“. . . this puritanical attitude toward nudity, brought on in recent years in large part by the rise of evangelical Christianity.  It is looked on as deviant behavior in many circles.  Nudists know it isn’t.  Nudists know the health benefits of being out in the sun without a stitch of clothing and, as was stated in at least one place, the concept of a clammy, wet bathing suit is an undesirable one when the option of not wearing one at all presents itself.” - http://artdayonline.org/dailyart_201607/

“. . . because naturism is still small stuff in the larger picture, it gains most from major events that aren’t set up as naturist or by naturists.  Examples: the World Naked Bike Ride and large-scale or well-publicized performances by artists like Spencer Tunick and Sarah Small. . . Also beneficial is acceptance or acquittal of women for being topfree, which involves an equality issue even if courts haven’t much recognized that.” – Jordan Blum, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nudism-and-sexuality-nudist-sex/

“. . . many traditional cultures around the world did not require women to cover their breasts until the intervention of Christian missionaries or introduction of Islam.  In locations where women are routinely topless, attitudes towards breasts are, unsurprisingly, different to places in which there are prohibitions on their exposure.” – https://theconversation.com/no-youre-not-hardwired-to-stare-at-womens-breasts-53449

“Going naked is great for healthy skin . . . It helps the elimination of sweat toxins that clothing can reintroduce to the body and better overall blood circulation.” - Dr. Michael Fiorillo, plastic surgeon and skincare expert, https://thenaturistpage.wordpress.com/2016/05/16/the-health-benefits-of-being-naked-how-stripping-down-is-good-for-you-today-com/
