“When I was young and started to read Playboy magazine and saw the pictures of the famous Grotto, I thought that looked like fun.  Swimming naked.  I said to myself, I am going to have a pool like this, and skinny-dip at home.  When I was watching a house one day for a neighbor, the house had a pool and I was by myself, so off with the shorts and for about 10 minutes, I skinny-dipped for the first time.  It was great.  Finally, in 1999, I bought a house with a pool.  Felt just as great as the first time.  There were other times, like me and a girlfriend skinny-dipping late night at my apartment swimming pool.  But nothing like it at home.  And the next house was the same, but the backyard was very open so I had to do it late night because of the elderly neighbor.” - TCE, Texas, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=40

“Wife and I enjoy naked evening bike rides on a trail that goes 10 miles to a small town.  We stop at the restaurant enjoy supper and ride back naked.  We rarely see one else after dark.  Once we put our shirts on to cross the one road the trail crosses and just before we took them off we noticed a group of 7 riders coming so we just stood there till they passed.  As they passed we could briefly tell in our lights that they were naked.  What fun!” – SunnMaxx, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=85735&page=1

“I love being naked while I sleep and find it more restful.  I always sleep well but feel I sink more deeply into my body during sleep when I'm naked . . . I wake up more embodied.” – Isis, http://mic.com/articles/124242/6-reasons-you-love-being-naked-from-the-people-who-do-it-24-7?utm_content=bufferd269b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer#.qIWB7KIJz

“It would be rude and disrespectful to be fully clothed when embraced in the beauty of Mother Nature.” – Roy Snell, https://twitter.com/rodos1950/status/832172946009497600

“Body Acceptance.  Our culture has been brain washed by the Madison Avenue fashion experts who tell us in picture and words what a ‘perfect’ body is like.  How many times have you looked in the mirror and thought disparagingly at your body?  Not enough muscle, undefined abs, too little breast, wide hips, or not enough hair, and so it goes.  Naturism puts you in touch with your body and you see that others are ‘just like you.’  Plus, you realize that the ‘super models’ in life are really not that pretty nude and the magazine ‘centerfolds’ are definitely airbrushed.  Bottom line: you realize it doesn’t matter what you look like.” - Pastor Jeffery Bowman, https://lazeruslong.wordpress.com/2015/11/02/body-acceptance/
