“Clothes compulsiveness needs to come to an end.  Clothes are made with such harmful chemicals that they are slowly but surely killing us.  That is also a waste of energy, time, and money.  It negatively affects our health.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“One of the greatest lessons that is lacking in today’s world is the lesson of self-acceptance.  It is one of the easiest lessons to teach, but one of the hardest concepts to gain widespread acceptance.   It is understandable that people feel anxious, embarrassed, or even terrified to talk about how bodies work when they themselves have been brought up in culture that is against it. . . I think it is obvious by now how damaging that view is and why we need to shift our paradigm to allow for a more body tolerant and understanding society. . . I often hear parents and ‘concerned citizens’ cry out against anything relating to nudity especially when it comes to education and acceptance.  We need to fight this.  It is our responsibility to provide access for people to accept themselves. . . A solid nudist education helps people overcome themselves.  It helps them understand their fears and self-doubts, their hang ups, and what they were taught to think of themselves.  Nudists are here to help make the world a stronger place by helping people learn and accept who they are.  It’s time to help people became better body educated.” - http://thenakedtao.tumblr.com/post/129641513117/madeinthenude-body-educated-a-formal

“Why garden naked? First of all, it's fun! . . . Gardening naked is not only a simple joy, it reminds us--even if only for those few sun-kissed minutes--that we can be honest with who we are as humans and as part of this planet.” - http://socalnaturist.org/articles/nude_gardening_day.html

“Celebrate Holidays… Naturally! . . . President’s Day – John Quincy Adams skinny dipped in the Potomac most days.  There’s an oft-cited story about a woman reporter who sat on his clothes and wouldn’t give them back until he agreed to an interview for her publication.  Lyndon Johnson skinny-dipped in the White House swimming pool.  So commemorate the occasion with a skinny dip of your own.  Even if it’s in your own bathtub.” – Bare Platypus, http://bareplatypus.blogspot.com/2012/03/celebrate-holidays-naturally.html?spref=tw

“I have been a naturist all my life.  My body has gone from being slim to slightly over-weight, not obese.  There are people on the beaches of all shapes and sizes and all ages.  The difference with nudism and being on a clothed beach is there are no barriers and everybody speaks to everybody. . . people accept you for what you are.  There is nothing dirty or seedy about it. . . The feeling of being unrestricted and the sun on your skin and to swim nude is one of the best feelings.” – Pauline, https://ca.news.yahoo.com/housekeeping-works-overtime-and-other-confessions-from-a-nudist-resort-224722461.html
