QUOTES 7/6/2017

“So many equate nudity with freedom, body positivity, self-confidence, equality and other principles by default, and they want people to post nude pics to ‘prove’ themselves.  But, perhaps nudity, in and of itself, doesn’t really mean anything at all until we choose how we engage it.” – hontouniheart, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/06/01/wow-what-is-freedom-to-us/

“Research shows that children raised in nudist homes are more self-confident, more self-accepting, and more sexually well-adjusted than their non-nudist child counterparts.  There are no studies to show that non-sexual nudity is bad for children.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“Becoming a mom gave one woman the courage to love her body — that's when she became a naturist - On a scorching day in August two summers ago, Andrea Alves walked naked into a park with her 5-month-old son while her husband, Peter (name changed), went to work.  That was the day Alves, a 31-year-old elementary school teacher, adopted naturism as a way of life.  A part of it, she says, is to be ‘self-confident and comfortable being naked both at home and in a naturist environment.’” – Kinjal Dagli-Shah, http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/1118251/naturism

Best Nude Beaches in the Caribbean – “St. Martin consists of two countries, The Netherlands and France.  The French side is home to the fully nude Orient Beach, also known as the ‘St. Tropez of the Caribbean.’  It's a tropical beach with soft sand and coral reefs that provide unbelievable snorkeling.  According to one TripAdvisor traveler, ‘Orient Beach was one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever visited.  A ‘sun worshipers’ paradise.’  The island, in general, is pretty lax when it comes to topless sunbathing, but on Orient Beach it's not uncommon to see entire families roaming around in the buff and snorkeling in the crystal clear blue water.” - http://www.experiencify.com/adventure/nude-adventures/caribbean-nude-beaches/

“It's not really a vacation if we don't get in some bare time.  We visit nudist resorts from time to time (even a nude cruise or two) but have to balance that enjoyment with our budget.  We have spent as many as ten wonderful days in a nude venue.  Usually we mix a stop at a nearby park along with local sightseeing, visiting relatives, souvenir shopping, and the usual stuff you do on vacations.  We do make a point of telling local businesses that we patronize that a nudist park or destination was a factor in visiting the area.” – Bare Platypus, http://bareplatypus.blogspot.com/2013/02/in-nudist-home.html?spref=tw
