Study: Rhode Island Residents Love Being Naked

How confident am I being naked? I'd give myself a solid 1.5 out of 10. Not comfortable at all, I don't even want my reflection to see me. Going to the doctor's for a physical takes weeks of getting myself mentally prepared. Actually, after talking this out maybe I'm more of a 0.5 out of 10?

Bespoke Surgical surveyed over 3,000 people across the country to find out how confident people in different states are with their nakedness.

Massachusetts scored pretty high with a score of 4.9. Maine is a little less confident in the buff, scoring a 4.6. New Hampshire ended up with a strong 5.0. All of us paled in comparison to Rhode Island though, who scored a whopping 5.7!

Only one state has more confidence in shedding the clothing than Rhode Island. Washington edged Rhode Island out of the top spot by only 0.1! That's a tiny piece of confidence! Washington topped the nation with an overall score of 5.8.

Hey, since we're talking about confidence with nakedness, it's an easy transition to talk about..... skinny dipping!
