“Human Swimsuit - We all own the best swimsuits ever made. . . Society wants us to wear clothing while we swim for ‘decency’s’ sake.  What’s the point?  They cling to the body and accentuate or call attention to areas they cover.  Seems pretty counter to the point. . . There’s few things as freeing as swimming without a suit.  It’s strange feeling the water flow unimpeded at first, but like nudity it’s quickly forgotten.  The same can be said for seeing others nude.  We’re all missing a huge opportunity by not taking advantage of swimming the way we should be.  It’s healthy and costs us nothing.  We just have to have the courage to embrace it.” - http://thenakedtao.tumblr.com/post/130637094112/cloptzone-madeinthenude-human-swimsuit-we

“I did end up taking off my clothes very briefly later in the day as I went for a walk in the woods . . . It was truly one of the strangest and simultaneously liberating feelings I’ve experienced in a long time.  I walked on a trail surrounding a medium-sized lake.  The sun was shining through in patches but the trail was, for the most part, covered.  I made my way apprehensively onto the beach and stood alone, in the middle of the sand, overlooking the lake. . . I realized how far I had surpassed my comfort zone, and how much I enjoyed it.” - http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/a-girl-shares-her-new-to-nudism-story-new-dism/

“Since I don’t believe a dress code is included in our DNA . . . The assumption is widespread that there is a ‘time’ when family nudity . . . is inappropriate [because of the assumption] . . . that nudity and sexuality are . . . very closely linked. . .  Just because you believe in something, doesn’t make it so.  What little scientific research that has been done on family nudity demonstrates that children are not harmed by seeing their parents’ nude.  Indeed, there are scientific studies that show that children raised seeing other nude humans derive positive benefits from the experience. . . in the context of non-sexualized family or social nudity.  Simple nudity is not seductive.  It does not invite or cause sexual arousal or ‘confusion’ for children or anyone else.  The linkage of nudity and sex is post puberty, adult phenomenon. . . there is good reason to believe that making nudity a taboo, and a source of shame and punishment leads to negative consequences. . . Naturists have always insisted that non sexualized social nudity has a positive impact on children and adults by normalizing the human body and socializing children to not link nudity and sex.” – Ed, March Issue of “Bare Facts” from “Lake Edun Foundation” email.
