“Finding like-minded naked people can prove challenging.  What is a nudist to do?  Bringing up your nudist lifestyle can be a conversation killer at the office Christmas party.  And the neighbors might be thrown off by your tradition of naked Sundays in the backyard.” – Stephen Nels, http://clapway.com/2016/08/05/top-10-informative-nudist-websites/

“For the last three nights, our all-female, fully nude production of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest has played to sold-out houses in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. . . The show is different in Brooklyn than it was in Central Park in May.  The performance space is less isolated, so random pedestrians walking by are more likely to stumble across a mystifying and magical scene. . . And once again we celebrate the female body in all its variety and wondrous versatility. . . giving the lie to the premise that a naked woman conveys only one thing: sexuality.” - https://toplesspulp.com/2016/09/10/last-chance-to-see/

“I spent Sunday (which was go topless day) afternoon and Monday (just a regular day) at Hampton Beach.  Go Topless day seemed to present an example of what would happen if it were culturally acceptable, as well as legal, for women to choose what they wear at the beach the same way that men can.  On Sunday there were topless women all over the beach.  Ages ranging from 0 – 60 and just about everything in-between.  But there were no senior citizens. . . On Monday it was a different scene.  For one thing the senior citizens showed up. . . Secondly we were back to the typically American beachwear scene with the only topless woman I saw that day being a friend was with me.” - https://breastsarehealthy.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/live-topfree-or-die-roses-and-thorns-from-new-hampshire/

“Been sleeping in the nude for about 20 years...When I sleep anywhere but home, I wear PJs, but sleep terrible!  I feel so confined!  I don't know how everyone who wears them all the time can stand it!” – Purple Cow, http://www.littlethings.com/sleeping-naked-benefits/

“The beauty of experiencing the outdoors nude cannot be understated or undervalued because of its simplicity.  Furthermore, the simple act of going nude in nature is not of itself a problem - legally or socially.  The things we do while nude are what gets interpreted by passing people, trail companions and outdoor enthusiasts.  So where simply hiking nude may not be offensive, there are other things people ‘might’ do which are more difficult to explain!  In that is where courtesy and consideration exist!  Being naked as if we just stepped out from a shower or bath is a common, well-known behavior, but things commonly done ‘in private’ (bedrooms, etc.) are where hiking parents grow legitimately concerned.  The proof of civility is in the conduct of the naked ones.  Nudist or not.” - http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/153653042556/the-beauty-of-experiencing-the-outdoors-nude
