“As far as I can remember, I've always slept in the nude. When I was 19, I got my own apartment, it didn't take very long for me to get lazy and not get dressed when I got up. So nude I stay until time to leave. I got so used to it that I striped down as soon as I walked back in. At the age of 28 I meet my wife. We spent lots of time together naked . . . I can now be nude around our home all I want, keeping a housecoat close by case one of the kids or anybody shows up unexpected.” - OilcanJack

"I try to drive naked as often as I can in the warm weather.  Living in New England the seasons do limit you somewhat.  But when I do drive naked I have found that no one really even looks at you for the most part.  I don't think people can see you inside.  I have a smaller SUV, but there are many more vehicles higher than mine, especially big trucks.  It's a great feeling of freedom." – Dalancino

"I'm naked in our backyard about 99% of the time.  The other 1% - textile parties and gatherings.  Our neighbors have seen us several times and because of that I don't cover, run for cover, or come up with one liners either.  They've looked over the fence, seen us completely nude, full frontal and smiled and waved.  I don't think they'll join us but at least they are accepting or tolerant." - FP

“Haven't done any significant night nude hiking myself, but did observe some a few years ago. Three of us had done the Half Dome hike in Yosemite National Park in August. Coming down one of our party had physical problems. I stayed with him, and we moved slowly along as he was able while the third person when ahead for help. The result of all that was that we didn't get out to the road until 2:00 a.m. We were about half a mile from the road, dog tired and moving even slower, when we heard hikers coming up behind us at a brisk pace. As they passed us we saw it was two couples, all of them nude except for boots and backpacks. After they moved ahead I said, 'I wasn't expecting to see that.' My sick friend responded, 'You never know when you'll see bares in Yosemite.' It was a warm night, and hiking nude must have felt great.” – Luvnaturism

“Benjamin Franklin was in the habit of taking air baths each morning in his room.  He made some efforts to induce others to adopt the practice and speaks highly of the benefits he derived therefrom.  Franklin particularly desired to divest himself of all clothing when doing mental work. . . The real question is - how many famous people are or were naturists without the general public becoming aware?” - Herbet M.
