QUOTES 4/17/2019

“My husband and I have taken lots of cruises . . . And until last October, they had all been traditional (textile) sailings. . . So why did I wait so long to try a nude cruise?  Maybe I needed something to push me over the edge . . . And that's exactly what happened on our last textile cruise. . . on a ten-day Caribbean itinerary. . . we met a wonderful French couple on their honeymoon, Henri and Nicole. . . we met them in the hot tub and began to chat.  In mid-sentence, and without any hesitation or as much as a glance to others, Nicole stood up, peeled off her one-piece swimsuit and placed it on the deck beside her. . . In a show of international solidarity, I immediately removed my top and we continued with our conversation.  In less than ninety seconds, two crewmembers were leaning over us, shaking their heads . . . the expression on Nicole's face changed from confusion to astonishment.  She couldn't believe she was being asked to cover up.  Who could possibility care?  ‘Do you think someone was offended by my body?’  ‘I don't know for sure,’ I answered.  She lowered her voice to a whisper as she reached out to take my hand.  ‘I pity them.  It must be very frustrating, trying to impose their values on others.’  At that moment, I knew I was finished with textile cruises. . . Why had it taken me so long to realize that a ship full of nudists would be a little piece of heaven afloat on the ocean?  After returning home, we booked our first nude cruise . . . So how did the Bare Necessities cruise compare to our previous textile voyages? . . . once you go on a nude cruise, you'll never want to go on a traditional sailing again.” – Jaye Frances

“We just had a lovely weekend with family staying over and a naturist couple from across the street popping in for chats and card games. . . Our niece, her partner Tony and son Mark were stripped off within 15 mins of arriving and they, like us, were thrilled when Eric and Sandra came too.  We don't usually play card games but as a laugh Mark said it would be funny if all these naked people played ‘Get-Dressed-Poker’ instead of ‘Strip-poker’. . . The laughter and comments got more hysterical as the hours slipped by, when the loser was the first fully clothed, we stopped . . . we all got naked again!” – Patrick Thompson, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1115/dash-of-fun/

“But, you ask, how do you overcome the idea of people seeing your cellulite, your bum dimples and stretch marks?  How do reconcile yourself with breasts freed from their beautifying support?  You don’t.  It’s as simple as that.  People who visit nudist or clothing optional resorts aren’t more beautiful, more shapely, more anything than anyone else.  They’re not older, younger, hipper – or even hippies.  They’re just people with wonderfully imperfect bodies.  Their reasons for shedding their clothes are as varied as their bodies and within a few minutes, you start to understand that none of your worrying exists anywhere but in your own head.” – Julia Rosien, http://www.gogirlfriend.com/julias-musings/beginners-guide-clothing-optional-travel-30850
