“There's nothing quite like a swim in the buff to invigorate the senses and revitalize your body.  Scotland and skinny dipping do not appear to immediately go hand in hand, but just because it's often chilly up here doesn't mean we can't enjoy letting it all hang out on a nuddy swim.  Throw away those inhibitions along with your clothes and get in on the action with these spots that actively encourage a naked splash around. . . www.glasgowcontinental.com, www.scotnaturist.freeservers.com, http://www.nakedscotland.org.uk/b/cleats-shore-arran, http://www.nakedscotland.org.uk/b/ardeer” - http://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/incoming/swim-scud-glasgow-11674934

“. . . see[ing] the naked inevitably improves the relationship with yourself and your body . . .” - Emmanuel Cinelli, https://emanuelecinelli.wordpress.com/2016/08/11/il-nudo-e-la-scuola/

“One of the healthiest things I did for myself was to try nude recreation.  I quickly learned that being nude is actually quite natural, what you might call a life enhancing experience. . . having gone nude in a social setting, I now accept who I am and feel comfortable with my own body.  Experiencing who I am on the inside has become more important to me than what I look like on the outside.  Sure, I still enjoy being well groomed, but I no longer feel the stress associated with trying to wear trendy clothes or that I'm not living up to fashion magazine images of what my body is supposed to look like. . . Being nude has become the most normal thing in the world.  I sometimes wonder, if you'll pardon this well-worn phrase, what took me so long.  The people I've met are courteous and friendly, there are no pressures, no daily hassles. . . it's easier to relate to people on the basis of who they really are, not by the image their clothes say they are.  And I feel a sense of respect for me as an individual.  It feels fabulous to be judged by who I am and not by the physical condition of my body or the style clothing I'm wearing. . . my self-esteem says, 'Hey, I am a beautiful person!'  My whole being is more relaxed; I've never been this confident." - http://www.aanr.com/from-a-womans-perspective?platform=hootsuite

“Indonesia also has a cultural traditional of clothes free life, and it is hundreds of years old.  For example, in Bali, it was usual for a woman to go topless. . . ‘Toplessness also showed honesty, and for whoever able to keep her breast, would get trusty from another person.’” - Dimas S.
