And of course, this is the exact goal of breastfeeding mothers everywhere.

I think I will go out on a limb and say that breatsfeeders and nudists do 
*not* have this goal in mind. Matter of fact, I think the overwhelmingly
vast majority don't either.

This sounds like your problem, not theirs, which is another thread in the
topic. Why are people so defensive about nudity? The only valid point I
have seen (and it was made by alleycat in the above post, which I 
edited out by accident-- sorry) is that clothes absorb sweat, which is a good
thing when you take a recently vacated seat. Ick.
