“The bowling alley near my house went out of business over the winter.  I can’t remember seeing a league night on their marquis in the last decade.  My father recently lamented to me that younger people don’t golf. . . And of course, us youngins don’t join nudist clubs anymore.  The fact is, we just don’t join clubs.  I’m forty and I [don’t] know of one person my age who is a Mason.  I don’t know anyone in a Knights of Columbus, a Rotary, a Chamber of Commerce, an Elks Club nor anyone who is a member of a Benevolent Association of Fill in the Blank.  Honestly, I have very few friends my age who belong to houses of worship and those that do, rarely go on their prescribed day to worship.  I can think of maybe five members of my nudie club who are under forty and I met each of them at the club. . . the nudist club community has to accept and adjust to what younger people want or younger people will simply spend our time doing other things.” - http://nomadgeeknudie.tumblr.com/post/146104765897/why-young-nudists-dont-join-clubs?is_related_post=1

“We Went Naked to a Big Festival For Young Adult Nudists, It Was Awesome”  (Video of Sunsport Gardens) - http://fusion.net/video/2375/we-went-naked-to-a-big-festival-for-young-adult-nudists-it-was-awesome/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialshare&utm_content=theme_top_mobile

“There are many reasons given by us naturists to get into the natural state and free your body and soul to the elements, but all of those reasons are invalid if you don't really want to do it.  There are many hundreds of males who . . . try to pressure their wife to join them at a club or beach. . . [However,] there are places and times to enjoy your own nudity without dragging an unwilling partner along.  (It can cause marriage break-ups!)  The thing I would heartily ask . . . is to not be worried about other people knowing you are a naturist. . . the only way we can get naturism more widely understood is to be candid and sincerely honest.  Maybe by doing that we'll . . . find all those reluctant females (or males!) suddenly thinking ‘That sounds so good and comfortable, I'll give it a whirl!  Enjoy your lifestyle choice, at ease!” – Patrick Thompson, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1071/don-039-t-push/

“Becky had planned to be nude for a few seconds and then put her suit back on and get out of there.  But this felt way too good and she was having too much fun.  She felt powerful and she didn’t want it to end.  She eyed the calm sea and figured she was already nude, she might as well go for a little swim and complete the experience.  Becky got up from her chair and walked towards the water at a brisk pace.  She didn’t feel the need to run, but she also didn’t want to take extra time to get noticed. She peeked around the rock wall to make sure the coast was still clear, literally.  There was nobody around, skinny dipping was a go! . . . After taking one more look down the shore, Becky left the cover of the water and made it back to her clothes.  She stood out in the open and felt the warming sun on her body, letting the moment last a bit longer.  She had done it, and she felt accomplished.” - The Nude Writer, http://thenudewriter.tumblr.com/post/145105892063/virgin-skin

“I have difficulty understanding what makes people fear or revile the naked human body, or the general need to connect nakedness only with the sexual act.  Why must we hide what should be as natural as breathing?” - http://thenakedhistorian.blogspot.com/
