Naked landmark

[LupusDei]

(Public nudity fetish with no sex, or little sex somewhere in periphery, and yes, probably usable as National Nude Day contest idea.)

Eccentric college professor suggests a class to run a social experiment to test "power of conformity" (or some other babble to be more accurately specified).

What the students come up with is to try to induce random strangers to take naked selfies at a minor, but tourists well visited landmark. One not far away, but not too nearby.

How they do that is by having a dozen students, mostly girls, to seemingly spontaneously strip at the location, and have partially scripted, partially improvised conversations with each other to "convince" each other to strip, complete with made up reasons, like some invented legend or tradition prescribing such, but they are not supposed to actively try to strip strangers, however, they are allowed to answer questions. If bystanders overheard their conversations, observe their actions and decide to act similarly, that's the success. Other students then would attempt to unobtrusively interview those who did, some who very certainly didn't, and some others, going over a premade questionnaire.

The initial experiment, being official college project is cleared with law enforcement and thus not to be interfered with, and/or the nudity rules in the area aren't all that strict.

The performance is mostly successful. Perhaps the start is jarring, but on the second or third round of "spontaneous" stripping of the same students and observing the public during the first tries paying off, it becomes increasingly easy to get strangers to follow suit.

The after action interviews, especially those done with people still nude, may lead to some new friends or more, but that's highly optional.

They write their report. Basically, that the scam worked, a number of random strangers did strip, some of them claiming that they never have done anything alike before, but that any conclusions are inconclusive. They get great grades.

A week or so later some of them happen to go by the landmark, and to their amazement they do observe some naked selfies still happening there. That sparks the idea in a smaller group that had caught the exhibitionism bug to try other informal activities spreading nudity around.

For a simplified setup, a private group buys or establishes a landmark site and posts notices declaring it an "unclothed zone". If for a school project as you said, especially in a private college, that zone could be located on-campus.

For fun, the college is a religious seminary. I'll propose the Southern California School of Theology (SCST), adjacent to the elite, private Claremont Colleges university group. I recall an SCST assignment to rewrite Genesis from the serpent's POV. Let's have a naked Adam & Eve Garden's fruit trees infested with talking reptiles, the garden tended by a cadre of nude Liliths.

For other fun, a no-clothes landmark belongs to E Clampus Vitus, a storied California drinking society that commemorates distilleries, brothels, opium dens, train wrecks, and doggerel poets. A sign at the hedge-surrounded naked garden announces, Abandon Morality & Sobriety, All Who Venture Here.

I recall an SCST assignment to rewrite Genesis from the serpent's POV. Let's have a naked Adam & Eve Garden's fruit trees infested with talking reptiles, the garden tended by a cadre of nude Liliths.

Years ago I wrote a "Book of Genesis" fan fiction that this site declined to publish. Adam and Lilith were not seeing eye to eye and God wanted his children (the brother and sister) to be happy so he thought that three might be the magic number. Adam and Eve didn't know that they were nude, but noticed that they had complimentary parts. Lil' got all sulky thinking that her father loved her brother more than her-- you know how kids are sometimes. So he took one of her ribs and created a brother for her-- a guy who became nicknamed "Snake" due to a certain noticeable physical attribute.

Adam kinda pissed off God by pointing out that if Eve (a girl) came from his rib and Steve (a boy) came from Lilith's rib it just didn't make sense scientifically. God simply explained that science hadn't been invented yet-- but Adam suspected that ol' dad got where he took the ribs from mixed up. This non acceptance of parental authority led to a tiff and Adam storming off. Eve followed him-- women do that, ya know-- to the Land of Nod after a great session of group sex with her brother and sister followed by a whole bunch of yummy figs.

So Lilith and Steve (Snake) stayed behind in Eden and you know how it is with family-- they only write when there is a problem or minor disaster. Eden is a pretty bitchin' place, so they weren't heard from again. After being rejected for publication here the story was posted at a site that is more fan fiction oriented and one that is more author friendly.

A couple sequels followed about Seth and his two sisters / wives Azura and Aclima and their antics with Cain and LuLu... Brothers Shem, Ham, and Japheth celebrating the joy of surviving the flood and being alive with sisters Pandora, Noela, and Noegla...

But I got kicked off the author friendly site for writing "Carmen and the Devil" about the aftermath of the 1919 Elaine Massacre and I never finished an edit at the fan fiction site to make the story about Shem's sons-- Arpachshad (who married his sister Rasuah), and their sons Cainan (who married his aunt Mila) and Salah (who married Cainan's daughter Muzak)-- "acceptable."

And with that you simply remove the very core kink I'm even talking about.

The second or third chapter could be them stripping with intent to incite others to strip at an outdoors concert.

Maybe the title is misleading. It's not necessarily bound to a location, just I figured the social experiment angle would be convenient for genesis of the accidental shy exhibitionist group who then goes on to other misdeeds.

What this is about in a nutshell:

• a fairly large group of people without any or at least significant prior nudist experience assembled in fairly random way
• goes on to strip in public place where nudity is illegal or at least unexpected
• in a way that's intentionally designed to catch and carry bystanders along in that, in a somewhat concealed way
• and are apparently successful at least enough to be able to delude themselves that their actions made a lasting difference.

landmark site and posts notices declaring it an "unclothed zone".

Actually, it could meet or morph into creeping administrative nudity* kink with a possible sprinkle of reality editing if the notices declaring the landmark unclothed zone are found by the students afterwards, significant time afterwards the initial experiment. Maybe they're unremarkable and old looking, but the students are fairly sure they weren't there initially. Maybe they're able to confirm it's now indeed marked as official naturist zoning in town maps, but it's at least confusing when it had been established.

((* "creeping administrative nudity" is another kink of mine, but very different in character as it is at very least flirting with non-consenent, and/or could be seen as parody on state violence against citizens. In probably a purest form it would be, say, long ocean going cruise on a huge ship where most passengers had not been explicitly informed it is intended to go all nude experience eventually. At first it's all textile, except one sauna somewhere.

Then, the signs declaring clothing optional and then unwelcome or even forbidden outright gradually pop up all around the place, and then are moved around expanding those zones everyday, but not yet blanketing the ship entirely for something like two weeks.

The cognitive dissonance and arbitrariness of one end of a corridor being declared clothing free while similar corridor along the other side is still formally requiring strict cover ups for now (while either or both many or many not be enforced) is the core kink in that scenario, along with growing realization that the textile zones are going to be extinct shortly or at best reduced to cramped innards of the lower decks.

Another similar scenario would be a nudist resort gradually taking over a town, but if I would write that it couldn't have been published here for inclusion of a high school in it's entirety eventually.)
