“It's just so invigorating to be naked.  You get given a towel, but it's way more exciting to take a risk and walk everything with nothing on." - Jorgie Porter. The 'Hollyoaks' actress who plays Theresa McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, https://www.sundayworld.com/style/showbiz/jorgie-porter-getting-naked-is-invigorating?platform=hootsuite

“Nudists all love to get naked.  Some will get naked only in a naturist setting, like a clothing optional resort or beach, others will get naked in nature, others will be naked at home, but all nudists share that same love of being naked with others.  The one thing you can be sure is that by inviting nudists to a dinner or a pool party, you can confidently say this is a clothing optional meetup so everybody can shed their clothes.” - https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2015/06/29/5-ways-nudism-will-enhance-your-social-life/

“I like to go nude around the house and backyard.  My wife and I do housework nude: vacuuming, dishes, laundry.  I like to do yard work nude: watering plants, trimming the hedge . . . even mowing, hoeing, and weeding, etc.  In the house, I am probably undressed.” – Verygary, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/10/10/its-down-to-you/

“I was reluctant to tell my parents but did get as far as testing the water by, for example, not wearing a dressing gown between bedroom and bathroom.  My mum, who I thought would be the greater obstacle to me being naked around the house, saw me a few times.  She was shocked the first time, but crucially, didn’t tell me not to do it.  Each time she saw me after that, she didn’t react at all and all was normal.  Although this encouraged me to be naked a bit more, it was only at certain times rather than as a normal day to day occurrence.  I remained too reserved to ever talk to them about it, even after they came home earlier than I expected from a shopping trip and caught me naked in the garden.” – Sunny Jim, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=21209.25

“There is an irrational fear of the bare female body in culture today.  From stringent dress codes for high school girls to censorship of female nipples in public and on Facebook, there is a message that the body’s capacity to arouse must be hidden and squelched at all costs.  Meanwhile, mainstream images of the female body are usually airbrushed and hyper-sexualized, devoid of vulnerability or truth.  These glossy, unreal images tell women that the process of aging is something to fear.” – Devi, http://modelsocietymagazine.com/your-body-is-your-biography/
