"and the presence of any type of notice or warning message on the door."

I don't warn people about meeting a naked person. The whole concept that other people need to be warned promotes the concept that even seeing other humans is dangerous or harmful. Signs designation nudist areas should be positive and inviting, not a warning. "Entering unrestricted clothing optional area. You may take off your clothing. Welcome to enjoy our sunshine."

We all need to stop "warning" people. Language matters.

We need to stop vilifying sexual thoughts and attraction. I can be naked in my apartment all by myself, but I long to be naked among other naked people. While there may not be any actual sexual contact, just SEEING other naked people gives my brain a feeling of comfort. I have no social contacts anywhere like that, I do long for such things. There should be NO laws against nudity by government agencies. Public nudity should be totally legal. I could say lots about this (I am 'long winded'), but I absolutely think that it would promote better mental health if public nudity was a common thing.
