“. . . we fail to understand that human body is not something so secretive that we can only look at it with immense curiosity, and sometimes even a sense of guilt or shame.  Being a nudist will familiarize people with naked bodies and what they look like.  It’s especially great for kids to learn what bodies look like.  They’ll grow up without body shame, and they can also learn what their bodies will look like as they get older.” – Jordan Blum, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/top-10-reasons-to-be-a-nudist/

“It is a very liberating feeling.  Everyone is the same here [Haulover Beach].  People don't hide behind their clothes or judge anyone because of their clothes here.  People just walk up and start a conversation.  I wish there were more places like this!” - http://www.nudevacationinfo.com/haulover-beach.html

“Make America Nude Again.  It used to be normal for boys to swim naked - let's go back.” - https://twitter.com/anakedartist/status/765155126000521216

“I’ve seen comments in news articles where people are disgusted with the whole nudity thing . . . The human body isn’t something to be disgusted by.  We all have one and it’s time for these people to wake up and realize that everyone is beautifully unique. . . Part of the world naked bike ride . . . is about body acceptance.” - https://thenaturistpage.wordpress.com/2016/07/19/world-naked-bike-ride-montreal-2016-daytime/

“One of the biggest fears about clothing optional places is indeed the ‘voyeur’ aspect.  And indeed, when you’re naked you don’t want to feel like you’re stared at.  But doesn’t this exist in clothing prohibited places as well?  We imagine that there are also voyeurs who don’t mind taking off their clothes themselves.” – Nick&Lins, http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2017/01/16/clothing-optional-new-nudism/

“Nudism may be the best way to boost your self-esteem.  Sure, standing in the mirror every morning may not be the most flattering, self-esteem booster in the world.  But why is that?  Society has put heavy restrictions on what people should look like.  Often, these are unrealistic ideals.  Being naked can help you get in touch with who you really are.  You can appreciate every little perfection and tell the world that, ‘this is me’ . . .” – Stephen Nels, http://clapway.com/2016/06/22/reasons-nudism-makes-people-healthy/
