“When I was a kid, my father always used to sunbathe nude in our garden at weekends.  In public pools children of all ages were allowed to run around naked all the time.  Even today, I'm comfortable with getting naked in the sauna or gym changing room.  Maybe it's because I'm German. . . Forget sausages and beer, the sign of true German-ness is publicly disrobing with absolutely zero self-consciousness.” – Marcel Krueger, http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/06/travel/naked-germany/index.html

“I fear that many people do not try to reduce the risk of cancer and other skin ailments by exposing their skin to what sunshine is available sufficiently early in the year, in order to gain a protective suntan and natural resistance to sunburn which is needed in the height of summer or on holiday overseas where UV rays are more intense. . . Why is it a requirement to be completely naked?  It is because textile clothing, however small or light, will harbor bacteria that may cause skin infections especially when we perspire.” – http://www.morpethherald.co.uk/news/letters/health-the-benefits-of-daring-to-bare-1-7989186

“Naturism is in its essence a profoundly human and social experience.  Participate with couples and families.  Naturists are literally stripped; they have nothing to hide.  Nudity makes us open, honest and sociable. . . Thanks to the open and frank spirit of our naturist world changed (oh, how our society could learn from these values!), those who were our friends that we present to their friends, who in turn have become our friends.  Going in the pool, a ‘Hello’ was transformed into a little chat about the time that ended up in long conversations.  At the next meeting, these people still remembered our names, and we theirs.  Taken to seek a remedy against the gradual reduction of the real and social friendships are not just names on Facebook.  Naturism is certainly a lifestyle you should consider . . .” - http://osnaturistas.com/en/noticias/o-naturismo-nos-leva-uma-vida-social-mais-real1/

“Body perfection is a myth.  Being happy in your skin is the perfection we should all seek.” – Syd, https://twitter.com/OnlyGoNatural/status/742884418277117952

“Actually, clothes freedom (the ability of any person to wear or not wear whatever they want without negative repercussions or consequences) can be a fair indicator of freedom in general within a given society.  From what I have seen in my travels abroad, liberty and self-determination tend to abound in the societies where clothes freedom exists.  In the societies where clothes freedom is denied, authoritarian hierarchy prevails and other personal freedoms are also at risk.” - http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nudity-colonization-textile-industry/
