“. . . when it comes to nudity, many Christians confuse innocent nudity with pornography.  But there is a difference between nudity that glorifies the body as something beautiful and sacred, and then pornography that twists our healthy sexuality into something for a cheap thrill.  While many Christians are disgusted by any pictures that degrades people, they are edified by works of art that glorify the body.  For example, going into the Sistine Chapel is a spiritually edifying experience.” - https://naturistbeachnorthflorida.wordpress.com/2014/07/28/christianity-and-nudity/

“As women, we're raised to believe that we'll be more ‘vulnerable’ if we're naked, or even dress provocatively.  I found it was quite the opposite; in an atmosphere that emphasizes bodily autonomy, safety, and respect, being naked can only empower women further. . . and those who fear the feminine know it.  It's why we're told to cover up; it's why we're told our bodies as they are aren't ‘beach ready.’  When you're naked, you feel on a whole new level what profound bullshit that is . . .” – Rachel Krantz, http://www.bustle.com/articles/161285-i-was-naked-in-front-of-strangers-for-4-days-heres-what-happened?platform=hootsuite

“I enjoy the true being of the person I’m conversing with.  Being nude and floating in a pool with others I find the woman who dresses to the hilt with her clothes and jewelry and hair and nose in the air comes down to earth and is a lot nicer.  The big burly guy with tatoos?  He becomes a gentle giant.  And the professional business man.  He too has a calmer demeanor.” – Newnude52, http://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=100881

“Wearing restrictive clothing can cause excessive sweating which may lead to inflammation of the skin follicles, rashes and breakouts.  Going bare gives your skin a chance to breathe.” - Dr. Lance Brown, dermatologist, https://thenaturistpage.wordpress.com/2016/05/16/the-health-benefits-of-being-naked-how-stripping-down-is-good-for-you-today-com/

“Swimming clothed is insane and uncomfortable.  Why wear clothes if it’s not to keep warm?  Clothing oversexualizes the body.  Sunbathing nude prevents ugly tan lines.” – Source, http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/160756816156/why-the-world-needs-more-nudists
