“We need to build our culture to respect the human body as it is and not embrace the photoshopped body.  We can do this, if we all together stop being so afraid of breastfeeding in public, stop being afraid of seeing a topless woman in a park or beach, stop being afraid of people being different and stop being afraid of the naked body.  If you are afraid looking on the naked body, what scares you?  I think most people who are scared or offended by the naked body, in reality is afraid of their own body and their body image.  Instead they should take a look on themselves and think what can I change, so that I feel more confident in my own skin.” - http://spotnaked.com/kill-childrens-body-shame/5518/

“A Naked Cycle Ride” (Video) - https://vimeo.com/45652125

“My boyfriend Steve and I stood, naked . . . We were at CHM Montalivet . . .the resort is 175 hectares set in a pine forest and bordered by a huge section of white sand beach on the Atlantic coast.  There are around 1000 private bungalows on site, some of them owned by families who live there permanently, others let out to tourists in the summer months.  There is a corner shop, a boulangerie, a newsagent, a hardware store, a bicycle rental, several bars and restaurants, two swimming pools, a spa, an archery range, tennis courts, a cinema and a hairdresser.  It’s a town, really.  A naked town.” – Abihail Moss, http://www.refinery29.uk/my-first-time-at-a-naturist-resort

“Remove your clothing and body image hang-ups slip way.” - http://www.gogirlfriend.com/reviews/experiencing-naturism-21820

“The media is full of unrealistic examples of how we as women should look, clothed or nude.  No wonder we don’t want to be topless in front of one another; we live in constant fear of falling short of unattainable standards.  On top of that, it’s basically illegal for women to be topless in 35 of our 50 states.  Meanwhile, men have complete freedom.” – Natalie Brown, https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/how-nude-beaches-can-improve-body-image/

“. . . we need to strive to achieve our ideals — in the same way we might go to a church to meditate or pray, even though none of us are saints.  Naturism is a philosophy with ideals that require effort on our part.  I think that’s one of the reasons we attend social nudism events, even if our thoughts may not always be 100 percent pure when we are there.  Naturism events are as much educational experiences as they are pleasurable ones.” – https://jillianpage.com/2017/05/02/nudismnaturism-discrimination-against-single-men/
