“The more people run, hide or rush to cover up the
more it appears ‘naughty’ which, of course, it isn't.” – BareLee, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=20934.0;topicseen
“It’s not really about nakedness. . . It’s a
celebration of what I am and what we are.
It’s not really about the body.
It’s an expression of what I am as a human being – it’s innocent and
good. If what I am in a deep sense is
good, then what I am externally is good too. . . A healthy relationship with
your body . . . is ‘indifference’.
People who strut their bodies about have a twisted mentality – they’re
identifying their body as being who they are.
A long time ago a girl said to me ‘I like you cos of your body’. I was insulted by that – that’s not who I
am. She missed who I was. I’m not about my body” - Stephen Gough, the
Naked Rambler, https://legalhackette.com/2016/09/01/legal-hackette-lunches-with-the-naked-rambler/
“We have one set of neighbors who will come over and
be simi-nude with us, help [gardening] sometimes but mostly we enjoy morning
coffee with each other. Most of the
other neighbors do care, or do not say anything.” – TroynJenny, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=92&idt=102588&page=2
“Social nudism isn’t about seeing and proving; it’s
about experiencing.” – Naomi Teeter, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/what-i-learned-about-body-positivity-by-running-naked_us_57d7054ee4b0f831f7072582?
“While many are talking about women’s rights to wear
burkinis at the beach and burqas in other public settings, few are giving
serious thought to women’s right to go topless in social settings where men are
allowed to peel off their shirts. In
truth, many women would rather fight for the right to overdress than to under
dress. And one can hardly blame them:
baring our chests in most social settings will only bring a lot of unwanted
attention. I saw a good example of this
at a GoTopless rally in Montreal on Mount Royal a few years back. It became more of a spectacle than a
demonstration for equal rights, as crowds of men gathered around to leer and
snap photos of the half-naked female demonstrators. Sadly, many men seem to be unable to see a
woman’s breasts without experiencing salacious desire. So we are careful about where we bare our
breasts . . . Still, women should have the same rights men have, even if we
choose not to exercise those rights.” - https://jillianpage.com/2016/08/28/gotopless-montreal-women-still-dont-have-equal-rights/
