“If you stop wearing clothes, then you don’t need to buy them anymore.  Just think of the amount of money you’ll save by reducing your clothing budget to zero.  Even if you need clothes for certain occasions, they’ll last for a really long time because you hardly ever wear them.” – http://www.chacha.com/gallery/3777/10-reasons-you-should-stop-wearing-clothes

“Joe and his wife … are regular [nude] hikers and every day they head out into the desert for miles of walking with a friend’s boxer dog named Sparkle. . . I visited the couple in their comfortable modular home at the back of the park.  Every family photo on display was nude, there was their nude daughter with a motorcycle, there was their nude son in law with their nude second daughter.  Clearly, this was a lifestyle that was far more than a hobby.  I asked her about the photos, she said that she wanted to get photos of her grandsons in the nude, but her daughter was afraid to have them developed at a local CVS, so they sent her a digital camera.  The photos brought home the point that, to Joe and Jeana, nude is normal.  Nude is what makes them comfortable and whole.” – Max Hartshorne, From Tom Pine’s Special Report, file:///C:/Users/Owner/Downloads/The%20Naked%20Truth%20Naturists_vol_16_Special%20Report_no_03.pdf

“Many parents are reluctant to allow their children to be naked during play or sleep.  When they explain this to the child they often do not use moral reasons, but pseudo-practical ones (such as, ‘You might catch a cold’).  Parents also transfer their discomfort with nakedness to the naming of body parts, often using vague terms such as ‘it’ or ‘down there,’ rather than penis, scrotum, vulva, clitoris, and anus.  Frequently, the genitals and perineum are not mentioned at all.” – Bill Peckenpaugh (bishop-abbot with the Independent Catholic Church of America), http://nudebeaches.co.nz/nudism_and_families.html

“If anything has brought me freedom it was naturism, the actual being out of clothes.” – https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/12/17/the-introverted-naturist/

“I drove a U haul truck from Sacramento to LA with only my shoes on. . . Discretion won out at gas and snack stops. I was going to pump gas nude when it occurred to me that many gas stations have cameras and patrons have cell phones.  Gym shorts are handy.  I was able to have a soda at a rest stop overlooking Pyramid lake.  I parked away from others and sat on the wall watching the moon over the lake and canyon.  Beautiful sight and feeling. . . My wife and I have driven 60 miles from a nude resort to home in the nude.  Great fun.” – 85Springer, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=860&page=2
