“Many different sports would . . . be better if they
were practiced naked. Clothing actually
restricts the athlete, as the body is more free to move when not wearing
anything. It can get in the way and also
adds extra weight, so it is pretty much a hinder. Shoes might be necessary in certain sports,
but other than that, clothing is pretty much useless. . . sports would
absolutely be better off done clothes free.
Also, there’s not many things more beautiful than an athlete’s well
trained body, if we’re thinking from an artistic point of view.” - https://thanakedi.wordpress.com/2016/12/20/where-nudity-should-be-the-norm/
“All bodies deserve to feel comfortable naked. Nudism
doesn’t discriminate against body types or anyone. I embrace it, and feel
empowered by others who do too. There is only one you, love it and be it.” –

“. . . nudity is not
dangerous, unless one engages in dangerous activities, much like it is with
non-nudists. It may not be a good idea
to cook naked. As for posing a danger to
others, what exactly would you expect a naked person to do? One can’t hide explosives under one’s
skin. Also, how often do you see a naked
sexual predator? Such people tend to
hide and what better way to hide their purpose than behind layers of clothing?
. . . Nudists have other things in mind when they are practicing nudity. You could say that if they were
planning something devious, you could see it immediately, because they have
nowhere to hide it. . . public nudity as a norm may even lead to an increase in
public safety.” – Naked Diaries, https://nakeddiaries.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/40/
“Is it naive to dream that one day we too can walk the
streets without our tops on? To be able
to walk on a hot day, braless, shirtless, without feeling self-conscious,
without the fear of being sexually harassed or violated, without men gawking
and panting at us like dogs expecting a treat.
Gosh, how lovely would that be?
To walk, naturally, as intended. I live with the hope.” – Koraly

“I have always believed in the fundamental right to be
naked. Outside of protection from the
elements, from cold and physical hazards like thorns and broken beer bottles,
clothing is entirely unnecessary, a matter of custom, of adornment, nothing
more. I see no reason to wear clothes at
home, at the pool, on the beach or at the park.
Wherever bathing suits are acceptable, nudity should be also.” – Nick

love to take off my clothes, to walk around the house naked. But I never necessarily said to myself, ‘Oh,

comfort, and I also think of it like, ‘When in Rome…’ I’m learning about the nudist aspect of

“Yesterday gifted me a surprise revelation: I had
stopped being naked. It’s not that I
stopped spending time being clothes free in the physical sense: I still walk
around home naked . . . But as the weather turns cold, so do I . . . I stopped
being honest and open with people . . . I stopped telling people the truth and
started 1) keeping my mouth shut and 2) lying…a lot. . . For all the walking
around naked I’m doing, I certainly threw the long underwear on my heart . . .
I felt a lot of anger, sadness and distance, all due to my own choice to
withhold. And that practice of clothing
my soul also took away my access to my own heart. . . So, it is with some
sadness that I sit with this revelation today. . . I don’t want to choose long
underwear for my heart anymore. I want
to return to being open, even if the results of my honesty aren’t rainbows and
sunshine everyday. . . I want to give myself space to be honest and free for my
health AND, because truly that is my wish for every human being on the planet: permission
to be themselves. . . I am back at the drawing board with my box of colorful

“I’m also a naturist, and with few exceptions,
‘barely’ anyone knows this about me.
I’ve loved the feel of being naked my entire life, and have taken
advantage of every opportunity to take off my clothes. I’ve fished naked in farm ponds, I’ve driven
the open roads naked, I’ve hiked naked in the woods, and, since I’m single,
spend a great deal of my time at home with nothing on. I’ve belonged to two different naturist clubs
. . . and have spent time at nude beaches in the Caribbean. If I’ve learned anything at all in my life, it’s
that being naked is a natural and normal thing.
Just watching all the kids at the clubs having a great time with each
other without embarrassment and without having to feel guilty or ashamed of
their nakedness tells me that this is so.
The adults are more friendly than at any other place I’ve been. I heard someone say a long time ago, when
asked why she goes to a naturist club to take off her clothes, that naturist
don’t go to such places to ‘take off their clothes,’ but instead go there ‘so
they won’t have to put their clothes on.’
Makes perfect sense to me.” - http://clothesfreelife.com/2015/12/27/its-only-natural/

“The freedom to practice naturism in general, and
freehiking in particular, isn't free. It
requires sacrifice. Perhaps the
sacrifice to leave the blinds closed and live in the dark at home. Or, the sacrifice and cost to travel some
distance to a nude location. Or, the
sacrifice of personal comfort to share naturism with others, or to be the first
to take off clothing, or to remain clothed when others are reluctant. Or, the potential loose of freedom from being
seen freehiking. Some exceptional people
sacrifice jobs and even relationships with others for the freedom to just to be
nude as God intended. But, without the
sacrifice of those from the past, we would all be forced to live dressed in
Victorian prudishness. So how can we
thank those who pioneered today's more relaxed dress code, and those from the
past who sacrificed so much for naked freedom?
Sacrifice - share naturism now.” – Kenfreehiker

humanity in you and in various social situations when nude. It is not about being embarrassed, shy,
outgoing, or even perverted for that matter, it is about BEING human and
expressing care, concern and enjoyment for life with every person around you!”

didn’t view female nudity as something to get excited about or concerned
about. The two females then laid down
and later fell asleep. I got up the
courage and . . . walked to the water.
It an odd but pleasant feeling to feel the breeze on my body. . . to be

“My HS had a pool that was open to the public. . .
After the swim, we would always take off our swim trunks and shower. Others would be in the showers too. I thought nothing of it. I remember one time as I was getting older,

on. I remember debating whether I should
have my suit on too. No one teased me or
anything, but I wondering which was correct: on or off. That was the first of many debates when I had

“Nudity is truth.
Nudity is sincerity. It allows us
to see beyond social class and pretension, of which clothing is always an
indicator. Paradoxically, nudity helps

“I’m one of those women who has always been on the
heavy side, but I was lucky to grow up in a family that allowed me not to be
afraid of my looks. Soon after I started
dating my future husband, he revealed he was a nudist and asked if I would come
to a local nudist resort. Believe it or
not, it was easy for me to take my clothes off the first time in front of
strangers. I know that’s not usually the
way it is, but I just felt safe with him there, along with that inner
confidence my dad gave me as a girl. I could
stop here and sound like being a nudist is easy. But, it isn’t all the time. Sometimes I still feel self-conscious about
my size. I must tell you I feel a lot
more comfortable and safe when I am with my nudist friends, because I don’t
feel like I’m constantly being judged.
So this is complicated. On the
one hand, it was easy for me. But on the
other hand, I still sometimes struggle with the cultural influences that
conspire to make all women feel that if they aren’t pencil-thin, there must be
something wrong. And that’s why I keep

“I think naturists are sometimes the least tolerated
of people, expressly because of their belief in the practice of social nudity.
. . When we practice our naturism, though we’d like to see more people join us,
we’re not twisting anyone’s arm. We’re
not saying that, in tolerating our naturism, people have to accept its
practice. On the flip side, however,
what does society in general do all the time?
Right, they want to force us into clothes. Oh, we’ve gotten past the days when the cops
will raid a nudist park, just because of the thought that people are doing
who-knows-what naked behind its fences, but let some man or woman garden in the
nude, strip off at remote beach, or hike naked in the wilderness and there will
always be some person, finger-pointing and screaming, ‘Shut that down!’ Where’s the love? Where’s the tolerance? . . . people in
general don’t understand the concept of tolerance. To tolerate something doesn’t mean we have to
accept it or practice it and that is where I feel people in general go wrong:
tolerance does not imply acceptance. . . we naturists have a tough row to hoe
for intolerance is a strong, pervasive force in any society and the cause of so
much mischief. I’m not saying we should
just give up and hide behind fences. No,
but we need to understand the hurdles we must clear toward acceptance of our
idea. Nudist and naturist pioneers have
labored long and hard to get us where we are today, sometimes against daunting
odds. We owe it to them to carry on, but
we won’t be able to make any progress if we sit idly by the pool at our
favorite nudist retreat ignorant of all the effort our forebears have
made. Along with our other work, let’s
work to educated people as to the true meaning of tolerance and, when we do, so
very, very many will benefit from it.

“Being in Thailand is . . . about healing . . . A
major part of that healing work is meditation for me, and given the
opportunity, nude meditation in a private, out-of-doors location. I meditate twice a day; once in the early
morning when the sound of birds becomes the background music, and once in the
mid-afternoon when the full sun can fall on my body. . . I am in the process of
recovering, rebuilding my life, remembering by putting recovered pieces back
into place in search of wholeness.” - https://skycladtherapist.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/meditating-and-re-membering-life/

“You can already eat naked so why not burn some energy
dancing in the buff as well? Forget
about spending hours getting ready or stressing about having the right outfit
for a night out, now you can just go in your birthday suit. The Takeover Bar in Soho is set to become
home to regular ‘Get Naked’ club nights, which encourage revelers to strip off
and enjoy what God gave them. . . Guests are allowed (and encouraged) to strip
off and dance, drink, and be merry, free of their clothing prison. If looking at other clubbers’ naked bits
wasn’t enough, there will also be naked hula-hoopers, naked waiting staff and
quite possibly musicians. . . or those uncomfortable with complete nudity,
that’s okay. There will be an onsite body paint artist to dab paint onto the
parts of you don’t want strangers to see.
For those willing to be completely free of all clothing, you’ll be given
a bottle of champagne in the spirit of liberation and having a great time.” - https://au.be.yahoo.com/travel/a/32830061/london-s-latest-trend-is-nude-nightclubs/#page1
“Every August thousands of people make the dusty trip
through the Black Rock Desert in Nevada to enjoy the . . . Burning Man festival
. . . While many dress up in bright
costumes to enjoy the music, art and performances, nakedness is certainly not
discouraged. One of the festival’s
camps, Gymnasium, holds nude events, from oil wrestling to barrel-run races . .

“I walked [naked] several bits of the coastal path . .
. some sections are mostly deserted others busier. One morning I must have met 20 people in the
couple of hours walking, only one that gave me an off look was a youngish bloke
on a mountain bike. When you meet
couples the female usually has a big grin.” – Ric, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=20172.0;topicseen

“Labels can cause anxiety, because they sometimes give
a sense of needing to completely redo one’s life in order to live up to
them. What does it mean to be a
naturist/nudist? How does one dress on a
cool day? What about hats? Sarongs?
What are the rules? This is not
to say that labels are bad, but they can be a challenge in some cases. Sharing simple familiar experiences, though,
I find to be an easy way of introducing nonsexual clothes free living. Whether or not others choose to be naked all
of the time, they at least have a lived experience of nonsexual social
nudity. They can see how I behave and
feel my energy. They are OK with the
concept and with me roaming about nude, even if they remain clothed. That has a powerful impact . . . Many
different approaches for many different humans! . . . they always say this, ‘I
loved spending time with you.’ They
don’t care about the labels. They are
just happy to have spent time with me, each of us simply being ourselves.” - https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/12/21/sharing-simple-things/
On Tuesday March 9, 2010, I freehiked the Olive Dell
Nature Trail and repaired several signs.
A few raindrops fell as I hiked.
Still, the trek felt wonderful, even after a day gardening in the
nude. There is something utterly and
uniquely pleasurable about freehiking. I
was reminded yet again how fantastic freehiking feels – even on a cool day.” –

“. . . my parents and two young nieces accidentally
caught me naked in the backyard from a distance. I managed to put shorts on before they got to
me but the secret was out. I really
hadn't tried to hide it, just had never admitted it to anyone. After that I thought 'why worry about who knows?'
and I even felt that nudism was such a great way of life that I wanted to
spread the word to others. So after that
I would casually let others know I'm a nudist when discussing things like how
warm it is, how good the sun feels, soaks in the hot tub, hiking, etc. It's really easy to just mention something
like 'I've recently found out that I like hiking nude much better than
clothed.' Or maybe, 'Yes, the sun feels
great but I don't like tan lines so tan without clothes.' Then, of course, they ask why I do it . . .
So we now try to tell everyone about nudism and have gotten mostly very
positive feedback. My girlfriend's
daughter has even stated it's fine if we are naked when she comes over (which
we do now). . . everyone we know, knows we are nudists and only one family
member had any kind of negative reaction, and she got over it in time. So I really think we worry way too much about
what others will think when we announce our nudism choice to others. Just present it with confidence and knowledge
and it will go fine.” – Guy, CO
