...secret fantasy where their peers gawk at, photograph or film their bodies. There are easier (read: warmer) ways to expose oneself. For example, certain residents of Leverett House were so enamored of their nudity that they proceeded to run naked through various rooms of McKlintock Hall after Primal Scream was over...
