“Yes, I have driven nude many times. The longest was about ten years ago when the wife and I took our son to a college in Minnesota.  On the way back home, I drove nude all the way from Des Moines, Iowa, to Oklahoma City.  And yes, it was during the daytime.  The only time I dressed was to stop for gas or something to eat.  When we needed to switch drivers, we would pull into a roadside rest stop and I would get out completely nude.  Either nobody noticed or didn't care.” – Hubnude, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=860&page=2

“That first anticipated 'bare' moment has now come and gone.  And my recollection of it brings many descriptive words to mind: natural, liberating, freeing, exuberating, sensual yet non-sexual, energizing, rejuvenating and so much more.  And for me, the 'so-much-more' includes spiritual reconnection.  I believe my nakedness does not belong to me, but rather to Creation.  NAKED is how I was 'created' and brought into the world.  THAT, within itself, makes it spiritual in nature for me.  It makes it a good thing, healthy and pure; nothing to be ashamed of nor to hide.  Instead, I see my nakedness as something to embrace and to be lived.  I want to allow it to breathe my existence.  In my view, to deny my nakedness is to denounce my Creator's creation.  I do not want to silence that breath.  It's a gift.  I want it to flourish.  I want it to grow.  And in doing so, I express my sincerest form of gratitude to the ‘Giver’ of that gift . . .” – Tim, Long Time Nudist, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=10

“Is it rational to regard the simply naked adult human body of either sex as offensive?  In the 21st century it is impossible for anybody to be unfamiliar with what a mature male or female human body looks like.  Furthermore, for everyone their body is a core part of their being.  Our bodies, how they function, the demands they make on us, the pleasure they give us, define significantly who we are.  To consider particular parts of our bodies inherently obscene is to deny our humanity.” - Kevin Sampson, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10783971

“Simple searches for wholesome, natural images that feature ordinary humans undressed return an overwhelming flood of pornography – the embedded message tells us that nudity, even natural, non-sexual nudity is in essence, pornography.  Our society has worked hard to encode this in law, in attitudes, through fear advertising, and a host of other means.  There is panic and offense taken even when there is no rational reason for fear or offense.” - http://rglongpre.ca/naturistlens/2015/12/09/whistleblowing-and-censorship/
