QUOTES

“In Denmark, we have obtained an official endorsement
of the right to be naked, not only on beaches but also in state forests. . .
This is not a new law, but a clarification of existing rules. It is an important endorsement by a government
agency as well as by the umbrella organization for outdoor activities in our
country. . . Obviously we welcome that it is now generally acceptable to walk
naked in nature, as is the situation on Danish beaches. There‘s enough space in the forest for all,
so we think it is quite natural to use the same practice for the freedom to
dress in the forest as on the beach. It
is a special experience to feel nature with your whole body, rather than being
wrapped up. So I think we have many
nature lovers who will take advantage if weather invites to it . . .” - http://www.naturister.dk/blog/danske-nyheder-i-infs-focus/
“. . . 2016 . . . began with a 10-day Bare Necessities
cruise, with visits to Martinique for Carnival, Puerto Rico, the Dominican
Republic, and Grand Turk. Activities
included a visit to a . . . nude beach, a nude whale-watching cruise, and nude
snorkeling. Having three good friends
along made it really memorable.” – Milt, Skinny Trippers email
“I noticed a granite ridge overlooking a small
dell. I walked out on the granite and
stood overlooking the pine covered area below.
I was standing in the sun under a thin canopy of tall Jeffery, yellow
and sugar pine trees. You can't get this
with clothes on. I stood there, eyes
closed slowly breathing the pine-scented air, sun warming my body . . . with a
gentle warm breeze wafting up from the ground around my legs swirling around my
body as if mother nature were giving me a wonderful hug. I looked at my body, the body of a lone
creature contrasted against the granite, ground, wildflowers and trees of this
area. I felt dwarfed by such a
magnificent spectacle as all the worldly stress of everyday life melted away in
insignificance compared to such beauty.
Thank you God for this moment and day.” - Jay
“Accepting and embracing our nudity is better than
hiding it!” – http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/90054179191/our-bodies-are-great-our-bodies-are-beautiful
“The perceived harm, then, of seeing the nude human
body is the fear that such sight will lead to inappropriate acts by the nude
person or others. This perception is
highly flawed in that it presumes that people are immune to self-control. It is equivalent to saying one cannot see a
diamond displayed in a jewelry store because he/she will be compelled to steal
it. If we lived in fear of the
relatively few jewel thieves, we would never wear jewelry. To mandate that the human body be always
hidden under garments is like requiring gems to be covered by bandages. Bad acts of a few should not restrict freedom
of the rest of society, or even a smaller portion.” - http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1150/a-nudism-petition-draft/
