“Naturism is a wholesome lifestyle.” – Kensunwalker

QUOTES 2/27/2018

“Greatest way to enjoy the outdoors is to be nude and hiking / camping is no different. . . Over the years I have found that the western part of the U.S. is much more amenable to freehiking, both in terms of opportunity as well as the attitudes of people. . . Enjoyed a 5-day nude backpacking/camping trip in the Ocala National Forest last summer.  Bugs and heat weren't too bad in the forest and there was a spring feed pond that served as a great place to cool off and relax after a day's hike.  Only passed one other hiker and he was down to his backpack and a pair of brief running shorts, but it was during a downpour so our encounter was very brief as we were each headed back to our shelter.” – Flbeachman, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=1368&page=2

“Five famous people who enjoyed nakedness: Charles F. Richter (Earthquake Measuring System Inventor), Charlize Theron (Actor), Chelsea Handler (Model), Cher (Singer/Actor), Christina Aguilera (Singer).

“I have enjoyed ‘skinny road trips’ without a specific destination, in the past.  I will dress briefly only when necessary . . . when stopping to stretch at the more public places, while staying nude when stopping in secluded places. . . my kilts just lay open and flat on the seat much of the time.  They wrap with Velcro, so that I can have one on in a flash if necessary.  I highly recommend both the kilt and the skinny road trip, as comfortable and versatile extensions of the naturist life style.” – Dan

“Naturism is a philosophy of life.  It’s a way of thinking, acting, and looking at the rest of the world.  We are fostering respect for self, for others, and for the environment.  Complete nudity is fundamental to those values.” - http://www.bareoaks.ca/index.php/en/about-bare-oaks-family-naturist-park/why-nudity-is-required.html

“I think all people have within them the seed of Naturism, after all we are born naked and free.  However, every seed holds within itself a potential, can flourish or not.  Not all grow, only age. . . Grow is a prerogative of humans.  Only some claim this right. . . So that the seed of Naturism can put down some roots it is essential that its participants will assume their condition in front of everyone with pride.” – Evandro Telles, http://osnaturistas.com/en/noticias/a-semente-do-naturismo1/

“Being naked doesn’t expose you at all – it makes you anonymous and equal.” – Kensunwalker

QUOTES 2/26/2018

“Naturism is a lifestyle in harmony with nature, expressed through social nudity, and characterized by self-respect of people with different opinions and of the environment. . . The purpose of naturism is to promote wholesomeness and stability of the human body, mind, and spirit.  These come most easily to those who shed the psychological and social encumbrance of clothing, to see and respect the human body as created.  Naturism also promotes optimal health through complete contact of the body with the natural elements.  It is practiced as much as possible in environments free of the pollution and stress of modern society.  It is therefore associated with an enlightened, holistic approach to nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and social interaction.” - https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/06/06/on-being-clothes-free-in-the-caribbean/

“We arrived home and I scooped up my shoes and clothes and walked in the house and dropped them off in the laundry room hamper.  At least I wouldn’t have to worry about those nasty and uncomfortable clothes until the morning.  My dog was happy to see us and I just kept walking thru the house and out the back door to walk my dog. . . both me and the dog naked in the back yard.  Just how nature intended us to be . . .” - http://nudisuzie.com/page/2/

“If you are curious about naturism, there's really no substitute for experiencing it for yourself.  No one can ever truly describe that first-time feeling of freedom from clothes, with your body fully exposed to the sun and the breeze.  Swimming without clothes gives a feeling that you wouldn't believe - a huge difference in sensation, even though it is just a tiny bathing suit you have left behind.” – http://www.bn.org.uk/articles.php/_/information/about-naturism/first-time-experiences/first-time-experiences-introduction-r20

“When walking through the countryside, especially in the summer it’s not hard to appreciate all that is there.  Apart from frequently enjoying the freedom of being naked, it is the feeling that you actually belong to part of nature that is the most pleasurable.  In fact, many words can sum up this feeling:  enjoyable, satisfying, delightful, good fun, fulfilling, rewarding . . .” - https://naturallynaturist.wordpress.com/2016/02/11/what-is-in-the-countryside/

“There you are.  Naked.  Both physically and mentally.  Of course, this will not solve your problems, the bills won’t pay themselves and the issue with your partner still has to be cleared out.  But take some time off from it, take some time to destress and when you put your clothes back on you can look at the things from a different perspective. . . nudism can help you handle stress.” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/blog/2017/04/03/undress-to-destress/

QUOTES 2/25/2018

“I don't remember how old I was when I figured out that God could see me naked. . . Over the years, various church talks, lessons and sermons further convinced me that Heavenly Father was deeply concerned about what I did in my various stages of undress, and therefore kept me under constant surveillance.  Worse was the idea that whatever I was up to while under this heavenly microscope was also somehow the business of my ecclesiastical leaders, who seemed to take a dim view of anything not officially sanctioned. . . Who thought up genital mutilation as a way of drawing closer to God?  Circumcision for baby boys and even young girls? . . . I'd also like to know why, if our genitals are of such great religious import — sacred tools, if you will — and what we do with them is of eternal consequence, whose idea was it to create us so that we had to pee through them?  How unsacred can you get?  In the end, the business of our privates is actually … well, our private business.” - Robert Kirby, http://www.sltrib.com/news/4601342-155/story.html#sthash.KDk3IVVA.gbpl

“If all young people came on a week's stay at a nudist beach, it would with no doubt do wonders to the way they value their own bodies – and indeed their partner's body as well. . . Today many young people don’t shower after sport activities and at the same time there is such a free access to porn, where it is often the more streamlined (read: surgically corrected) bodies that are shown, and for men the generously grown penis scale that will be exposed, so that alone gives them a fairly wrong reference to start comparing their own (or their partners) body with others.  Just five days on a nudist beach, where they will be exposed to all types and forms of human bodies, would probably help them to get a more positive and free view of their own bodies – and thereby find greater joy of life and not least confidence in themselves.” - Emilia van Hauen, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1099/balls-and-sausage-therapi/

“Well, got my first naked driving in for the year.  Since it was wet outside this morning, I took the truck to work . . . since it was warm out I decided to do it au-naturel.  Grabbed some clothes and shoes, along with my lunch, and I jumped in the car.  I drove the speed limit and made sure to come to complete stops everywhere, just to avoid getting pulled over for some stupid reason. . . at work we have to park a bit away and take a shuttle bus in.  Since I was naked, I pulled into the far end corner of the parking lot so I could get dressed first.  This of course adds time onto my trip home, since I have to go all the way to the back corner, but worth it for the drive in.” - RoofTop

“We met on EHarmony . . . Steve dropped the ‘bomb’!  Said he was a naturist.  I said, ‘That’s great, because I love trees, being outdoors and camping and such’.  He said, ‘No, not a naturAList – a natURist or nudist.’  Long story short, I really liked this guy so agreed to meet so he could explain the whole nudist thing.  We met and we talked the whole day.  He made it seem so perfectly natural and not scary that I told him I would take a trip to the nude beach with him to see what it was all about.  It took all of two minutes for me to shed clothing and couldn’t believe the freedom and confidence I felt.  I curse him for that now because I hate having to turn back into a textile for the real world.  I wish everyone could experience this” – Angie, http://www.thetahoejournal.com/adventure/nude-beach/

“Speaking with women who hike naked made me realize how close we are . . . Perhaps getting naked in the middle of the woods or on top of a mountain is not for everyone, but I have started to do it more often recently. I feel happy and I feel love when I do – not only love for being free, but also for my body that, as a river, does not wish to be skinnier or taller, but certainly longs to be accepted and taken care of.” – Karin, http://girlastray.com/naking-women/

“Social comfort and physical comfort are different issues.  Certainly, any time you’re in a place where it’s too cold to be comfortable naked, then wear something.  Social comfort is a more interesting issue.  If one has had any experience being naked with others (besides close friends or family), then it’s a little hard to understand why one couldn’t be naked comfortably in most gatherings where one is pretty confident that everyone else is tolerant of nudity.  Especially if most of the others are also naked. . . Another point is that there is value in deliberately venturing, gradually, a little outside one’s comfort zone.  This is how the zone can eventually be expanded.” – Diogenes, http://jillianpage.com/2013/11/25/nudismnaturism-comfort-levels/#comments

“The other reality of our times are cell phones and 911.  Don’t let any weird hysterical person see you driving nude and assume it has anything to do with them.  The vast majority of the time, no one will care.  Fewer will care enough to get involved. . . rarely do people look sideways.  Drivers are driving and passengers as well.  They are lost in thought, action is automatic, subconscious.  This makes the activity much safer still. . . I am familiar with people who let their guard down and do not take precautions, driving nude nearly every day, who have never got into trouble.  The odds of encountering trouble become something like being hit by lightning, when a few practical measures are added.” - Jbeegoode, http://thefreerangenaturist.org/2015/09/25/carnuding-handbook-on-being-realistic-and-practical/

“I had the day off and decided to do further exploration of the green belt area that I discovered quite near home. . . I free hiked for about 45 minutes until I came to small clearing.  It was around 11:00 a.m. and the sun was high so I decided to stop and do some sunbathing.  It was a fabulous location that had been more than a little difficult to access because of the steep hilly terrain that was well covered with trees and brush so I felt totally at ease lying there on the grass and enjoying the warmth of the sun over every inch of my body. . . Afterwards, I collected my clothing and continued a bit further finding a huge rock almost shaped like a bench and so I stopped again and just sat down and enjoyed being outside in nature. . . I had some things that had to be done so I reluctantly headed back the way I had come.  I remained naked until almost reaching the end of the wide improved trail I had used to start the hike and didn't dress until I was near the point where it led into the open.  All told, an enjoyable 90 minutes of free hiking and nude sunbathing.” – The Emerging Nudist

School Security System

Because of the mania of the recent Florida school shooting, many are pushing to ban assault rifles in order to secure the safety of students and others.  Although I personally don’t believe this proposed solution will solve much (after all, a pipe bomb, a truck of fertilizer, a car, and even a pressure cooker have all been used recently to create havoc with even greater loss of life), if people want something banned, who cares?  I believe this push is mostly political and won’t accomplish much anyway.

In general, I believe we need to bring security issues closer to home, to each school, instead of creating/depending on new and costly distant government programs and solutions.  With this in mind, here is an approach/system that might actually solve the problem, without unreasonable cost:

1.  Select/train existing teachers as a concealed-carry “School Security Team” (SST).  (Many teachers would agree to do this for even a little extra cash.)  They could carry guns in case of emergency situations (which seldom happen anyway).  They could also be scheduled to man unlocked doors, and they would more likely recognize problem people.  This would cause some perpetrators to think twice before attacking a school (how often do these types of people attack an armed police station?).

2.  Create a “Security Hot-Line” (SHL), manned by existing school personnel, which everyone with a security concern in and out of the school district could call.

3.  Create/teach a class (for students and others) about the importance of acting responsibly and how to handle emergency situations.

By the way, naturists don’t have to worry about most of these issues anyway, because frankly, where can a naked person hide a gun?

“Hello, my name is Rob. . . and I live in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, USA.  I am married to a wonderful lady, and we recently celebrated our 30th anniversary. . . I am employed in the office of a construction sub-contractor, and my wife in an educator.  We are both born again, conservative Christians, and we are both active in our local church . . . I have, within the last 2 years, become an avid bare footer, mainly due to my sore knees.  Since I’ve become a bare footer, I just don’t understand how any nudist can ever wear shoes!  Walking barefoot has really helped my knees, and I encourage everyone to kick off their shoes!  I am the only nudist in my family. I was born and raised in a family that never paraded around without clothes . . . It was in my early years though, that I found my love for nudity. . . At the age of 5, my family bought an above ground pool for our backyard.  I pretty much grew up in that pool. . . when I would be alone in the pool, as a kid, I would remove my trunks and swim and play while nude . . . Around the age of 11 or 12, I discovered that there were spots in our backyard, where I could be nude, without the neighbors seeing me . . . As I got older, I always tried to find places to enjoy being nude.  Mainly in my backyard, or the local woods.  But the ‘nudity is sinful’ always hung over my head. . . I started praying and studying God’s word . . . I searched the bible, I searched the internet, I read everything I could on the subject of Christian nudists.  Finally, while driving in the car alone, on my way to helping with our church’s youth group, I was praying about this subject yet again, when God answered my prayers, in an audible voice, saying ‘I don’t care what’s on the outside of a man, but rather what’s inside his heart.’ I almost drove off the road!” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/11/17/naturist-talks-rob-usa/

I've been drawn to a kumeyaay area where I've finally spotted some petroglyphs.  There are a few desert flowers starting to bloom . . . I hiked out about 2-3 miles to a flat sandy area with a rock outcropping . . . I was again pondering the previous inhabitants and was looking at some rock carvings.  The day was much more pleasant than yesterday and I was enjoying the warm breeze leaning on my hiking pole. . . my eyes were drawn upward to spy a golden eagle riding the thermals above me.  I watched him in envy a few minutes and returned my attention to the hum which turned out to be a swarm of bees that were taking advantage of the early blossoms of the tall bush next to me. . . Even with the wind the temperature was not bad and since nude hiking opportunities are much appreciated by me I pressed on further into the desert. . . Much of the area is referred to as Badlands for it is desolate and the terrain appears harsh at times from a distance.  I think it is only when you walk amongst it that the beauty and thriving life is evident if you’re open to it and being naked your whole body is open.” - Jay

I think it depends on how you present yourself to your neighbors while you're nude.  I just do what I would normally do if I were clothed.  I don't lay out with my legs spread in their direction.  Each time they've seen me it's been in a normal pose, floating on the water in the pool, laying out working on the tan or doing yard work, general backyard clean-up of patio furniture, working on a project or just sitting and enjoying a beverage and cigar.  I'm just acting normally and I think that's why our neighbors are ‘ok’ with our nudity.” – AndiDi, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=18971&page=1

“In 1902, a series of philosophical papers was published in Germany by Dr. Heinrich Pudor, under the nom de plume of Heinrich Scham, who came up with the term Nacktkultur.  In 1906 he went on to pen a three volume treatise with his new term as its title, which discussed the benefits of nudity in co-education and advocated participating in sports while being free of cumbersome clothing.” - http://www.nuff.org.uk/history

Naturist View

Sunwalkerism


“I would rather swim nude.” – Kensunwalker

QUOTES 2/17/2018

“Swimming naked is one of the top naturist activities that you should do regularly.  It is a refreshing, relaxing, stimulating and therapeutic experience that gives you an intense feeling of freedom and happiness. . . the water feels amazing against your skin, as opposed to when you swim wearing a swim suit. . . [It] is also a great way of learning to accept your body, and it helps to get rid of the negative concept that your naked body is something to be ashamed of.  It is also a liberating experience that helps you to enjoy the wonders of the nature . . .” - http://blog.vritomartis.com/top-18-things-to-do-naked/

“Stated plainly, a person’s attitudes towards nudity often reveal an underlying racism . . . naturist magazines can’t be sold on the newsstand (unless they’re in the XXX adult section) because they have naked CAUCASIAN people.  Nudity is, apparently, only fitting for people of ethnicity whom we expect to be naked ‘savages.’  Pictures of breast feeding infants are okay if the infants are ‘tribal’ but Facebook bans North American moms from posting breast feeding photos . . . Kids raised in the Amazon jungle who romp and swim naked? . . . Kids raised in Arizona running around or swimming naked? . . . Aborigines naked in the Australian Outback may be filmed, studied, interviewed. . .Nudists on a beach in Queensland, Australia may need to be locked up. . . Take a picture of a naked child in the jungles of South America and you’re an anthropologist.  Take a picture of a naked child in North America and you’re a child pornographer. . . A British Royal Marine retires from service and decides to walk rural roads of the UK naked (physically harming no person) and the UK locks him up indefinitely. . . Men go hunting buck naked in the African bush and velds, throwing spears or shooting arrows . . . filmed in vivid detail for the Learning channel [which] . . . visits a nudist park and everyone is carefully pixelated to avoid causing ‘offense’ to the viewer. . . these examples demonstrate a kind of thinking that is more degrading than anything . . . When the people of a given race stay in the category and clothes that are expected of them (savage red man or black woman versus enlightened civilized white family) then no harm, no foul.  But when people don’t stay ‘in their place’ we’ll cry obscene!” – Bare Platypus, http://bareplatypus.blogspot.com/2012/04/nude-attitudes-reveal-raw-racism.html?spref=tw

“. . . nudists/naturists face all sorts of discrimination around the world — from countries in which social nudism is illegal to others that have allowed nowhere near enough public spaces for naturists to journalists and celebrities who take a wink-wink-nudge-nudge approach to the subject and, finally, to misinformed individuals who confuse social nudism with wild swingers’ events.  And all most naturists want to do is just free themselves from the confines of textiles and to overcome body image hang-ups — because social nudism does those things, and more.” – Jillian Page, http://jillianpage.com/2014/01/15/nudismnaturism-discrimination-2/
