“We know two naturist couples who have kept their naturism a secret from their children, all now grown up and away from home.  Another couple kept it from their two daughters until after they had left home and married.  When they did finally tell them, it was accepted and one even visited the sun club and happily stripped off.  Personally, I truly feel that a family should obviously live by their own house rules, but if the parents are often nude at home or members of clubs etc. then, sooner or later the truth will out and maybe, just maybe, the children will resent having been excluded from the knowledge of the nudism and perhaps feel resentful about having missed out.  I wonder if there are naturist parents who are unaware they have naturist children?” – RodB, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=21395.25

“What do you love about your body?” (Video) - https://vimeo.com/70744729

“It was a spiritual initiation weekend in Florida and I had worked myself into a dither for days knowing that I was going to be naked around other people.  Every fear I had carried around for over thirty years was taunting me and my two-kid-later, gravity challenged breasts just wanted to forget all about it.  When the time came and the other women stripped out of their clothing, I very slowly joined them.  I was so sure that every eye in the place was surveying my naked body, my stretch marks, my fat rolls and my ‘not so pink and perkies.’  In the end, I couldn’t have been more wrong.  In that circle, we were all the pretty much the same.  We were all just a bunch of incredibly spiritual women who had overcome huge challenges to get where we were. . . Perhaps if women saw one another naked more often, this farce that’s been pawned and passed from generation to generation would be put down like the rabid dog that it is.  No two breasts are alike even on ONE body, even less so on more than one body! . . . A woman is more than the sum of her parts.  She is heart, she is soul, she is experience, she is fluidity and she is dynamic.  If we could learn to appreciate one another more than judging one another, the power that we have together is enough to break the negativity that has defined us for far too long. . . maybe it’s time to take responsibility for the fact that it’s not the men in our world and it’s not the media that is driving this poor appraisal system that has fostered a generation of eating disordered, emotionally violent women.  We did this.  We did this to our sisters and we did this to ourselves.  Maybe we need to get naked ladies… from the hearts—out.” - Patricia Anderson-Peters, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/getting-naked-women-judge-other-womens-nude-bodies/

“. . . wearing the wrong clothing sizes or clothes that don’t fit our body type, can make us look bigger than we truly are.” - http://blog.vritomartis.com/exercise-naked/
