“As far as friends and family go, most of my friends
know about my lifestyle. One lady friend
thought that all women on the nude beach looked like playboy bunnies. When I told her that I go, she said she would
try it and go with me, I told her that was insulting, insinuating that I did
not have a perfect body. She eventually
met her husband there. As far as family,
which is limited, my daughter told me she had gone with some friends. I told her that I was a regular and she might
run into me there. She was astonished
and she was not going then.” - Alan Bases, Holiday, FL & Bartonsville, PA, https://www.aanr.com/veterans-and-nudism&page=10
“Like all of us who weren’t naturist children and
accepted the lifestyle as normal from an early age, we will all have had that
‘awkward’ first time in public while naked moment. . . Many don’t think this is
true as they approach their debut, but as experienced naturists come to recognize
it as fact. We meet our naturist friends
and don’t think of them as a collection of usually unseen parts. We greet them as friends, pure and simple,
and in naturism there’s a rapidly approached point where you don’t even
consider them as being naked, just people.” – Trine, https://slfkk.wordpress.com/2016/06/28/dear-abby-part-2/
“I can blame my childhood church for a chunk of why I
never learned to appreciate my body. . . Female bodies were something to cover
and hide away from anyone’s view, even my own. . . I’d heard that my body was
sinful, imperfect and inappropriate. I
hadn’t even hit puberty yet, and I was embarrassed to be seen. But I can’t put all the onus on a church. . .
It’s my own fault, too. I put a lot of
pressure on myself to be perfect, and that includes my body. . . I push my body
to conform to my high standards. For a
while, I forced myself to go to the gym five times a week, regardless of how
awful I felt or how much pain I was in. . . I was practically abusing myself. .
. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to better yourself. But there is something wrong with wanting to
be something that isn’t yourself. Today,
I choose vulnerability. Today, I choose
me.” – Tracy Fischer, https://medium.com/@TraceOddity/naked-at-a-music-festival-30610727c4db#.jtx1qbjke
“Late yesterday afternoon I was fiddling with my
hammock . . . I noticed the rising full moon and decided to take a break and go
for a walk. I sleep naked and had never
bothered to get dressed so I already had everything I needed . . . The rising
moon was beautiful and I walked about 45 minutes bathed in its glow. The leaves
are falling here and walking thru them barefoot was a sensual feel all its
own.” - https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=107154&page=3
