We've been throwing around the word recession in connection with the US economy for some time now — everything from recession-proof jobs to recession-proof beauty is common vocabulary.

When it comes to body image issues, it's safe to say that many of us have trouble accepting our bodies as they are. For every positive influence there seems to be one negative, which makes it even more difficult to believe that perfection is an unattainable and unproductive goal.

I find the concept of donning pajamas and cuddling with strangers far creepier than the idea of hooking up with one stranger. (Not that I would do that, oh heavens, no!) Would you ever get into PJs, follow elaborate "no inappropriate touching" rules, and cuddle with a bunch of strangers?
