“I have just got back from my first swim meet, and it won’t be my last. . . I don't think I’ve ever been as nervous in my life as I was walking up to the place . . . [I] walked in, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made . . . there were 4 of us first timers . . . There was a great mix of people there, ages ranged from toddlers upwards, it had a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, I really don't know what all my nerves were for, I didn't want to get back dressed at the end.” – Hilton pa, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=19360.0;topicseen

“There are a lot of reasons why people fear nakedness; some religious, some political, some sociological – but in the end, it’s one big tangly yarn of confusion. But I dare say, few people can actually articulate why an exposed nipple is more offensive than live footage of genocide on the 6 o’clock news.” - https://meanderingnaturist.wordpress.com/2014/06/

“The body’s ability to produce vitamin D is reduced with age.  It is also inhibited by lack of sunshine or covering up with clothes.  Perhaps that explains why, at 85 years old, I am still able to live a pretty full life by driving to naturist venues towing my caravan.  I frequently visit a Yorkshire naturist club where a large proportion of members are well over 65 years old, happy healthy people.” - Michelle Winspear, http://www.morpethherald.co.uk/news/letters/health-the-benefits-of-daring-to-bare-1-7989186

“The lost mortal broke free of his artificial prison and went forth, looking for his true home.  Only when he felt compelled to cast off the uniform of modern artifice, did he know that he had found it.” - http://thoughtsonnaturism.tumblr.com/post/145558938885/innaturenaturally-the-lost-mortal-broke-free

“Clothing hides the beauty of the human body.  Nudity has been restricted to only some circumstances and this causes a lot of insecurity about our bodies.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“. . . naturism has helped me to get over cancer.  Seventeen years ago I became the third generation of my family to develop a particularly aggressive type of breast cancer, my mother having died at age 51.  Following two lots of surgery within 4 weeks, ending with a radical mastectomy on one side . . . Being a long term naturist, now over 50 years, I was fortunate in not having any issues with body confidence so was able to move forward.” – Viv P, https://naturistcommunity.com/articles/7/what-naturism-means-to-me
