QUOTES 11/12/2017

“I hate clothes and I always have done.  It is not just that I don't like wearing them sometimes, because that makes me feel good.  I just hate them and everything associated with them.  I loathe shopping for clothes - their price shocks me.  I despise people who wear them to impress; I loathe uniforms for suppressing individuality or emphasizing rank.  I hate female underwear for forcing them into unnatural shapes.  I abhor swimming costumes because they are the most useless of articles imaginable (except possibly men's ties or socks).  I hate them for personal, political, social, aesthetic, and economic reasons - including that a lot of them are made in sweatshops in Africa or Asia where workers are mistreated and sold in shops where staff are exploited.” – Barbirolli, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=21540.0;topicseen

“Camping is another great way to practice naturism.   worries, no clothes in the great outdoors.  Exactly how life was meant to be.” - https://twitter.com/ohionaturist/status/797070537503674369

“In the early 50’s of the twentieth century . . . others who also wanted to spend their time naked, but who didn’t really follow the whole naturist philosophy.  They didn’t feel such a strong connection to nature, they did smoke and drink and eat meat.  But they also loved to be naked and spend time among equally minded.  These people were called nudist.  Their main focus was nudity and nature got to the 2nd or 3rd place or no place at all.” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/09/12/so-what-about-nudism/

“Many folks would consider it only something we do, but I believe that for at least some of us there is more to it.  As with homosexuality I believe one must explore why some people act differently from what is considered normal.  Doesn’t it seem likely that it is a part of one’s nature to prefer to be nude while others prefer to hide parts of their bodies from public view?  The joy that most small children experience while running around naked makes it pretty obvious that the desire to wear clothes is not a basic part of human nature.  Young children have to be brain washed into thinking that there is something wrong with being seen naked. . . As they grow up practically all youngsters are coerced or forced to cover up, but some retain their proclivity to be nude and subsequently may become nudists.  I believe the case for nudism being a matter of what you are as opposed to what you do is at least as compelling as the case for homosexuality, and that with a well thought out plan to win public acceptance nudists could become a federally protected class, or at least have the laws prohibiting simple public nudity relaxed, but that will take a lot of hard work and the acquisition of a lot more political power, because almost no one pays any attention to us.” - https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/11/03/we-are-who-we-are-guest-essay-bill-bowser/
