Personally, I've tried nudist bathing, and I much prefer having a layer of protection between my crotch and rocks, sharp shells, and the sun.

You're missing the forest. The point is that people choose to cover certain parts of themselves, even if they are just laying on a towel sunbathing.

Do you really want some of the most sensitive parts of your body directly (minus some atmospheric particles) exposed to the sun's harsh photons?

However, unless the article is making some absurd metaphor, the points above stand.
