“In Seattle they have the regular WNBR [World Naked Bike Ride] on a Saturday afternoon, but that's not enough naked time for many riders.  So they have extra naked bike rides through the city.  Last week they had a night naked bike ride complete with lights to light up the naked bodies.  Seattle citizens and police have become so accustomed to seeing naked bicycle riders that ride organizers no longer even bother to inform the police of an upcoming naked event.  Ten or a thousand naked bicyclists are just not a police matter, and the local print or TV media doesn't bother reporting it either.” – Bob Knows, http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=670.0;topicseen

“Gymnophobia is the fear of nudity, and it can be either partial or full nudity.  This fear has been normalized by society and is mainstream.  It is a . . . serious problem. . . Sufferers of this phobia may experience a red face and laugh whenever talking about nudity . . . We have developed things to justify gymnophobia like dressing rooms, separate showers, changing rooms, and having a towel covered around us from the waist down. . . The fear of the nude has reached serious levels. . . Gymnophobia is not like a normal phobia . . . Because it does not begin at birth. . . we are not born with any shame about nudity. . . We learn to be ashamed of nudity through our parents or parental figures, the media, customs, peer pressure, and religion. . . gymnophobia does not interfere with our daily lives significantly . . . [so] people don’t recognize the fear is irrational or excessive.  This fear has been normalized by society and we have . . . [forgotten] the importance of nudity. . . Practicing nudism will help.  As people shed their fears of nudity, they will soon overcome gymnophobia and view human naked bodies as natural and normal because they are that way.  Together we can help end gymnophobia.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/
