“I want people to open their minds enough to realize that the human body is a work of art sculpted by the hand of God, and should not only be viewed in a sexual manner.”  - Crimson Reign, nude art model and 20-year Lupus survivor, Tom Pine Newdesletter, 17 #1

“Your private parts, armpits, and feet are generally restricted all day and are often covered by multiple layers, even in the summer time.  Give those parts a chance to air out and breathe.  This can lower the risk of skin diseases, like athlete’s foot, that result from wet, restricted skin.” - https://zedie.wordpress.com/2015/11/15/what-are-the-benefits-of-sleeping-naked/

“Your body’s beauty is the personal handiwork of God.  Literally, it’s a kind of divine ‘self-portrait.’  As such, it is worthy of great honor and dignity!  Your body’s beauty is not found in how sexually ‘attractive’ it might be according to the world’s perverted notions; it is found in the fact that your body reflects God’s own likeness.  Furthermore, regardless of your body shape, it still bears God’s original design.  It is not only the young, the thin, or the strong who reflect the Divine image, but every last one of us, regardless of age, weight, or gender.  The honor and dignity of God’s likeness rests on our bodies now and for all eternity.  To God, everybody is beautiful… wrinkles, rolls, warts, and all.  We would do well to adopt God’s perspective in this matter.  And until we do, we will dishonor God’s image on those we call ‘ugly.’” - Pastor Ed, http://mychainsaregone.org/articles/the-imago-dei/#sthash.DOQ4d6TF.dpuf

“Nude runners braved the elements and bared all for a good cause at a South Yorkshire visitor attraction last night.  The half-mile naked dash around Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster aimed to boost the park’s innovative Project Polar campaign.  A group of 43 hardy fundraisers were sponsored to get starkers and complete a short streak around the park, which has two polar bears called Victor and Pixel. . . It was the idea of British Naturism and was in a restricted area of the park, with the only spectators will be friends and family of those who dare to bare. . .  ‘Nude events in ‘public’ locations are on the increase with members of the public realizing what fun it is and how good being naked in the open air feels.’” – Ellen Beardmore, http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/video-nude-runners-bare-all-for-polar-bear-cause-at-south-yorkshire-attraction-1-7423483

“I arrived at the camp [in Montenegro] later that day.  It’s called Camp Full Monte.  It was started by a super affable English couple, Steve and Denise.  The wonderful thing about it was that it wasn’t just ‘naturist camping.’  It was rather like staying in a friend’s beautiful and prolific naturist garden where you can lay out, read, nap, knit or whatever.  From the moment you take your clothes off you feel like you’re in a veritable Garden of Eden.  The entire layout of their venture was really thoughtful and charming.  The owners themselves are great company and committed to your time there.  And their guests were very outgoing people interested in getting to know everyone.  The place, for the most part, is totally ‘off the grid’ and is a completely green eco-camp.  The food from the garden was amazing.” - –ason Moore, Young Naturists & Nudists America, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/my-european-adventure-into-naturism/
