“DeAnza Springs Resort (California) . . . we thoroughly enjoyed following the trail that weaved in and out of the nearby abandoned railway.  You have to get the timing right as a mid-afternoon walk on a 100+ degree afternoon would probably lose its charm pretty fast.” - https://meanderingnaturist.wordpress.com/2015/08/

“If a friend or family member will join you in your bare-chestedness, awesome.  Strength in numbers.  Even if your friends don’t wish to go bare-chested, ask them to come along and act normally in the presence of your bare-chestedness.” - https://breastsarehealthy.wordpress.com/2016/06/19/how-to-go-bare-chested-without-creating-a-stir/

“Scientists have just told women to stop wearing bras, and it wasn’t for National No Bra Day on October 13th.  Apparently, going without a bra promotes more tone and supporting breast tissue and wearing a bra from a young age does not help support the chest, reduce back pain or prevent breast sagging.  Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sport science researcher and professor at the University of Franche-Comte in the eastern town of Besançon, conducted a 15-year study on the effect of bras on 330 women aged 18 to 35.  His team of researchers found that the women who did not wear bras have perkier breasts.  In the study, women that stopped wearing bras – through choice, not as a requirement of the study – had a 7-millimeter (0.3-inch) lift in their nipples when compared with regular bra users.  Bras, they claim, could hamper circulation and reduce breast tone over time. . .Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity.  On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra.” - http://www.davidwolfe.com/stop-wearing-bras/?platform=hootsuite

“We're used to seeing men's bare chests in public, but a century ago that was roughly as scandalous as a woman's bare chest today . . . At some point, men insisted on their right to bare their chests, and over the course of a generation, it has become the new normal.  Hopefully the same will happen for women.  It will just take time.” - Alethea Andrews, Outdoor Co-Ed Topless Fiction Appreciation Society, http://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a15636/women-topless-in-public/
