“What is it that is so special about walking nude in old native ruins, petroglyphs, pictographs, haunts?  I get a sense of the place and those who habituated there before.  My imagination looks to them being there, and sometimes, it is as if they are, in spirit, around.  Sometimes there is a kinship. . . There are those senses, but they seem enhanced nude.” – Jbee, http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=793.45;topicseen

“Some create a kind of online zoo of young women to ‘admire’ the naked body, ‘encourage’ body freedom or ‘promote’ naturism/nudism. . . What is freeing about seeing certain (not all!) men stand on the sidelines and put young women on display while keeping themselves hidden?  Where is the humanity?  The equality? The respect?  Often times, these feeds appear to be a collection of skin-bound trophies. . . We must be wary of . . . creating human zoos online for others to ‘see’ naked bodies, even if we claim that it is to admire the body, encourage body freedom or promote naturism/nudism/clothes free living.  If and when we use images to communicate naturism/nudism/clothes free living, we must be mindful and employ respectful practices.” – Hontouniheart, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/10/05/wow-free-admission-the-online-female-zoo/

“Back to the hiking . . . stripping off and heading up the path which snaked steeply through the rocks and trees. . . As we ascended steadily we unavoidably leap-frogged with various other parties going the same way.  Several families with young children, some single people and a few couples.  Without exception we were regarded with some curiosity and always friendliness.  There is something about meeting other people on a mountain path, where one feels a certain affinity with kindred spirits, people who are in this place to experience nature.  And what better way than naked?  Nudity crosses and breaks down so many boundaries between folk that many times words are not needed and just a wave and a friendly smile is sufficient.” – http://www.naktiv.net/newt/2013/index.html

“Why be nude?  Many naturists would answer, ‘Why not be nude?’  Why would you wear clothing while swimming?  You don't wear clothing in the bath or shower.  Naturists are not against clothing.  Rather, we believe that you should dress only when appropriate.  Being nude feels good.  It makes people feel free.  It takes away artificial inhibitions that were forced upon us after we were born.” – Leah Moore, https://www.facebook.com/groups/nuddism/permalink/1779245615686085/
