Fighting and Flirting While Naked

A Guide to Arguing, Laughing, and Accidentally Falling in Love Without Wearing Pants

Kristin Williams did not set out to become an expert in naked conflict. She just kept taking her clothes off and telling the truth at the same time.

At 38, living outside Seattle with a Volvo full of towels and a Persian cat who has seen too much, Kristin has learned that nudity does not make people calmer, kinder, or more evolved. It just removes the hiding places. People still fight. They still flirt. They still get jealous, defensive, insecure, and weird. They just do it with their butts out.

This book is a collection of true stories and hard earned lessons from nude beaches, hotel rooms, living rooms, and friendships that have survived yelling, laughter, awkward silences, and the occasional towel snap. Kristin writes about dating men who cannot handle boundaries, best friends who fight loudly and love harder, jealousy that shows up with sunburn, and why passive aggression fails spectacularly when there is nothing left to conceal.

Along the way, she breaks down what nudity teaches about communication, confidence, and vulnerability, without pretending it is all serene or enlightened. It is funny, messy, blunt, and deeply human.

This is not a book about being sexy or spiritual. It is a book about being honest. Sometimes painfully so. Sometimes hilariously so. Always bare.

Clothes optional. Feelings unavoidable.
