“I discovered that there was a clothing-optional beach just a short drive away from me.  One Sunday afternoon I led my wife and a close friend out that way for a hike.  I roughly knew where the nude beach was and I deliberately led them to the outskirts, keen on gaging their reaction to this. . . As soon as we got within line of sight of a single naked man standing predominately on a tall rock my friend, who has extremely poor vision, took this opportunity to pipe up.  ‘Wow,’ he said. ‘I’ve never been so happy to be blind in my entire life.’  Undeniably funny, yes, but it made me think: ‘Why do you feel so threatened by this?  Do you think that he’s suddenly going to run over here and start doing gratuitous squats in front of you?’” - –Wayne Brake, Young Naturists & Nudists America, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naturist-epiphany-part-1/

“In terms of social values and the regulation of society, it’s not difficult to see that in societies where there are high levels of regulation, permitted dress is also tightly controlled.  A clear illustration is the strict dress codes in many Muslim countries.  Likewise, in highly regulated states such as communist controlled countries, and conservative US states. . . Almost anyone flamboyantly expressing their individuality is dismissed, and often by extension this is applied to women also based on their general attire.” – Shane Davis, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/931/authority-fashion-and-regulation/

“The difference between porn and nude art is . . . While both are portraying a naked human body . . . the purpose of pornography is to sexually arouse.  The purpose of nude art is to get people to think about the beauty, mystery, and complexity of the human body.  Many people look at Michelangelo’s David.  But they don’t do so in order to masturbate or fantasize.  They do it for the same reason they’d look at art of, say, a sunset: To appreciate beauty. . . The non-living antithesis of pornography being nude art.” - https://timothyach.wordpress.com/2015/12/06/nudism-and-the-problem-with-pornography/

“Kayaking is very nice, in the nude is better!” – Pallicchero, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=6&page=5

“Most in the west do not have a general prohibition with simple nudity, so as long as you are not in a developed campground; in a relatively secluded dispersed site simply camping naked is not a problem.  I have done this many times.  And the BLM lands . . . have the same situation.  Have I encountered others at my campsite while nude?  Several times, with no problem, even by a game warden one time.  As long as you are not being blatant, there are many, many places where you can be in your campsite nude.” – Daves_ndt, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=18781&page=1

“I enjoy almost 24/7 naked living and people who come to see us have to get used to that idea.  In our home it's our rules, if we go into other houses we respect their rules, or leave.  They have that option when they get here.  If natural nudity offends then leave, I ain't covering my body to save your blushes!” – Patrick Thompson, http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=61a6033463eb5b19aec03ab8a3763ceb&topic=746.0

“I am not fond of clothing.  I cannot say I dislike it because it does have its advantages at times but I prefer to be clothes-free whenever possible.” – Rodo, http://rdsnatnat.blogspot.com/2011/11/naturists-views-about-clothing.html?zx=9a8c7ccb9f179a5f

“. . . my time promoting and performing in fully nude standup shows with a fully nude audience has been most rewarding and authentic to me. . . I’ve always felt right about nudism.  Heck I was born naked, how about you?  I was in college when I started modeling for art classes and realizing there was a community that thought as I do. . . I graduated from college [an] moved to sunny Southern California and discovered lots of nudist resorts and a few nude beaches, non-landed clubs etc.  I’m home.” – Tim Chizmar, http://clothesfreelife.com/2016/03/20/interview-with-tim-chizmar-actor-comedian-and-producer-of-bare-with-us-the-movie/

“Being in the buff does wonders for the psyche and helps with encouraging positive body image, an issue many women have when it comes to embracing their sexuality.” - Glamazon Tyomi, http://www.ebony.com/love-sex/are-nude-beaches-for-black-folks-232#axzz46qUMOXXn

“We are strong advocates of being open and honest about the clothes free aspect of our lives. . . it's our belief that it can only be good for naturism if more people were open about who they are and what they enjoy. . . That said, I fully understand that there are people for whom being open about their interest in naturism could have significant impact on their careers, social standing and relationships with friends and family.  Sad but true.  To those people I would say it's even more important to somehow get that message across . . . In many cases the fears are largely unfounded.” – Steve & Denise, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1013/friend-requests-and-profiles/

“While I cannot explain why nudity feels so good, I embraced nudism years ago now and it just feels great to me.  So, get naked, stay naked, live naked, and share the naked love with friends and family.  Nude is not lewd, it’s awesome!” – MarcNude, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/789/the-3-states-of-nudity-on-becoming-a-nudist/

“As someone who conducts a daily act of indecency by skinny-dipping (I did it this morning, as usual, albeit in the dark), I find the whole idea of getting dressed to get wet utterly ludicrous – all that stupid tugging of towels to prevent anyone being shocked by the sight of flesh. . . naked open-air swimming was par for the course in Britain until the 20th century.  When a ban on bathing nude in the Thames was introduced in the early 1900s, one protester entered the river with his trunks on his head: ‘They said we had to wear them, but they didn’t say where!’” - Philip Hoare, http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep/04/nudity-isnt-indecent-british-tradition-naked-rambler?CMP=twt_gu

“Egypt is an Islamic country and by law, nudity is banned.  More importantly, people have a ruthless attitude when it comes to nudity in general . . . Apart from nudity in the shower, most people believe that nudity has a sexual element to it, and therefore it is a taboo.  Officially, there are no nude beaches in Egypt, and nudity in public is banned – and punishable – by the law.” - http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/egypt-nudism-egyptian-nudists/

“I never wear a suit in our pool at home unless we have guests that would be bothered by my skinny dipping.  I skinny dip at the lake all the time.  Occasionally a kayaker or a fishing boat comes by.  The water is not real clear so I don't know if they can tell I'm skinny dipping or not.  When at the lodge swimsuits are not permitted in the pool so everyone is skinny dipping.  It sure makes more sense than getting out of the water and everyone sitting around in a soggy wet swimsuit.” – John_Long, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=85262&page=1

“Equality.  Respect.  Honesty.  Living in harmony with nature.  Open-mindedness towards new ideas.  A community completely free of crime.  These things are at the heart of what naturism is about . . .” - http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/new-nudism-and-attracting-more-millennials-to-naturism-kffbs/
