“My property runs along the side of a single track country road (high hedges all along) with our drive way entrance some 20m from the house.  One lunch time I went to feed to chickens and ducks (naked as I nearly always do) and hence walked past our drive way (rare anyone passes) but on the way back to the house just as I got to the drive a car stopped (didn't pull in) as I was clearly visible  I didn't attempt to hide and walked over to the car (an elderly couple with a younger couple in the back), after an initial pause they ask for directions which I gave, they then thanked me and drove off.” – JMNude, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=1908.25;topicseen

“. . . Japanese phrase – ‘Hadaka no tsukiai’ . . . It basically means we’re all the same when we’re naked.  It’s a part of any open relationship with friends or in business, going to the bath is a place where you literally can’t hide anything!” - http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naked-news-roundup-yoga-pants/

“Ramsau, Austria – Gastehaus Luhrmann is the premier resort for naked winter enthusiasts.  Nudists will never run out of things to do.  There's an indoor swimming pool and sauna, champagne breakfasts, weekly barbecues, wine tastings, guided cross-country and snow shoe tours, tobogganing, night skiing and of course, just plain cross-country and alpine skiing — all done in the nude.” – Cailey Rizzo, http://mashable.com/2015/12/23/winter-nude-vacation/#fhYdDEIwmkqu

“I went for a 5-mile naked walk today, temperature was only 5 degrees C but there was no wind and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.  Days like this are relatively rare and with the leaves that are left glowing red in the sun and the crisp feel of the air it was a very special experience.” – Gildo, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=20694.0;topicseen

“Go to any naturist or nudist festival or celebration and you’re very likely to encounter a body painting competition.  While people have been adorning the human form for centuries, I cannot help but wonder why, in a culture where one of the key principles seems to be the freedom that people feel because they don’t get looked at, they would then paint themselves (or others) in a manner that invites observation.  Don’t mistake me – I’m not against the practice, and I’ve seen some superb examples of the art.  And tattoos and other body adornment abound in our society, some of them superb to look upon.  But if you feel better for not being looked at, why then use the body as a canvas that invites attention?” – Tarana, https://beunmasked.org/2016/10/10/hiding-behind-nakedness/
