	Description:		Mandy Goodhandy and Todd Klinck chat with Bert Bik, one of the founders of TNT!MEN (Totally naked Toronto men enjoying nudity) http://www.tntmen.org Bert Bik is a profound man: an activist, a leader, a spiritual person. “I have no shame about my body or anybody else’s body,” he says. “We were all created beautifully, and that’s basically what it’s all about. Clothes have two purposes: to enhance what we already have and to give us warmth. That’s it. In most societies, kids are taught that they should cover up. It causes a lot of shame issues: You should be ashamed when you get your first pubic hair, when you get your first wet dream. But there’s nothing to be ashamed about because that’s how we were created. Our group has allowed people to see other people naked and to realize that there’s nothing wrong with it. There is a perception that if you are naked, there must always be a sexual element to it. But that’s not at all true. It’s like in any group: people want to be sexual, fine: go to a corner and have fun.” Also see: Todd Klinck's article on TNT!MEN in Xtra! magazine
