“There is a new ‘Families Association’ in the USA . . . the American Naturist Families Association (ANFA). . . ANFA strives to provide recreational activities and events which help to train youth on the moral and wholesome way of life and help them learn body approval, interaction with nature, environmental conservation and family values in a way which helps promote the concept that naked IS NOT lewd or sexually deviant while teaching acceptance to all people regardless of social class, race or ethnicity, gender, or religious breeding. . . Naturism is a wholesome lifestyle that helps reduce depression, sexual tension and misconceptions and boosts positive social attitudes and respect toward individuals. . . In addition to living the principles of naturism, their chief focus is on teaching the significance of family and family acceptance to better help other family members contend with individual needs and opinions.” - https://storify.com/EnglandPearce77/naturist-family-association-for-naturist-families?utm_content=buffer83c04&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

“I am fortunate to have my own family, where I can be free not only of shame, but of secrets.  At home, I no longer need to listen for car doors, and our shower is clear glass.  Sometimes our kids join in.” – Nick Alimonos, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naturist-story-part-5-finding-naked-paradise/

“Mom told me when I was 48 that as an infant I loved to tug my diapers off and sit in the cool sand under our house in the Summer heat of Central California.  In 2003 I made connection with that former little me, and have gone on to join naked-loving people the world over.  Now 71, it's just better still!” – Claude Armstrong, http://modelsocietymagazine.com/the-embody-project/

“. . . investigators, from the world-renowned Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, concluded that avoiding the sun is actually as bad for you as smoking.  The study, in the Journal of Internal Medicine, found that 1.5 women in 100 who reported they had the highest exposure to ultraviolet light (by sunbathing up to once a day) were found to have died during the two decades, compared with three in 100 for women who said they had avoided sunbathing.  The avid sunbathers had a significantly lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and other conditions that were not related to cancer . . . the research also found that: ‘Non-smokers who avoided the sun had a life expectancy similar to smokers in the highest sun exposure group, indicating that avoiding the sun is a risk factor for death of a similar magnitude to smoking.’” - Lake Edun's Bare Facts June 2016, Personal email
