“Naturism is probably the last of the freedoms in our hyper-regulated world.  Naked, you are yourself, a fragile human being.  You feel better, closer to nature, bound to our planet, and feel that sense of freedom, without being judged by others.” - https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2016/06/24/5-raisons-de-passer-des-vacances-naturistes/

“. . . we were designed to go naked outside, a lot.  When we don't it's compromising our health.  Those people who object to nudity are forming their opinions contrary to science and health.  And contrary to God's original plan for us.” – Reuben T., http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=768.15;topicseen

“We often grow up conditioned (be it consciously or otherwise) to believe that nudity is only acceptable if it's being used to please others, but wholly unacceptable if used for our enjoyment alone. . . our nudity be reclaimed.  The truth is that nudity doesn't have to be for anyone else. Taking pleasure in your body should be allowed on a solo level as well. . . Even if you are sharing your nudes with other people, that can be a useful tool as well.  You're hopefully choosing to present your nude body in the way that feels best to you — be it through positioning or lighting or whatever else might cause a surge of empowerment to drift through your soul.” – Marie Southard Ospina, http://www.bustle.com/articles/160293-9-reasons-not-to-be-ashamed-of-your-nudes

“Hiking naked is great.  It’s nice to camp naked.  Why not be naked out in the woods?” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“Nakedness has always been fairly natural to me: whenever I'm alone (and in private!) I'm naked - it just feels a lot more natural than being covered in hot, sweaty clothes, but I've led quite a sheltered life and the number of times I'd seen another person naked could be counted on the fingers of one hand.” – Robert, http://www.bn.org.uk/articles.php/_/information/about-naturism/first-time-experiences/in-at-the-deep-end-by-robert-r29
