“Basically, I feel like the more you and your parents
get along and treat each other with respect, the more likely they are to be
cool with you being more naked around the house. If they are cool with it, I would suggest
pushing things a little bit at a time.
Maybe stop wearing bras at home.
Then, if they don't complain, after a while, stop wearing
pants/skirt/shorts/whatever, but leave your panties on. If that flies, take your shirt off, and then
go completely nude. They will probably
ask why you're doing this. Just say
honestly why you like to be naked.
Hopefully they'll listen and not have a problem with it.” – Nia
“Went boat camping last week and found lotsa hiking to
be had nearby. I set up camp on the shore of Lake Hatchineha, then clad only in
water shoes and carrying a GPS went for a stroll. This was a Friday morning,
and there was hardly any boat traffic on the lake. Figured I probably wouldn't
see anyone, so didn't bother with 'emergency' Native American aprons. I only went about 2 miles, since I was wearing
water shoes, not hiking shoes. . . Didn't see any people this trip, but watched
a bald eagle pair circling overhead, and of course saw the usual rabbits,
turtles, etc.”- Campingbare
“I like the fact that we all become equal no matter
who you are with, banker, joiner, farmer or CEO – we are all the same and see
the most-true picture of a human being when being clothes free.” – Roger, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/11/20/a-sophisticated-naturist/
“[Naturists] “They're rebels . . . they stand up
against all the rules of church and society, and even some of our laws. A lot of them risk a stigma that could cost
them their jobs . . . They do it just because it feels good . . . that is a
completely anti-capitalist thing: you don't need to purchase anything to be happy.”

“I stand on this beach while waves crash all around
and my mind drifts back to the summer.
Have you explored the beach as a naturist? Not just left the nice fluffy towel and
cooled off in the sea, but engage with the natives who live here. . . Being
naked you can join them, get right in; the pool is beautiful, clear, exceeding
any spa or Jacuzzi in visual appeal.
Shrimps nibble your toes, a foot spa treatment at no cost. Fish nip out to see who has arrived, your
skin cools from the hot sun and life is wonderful. Naturism to me is this connection with the
bigger world, my skin is an evolutionary masterpiece. Here I sit in my pool under a blue sky and
constant messages flow to my brain about my surroundings. The slightest change in the water registers;
I am in tune with every little sensation.
In this increasingly insular and disconnected world I think we should
all take time to just feel through our skin, to connect with ourselves and even
better still; share it with others just like us. Naked and natural the only way to live.” –

“We are those you might call nudists. . . Most of you
might . . . think of us as ‘kooks,’ or call us ‘perverts,’ but really all we
want is to have the same right of equality that everyone else has to enjoy the
freedom of expression of who we are without being told we are of lesser value
than others. . . We who seek full body freedom are not looking for special
privileges. We don’t want to be given
extra treatment of any type. All we want
is to do all the things everyone else does every day, all the time, but be able
to do so the way that is ingrained within us to do exactly the way we were born
. . . To deny us this most basic right is the rankest of bigotry and
discrimination.”

“Children are natural nudists — indeed, children seem
to default to that viewpoint — and at least at first most parents are generally
very open with their young. Depending on
how the parents were taught, and how the parents teach, the family may remain
comfortable with social nudity well past the time that children leave the
home. It may not be exciting, but a
quiet, peaceful, family nudism is nonetheless a valid dynamic that holds hope
for every future.” - http://artdayonline.org/dailyart_201603/
“I am nude most of the time . . . and definitely
prefer to be out on the trail, lying on a rock, or swimming in a river. I'm a naturist. I prefer nature.” – Jbeegoode, http://www.hikingnaked.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=4o93klaag06oaaqbmvguhrvi44&topic=1338.msg9851;topicseen#msg9851

“When it comes to accepting the human body, America is
the prude of the world. . . In seeking comfort through prudence, Americans have
undermined themselves by creating more shame and embarrassment than we sought

“In most situations, nakedness elicits a sense of
shame, and shame can be a powerful emotion, one that overrides our reason. . .
Those of us who long for a nude world continue to hide in anonymity, never
telling our coworkers, friends, or families what we believe. Though we can never hope to get rid of shame
entirely, we can change the things we consider shameful. . . nudism can become our tradition, so that when someone
in the future goes to a beach, the only exposure they’ll have to worry about is
exposure to the sun.” – Nick Alimonos, https://writersdisease.net/2015/11/24/why-dont-we-live-in-a-perfect-nude-world/
“I have always been a ‘nudie booty’ in my own
home. I would come home from work or
class and just shed my clothes. It's not
so much that I dislike clothes; I actually love them quite a bit. I love to be able to express myself with my
wardrobe, but when I want to relax, I don't want anything to do with them. . .
I like being naked at home.” - http://offbeathome.com/parent-nudity-in-house/
“People may think nudity is just ‘a thing you do’
within the home, within the locker room, going to or coming from the shower, or
in your private backyard provided the neighbors won’t see, but it can be more
than that because nakedness is the essence of
freedom! And freedom should be
unrestricted! Freedom is not free, so I
say there is and always will be a need to organize peoples’ efforts in support
of it. The opposite of managed freedom
is disorganized chaos! The opposite of
concentrated focus, is random, diffuse energy spread all around - yes it powers
the world, but it also lowers achievement to the lowest, slowest possible
level. To achieve something resembling
progress, or to define new, exciting, liberated, fun and very bold social
behaviors, we must articulate the fun of Burning Man, the purpose of the World
Naked Bike Rides, the spirit of naked 5K fun runs, the joy of nude beaches, and
the intent of non-sexual nudity as “bare freedom”.” - http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/138608213201/nudist-advocacy-organizations-is-there-still-any
“The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) may be the ‘vehicle’
bridging the social and ideological gap between the older world of
campground-style and resort-style nudism, and the new world of socially
acceptable (simple) nudity.” - http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/145994044566/nettys-nudism

“Despite most states permitting topless bathing, local
legislation tends to forbid it. . . it is allowed in Montana, Oregon, Colorado,
Texas and New York, and banned in Utah, Indiana, Tennessee. US cities where it is not advised include
Ashville, North Carolina, Austin, Texas, Boulder, Colorado, Columbus, Ohio, and
Portland, Oregon.” - http://elpais.com/elpais/2017/02/13/inenglish/1486989270_414513.html

“We grew up as a movement in a time when there were
quiet stretches of uninhabited beaches where we could relax in peace. Now those beaches are owned and under
surveillance. We need to change our
thinking to adjust to the new urban landscape, seeking and creating new local
venues, perhaps smaller, perhaps more contained, where we can relax in peace
and enjoy nature. This will take all of
us.” - http://artdayonline.org/dailyart_201601/
“Here's a good rule of thumb - it gets less weird the
more people are involved. Inviting one
person to hang out naked with you might make people question your
intentions. Inviting twenty people over,
on the other hand, is a naked party and probably seems kind of fun. Nude board game nights, nude movie nights,
etc. are a great way to introduce friends to the idea. In general, it's a lot easier to convert
people when you propose something to actually do. ‘Hey wanna go check out this nudist resort
with me? It sounds kind of awesome and I
want to try it’ is usually an easier sell than ‘Wanna sit around naked at my
house?’ . . . The best advice I can offer is not to try to convince people at
all. Just be open about it, treat it
like anything else. Let people know your
summer plans when they ask what you're doing, tell them what you did over the
weekend when they ask what you did.” – ejp, https://www.reddit.com/r/nudism/comments/5zdrgp/thank_you_from_a_new_convert/
“People who like to be naked often identify themselves
as ‘naturists’, because lack of clothing puts one in direct physical contact
with the inorganic elements of nature, and also induces a sense of kinship with
nonhuman living things, all of which are naked themselves.” - http://ldsnaturism.blogspot.com/p/advantages.html

“Most nudists, try to go gently into the subject of
nudity at home, or having others experience your nudity, and do not press this
issue. Rather than asserting themselves,
they kowtow to others. Maybe you don’t
think of this as surrendering to someone else’s preferences, though, in a way,
avoiding any discussion is admitting that maybe you were incorrect and they
were right.” – Verygary, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/10/10/its-down-to-you/
