“I have been a nude sleeper for over 15 years and loving it. . . I am not comfortable anymore wearing pj's or even undies to bed - ugh.  I sleep much better and really do feel great during the evening and upon awakening.” - Orange Blowdryer, http://www.littlethings.com/sleeping-naked-benefits/

“When you spend more time naked, your body image improves, and you become less concerned with how you look and instead focus on how you feel in your own skin . . . We have been taught to hide our bodies in shame . . . and these messages take a toll on our relationship with our bodies.  Being naked helps us to reclaim the entire body as the beautiful vehicle that carries us around across a lifespan.” - Dr. Jessica O'Reilly, https://www.thrillist.com/health/nation/health-benefits-getting-naked-nudity

“I have been a collector of art all my life, but partial to the naked human form.  Raising my children in a home filled with art, much of it celebrating the nude form was a joy for me . . . But the real pleasure showed up when my children and their friends became adults and expressed how much they loved my home and art, and how much it influenced their creativity.  I wanted to be an artist, but had no talent.  So I collected wonderful artists work in many mediums.  Now those young people who visited . . . are artists working in many mediums.  They also display their collections boldly in their homes.  I am so happy to have inspired so many young people to be comfortable in their own skin, while appreciating the dignity of others.” – Delorme McKee Stovall, http://modelsocietymagazine.com/the-embody-project/

“The more often your neighbors . . . see you naked, the sooner [they] will be interested of being part of it as well.” - http://ldsnaturism.blogspot.com/p/advice.html

“Dear Amy:  My wife and I have been married for about a year.  We live on five acres.  Woods surround us on three sides and we have a 6-foot-tall fence.  My wife knew I was a naturist before we married.  She dislikes seeing me in the nude all of the time.  I do housework and all of the yardwork in the nude.  When we have people over, I wear clothing.  We went to a clothing-optional resort one time.  I was nude the whole time, and she wore clothes the whole time.  She refuses to go again.  What can I do to change my wife's mind about being a naturist?  Bob,  Dear Bob:  You knew your wife was a fully clothed non-naturist when you married her, so why does she have to change to suit you?  Why don't you change? . . . There is a line between encouragement and coercion.  Don't cross it if you want to introduce someone to naturism.” –http://www.marinij.com/article/ZZ/20160511/NEWS/160519088
