QUOTES 3/23/2017

“. . . the International Olympic Committee has decided to restore the ancient Greek tradition of competing naked in certain events, where cultural heritage favors nudity.  One such event: Olympic Beach Volleyball. . . Rio de Janeiro got its first official nude beach in November of 2014, after activists lobbied for it.  Why?  You guessed it: To play volleyball in the buff.  The nude beach where Nude Olympic Beach Volleyball will take place is called Abrico.  The beach is located about 35 miles from downtown Rio. . . Brazilian sunbathers call Abrico the perfect nudist spot . . . The beach has beautiful scenery and is less crowded and not as noisy as Rio's Copacabana beach, the original site where beach volleyball was scheduled to be played.  At least one ‘naturist’ group has been gathering here on weekends for years . . . 6 weeks before the opening ceremonies, Copacabana Volleyball stadium is still incomplete, and the games need some uplift anyway; some kind of bounce was in order.  So the decision was made to move Beach Volleyball to Abrico, and make it clothing optional. . . the decision will no doubt fill the stadium and give people a reason to travel an hour down the road from the Olympic Stadium to Abrico Beach. . . Participants in the ancient Greek Olympics were required to compete nude, except for the chariot races.  There is no requirement that Olympic Beach Volleyball players shed their clothing-it's simply an option that will be tolerated, for the first time in 2000 years.” - http://www.smobserved.com/story/2016/07/02/Sports/Beach-Volleyball-Will-be-Clothing-Optional-During-Olympics-at-Rio's-Abrico-Nude-Beach/1524.html

“Many women have described the sweeping revelation that follows even one experience of communal all-female nakedness. . . the fastest way to demystify the naked Iron Maiden is to promote retreats, festivals, excursions, that include—whether in swimming or sunning or Turkish baths or random relaxation—communal nakedness. . .  A single revelation of the beauty of our infinite variousness is worth more than words . . . “ – Naomi Wolf, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nude-women-body-should-see-other-girls-naked-bodies/

“It’s very common for people to prefer being naked at home, alone or with others.  I would guess millions of people hang out naked at home. . . So I would say it’s actually normal, and ‘it’s more comfortable’ is certainly a good enough reason to do it.  There’s nothing wrong with it, no harmful effects, and if anything, it can be beneficial in a number of ways. . . the privacy of the home is one of many places where people can be free and comfortable!” – Felicity Jones, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naked-at-home-reader-question-about-home-nudity-and-nudists-nude-at-home/

“We just took a road trip in a rented SUV.  We drove over 3000 miles and I did most of it naked.  What was funny about the naked drives was that I had packed a pair of shorts and a t shirt or sport shirt for the first several days.  Once we were at our friend's home, there was no need for clothes, since they are also nudists.  My wife commented that the shorts and shirt I'd worn the first day should not be dirty because I wore it to get in the car and stopped to fill up for gas.  Once that was done, I took everything off, only to put it back on at our first hotel and I put it on to check in, bring the luggage up to the room and took it all off again.  I ended up wearing that same pair of shorts and shirt for 4 days ... getting into the car and getting out of the car.  I didn't need as many shorts and t shirts/shirts as I packed!” – AndiDi, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=8077&idt=77839&page=3
