“I’m quite diligent about keeping my naturist life and professional life on separate threads, in this age where nudity is often equivocated with socially deviant behavior in some professional circles.  My wife and I are pretty average, run-of-the-mill, (need I mention monogamous!), hard working professionals, but when we go on vacation, if given the choice, we’ll travel as lightly as possible.  Simple as that!” - https://meanderingnaturist.wordpress.com/

“Bras have actually been proven to be bad for breast development, but we (well the rest of society) are so fixed on hiding our bodies that it doesn’t matter.” – TheNudeBot, http://nudisuzie.com/2016/08/my-free-the-nipple-summer/

“I wished I could change who I was every day until I found [nude] modeling . . . It challenged me to look past the things I couldn't change, but also learn how to embrace them.  Nudity has changed my life.” -Serenity Hart, http://www.self.com/story/what-its-like-to-be-a-naturist

“We do it all.  We love the same things you do.  We do the same things you love.  Nudism just does it more freely, openly, happily.” - http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/84236340516/i-have-no-private-parts-when-i-must-wear

“One of the first things that global mercantile forces did to establish textile markets among the indigenous peoples of the regions and islands of the Arctic, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Oceania . . .  and was to promote and enforce body shame upon subject populations, requiring the purchase of textile clothing.  This was done through religious institutions (doctrines, crusades, jihad, and missionaries), as well as military force.  Some of the objectives of textile enforcement were to establish, increase, and solidify hierarchical and social divisions among subject populations according to gender, age, wealth, ethnicity, appearance, status, and many other criteria (i.e. who wears the pants, skirts, uniforms, boots, bras, and badges) among subject populations to keep them more alienated from one another, less cooperative with each other, and more easily controlled.  The global marketing and enforcement of textiles was in part done . . . by tying textiles to innate human desires for security, social status, beauty, comfort, and convenience.  Ostensibly this was to promote ‘modesty.’  However, modest dress simply means humble, practical, and non-ostentatious attire. . . Overtly and covertly textile enforcement and pseudo-religious indoctrination, was used as a means of shaming, devaluing, repressing, and subjugating holistic naturist cultures.” - https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naturism-global-textile-industry/
