QUOTES 12/9/2017

“Don’t let anyone else’s shaming or judgement tell you how you should live with your own body.  Decide how YOU want to live in this world.  And that might mean wearing clothes! . . . who said being nude should EVER be about the nudity?  All you need is a reason important to you, to do it.  For some people it’s health.  For many, it’s mental healing.  For others it’s as simple as tan line hate.  A great reason is that skinny dipping just feels fucking great.” – Nude Movement, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1139/why-does-art-make-nudity-ok/

“I wasn’t born into a naturist family . . . but I can remember that already as a little kid I thought being naked was fun, it just felt natural and comfy.  Then came the teenage years and like so many other people I was very self-conscious.  It took many years to overcome that.  I barely knew anything about nudism or naturism until my 20s, when I rediscovered how great it was being nude after those tough teenage ‘prude’ years.  That’s when I took a huge and ever growing interest in nudism and naturism.  At first, I was like a ‘closet’ nudist . . . up until about 3 years ago, that’s when I really started to embrace it.  I started going on nude hikes, made a few visits to the nearest . . . nude bathing spot/camping and wore less and less clothes at home.  [At my first naturist beach] It felt so good, right and natural, to be naked. . . jump into naturism as much as you can, because it’s a wonderful thing and it will improve the quality of your life.” – The Naked I, http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/10/27/naturist-talks-tha-naked-sweden/

“For one night only, art lovers and naturists can combine their passions by visiting the Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition in their nude. . . ‘We are not talking here of voyeurism or exhibitionism, but an experience of the body and senses with a freedom to be.’” - Thomas Bastien, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, http://www.lapresse.ca/arts/arts-visuels/201610/13/01-5030002-quand-les-naturistes-sinvitent-au-musee.php

“Nudism is a social or recreational activity where people are consensually nude, but are not consenting to sexual activity.” – John P, https://medium.com/overthinking-naturism/a-more-sex-positive-conception-of-nudism-18ebb384e745

“You know, it is amazing to think that most human beings have never experienced this simple wonder [freehiking].  This very simple, very human, fundamental experience of being, is lost to most.  There is something profoundly wrong with that.  This simple thing is robbed from humanity, yet it never fails to give a naturist a special connection. . . We are enraptured by the obvious wisdom in the breath of the gift of the moment and the sunlight glistening about us with it.” - Duane (Jbee), https://thefreerangenaturist.org/2016/10/07/free-range-naturist-gathering-pt-1-a-trip-report/
