“There is intimacy in a shared nude experience regardless of the purpose of the nudity, be it casual, athletic, scientific, artistic, philosophical or simply out of convenience, and how we regard and accept that nudity is a matter of consequence.” – http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/127694074856/take-it-off-7-struggles-of-being-a-nudist-in-a

“On a walk with about six of us including a woman we met a dog walker.  We exchanged a few words and he was fine and he told us he'd seen in the media naturists were about.  We saw a few others in the distance and they too were OK and didn't seem bothered.  Being in a group, especially a mixed gender one really helps. . . at the end of the day most people aren't upset by simple nudity.” – Davie, http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=655.450;topicseen

“When I’m naked hiking with friends, we choose walks largely off the beaten track to try and avoid the general public.” – Emma James, http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-ideas/adventure/the-rules-of-going-naked-in-public/news-story/b32fe64a4db995e803c16ff2711d51de

“. . . for as long as I can remember, I was never required to wear a robe or use a towel to cover up when walking from the bedroom to the shower and back.  I grew up being naked in front of my mother in various circumstances.  When I was young, she would draw my bath.  As I got older, she would walk in the bathroom when I was showering, and stay there when I got out and dried off.  When I was young, she picked out my clothes.  As I got older, she would walk in my room while I was dressing.  I changed my clothes and underwear in front of her.  She has even walked in my bedroom and seen me sleep nude.  Being naked in front of my mom was just a natural thing; I never gave it a second thought. . . She saw me nude until I moved out in my early twenties.” – Rocco, http://offbeathome.com/parent-nudity-in-house/

“You shouldn’t stare at any people with no clothes on and, if you are going into a zone that is clearly marked for naturism [typically part of a beach or the grounds of open air swimming pool, rather than part of a park] you should be prepared to take off your clothes or stay away.” – Feargus O’Sullivan, https://www.citylab.com/navigator/2017/04/fight-over-naked-parks-beaches-germany/523710/?utm_source=nl__link1_042117
