“Naturism is not about sex, nor is it narcissistic.  Naturism is a place where the human body is celebrated, a juxtaposition to today’s society where being skinny or muscular is seemingly the priority and focus for many.” – Mark Blinch, https://widerimage.reuters.com/story/the-bare-oaks-naturist-park?utm_campaign=web-share&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter

“I always sleep in the nude - would not have it any other way.  I hate the way clothes feel on me when sleeping and how pjs and underwear waist bands cut into you.” – Orange Pretzel, http://www.littlethings.com/sleeping-naked-benefits/

“Vitamin D increases cell differentiation, suppresses growth signals, reduces cell proliferation, reduces the effect of IGF-1 (insulin- like growth factors) on cancer progression, and inhibits angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels in tumors).  Therefore, it is more likely that low vitamin D levels account for the rise in skin cancer incidences.  In fact, numerous studies show that low vitamin D status may actually contribute to the development of cancers of the skin, breast, colon, ovaries, and others.” – Elyn Jacobs, https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/sun-exposure-cancer/?gl=582828491&mpweb=144-1473256-442413327

“Madrid has given permission for public swimming pools to hold a 'no swimsuit day' after a campaign by nudist groups.  The mayor Manuela Carmena has written to all boroughs in the Spanish capital to say they are allowed to host clothes free days if they think it is appropriate.  The move, which has outraged right-wing politicians, came after a petition by the Association for the Development of Nudism calling for people's right to practice nudism in public places.” - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3678086/Swimming-pools-Madrid-hold-no-swimsuit-day-campaign-naturists-groups-practise-nudism-public-places.html

“If there’s something that really has to be done without clothing it must be swimming.” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2017/05/22/nudism-2-0/

“A naturist tends not to judge, but accepts differences.  In the textile world, you will be judged on your clothes, your home, your accent, etc.  In a naturist environment, you will not . . . I personally never was.  You will become friends with other naturists and will be greeted with a hello and a smile.” - https://nuetheureux.com/2015/02/23/7-bonnes-raisons-de-rendre-visite-au-village-naturiste-le-plus-pres-de-chez-vous/
