“At the beginning of American nudism, it was a direct import from Germany.  So it was very health oriented — they would take over a gym and they would do calisthenics and swim in the nude.  As it spread after World War II, when American nudism really took off, it was really just about hanging out and relaxing with your friends.  A lot of nudists will say that they’re just more relaxed when they’re naked.  It’s relieves stress. . . So it became less about a health movement and more about socializing and relaxing. . . That’s really how it was until now, there is sort of a new movement of young nudists who aren’t doing that but the classic American, nudists resort nudists are very much into hanging out by the pool and getting their tan.” – Mark Haskell-Smith, https://www.inverse.com/article/17249-we-were-supposed-to-be-fine-with-nonsexual-social-nudism-by-now-what-happened

“Everyone accepts each other as they are.  It doesn't matter if you have a surgical scar, had a mastectomy, have large breasts or small breasts, wide hips and a flat belly, or a little belly and narrow hips.  No one expects you to have a perfect body.  From the moment you remove your clothes, you will feel safe and comfortable, and free…free from your restrictive ‘second skin,’ free to truly relax, and free to just be you.  Why not indulge yourself in a luxury only nature can provide?” - http://www.aanr.com/about-aanr/from-a-womans-perspective

“The western world has become obsessed with clothes and scared to death of naked bodies in public.  Show some naked boobs in the wrong place and you will go to jail.  We are so disconnected from our naked bodies that we think it is unnatural being naked.  We have been taught that nakedness is something to be scared off, something wrong, something to hide.  Truth is: We are all born naked.  Not with some fancy clothes. . . Why can we be arrested for being naked, when as human beings, we are born naked?” – Adina Rivers, http://mytinysecrets.com/would-you-dare-to-walk-around-naked-all-day-well-this-girl-did-15-eye-opening-pictures/

“It’s too hot to wear clothes today – make public nudity legal.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“Today was a beautiful spring day, the sky was sunny and blue.  It warmed up to 80 degrees and it was perfect tanning weather.  All my friends stayed the night last night as well as my sister’s best friend.  So we had house full of nude girls running around all weekend.” - http://nudisuzie.com/
