Clearly there are some matching aspects. But the drug-free bit doesn't really match up.

There is etiquette, but that's very different from there being a known issue with nudity and hygiene. There might be a perceived issue, but that's far from establishing it as fact.

Has anyone ever caught a disease from sitting on the same furniture as someone nude? Given the number of nudists, if there was a significant problem, you'd think there would be lots of known cases. And with beachwear (and swimwear) being so minimal, is there really any real difference between sitting on chairs recently occupied by nudists, and sitting on chairs occupied by people wearing thong bikinis?

This catching diseases from nude people looks a bit of an emotional, not a factual, response to me.

If I put my hand in some spit or chewing gum then I'm sure I wouldn't catch any diseases, that doesn't mean it's acceptable or hygienic. I'm not a doctor, I can't proclaim to know the complexities of hygiene but I would think it's common sense.

There is a difference between someone wearing a thong and someone being completely exposed. I don't think I need to spell that out.

I used the word etiquette, the clubs I looked into are actually very strict about it. Here's a specific requirement from one club "Bring a towel, nudists always sit on their own towel for reasons of hygiene". Clearly it is an issue. Imagine trying to impose strict regulations about cleanliness in the real world, outside the comfort of a resort. It's completely impractical.

That's because people have old-fashioned attitudes. Some people don't like sitting beside big "tough looking" hairy men, gossiping teenagers, people with large numbers of piercings in odd places, etc.. That's their own issue and no reason to ban big "tough looking" hairy men, gossiping teenagers, and people with piercings from public locations.

My first experience of public nudity was attending a music festival in my early teens. It only took days before it become completely natural to see people wandering around in the buff.

Old fashioned attitudes or not, I shouldn't have to accept a naked man rubbing up against me on a train, or anywhere else. I said it earlier but I'll say it again, I would not only feel uncomfortable, I'd feel a little disturbed, even violated, in that situation. Many people (particularly women) would feel the same way. It's a natural reaction.
