“I was lucky enough to drive from AZ, Phoenix area to near Ft Worth, TX weekend before last. I was naked at least from the waist down most of the trip. My wife was naked at night. The whole trip seemed so much shorter that way. That is a long boring drive and to be able to go at least half naked is a bonus.” – Rhinestonekevin

Best Nude Beaches in America – “Gunnison Beach (Middletown, NJ) was originally intended to house a fortification to protect New York Harbor.  It's now the best nude beach on the East Coast and located just a few miles south of New York City.” - http://www.experiencify.com/adventure/nude-adventures/american-nude-beaches/

“All bodies are beautiful.  Ugliness is in people’s minds. . . Nudism is not a beauty contest.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“. . . textiles and the textile industry has in fact had a tremendous impact on societies around the globe, and still do today. . . However, for most people around the world, outside of small elite aristocracies, wealthy merchant classes, the religious establishment, and societies heavily influenced by handcraft textile and merchant guilds, clothing was primarily worn for practical functional purposes, and not required when impractical, such as for swimming, or for working in hot humid conditions.  Fabric body concealment was not ascribed any moral dimension as symbolic of modesty or purity.  The naked human body was associated with poverty at worst, honesty and purity at best, and was, at the time, not directly associated with human sexuality by the majority of Earth’s peoples.  Then, in 1750 the textile mill was invented in England.  This created tremendous wealth for the owners of textile mills, and agricultural land barons that supplied cotton, wool, and other raw materials to be woven into textile fabrics for clothing . . . As clothing was the major profit generating end use of the textile mill owner’s products, it became imperative for their local populations to be indoctrinated with the ‘need’ for fabric body concealment at all times to maintain continual profits.  This indoctrination also solidified the positions of the aristocracy by direct transfer of wealth from the masses via textile clothing purchases, by designating certain clothing styles as highly expensive and only to be worn by aristocrats, and by designating many different clothing styles for each gender, age, class, and trade, region, activity, and sect, thus reinforcing divisions within the general population, making them more easily subdivided and controlled.  Once the masses accepted the practice of continuous fabric body concealment (often indoctrinated though the church, the most effective proponent of new ideas available to the aristocracy at that time) the wealth of the textile manufacturers was assured for generations.” - http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nudity-colonization-textile-industry/
