QUOTES 1/22/2018

“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/
