“How much time do you spend every day hiding who you really are? . . . Everyday you’re picking out clothes, putting them on, changing them again, put on make-up, pick out jewelry, changing your clothes again … It never stops. . . Why do we want to look different than we are? . . . What’s wrong with what we have?” - https://thanakedi.wordpress.com/2017/03/18/embrace-your-body-the-all-the-way-method/

“In African tribal societies breasts are not considered sexual organs and women carry on topless without a care in the world.” – Koraly Dimitradis, http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/rendezview/why-cant-women-take-their-tops-off-in-public/story-fnpug1jf-1227615034240

“The main obstacle in the US is the Federal Communications Commission, the government body that regulates broadcast networks throughout the country.  This is the body that fines networks should they air bad words, or body parts, including, of course, female breasts. . . If there were enough public pressure for them to update their indecency standards so as to no longer define breasts as ‘nudity’ it would probably have a huge national impact. . . Indeed, the FCC has already proposed changing these standards before but they were met with fierce resistance from parents’ groups and thus backed down.  If there is enough public pressure on the other side they could very well be convinced to reconsider.” – Freethinker, https://medium.com/@Guy4Progress/so-you-want-to-free-the-nipple-8aab3f5eadca#.1fbc3my9x

“Some of what we would see as ‘nudist communities’ are actually cultures where nakedness is a simply a way of life.  There, being naked has never been an issue. . . Many naturists join a nudist / naturist community to enjoy nudist activities with other like-minded individuals.  Naturist communities also free their people from the judgment of society.” – Jordan Blum, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/practicing-nudism-and-naturism/
