“Now, let's be clear about something. When you hear that someone has a problem with
nudists, there's a tendency to say they have a problem with the human
body. That's not true, of course. No one gets freaked out or bans someone from
a public pool for showing too much clavicle or displaying a brazen amount of
scapula. . . this is about penises and vaginas.
That's it. And it's not just the
appearance of them, but what they suggest: sex.
Somehow, some people can't get their mind around the fact that a penis
and a vagina can just exist; they assume, if exposed, they will be used. . .
[Naturists] are well aware they will constantly have to explain they are not
swingers or molesters. People seem to
conveniently forget that the overwhelming number of sexual predators not only
come fully dressed, but also usually in some pretty officious duds, i.e.,
clergy, coaches and teachers. But it's
the mention or suggestion of penises and vaginas that get people worked up and
delivered to a dark place where things such as conservative values of personal
freedom and responsibility go to die.” - http://www.ocweekly.com/news/why-did-huntington-beach-ban-naturists-from-a-public-pool-they-had-used-for-years-7133568
“I have lots of sarongs, different colors and sizes
and find them perfect for a quick cover up and very comfy to wear. I always have one near the front door for
when anyone calls and use them on the beach too. I guess as I'm a woman they're easy to wear
but I've seen lots of men wearing them too and they really just look like a
thin towel around their waists. It’s so
much easier to use a sarong that trying to put on shorts.” – Shiraz, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=20909.0;topicseen
“I go hiking nude with one or more TN friends on many
of my trips in the USA including some trails in several US National Parks and
in state parks. . . it isn't always possible, but when it is we enjoy it. We have occasionally accidently run into
clothed hikers while nude, but no major problems with them.” – Romhiker, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=5214&idt=101797&page=last
“. . . public nudity is a great leveller. As soon as someone is naked, you can’t tell a
thing about who they are or what they do for a living. You can’t tell what they earn, what kind of
status they have. Once naked, we’re all
kind of equal. Yes, there’s a huge
diversity in body shape and size, but strip us of our designer labels and the
clothes that we feel make a statement of who we are and you’re left with
flesh. It differs in shade, in sagginess
and in volume, but we’re basically all just sacks of meat. Expose that, and all our flaws, and it’s a
mixture of liberation and sharing of innate vulnerability. After a very short while, all the breasts,
buttocks and penises merge into a flesh-colored blur and you really forget
you’re naked.” - https://macpsych.me/2016/08/28/nudity-the-great-leveller/
