoples in New Guinea where the men walk around with their penis attached to a cord tied around their waist. I had assumed the cord was tied to the head of their penis, but in fact the foreskin was tied around the cord. Hard to fathom for a circumcision victim like myself.
This reminds me of a time when I was drunk, and said to my mate "Hey, wanna go run naked on the streets?" and he said "obviously". So we were running naked in the middle of the night back and forward along the street, and another mate looks out the window, shakes his head and says "you idiots, without me?". And he also stripped naked, jumped out of the window and joined us. Good times.
What? Tech? Who cares. Why do we do this to ourselves ? Just get out and do something. Don’t over think it. Don’t make it worse with pointless guilt trips that really don’t add anything to the end goal. Wear a watch, or don’t… and I don’t care if you double back to get one just cuz you want or need it. That shouldn’t be the thing here. You do it the way you need to.
just so long as you’re getting outside and looking after yourself. That’s the goal here.
Running with music can mess up ypur pacing reducing the effectiveness of your training or workput. This only matters as much as this activity matters to you overall.
I got a lot faster running distances after I started leaving my Sony Sports Walkman at home granted those actually had weight to them.
This only matters as much as this activity matters to you overall.
You can speak for you only.
some people struggle just to get outside. and that matters. And it’s not about running faster. That isn’t the goal for everyone.
You dont need to elitist it up to dismiss any effort to do something healthy for themselves.
It matters overall if they even make the effort music or not.
We don’t need imposing unnecessary rules on something that should be simplified to just make the effort not win a race.
Not everything needs to be a competition to matter. To each their own.
I played naked frisbee on the front lawn of my college once. I thought it would be effortless but in fact it's extremely painful to have your nuts bouncing around unsupported like that. But I kept at it until the Dean of Students came up to me and asked me to put my clothes back on because it was prospective weekend and there were a bunch of high school students with their parents standing off to one side. I thought I was accurately representing what the college was all about but he thought otherwise.
I felt bad years later when I found out the Dean's brother had been murdered in Mississippi during the civil rights era (they even made a Hollywood movie about this incident). He must have felt great knowing his brother had been killed fighting for black people, and he was busy making stupid white boys put their pants back on.

I had a similar discovery about kickboxing practice and boxers. It's not fun when you're holding a thigh pad for your partner to practice kicking, and you realize that your legs can transmit energy, much like a newton's cradle.
All top results on DuckDuckGo for naked running are about the literal meaning of it. Is it actually used as a term for tech-free (but clothed) running? Press X to doubt.
I'd call it "rawdog running" if anything, but that doesn't sound right either.
I always run without music! I love the mindfulness of just being aware of my surroundings!
I guess this would very much depend on where you run, though. I would never run on a treadmill without music or a podcast, and running next to traffic would probably also be bad without listening to something.
It's strange, when I sync up my gait to the tempo of the music, I don't feel as tired during the run. It seems to help me keep going without feeling like I'm going to drop.
Running with music or podcasts has been great for me! To each their own. No guilt here for doing cardio and making it more bearable! Any movement is a win
I stopped running with music when I ran a half marathon once and about 17km in I just started getting annoyed by it. I'm out there dying, and some asshole is screaming into my ears.
Idk, I enjoy running by itself. I ran a full marathon without music and didn't get bored once. I'd either just enjoy myself, think about random stuff, look around me, play music / sing in my mind etc. But to each their own I guess.
I've never run with music. It appears to me, to be a pretty dangerous activity in an urban environment. I've had a few near misses 'naked'. Music while running has never really interested me anyway. I'm 55 so maybe that's why...
Music really helps with interval running ( If that's the correct word, I have English as second language), just load up a playlist with fitting tempos and then just follow the rhythm.
I prefer to hear the sounds of nature though, but not all live as rural as I
They do a naked run every semester at Berkeley the week before finals. Its called dead week, where there's no classes, and its a time for students to cram for their exams, or, you know, run naked around campus.
