QUOTES 9/22/2016

“Every home should be nude-friendly. . . We can agree to ban clothes starting at home.  As soon as we get home from work or school as weather permits, why not forget about clothes for a while?  This means clothing-optional rules in the home.  What happens when someone knocks the door or rings the doorbell to come in?  What if there are guests and even have a sleepover?  Will they be okay with seeing us naked?  At least certain clothes should be banned at home. . . If clothes are banned in a home, there should be agreement between the residents of the home and their acquaintances and others who knock the door on them. . . Banning clothes in a home can lead to a better home and more quality time with the people we live with.  If it becomes a rule in more and more homes, we can then progress to advance it to other places.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“Do something nude you’ve never done before.  Push the limits and never hold back.  We’re active naturists.  No sitting around the pool or playing shuffleboard for us. . . Being active and nude isn’t crazy.  It’s how we were meant to live.  It’s the ultimate natural way. . . Nudism and naturism can be an adventure in and of itself, but it is enriched when combined with our daily lives.” - http://thenakedtao.tumblr.com/post/127157380022/madeinthenude-naturist-adventure-shake

“For girls especially, there is so much pressure in our society to be a perfect size.  As a result, there is a whole generation of people killing themselves to meet a standard that is impossible.  Part of living a naturist lifestyle is accepting your body and regaining a normal body image.” - Nicky Hoffman, http://socalnaturist.org/articles/nudism_in_US.html

“. . . the United States and Europe went from a mostly outdoors agrarian society to a mostly indoors manufacturing one.  Then people started driving around in vehicles surrounded by windows.  Glass prevents any vitamin D production because it blocks the Sun's UV.  When air-conditioning became widely available starting in the late 1950s and then got cheaper in the 1970s, people stopped keeping their windows open.  Fixed-pane units became increasingly popular.  The only sunlight that reached us in our homes and workplaces came through UV-stopping glass.  The last straw was sunblock.  It did not even exist until thirty years ago.  The initial UV-reducing creams, which cut exposure only in half, were marketed in the 1950s to promote tanning, not totally screen out ultraviolet rays.  Then, in the 1980s, a new product came on the market: sunblock.  With SPF (sun protection factor) numbers such as 30 and 45, sunblock essentially stops the body's vitamin D production cold.  At the same time, people were advised to cover themselves with these lotions throughout the summer months.  Even the medical establishment urged hiding from the Sun as a way to counter skin cancer.  The metamorphosis was complete: we had become like the Morlocks in H. G. Wells's book The Time Machine, shielded almost totally from sunlight's UV.” - Bob Berman, http://www.nudist-resorts.org/talk/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6347

“Since we're nudists, some of the process of documenting high points in our lives means snapping a picture or two of us wearing nothing at all. . . . we do have some tasteful pictures of us in our natural state... and a few of those adorn shelves or walls in our homes.  Visitors will think what they will.” – Bare Platypus, http://bareplatypus.blogspot.com/2013/02/in-nudist-home.html?spref=tw
