“You never feel at home unless you’re in your own home, where you can be naked . . .” – Gigi Engle, http://elitedaily.com/life/nudist-world-full-of-clothes/1172391/

“. . . it is as if the skin lights up to stimulus and then quiets with the wind, as though there is no boundary between, only a one.  All is an integrated part of the universe. This is truly naturism.  I am truly alive, fascinated and in awe with so much and always another miracle to be experienced with each moment, not just outside, but within.” – Jbeegoode, https://thefreerangenaturist.org/2016/04/26/intimacy-in-observations-as-one/

“Benefits of nudism for women: bodily acceptance (understanding that each body is unique and there is no perfect body) real aesthetic values, self-confidence (learning to love your body and yourself), security before others (leaving behind The appearance and the burden before the others), comfort (no brasier, not discomfort), freedom (to do, to be, to think, to speak as you want), empowerment (to be able to decide).” - http://desnudologos.blogspot.mx/2017/03/desnudologos-episodio-2-conferencia-se.html

“Best Nude Beaches in Europe - Paradise Beach (Mykonos, Greece):  Depending on when you go, the bodies on this stretch of beach can either be fully clothed, topless, or totally nude.  The crowd ranges from college coeds to septuagenarians, all looking to enjoy themselves.  Paradise Beach offers amazing scenery, a picturesque shoreline, and two vibrant beach bars (Tropicana and the Sunrise Bar).  One TripAdvisor traveler raved about ‘swimming in the blue waters and lying on the white sand in a place where humans celebrate the good parts of life…Mykonos is positive energy at its best…just paradise.’” - http://www.experiencify.com/adventure/nude-adventures/european-nude-beaches/

“People from all walks of life have left their inhibitions on the sand and stripped off for the fourth annual Sydney Skinny ocean swim. . . at Cobbler's Beach on Sunday . . . naked people 'momentarily freeing themselves from the stifling shackles' of modern society by taking a swim in the buff.  To some it’s about destroying negative body image, to others it is a chance to strip back to the bare essentials with a community of like-minded individuals. . . Founder Nigel Marsh said he wanted to create an event that would give people the same sense of empowerment that can come from completing an ocean swim or running a marathon without the restriction of clothing.  'It's meant to be a joyous circuit breaker; one people can project their own meaning onto.  Maybe that's moving on after a bereavement, possibly it's a celebration after beating cancer, perhaps it's embracing a positive body image after having a mastectomy.'” - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3467733/Did-say-beach-bums-Dozens-Australians-bare-charity-strip-skinny-dip-raise-funds.html
