“I saw a guy hiking nude a couple weeks ago on a popular trail here in Altadena, California which I regularly frequent.  I was hiking back down close to evening on a weekday and saw a nude hiker and said ‘Hey buddy I've been thinking of trying that myself’ but kept walking because for some reason I was a little shy.  But it was the truth I had been reading about it and wanting to try it for months now.  So the very next day I hiked about halfway up the trail and disrobed.  Just my luck less than probably a minute after I started walking again two young couples are coming down the trail at me.  I was thinking uh oh but kept my cool and one of the girls giggled a little but the guys didn't look really thrilled about it.  I said hello and moved on and came across another couple with much the same reaction.  So I have gone naked hiking on the same trail like three times since last week all during the week mid-afternoon to evening. . . the only way to change people's opinions of doing this is for textile hikers to see it more often and I agree.  I will go out of my way to avoid families and weekend hikers though.” - NaturalHikingDude

“The novelty of being nude on a nude beach quickly wore off.  We were still naked, but it was no longer a big deal.  In our new-found comfort with ourselves and our surroundings, it was hard to believe we were so freaked out about doing this a mere few hours ago.  We had exaggerated the nudie experience so much in our heads . . . Most things in this world are not a big deal—it’s our fears that blow them up into one.  We fear judgement.  We fear failure.  We fear the unknown.  And the longer we sit on these fears the more time we give them to inflate and fester, thus limiting ourselves in how rich of a life we lead.” - Laura Van Antwerp, http://www.thetahoejournal.com/adventure/nude-beach/

“. . . the commercial stripping market is closely tied to prostitution.  It is not liberating when men pound beers and look at naked women as objects.  Both stripping and pornography live by double-standards.  It’s no accident that porn’s capital is the United States – a country where people have strong opinions about naked skin.” - Lars Egeland, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/natural-nudity-lars-egeland-naturist/

“Are you wearing clothes?  Take them off.  This includes your shirts and trousers, socks and hats, mittens and earmuffs, togas and tunics, bathrobes, towels and slippers, gowns and suits, vestments and burqas, coats and jackets, T-shirts and shorts… And, of course, undershirts and underpants and bras and willy warmers.  Take it all off!  That’s it!  Hope you enjoy your nudie time, I know I am.” - A simplified guide to being a naturist (Take it off!)
