Software Firm Looking To Hire Naked Coders 369
Nude House, a Buckinghamshire computer software and naturist company, is looking for coders who aren't afraid to let a few Cheetos fall where no Cheetos have fallen before. The company would like to become the first all nude tech business. From the article: "Company spokesman Chris Taylor told The Register: 'As far as I am aware this is not only the first UK office job for naturists in web-coding or web-selling, but is also the first worldwide facility for naturists to earn substantial sums of money from work that incidentally provides them with the capability to work entirely without clothes.'"

Some companies will do anything to get a little publicity. Oh look, it worked.

Seriously though, part of the point of naturism is to demystify the human body and de-sexualize nudity.
Given that the guy specifically wants to hire female coders, I have my doubts about his motivations in this case.

The problem with everyone being naked is that our bodies shed a lot of icky stuff all the time that is normally contained in our clothes. Smell the crotch of your pants next time you take them off. Do you want your office chairs to smell like that? I think most men would admit that they sometimes leak a bit after going to the loo.
Naturalists often put down a small towel to sit on for that reason. It doesn't make sense to me, why not just put some boxers on and get a bit of support and comfort if you need to carry a (probably rather icky) towel around with you? I suppose it must be a philosophical consideration rather than a practical one.
