It depends on the person and the setting - some people "leak" more than others, and it's often circumstantial. The towel rule is clearly a good general practice, but I don't treat it as a hard and fast rule at home including for my friends, but the places I sit regularly have something easily washable in place.
I think I am also a 'cleanliness freak' as are a few of my nudist friends. Another issue, is that Textiles who use public transport or cafes and restaurants, have no idea of who has sat on the seat earlier and left sticky fingers, icecream or chocolate etc behind. (excuse the pun). We have light coloured fabric chair covering in the house and they are starting to look very shabby from Textiles! So a towel is ALWAYS a wise idea.
When you talk about the towels that nudist carry around with them to sit on, how do you know which side they had against their bottom at the last stop? Could be defeating the purpose if it gets flipped around each time. LOL!
Good observation. However, a bare bottom, even if clean, can act like a suction cup on smooth surfaces such as leather or vinyl. Unless you're hopelessly germophobic, that towel adds another layer of sanitation.
i have thought about this "which side up" issue before. my plan, should i ever open my own nudist B&B, would be to offer guests a two-toned towel, one side darker than the other. say blue: light blue on one side and dark blue on on the other. (wouldn't work so well with black, of course.) then each person would be on for remembering which side for them is "up" and which side is "down." were there more nudists who needed such a solution, there would be a market for such towels i would think.
Body oils can present quite a cleaning problem over time! I recently had some wood floors refinished, and the floor guy told me we should never walk on the wood floors barefoot!!! He said over time oils from our feet would dull the finish and even cause it to wear out sooner. So now I am "naked-with-socks" and always grab a towel before sitting naked - on the floor!
