“We are surrounded by and constantly immersed in a culture where nudity is something to be feared or sexually pleasured by.  The idea of fat shaming runs rampant, woman are told that if they expose themselves they are sluts and just looking for attention.  We are constantly taught, subjected to and indoctrinated that nudity is bad and it equals sex. . . I am convinced more and more that this is not how God would have had it but it is a lie of the devil who has created a world where these things are programmed essentially from birth to be this way.  I cannot believe that God would have us believe such things and live in such a way as to equate nudity with sex and thus we should fear and be ashamed of it.  It just does not make sense. . . we know that Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, they were created naked.  God walked with them in the garden while they were naked.  They were naked together and it was not immodest. . . Adam and Eve were not ashamed of their nakedness.  They were naked together before becoming man and wife . . . God did not tell them they were naked nor did he teach them such things were wrong or immodest, Adam and Eve made clothing only after being tempted by the devil.” – Andrew, https://gospelperspective.wordpress.com/2015/09/14/what-is-wrong-with-nudity/

“Clothing-optional tourism does $400 million to $450 million in business annually . . . more than double the amount in the early 1990s.” – http://newsok.com/clothing-optional-cruise-part-of-nakationing-boom/article/feed/834919

"I've done a few hikes where I never needed to put on shorts, door to door (car door that is), the entire time of the hike, the longest being perhaps eight hours.  But that was a matter of luck.  I expect to need the shorts now and then, which of course is why they're there, and having to put them on doesn't spoil anything.  I've given up trying to reach any sort of goals of time, distance, or staying nude, mostly.  Even so, I can think of a few places where I don't think I would ever need the shorts, though there can be surprises.  On one of those all-nude hikes, I still had the shorts and they eventually went into the pack, same with another hike.” – Blue Train

“Healthy eating and exercise, along with mental and spiritual health, were essential to early naturist practice.  What happened?  It’s as if when people took off their clothes they forgot why.  Originally, it was for physical and mental health.  It’s time to bring healthy living back to naturism.” - Kenfreehiker
