“. . . clothes freedom (the ability of any person to wear or not wear whatever they want without negative repercussions or consequences) can be a fair indicator of freedom in general within a given society. . . liberty and self-determination tend to abound in the societies where clothes freedom exists.  In the societies where clothes freedom is denied, authoritarian hierarchy prevails and other personal freedoms are also at risk.” – The Natuist African American, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nudity-colonization-textile-industry/

“Being seen by textiles while naked hiking is a hazard that all face sooner or later, to the most part I have found that people are not duly upset although there have been a few frowns from time to time.  If textiles feel that you (the naked hiker) are not deliberately trying to offend it obviously makes a big difference, and nude walking with a group is a more social way and safer (as safety in numbers) to experience this enjoyable pastime and with more eyes on the lookout it.  It is much more relaxing too since your alertness to textiles is not at the same level as when walking alone.” – Barry Carter, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=43786&page=2

“My first nudist experience was at Truro beach on Cape Cod.  It was a very hot summer in 1989 and I went with an ex-girlfriend.  Her family were nudists and we also visited a club in Massachusetts.  The whole experience was very liberating.  It took 20 years and many rejections from other girlfriends and 7 years of rejections from my wife before I returned to the naturist experience.  It was a tough sell getting my wife to join me but we finally did it in 2008. . . Sharing this experience with my wife has benefited her; she is more self-confident.  And our marriage has benefited as well.” – Bob, Michigan, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=85

“In some religions, enjoying the naked state of being does mean you are a sinner.  But many would argue that this natural state of being is Godlier than hiding behind expensive clothing, makeup, and jewelry.” – Jordan Blum, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naturist-women-girl-nudists-ladies-and-nudism/

“I too love to garden nude . . . and yes the plants seem to do better and animals are more at ease when you’re naked too.  I always enjoyed feeding the cows on the farm naked, plus the hay brushes off the body . . .” – Susmanvic, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=84254&page=1
