QUOTES 3/3/2017

“In theory at least, our families are who we trust the most.  If bare-chestedness is important to you, talk to them about it. . . Explain why it is important, connect the dots for them regarding topfreedom, body shame, victim blaming, body pride, bullying, freedom, equality, etc.  Whatever your reasons are, share them.  Explain them.  And answer questions. . . When I first started, honestly, I really didn’t care much about what the ‘public’ thought of me, but I did feel anxiety about what my close family would think of my bare-chestedness.  But the conversations I’ve had on this topic with my family members, female and male . . . have been some of the most beautiful of my life.” - https://breastsarehealthy.wordpress.com/2016/06/19/how-to-go-bare-chested-without-creating-a-stir/

“If you're sitting on a picnic bench under a shady oak tree and it's 82 degrees and there's a nice breeze blowing, it feels a lot better to have that breeze blowing across your skin than on the outside of clothes you're sweating on the inside of.  The human body has this beautiful mechanism called perspiration for regulating its temperature.” – Lee Breslover, https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/everything-you-ve-ever-wondered-about-nudist-clubs-answered

“Being naked, and especially seeing others who are also naked, helps one to become more at ease with diverse body types, especially one’s own.” - https://naturistphilosopher.wordpress.com/2016/06/07/is-there-a-human-need-for-being-naked/

“Nudist vacations are the best.  They don’t require much if any luggage, which means faster check ins, no/low fees, and no wait at the baggage claim.  Road trips are even better because one only has to get dressed for gas stations.  Once at the destination, the clothes can be forgotten until the return trip, whenever that is.” - http://outgoingnudist.tumblr.com/post/116156353307/madeinthenude-nudist-get-away-nudist

“We need different kinds of advertising for nudism.  Advertising includes inviting people to nudist resorts, to become a nudist, to attend a nudist event near a person’s home, getting help with body image issues, getting help with overcoming the fear of the nude, voting in an election for a law of more legalizations of public nudity, helping with taking a survey for promoting nudism, taking a nude cruise, inviting people to nudist clubs, going nude when it’s practical to do so, to participate in nude recreation, positive messages on why going nude is better than wearing clothes for so many things, why to go nude, and letting people go nude if they’re comfortable.  We need advertising to be put up on billboards, television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/
