“There is something in the American ethos that can’t manage to handle a conversation about ‘naked’ without making some self-deprecating joke, even if you are the one who is advocating for the right and the privilege to be naked. . . American nudists have become the ‘butt’ of their own jokes.” – https://meanderingnaturist.wordpress.com/2013/05/

“Invite people to come with you to the nude beach or to your local nude resort. . .  it works surprisingly well.  It may require some guts the first times, but once you are used to the surprised eyes, it will become a second nature.” - https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/4-ways-to-explain-to-friends-and-family-why-you-are-a-nudist/

“There are several versus in the Bible that do depict nudity and there are no condemnations with any of them. . . scripture does not support the concept of nudity being evil or sinful, it is either neutral or positive towards nudity . . . There are absolutely no scientific studies supporting nudity as bad emotionally, psychologically or otherwise.  There are several studies showing either no harm (neutral) or positive benefits of having nonsexual nudity around.” – DDF, https://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120919174851AAdYoh1#

“April 27, 2012 I drove from Las Vegas to Phoenix (actually New River) – 4.5 hours – naked all the way.  About half way I pulled off the highway onto a dirt road and stood by the car naked to take a wiz.  I did throw a towel over me when I stopped at the Burger King to-go window, so not quite naked all the way.  As I drove I watched for places to stop for a future nude picnic and freehike; there were many great places.  I realized that this route is an ‘ideal’ Skinny Road Trip!  Wouldn’t it be fun to join a ‘group’ of naturists on a nude drive through beautiful desert scenery, stop for a naked picnic and freehike along the way, and arrive in Las Vegas just in time for a show and perhaps a swim at a topless European-style pool?  I’m sure the drive back would be equally memorable.  Is anyone interested in joining me for this Skinny Road Trip?” - Kenfreehiker

“Eventually, I stopped seeing naked people and just saw people. . . You simply don’t see a difference between the woman who had the double mastectomy and the woman who has breast implants and a perfect tan (although, admittedly, the ‘perfect’ looking people are few and far between).” – Naomi Teeter, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/what-i-learned-about-body-positivity-by-running-naked_us_57d7054ee4b0f831f7072582
