“It’s fascinating how little some people seem to understand about being clothes-free.  The concept of having to wear fabrics . . . is so ingrained in many people’s minds that doing anything without them seems to hit a mental roadblock.” – Paul, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/08/20/naked-exercising/

“Some people believe that nudists are so desensitized by seeing nude people all the time that we have no sex life.  But that’s not true.  Nudist couples report having much better sex lives and much more intimate relationships with their partners.  Nudists understand that a relationship isn’t based on seeing their partner naked.  While we are attracted to our partners, others seeing them nude doesn’t diminish their attractiveness.  And we know that no one else has the intimate relationship we have with our partner.  That relationship, the one behind closed doors, the whispers in the middle of the night, the shoulder to cry on and the shared laughter, THAT is what a partnership is built on.  That is what a loving relationship is built on.  And that is something that does not equate to mere nudity.  And within that deeper relationship, couples report having a much better, much more fulfilling sex life than non-nudists.” - The Heartland Naturists, http://heartlandnaturists.tumblr.com/post/147263259943/some-people-believe-that-nudists-are-so

“One thing you hear a lot about Europe's attitude towards nudity is that they don't equate it with sex.  A concept Americans - aside from nudists - don't seem to understand.  But once you've spent time at a resort you realize there is absolutely nothing sexual about ordering a hamburger when you're naked.  Nor is there anything arousing about sending emails with a bare ass.  A naked day will teach you that you can interact, sans clothes, with people for a lot of things other than sex.” – Matt Meltzer, https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/my-nude-beach-true-story-one-naked-day-caliente-resort-in-florida

“I decide to attend . . . 2014, a nudist and nude-freedom event at Lupin Lodge in Los Gatos, California.  Bodyfest advertises contests both physical and creative, plus music, dance performances, yoga, massages and more body-freedom fun. . . At a lunch table in the main lodge I meet what seems to be the core group of young nudists in attendance.  Maris is a curly-haired blonde raw vegan who, despite living a nude lifestyle on communal acreage in northern California, has never before used conventional sunscreen. . . She sits with Mia and Jonathan . . . There is also Laura, gorgeous with fair skin, shiny dark hair and bright blue eyes. . . Another man I meet, Chris, bald and shaved from top to toe—and everywhere in between. . .” - Molly Oswaks, http://www.playboy.com/articles/new-generation-of-nudists
