“Have been a Naturist for the last 44 years.  This is a Lifestyle by choice.  Nothing more Rejuvenating then being in the ‘All Natural’! . . . Wouldn't Live Life Any Other Way!  Now am Retired and more at liberty to ‘come out’ and talk about my choice of Lifestyle - Naturist For Life.” – Bob C McGehee Sr., https://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn

“Why is public nudity illegal?  Because it’s so difficult to ignore. . . [Nudity produces] an unpleasant mental state such as shame, disgust, or anxiety in observers. . . nudity has a unique ability to demand our attention. . . It’s difficult to say why nudity makes us so uneasy, but it’s clear that our aversion to nakedness is longstanding and probably religious in nature. . . public nudity . . . can be used as a weapon by either authorities or protesters.  Nudity has become an important tool in social movements.  In some cases, the naked body is merely an attention-grabbing spectacle.  People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, for example, has featured nude celebrities to great effect in advertisements.  For other groups, nudity is closely tied to the message.  Act up . . . believes that public figures avoid discussion of AIDS because it involves uncomfortable topics like sex and homosexuality.  Putting naked protesters in their offices is supposed to force them to confront taboos.” – Brian Palmer, http://blog.syracuse.com/opinion/2012/11/a_brief_history_of_the_fig_lea.html

“The oldest living forest is as sacred as it gets . . . and that is what Schulman grove of the ancient bristlecone pine forest is. . . This is not an official naturist territory, but being a part of the Inyo National Forest, it is a federal land, and there’s no federal law against nudity; needless to say we wanted to experience the hike in this ancient forest ‘as nature intended’, naked.  We of course picked the longest trail, which is ~4 miles, and didn’t see any other hikers.” - https://activenaturists.net/2017/02/20/walking-through-the-ancient-bristlecone-pine-forest/
