“Most people understand that it is wrong to teach a child to be homophobic, sexist, or racist.  When will we learn that teaching body shame is also bad? . . . to witness this hate being transferred to a second generation right in front of you is something you may never forget. . . we recognize that the intentional manipulation of children to cause them to hate is somehow worse than the mere expression of hatred by someone long ago lost outside the parameters of reason and compassion. . . When parents teach, children don’t merely learn information, they learn how to teach. . . parent teaching it is itself a lesson to the child about what is important for life.  Teaching a child to hate members of another race is very likely to result in some non-negligible amount of suffering being inflicted upon members of that race by that child . . . Teaching children to have beliefs that are likely to result in suffering for the child or others is morally wrong.  The obligation of all upbringers of youth is to teach them beliefs and habits most likely to result in their well-being and the well-being of others, and to refrain from teaching them beliefs and habits which result in their own suffering or the suffering of others. . . Regardless of your own feelings on the matter, you have an obligation to refrain from indoctrinating your children with those same body-hating views.  Teach them that they are responsible for their bodies, and no one else.  Teach them that clothing is a tool, and not a cage. . . Allow your children to develop their own sense of modesty untainted by your own gymnophobic scarring.” - https://medium.com/@reformnaturism/keep-your-shame-to-yourself-teaching-gymnophobia-is-immoral-rough-needs-work-b7846e2e2a69#.7ohiv3soo

“Textilism is about living normally clothed.  Textilitis syndrome is the condition of clothes compulsiveness imposed by being forced to wear clothes by someone else. . . A textilist is the opposite of a nudist, living compulsively clothed.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“Getting the right amount of sleep is very crucial, almost as important as eating, and it has several health and mental benefits.  However, you can . . . reap far more benefits by sleeping without clothes.  Naked sleeping is a liberating experience that allows you to sleep comfortably and helps you to feel free and happy . . . [It] exposes your skin to fresh air, especially your private parts, armpits, and feet, which are usually covered by layers of clothing during the day.  It also helps you to maintain an optimal body temperature, which enhances the production of cortisol hormone.  This helps to keep you relaxed during the day, improves your moods, and helps you to effectively manage stress and anxiety.” - http://blog.vritomartis.com/top-18-things-to-do-naked/
