“I enjoy being naked in the comfort of my own home, probably more than the average person.  The only time I'm not naked in my apartment is when I have company over, or when I'm frying food in the kitchen—it took an oil burn on my chest the size of a third nipple to learn this lesson.” – Alison Stevenson, http://www.vice.com/read/i-went-to-a-nude-comedy-show-and-learned-to-accept-my-body-415

“Some organizations like to ease first-time nudists into the unfamiliar world of genital exposure by arranging what’s known as a ‘clothes-optional’ gathering.  That means attendees are welcome to keep their clothes on—even if it’s just a long T-shirt—until they’re comfortable enough to leave them behind.  ‘Clothes-free,’ however, means that you need to shed your fabrics without reservations.” – Jake Rossen, http://mentalfloss.com/article/83164/9-nudist-resort-rules-etiquette

“We have visited Ile du Levant at least a half-dozen times . . . our lodging of choice is Heliotel near the plaza at the top of the hill.  It takes at least a couple visits to the Golden Island to figure out . . . it is mostly a tranquil little island virtually unnoticed by the rest of the world.  Perfunctory rules tell you where you can and cannot be naked, but nobody seems to pay them much mind – in either direction.  Naked and clothed people just going about their business in anticipation of another stunning sunset on the Cote d’Azur.” - https://meanderingnaturist.wordpress.com/2016/06/11/naked-oddessy-ii-naturist-europe-2016/

“. . . the biggest motivation for women to become nudists is...other women.” – Nudony, http://www.clothesfreeforum.com/forum/faq-s-common-threads-and-topics/female-issues/14239-women-and-nudism/page4

“I like to use nudity in my fighting to change the way women view themselves and their bodies.  Nudity to me is powerful.  ‘In your face’. . . Humans – and women – who are proud of their own body and are not ashamed of any part of themselves have always been empowering to me.  I find these women strong and beautiful . . . where there is this special strength shining out from their eyes. . . To me – being a woman – female nudity is empowering. . . LET’S support each other as women!  Let’s stop fighting each other!  Let’s encourage each other and show the world how proud we are of . . . our beautiful body.” - Naja Narayana, https://najayana.wordpress.com/2016/05/18/yes-this-is-my-female-body-no-i-am-not-ashamed/?platform=hootsuite
