“We can no longer remain silent on nudism.  Remaining closeted on nudism won’t help promote the lifestyle.  It may have worked to remain closeted until some years ago, but not anymore.  The purpose of promoting nudism is to make the lifestyle accepted by the general population and help get more nude recreation and social nudity in more places.  Then more people can become nudists.  Keeping nudism a secret causes more aversion and rejection of nudism.  Let’s stop this cycle.  Coming out of the closet helps to gain nudist rights.  It’s the only way a nudist can be accepted by others . . .” - Jose Arellano, White Paper

“Inside the naturist community at Bare Oaks, clothing is only used for protection, whether it be from the cold or from work that might injure your body. . . Karen Grant gardens with her husband Bruce.  Karen believes living at the naturist park has brought a level of comfort and stability for her children. . . Imagine a campground where people perform everyday tasks but without a stitch of clothing on.  Mowing the lawn, coffee with friends, dinnertime with family members, even board meetings with colleagues — at this camp, there were no exceptions to the no clothes rule. . . many embraced jogging or daily hikes, relishing in the gentle breezes of the woods.  Many of the park’s visitors love to swim and said repeatedly they couldn’t understand how anyone would want to wear a wet soggy bathing suit while swimming.  You quickly learn that clothing is only used as a tool. . . you can see people tanning, reading, barbecuing, socializing, swimming, walking the dog – and just about anything else you see in any campground.” (Short Audio Clips Included) – Mark Blinch, https://widerimage.reuters.com/story/the-bare-oaks-naturist-park?utm_campaign=web-share&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter

“I demand the right to sunbathe nude in my garden, and so should we all.” – Mike S.

“I like to swim in the nude, I like to walk the beach in the nude, but you wouldn't catch me playing tennis in the nude . . . It's just not 'pretty' nude to me.  Other people play tennis in the nude.  We encourage people to be nude whenever it's comfortable for them.” – Nancy Tiemann, https://www.thrillist.com/sex-dating/nation/bare-necessities-benefits-of-clothing-optional-cruises

“I was surprised by the unlikely diversity of what I saw.  I love the fact that certain body parts are available in all shapes, sizes and colors, with and without hair, with or without wrinkles, with or without fillings.” - Emilia van Hauen, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1099/balls-and-sausage-therapi/
