“Robert Jenner . . . A carpenter who is also a naturist likes to . . . [work] in nothing but his work boots . . . he’s always careful using power tools ‘in case of splinters’ . . . while he carries out renovations around his one-bed semi-detached house.” – Ashitha Nagesh,  http://metro.co.uk/2016/09/11/naturist-carpenter-tries-to-avoid-splinters-while-doing-diy-in-the-nude-6121763/

“Our knowledge of real human bodies is not exactly entirely unknown to us, but the real thing is so nearly perfectly covered in darkness (or clothing) that the images shown us take on an over-sized space in that part of the brain where we might otherwise be storing the combined memories of thousands of naked bodies.  This collective ignorance of the human body results in a great deal of suffering as women strive to match the artificially constructed image of what a woman ‘should’ look like, largely in order to please men who similarly are attracted mostly to these same artificial women.  My proposal is that the only large-scale, sustainable, and efficient solution to this problem is not to focus on altering the media’s presentation of women (which will necessarily always be only a small quantity of the total amount of women we will see in our lifetime), but to encourage the expose of all humans to as many real-life humans as possible.  We must destroy the mystique of the human body which gives sexualized advertising its great power.  We must get naked, be seen naked, see others naked, encourage nakedness, celebrate nakedness.” - https://medium.com/@reformnaturism/keep-your-shame-to-yourself-teaching-gymnophobia-is-immoral-rough-needs-work-b7846e2e2a69#.7ohiv3soo

“Somewhere along the way, it became a tradition at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, Colorado, to ski the last day in April buck naked.  What may have started as a free-lift-ticket promotion became a beloved local tradition . . .” - Lachlan M.

“When I have to travel long distance . . . I rent a car.  On those occasions I do take the opportunity to drive nude.  On my last trip home last month, I rented a car and drove from DC to Boston in the nude.  Just last summer I took a week trip to FL.  I started out spending a few days in Miami and drove to Tampa, Orlando and back down to Miami.  A lot of time was spent on the road and I found it easy to drive nude.  I love driving nude because it really is enjoyable and relaxing. . . I drive at the same flow of the rest of traffic.  I also have a pair of shorts nearby in case I have to leave the car, which is normally to fill up on gas.  I make sure the shorts are the type that I can easily put on and take off.  I find short running shorts do the trick as they have no buttons or zippers.” – Croydon
