“While most professionals dress to impress when meeting potential new business contacts, the Finnish attitude is definitely that less is more.  In a country where winter temperatures struggle to make it above freezing, the tradition of sauna developed as a way to keep toasty on even the most frigid of days.  Not only is it an activity which the Finns enjoy with friends, it is also a common way to meet and mingle with business associates.  Sweating in the nude might not sound like the best way to sell yourself and your business ideas, but it may be just the icebreaker needed to get conversation flowing. . . the secret to naked networking is to simply relax and not get too hung up on any pre-planned sales pitch.” – Matthew Jenkin, http://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network/2016/jan/07/naked-networking-business-contacts

“I strongly feel that the best way for us to promote nudism and our way of living is for us to become more open about it.  As long as we continue to hide the fact we are nudists the more we sustain the misconception that we are ashamed of what we are doing.” – George Winlock, https://www.facebook.com/groups/PromotingNudism/

“Once you are nude with your friends it just seems like the most normal thing in the world.” - https://twitter.com/ohionaturist/status/784022076332109824

“What began as a dare soon became a passion when I very quickly realized that the weirdest thing about being naked was that it didn’t feel weird at all. . . Being naked at home became the norm, but that then prompted me to take the freedom outdoors. . . I look for quiet, yet inspiring wilderness areas . . . I do take a cotton ‘hiking kilt’ with me in case I encounter others in-route who might not appreciate the freedom of being clothes free… But I have yet to use it – even when some hikers wandered past me while I was swimming in a river.  They waved and said hi.  They understood.  I now go hiking almost every weekend – sometimes solo, sometimes with a mate – but always making time to ditch the clothes and go for a swim, a sun bake, some naked contemplation or a cheeky wander.  Not only has the clothes free life encouraged me to explore the beauty of nature and the freedom of the wilderness, but also, surprisingly, increased my body-confidence.  When you’re naked, there is no pretense… just freedom.” - https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/06/11/clothes-free-adventures-in-nature/

“. . . just the exposure to diverse naked bodies seems to have a strong impact on women’s self-image. . . Social nudity can really help body image and that is a fact!” – Felicity Jones, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nude-women-body-should-see-other-girls-naked-bodies/
