“I’ve got this saying now — I’m always naked . . . But before, I was never one of those guys who ever felt comfortable naked.  I was always the kind of guy who, even in my house by myself, I used to have shorts on.  And I got to a point in age where I started feeling more comfortable being naked.  But it took me until I was 30 years old until I felt comfortable — I’m 33 now. - Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat Shooting Guard), http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2015/12/04/dwyane-wade-naked-underwear-ads-photo-exclusive/

“Embracing nudism as a lifestyle has many positive side effects . . . One is getting rid of the necessity of clothing. . . Naturism allows us to go to essentials.  Clothing is still required in our society, however, most of the clothes we have in our closets can benefit those who cannot afford them.  A great way to unclutter your life and your mind starts by getting rid of the clothes you do not wear anymore and do not need if you’ve decided to embrace the nudist lifestyle. . . I have a pile of shirts, t-shirts, shorts, and underwear I am going to give to the Red Cross.  I have made a commitment as well to stop buying clothes I do not need just because they are hype or cool.  I’m gonna stay more nude than ever and do not need more clothes that the ones I currently have in my closet.  More than half is now empty, I feel cleaner!” - NudeMarc, https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2015/08/24/shedding-clothes-and-simple-side-effects/

“Yes, in families where cancer, Syria, and Donald Trump are discussed at the dinner table, conversations about erections and sex are still, apparently, taboo.  What universe are these frightened parents living in?  One in which kids don’t wonder about penises, or think about sex?  One in which kids don’t look at porn and see penises and sex?  One in which young people won’t eventually grow up to become adults who have sex?  Many parents live in a world in which they’re uncomfortable talking about sexuality.  I’m sympathetic about their discomfort, but outraged about how they’re dealing with these feelings—depriving their kids of information, and encouraging norms of secrecy and silence.  Parenting is full of conversations that parents find uncomfortable. . . The only thing worse than having to deal with questions you don’t like is NOT having to deal with them—because your kid refuses to ask . . . The truth is, kids need instruction about sexuality the same as they do in all other aspects of life.  To address that need, one single ‘The Talk’ isn’t nearly sufficient; kids need an ongoing conversation that lasts most of the 18 years that they live with you.  If you’re fortunate, it even extends beyond the time your kid leaves home for college or elsewhere.  When kids are young, many conversations about sexuality involve plumbing and logistics.  Values are essential, too: how to decide when and with whom to have sex, how to treat people you have sex with, what responsibilities come along with the decision and the pleasure (we hope) of sex. . . No one likes answering questions that they’re uncomfortable with.  But doing so is a key aspect of raising kids properly.  In fact, there’s a special word for conversations with your child that you’re uncomfortable with.  It’s called Parenting.” – Dr. Marty Klein, https://sexualintelligence.wordpress.com/2015/10/20/latest-challenge-for-parents-tv-ads-about-ed/
