QUOTES 3/1/2017

“We need to have meetings about nudism.  We have meetings in schools about how K-12 students do in class and class attendance also attended by parents and teachers.  We have meetings to solve city problems in cities.  We have meetings to discuss important issues of the community, city or town, a U.S. state, a country, many countries, or the whole world.  Why don’t we also have meetings about naturism as well? . . . They should be held near our own homes for many people to attend.  The whole family should attend the meetings, due to nudism being something for the whole family. We need people who are experts on naturism to tell the people in attendance of the meetings about it. . . The things to talk about nudism include its myths, facts, promotion, acceptance, movement, practice, benefits, education, and progress. . . becoming nudists, ending body shame, asking to increase the number of nudist places, and how to be free of clothes more.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“ALL clothes are awful and should be banned. . . The real problem with the burkini ban is, it’s too limited.  Forbidding a specific type of swimsuit won’t achieve anything: we must ban ALL CLOTHES!  And the sooner the better.” – Dean Burnett, https://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2016/aug/25/beyond-burkinis-why-science-suggests-all-clothes-should-be-banned

“. . . nude hiking in the Peak District . . . was incredible and liberating - beautiful weather, hardly anyone about, expansive views and a feeling like you're the only one in the world.  Did a loop of 26km, which took 7.5 hours, 5 hours of which was boots-only which is the longest amount of time I've done to date.  Mid-week would have helped but I suspect even on a weekend there would be few on this route.  With almost no paths intersecting or overlooking it, and with good advance views, it is the perfect nude hiking location.” – kayaker, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=106384&page=last

“I don’t think lingerie has any place in nudism/naturism.  Lingerie sexualizes the body and when that type of clothing is mixed in with nudism it can no longer be considered non sexual. . . I was really surprised the first time I went to an AANR affiliated club that had a lingerie party at night.  It still baffles me a bit and makes me think that people just are not capable of living a regular life clothes free. . . it has to be some kind of sexual expression because they just cannot separate the two in their heads.” - https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/sexy-nudist-clothing-and-nudists-lingerie-party-debate-nudism/

"Damn those Puritans!  Made all that much worse by the Victorian Age which brought us crazy inventions like the girdle and petticoats.  Who, exactly, sat down and decided that it would be good for humanity to obscure every contour and curve of the female body, while at the same time, creating the ultimate phallic symbol known today as the – necktie?  We have yet to recover from this fashion disaster. . .” - https://meanderingnaturist.wordpress.com/2012/12/17/hey-what-about-naked-in-america/
