“When I see others in covering and provocative clothing, there is curiosity, there is a sexual tease, both are inherent to clothing.  Clothing is meant to be sexy and attractive . . .” – Jbeegoode, http://www.hikingnaked.com/index.php?topic=1333.32;topicseen

“I guess it is scary telling people.  If you get a bad reaction it is too late and you cannot say ‘forget what I just said and let's continue as before’!  What would be very interesting would be to know if . . . people whom you told change their opinions and attitudes over time.  Don't forget, when you first told them they probably had never considered naturism in a positive light so when you tell them about your interest they don't know what to think or what to say.  If you just continue to talk about naturism and what you do in a positive way that may well affect their opinions and attitudes.  The other point is that people like to gain approval by responding in the expected way - just consider any political club, the Conservatives would all boo at the things that would cause Labor to cheer - it is just the same with naturism as the ‘prude club’ have a pre-canned set of responses.  You have caught them off-balance as none of their pre-canned responses are appropriate. . . But, continue to discuss naturism positively and you may bring them on side.” – John, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=11560.425

“But when practiced in its purest form and by true nudists, nudism creates an atmosphere of respect for others, personal space is now respected to a higher degree, people tend to feel less aggressive and more vulnerable and as a result, sexual impulses or drives are diminished.  While in a social nude setting, most people make far more eye contact and tend to listen more intently to what people are saying.” – Jordan Blum, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/true-nudists-on-pure-nudism-real-nudist-naturists/

“Five famous people who enjoyed nakedness: Eugene O'Neill (Writer), Eva Mendes (Actor), Ewan McGregor (Actor), Framke Janssen (Actor), Fred Rogers (TV Actor - Mister Rogers' Neighborhood).

“Nude activity doesn’t have to depend on the sun.  For example, you could hike nude through a shady forest, or enjoy a nude jog in a warm spring shower.  Indoor naturism is popular as well.  And skinny-dipping by moonlight is a time-honored tradition.  So, naturism can be enjoyed in and out of the sun.” - http://livenaturism.com.ve/en/nudism-forest-woods/
