“A fair bit of the Caribbean’s allure is being immersed in the primal elements of sun and sea, letting the natural forces strip away the stress and pretense of daily life.  For some, the immersion is total; even the last fig leaf of a string bikini or a Speedo is too much to bear.  And so they go bare: nude recreation away from home, aka the nakation, is booming, not just among leftover hippies from the Boomer generation, but among their adult kids and Gen X travelers too.  A survey by the American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) found that 23% of Millennials and 18% of Gen X-ers are interested in nude travel. . . naturists who were once confined to the occasional romp on a secluded strand can now indulge in other clothing-optional activities.” – Steve Blount, http://experience.usatoday.com/caribbean/best-of-caribbean/nude-adventures-in-the-caribbean/11101521/

“My rural setting allows me to do quite a bit outside sans any clothing.  But for things like mowing the front yard I need some cover in case a car comes down the road which I could not hear due to the mower.  So years ago I got creative and made some ‘barely there’ shorts.  I took a pair of cotton boxers and cut away the crotch material and slit the sides.  What was left was an elastic waist band with flaps of fabric hanging front and back.  To someone driving by they pass for shorts, covering enough.  Even up close my junk and butt crack are covered.  The advantage is that there is nothing restricting my genitals and just the slight feel of the waist band touching me.  To the textiled they would feel totally exposed, but I feel overdressed.” – Noodengr, https://www.truenudists.com/group/you-know-youre-a-nudist-/1/109199/

“We capped the nude year off in late October with our annual Hot Tub and Square Dance Party overnight at our house.  With ten participants, we had enough for a square, so we did square dancing, (circular) barn dancing, and the Virginia Reel.  The hot tub is always welcome afterwards or first thing in the morning before the final breakfast.” – Milt, Skinny Trippers email

“Foreign holidays are also a time many will go skinny-dipping but deny being a Naturist and would never do the same thing back home.  They are only comfortable whilst they have the excitement of the holiday to explain their enjoyment of nudity, albeit short lived.” – Roni Fine, http://www.bn.org.uk/news/information/about-naturism/roni-writes/how-naked-is-a-naturist-r392

“I'm positive that naked activities and exercise and the vitamin D gained during nude recreation has improved my health, even aside from the fact that normalizing the body fixed my head.” - Kenfreehiker
