“My girlfriend and I have previously had a holiday tradition of ‘Naked Christmas’ – it would take place before actual Christmas, we’d exchange gifts, eat Christmas food, all without clothes.  This was because due to family commitments we would never be together on Christmas day, so we’d pick a day a few days before to do things our own way, just the two of us, and clothes free.” - https://getnakedgetawesome.wordpress.com/

“Nudism should truly be the future! . . . The naked human body is beautiful and should not be frowned upon.  Clothes even serve to dehumanize us. . . It’s so unfair that we’ve been required to clothe ourselves . . . If we clothe ourselves too much, we move further away from nature.  Non-sexual nudity is not hurtful to a society. . . The benefits of nudism should be widespread. . . We should advocate for making social nudity mainstream. . . humans were also designed to be naked. . . Why not stay naked after showering or bathing?  If we want to walk or run around naked, why not allow that?  Not choosing to wear clothes is a right that should be allowed for anyone.  We should legalize public nudity.  We should not allow swimwear and just swim naked.  Everyone should be naked in a society – it’s for our own good and it would improve society. . . It’s absurd and silly to wear clothes to swim, to sunbathe, at home, in the park, or when it gets hot.  Why not be naked with friends, family, roommates, couples, pretty much with anyone? . . . With nudism allowed we can converse on the same level and we are accepted no matter what with no misjudgment.  There is more peace. . . Let’s hope for a day when we will be allowed to be naked anywhere and do things naked with no one saying something bad about that, much less threaten us to call the police just for being naked in public.  Nudism should be legal everywhere! . . . Let’s better spread the word of nudism and have nudism be future living!” – https://randomfactsgeekjga.wordpress.com/2015/08/19/nudism-should-be-the-future/

“There is research that saunas . . . build one’s immune system, increase longevity, diminish stress responses and lower blood pressure.  In Europe, sauna-days are often prescribed by doctors if one appears susceptible to illness, overworked or stressed out. . . Most people, however, simply regard their sauna-days as essential for maintaining balance in their lives.” - Susan Kraus, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-kraus/naked-is-not-nude-going-n_b_7470264.html

“I went to a favorite remote trail last Sunday for a freehike amongst the autumn foliage. I have never seen anyone else on this trail, but, to my dismay, there was a single car parked at the trailhead.  I figured that the chances were pretty good that they would be returning today from a backpack trip since it looked like the car had been parked there for a few days.  Sure enough, I ran into the backpackers later that that morning.  They were two men and two women returning from a one-week trip into the mountains.  The man in front stopped and he and I talked for a few minutes, while the other three went on up the trail a way. I wasn't sure how they felt about my presence, but the guy I spoke with made no mention of my skimpy hiking attire (boots, socks, ball cap).  Later, in my vehicle on the way out, I actually caught up with their car.  When they recognized who was behind them, the passengers all turned and waved.  They pulled over for me to pass and one of the women hung her head out the window and gave me a big wave and smile.  A great ending for a great hike!” – Mike
