“In Western culture, women are constantly bombarded by mass media with images of the ‘perfect body.’  Most often this measure of perfection is a young, extremely thin, toned, nubile and large breasted female with perfect hair, teeth and skin.  Actually no one could live up to a standard like that because the images are not real. . . Sadly, a failure to live up to these unrealistic images causes women to suffer body image dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, eating disorders and can lead to unhealthy lifestyles.” – http://emergingnudist.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/female-problems-with-body-image.html?utm_content=buffer0b27a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

“Carnuding, driving without clothing on . . . most of our trips have included driving to and from destinations nude. . . Why drive nude?  Because it feels good to get out of clothing.  During a long trip, the clothing in the crotch area gets bundled up. . . it feels so good to slip clothing off and feel the air rejuvenate a body. . . All of the body is more comfortable.  The sense of freedom and natural sensuality that one enjoys without clothing at home, or outside, can be enjoyed in a moving vehicle.  It is healthier.  On a longer drive . . . One is not pinned in, or down, for long periods with clothing’s spring resistant fabric and discomfort, which are putting pressures on shoulders, elbows and backs.  If you are not sitting nude, the belt and waistband of a skirt, or pair of pants, squeeze the body and rearrange one’s bowels.  The evidence is there, each time you take off clothing, there is a branded mark indented into the skin. . . How many have felt the relief of letting out a notch in a belt after a big meal, or undoing the clothing altogether? . . . There is driving clothed and the alternative is obviously far superior, especially on a longer cruise.” - Jbeegoode,http://thefreerangenaturist.org/2015/09/25/carnuding-handbook-on-being-realistic-and-practical/

“Nude swimming began at 8 years of age.  I was at a youth center.  We went to a lake.  I had no suit like the other boys, so staff said go in naked, and I have loved it since 1973.  I am still a nudist at age 46 years young.” - Robert F.L., Skowhegan, Maine, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=50

"Have had some wonderful weather for freehiking the last few days in southern Utah.  Got out on a two hour freehike on the east slope above Pleasant Creek.  Surging creek, beautiful meadows with lot of wildflowers, and, for most of it, not a soul in sight. . . I've been working on exploring all of the potential freehiking trails and have several lined up.  I'll be gone starting Saturday for a hot springs tour across Nevada on my way to a conference at South Lake Tahoe.  Secret Beach is on tap for Sunday afternoon!  Back in late June so come on down!" – GroverGuy
