“There shelves full of sun screen products in many stores because you hear about how bad the sun is for you.  You hear about how damaging the sun can be to your skin.  The sun can cause discomfort at least and skin cancer at worse.  The truth is the sun is good for you and have some good benefits for your body, particularly in the production of Vitamin D and mentally also. 
The problems that you hear about and are warned about pertains to over exposure to the sun.” - Jessica, http://femalenaturist.blogspot.com/2013/05/nudity-health-benefits-of-being-naked.html

“Here’s why I think we’d all be better off without bathing suits:  1. They’re uncomfortable, tight and restricting before you even go in the water.  Then you swim and get it wet… now you have cold, sopping wet fabric clinging to your skin.  If you were swimming in the ocean or at a sandy beach, you’ve probably got some sand in your crotch, too.  You get out of the water, and now the rest of your naturally-water-repellant skin dries while the suit stays wet for at least the next 15 – 30 minutes.  For women who sit in wet bottoms, this can be the ideal breeding ground for a yeast infection.  That should be a pretty big clue that we’re not meant to be wearing these things.” - Felicity, YNA, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/why-bathing-suits-are-pointless-and-unhealthy/

“I started sleeping nude at 13 and found out that I enjoyed going commando soon after that.  Once I took my first nude hike in the woods near my house I was hooked and have enjoyed being naked at any opportunity after that.  Going on 51 now and I get to enjoy being nude a lot more now that the kids have moved out and my wife and I are starting our second phase of marriage ‘our time’.  I plan on having many naked adventures from now on!” – Eagle59

"SoCal Freehiker’s hiked to Deep Creek hot springs on Thursday, June 24th, 2010.  Six members were able to schedule time for the hike.  I arrived at Bowen Ranch a little late, but most were waiting, naked in the parking lot when I arrived.  The two mile hike down to the springs was easy.  The weather was nice and warm, with a cooling breeze – not a cloud in the sky.  The high desert scenery along the way was beautiful.  We passed one clothed couple on the way down.  As they passed, I mentioned to them that it seemed too warm for clothes, but they didn’t respond.  When we arrived, we sat on rocks to remove our shoes in order to wade across the stream to the hot pools.  The water was perhaps two feet deep and very peasant – not cold at all.  We first gathered in a shady area to eat our lunch and talk.  Then for several hours we soaked in the hot pools, swam in the river, and talked.  It was very enjoyable.  Perhaps 50 people were at the springs, though the area is large enough so it didn’t feel crowded at all.  At least half of the people remained clothed, especially the younger visitors – strange – but no one mentioned our nudity, or seemed to care.  Mid-afternoon, we decided to leave. The sun was hot but the breeze blowing past our nude bodies kept the temperature just right for the freehike out.  We passed several other clothed people on the way out.  None commented about our nakedness, though they didn’t stop to talk.  It is such a wonderful experience, freehiking with good friends, being one with nature.” – Ken Freehiker
