“Swimsuits were not invented until the 1870's and so
most folks swam or bathed nude. Even
after the advent of the swimsuit, they did not catch on in the rural areas
until the middle of the 20th century.
Often these swims were mixed gender.” – DDF, https://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120919174851AAdYoh1#
“Warm weather has made me want to drive naked all I
can. . . It was only recently I got the courage to drive completely nude during
the day, instead of just at night. Today
I had to run an errand. After I completed
it I had the urge to take off all my clothes for the drive home. So I did.
And I took the long way! All
windows down, sunroof open and a glorious breeze. Driving naked is one of the most relaxing and
exciting feelings there is. If anyone
reading this is curious about driving naked, don't be hesitant. If you can't muster the courage to do it
immediately during the day, work up to it like I did. . . I guarantee you will
enjoy it.” – Rapidi, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=8077&idt=90164&page=last
“Under the influence of media, we tend to be overly
critical of our bodies, and we try to hide our physical ‘flaws’ with
clothes. As such, being a nudist
provides the opportunity to accept one’s body as it is.” – Jordan Blum, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/top-10-reasons-to-be-a-nudist/
“The first thing I notice is that everyone is so
calm. How could they be so comfortable
in a room of naked people?! Class starts
and we begin to warm up. I try not to
look but how could I not? Everyone is so
naked! But you know what? It’s such a relief to see real bodies as
opposed to the unrealistic ones we see in the media. . . here in this room I
find myself reminded that real bodies are gorgeous. There is an array of shapes, sizes, and
color. There are some people who had
cellulite and others who did not. There
are people who don’t have one hair on their body and others who have a
lot. And as I realize this I begin to
feel more comfortable in my own body and am able to concentrate on my [yoga]
practice rather than obsessing over whether or not the person behind me thinks
my thighs are too large for my body. As
we go through the different poses I almost forget that I’m naked. . . Things I
normally obsess over weren’t important anymore.
It wasn’t weird anymore! . . . overall it was a very liberating
experience. . . I feel empowered. I am
the kind of woman who is brave enough to move through a series of positions in
a group of strangers completely in the nude and not give a crap. I am now the kind of woman who can do that!”
