“Nudists feel that a deeper or truer understanding of
people can be attained by first stripping away outer signs of class, wealth,
and style. Nudists will argue that
mentalities like ‘clothes make the man’ are harmful and judgmental. By removing the means of preconceptions –
clothing – people can see each other as human beings and not their social
ranks.” – Jordan Blum, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nudists-and-the-nudist-lifestyle-defined-by-yna/
“I decided to do something radical. And it accidentally solved my body image
problems forever. I decided to take a
weekend of radical self-love, three days of looking after myself physically,
mentally, and spiritually – just doing whatever the hell I felt was best for
me, and me alone in every moment the entire weekend. Only one attitude was my moral guide: look
after myself. It became a whole state of
mind, and it was powerfully relaxing. It
reset weeks of anxiety, and when a sudden opportunity came to attend a nude
social meetup on the Saturday night, I was in the healthiest psychological
place for doing it possible. I went –
despite me looking ‘crap’ – I enjoyed myself, and in this moment I finally
found my answer. Self-nurture. . . When
you want to look after yourself – first and foremost – why would you care what
you look like in front of others? It was
a new logic that healthfully invaded the mind.
So the battle within me finished, and the war was ended by bringing
balance to my mind.” – Glen Donnelly, https://nudemovement.org/2016/08/28/embrace-your-body-vs-look-good-naked/
“For us it was easier to be naked in front of
strangers than it was with friends and family . . . but once you get over that
first time you will wonder why you was so worried.” – Mark and Tracy, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=21242.0;topicseen
“Clothing Optional Costa Rica . . . While raising two
kids and getting established in the ‘American Dream’, a desire to have a nudist
or at least clothing optional place of their own slowly formed. . . the dream
developed into owning a whole island in the Caribbean for a place where people
could come and be naked all the time. . . On a trip to Nosara, Costa Rica, in
2000, Bibi and Arne fell in love with the area.
A lot for sale, very cheaply, ‘had their name on it’, and the island
from the dream morphed into a ½ acre piece of land with an amazing view of the
Pacific Ocean and five banana palms, in walking distance of three beaches and a
river. Over the next four years, two
buildings, each with three apartments, a pool house and a big pool were built.
. . Each of the apartments, sleeping 2 – 4 people, have full kitchens and are
very well equipped for staying a while. . . In the fall of 2010, it was finally
private enough on the property to welcome the first nude guests. . . during the
months of January, February and March, the Casa BandA apartments are solely
available for people who like to enjoy life clothes free. . . The rest of the
year, guests are . . . with or without clothes.” - http://spotnaked.com/clothing-optional-costa-rica/4577/
