“To walk through quiet forest trails without clothing, in the same natural condition as is all about you, is to experience a closer kinship with the power of creation than even the glories of great churches and temples can provide.” – Donald Johnson, http://thoughtsonnaturism.tumblr.com/post/136751953235

Best Nude Beaches in the Caribbean – “Guests who stay at the all-inclusive Couples Tower Isle resort in Ocho Rios (Jamaica) have access to a 19-acre private, offshore island with a pristine beach where nude sunbathing is welcome.  You just hop on the private ferry that shuttles you over to the island in minutes.  Once there, you can lounge on the sun deck, take a dip in the pool, and swim up to the cabana bar for a cocktail.” - http://www.experiencify.com/adventure/nude-adventures/caribbean-nude-beaches/

“. . . history becomes ‘sanitized’ to somehow conveniently leave out things like the fact that the ancient Greeks played Olympic games in the nude.  Or that they worked out in the nude. Even the fact that ‘gymnasium’ stems from the root gymno, meaning ‘naked’ because you went to the gym to work out in the nude.  We celebrate democracy and trial by jury as gifts from ancient Greek culture, but the naked workout is lost to the ages.  Well fight back!  Go outside into your back yard if you have a privacy fence and run a relay naked. For old time's sake.” – Bare Platypus, http://bareplatypus.blogspot.com/2012/07/remember-olympics-used-to-be-naked.html?spref=tw

“. . . the body can perform its functions the best when we are naked.” – Nate Dekan, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=2925&idt=17173&vpage=1
