“End the fear of nudity (gymnophobia) – Gymnophobia is a serious problem.  Get rid of it.  Recognize the human body is not shameful.  Practice nudism.  Go to a nudist venue.  Get help now ending gymnophobia.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“My friends and family all know I’m a naturist.  There was a time when I wasn’t open about it, but as I got older I realized that hiding something frequently indicates a level of shame or embarrassment about it and I had neither.  Do some acquaintances (I won’t call them friends) judge me for it?  Of course.  Do I care?  I’ll admit a little, but not enough to live my life not being true to my values.” http://thoughtsonnaturism.tumblr.com/post/143890349970/pushing-for-change

“A naturist ‘admitting’ they raise their children in a naturist lifestyle is akin to someone ‘admitting’ they homeschool their child or someone ‘admitting’ they raise their son or daughter a Christian.  It's this kind of intimation that makes naturists angriest.  They tend to take things in stride when dealing with other slights and discrimination, but they find the use of their children against them as gross, as would anyone vaguely or otherwise accused of pimping out their kids.” – Steve Lowery, http://www.ocweekly.com/news/why-did-huntington-beach-ban-naturists-from-a-public-pool-they-had-used-for-years-7133568

“Everyone get their Vitamin D, go outside naked.” - https://twitter.com/ohionaturist/status/710153576530780160

“. . . throughout the day the skin is covered by clothing and footwear under which it often sweating and chemicals from the detergent or fabric softener may enter through the pores.” - https://zedie.wordpress.com/2015/11/15/what-are-the-benefits-of-sleeping-naked/

“There are a few old chestnuts that are bound to arise – ‘corrupting the minds of the young’ is a classic, whereas most naturists know that, a) kids are natural nudists anyway, and b) children pick up fears from their parents and other adults, more than they do by simply observing life.  In other words, they are ‘given’ fear by associating with fearful people, so that should (ha!) be easy to counter.” - https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2016/03/17/a-week-end-at-suneden/
