“Our idea of beauty is created by referring to what we see in our daily life.  And we see (so called) beauty everywhere: in magazines, on TV, on Facebook and Instagram, perfect bodies everywhere.  And everyone else is, just like you, carefully trying to hide every imperfection behind layers of clothes and make-up.  On a naturist site you rediscover the diversity of the human body.  The people you compare with suddenly also have some love handles and their boobs are also influenced by gravity.” - http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/10/10/7-reasons-want-nudie/

“. . . I genuinely think, as a 20-year-old female . . . that ‘Nudism’ and the whole volleyball/resort and online scene of nudism has become so detached and stale that it will continue to put off women and young people unless it's reframed in its attitude towards nudity and even renamed.  In my opinion, it desperately needs to be imagined as a tool to promote female empowerment.  Likewise, it needs to get away from this image of an alternative lifestyle of near compulsive nudity . . . a lifestyle or being naked 24/7, so much as it should be about accepting nudity as perfectly acceptable in normal society in certain contexts when clothes aren't practical, like swimming, at home with friends or a hot day at the park.  If it just so happens you enjoy being nude all the time, that's great, that's just your preference not some odd subculture.  Lastly, it needs a charge of civil disobedience and protest to ignite it as a real social movement.” - https://www.reddit.com/r/nudism/comments/5kff24/nudism_needs_to_burn_itself_and_rebuild/

“I had the opportunity to scuba clothes free twice and I loved it very much.” – Roger, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/11/20/a-sophisticated-naturist/

“I usually put the recycling out naked as there are no houses opposite and if any traffic comes along the road I can discreetly stand behind the wall and gatepost until they have passed.  However, on one occasion the car stopped and a lady got out and came to the gate to ask directions.  As I had nothing to cover myself with and she had already seen my nudity I simply stood at the gate for our conversation . . . There was no adverse reaction whatsoever” – John Gw, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=1908.25;topicseen

“In Europe, I like Spain most as it offers a wide range of nude beaches and nudity is part of the culture in this fabulous country.  In the U.S. I frequently visit Haulover and Playalinda beach.  But the best of them all is the nude village in Cap d’Agde in France.” – Roger, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/11/20/a-sophisticated-naturist/
