“Warning!  Working out naked is addictive.  Up to a point that when you start, it’s difficult and frustrating to come back to exercise clothed.  However, when you start, you just find it’s common sense not to wear any clothing.” - https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2016/02/02/gymnastics-means-working-out-naked/

“A few weeks ago, I found an email in my inbox with the subject line: ‘THE NAKED COMEDY SHOW RETURNS.’ . . . I bought my ticket on the spot. . . When I arrived to the theater, I had to stand outside for a bit and give myself a final pep talk.  I couldn't quite figure out why this was so hard for me.  I kept telling myself this would be a group of accepting people—it had to be—and yet, even though I knew I was to be in a room full of other naked people, I couldn't imagine not being personally judged for my nakedness.  I finally just sucked it up and powered through.  Once inside, I was taken back by the sea of naked men and women. . . There were at least 70 people present, and they stood around talking with one another real casually. . . once I pulled off my dress, there I was—naked.  It took a few minutes to adjust, but I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable I felt being naked . . . The show finally started, and ran for about an hour and a half. . . Some performers were trying comedy for the first time. Others were more seasoned. . . As awful as some of the performances were, I wasn't really there to see comedy.  I was there for the nudist experience, and am genuinely happy to have done it. . . I took to public nudity a lot better than I thought possible.  In fact, it felt pretty great.” – Alison Stevenson, http://www.vice.com/read/i-went-to-a-nude-comedy-show-and-learned-to-accept-my-body-415

“Perhaps, with more bike days, body painting, and accepted events where nudity is accepted or encouraged, we may take a turn in North America regarding body acceptance instead of body shame.” – Alf, http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=826.0;topicseen

“One of the best things we, as nudists, can do is to be more open to others about the fact we are nudists.  Too many of us keep our nudist way of living a secret like we are doing something wrong.  The gays have become more public, the transgendered have become more public, and we should become more public.” – George Winlock, https://www.facebook.com/groups/PromotingNudism/
