“I’m Miles, an artist living in SW Cornwall.  lucky enough to live within a stones throw of one of the most beautiful naturist beaches in the UK.  Molly and I have been naturists for around five years.  We like to get to the beach whenever we can which sadly isn’t often enough and we try to sneak in one or two naturist holidays every year.  Oh and the occasional naked disco from time to time!” - https://ournaturistblog.wordpress.com/

“In Ancient Greece nakedness was the badge of heroes.  Olympic athletes competed naked and statesmen and gods were depicted in the nude.  Athletes trained at the gymnasium – a name derived from gymnós, meaning naked.  Gymnasiums also held lectures and discussions on philosophy, literature, and music.  Naked athletics competitions varied within Greek states.  In Sparta women competed in the nude, but other states banned females as participants and spectators if male nudity was on show.” – Philip Car-Gomm, http://www.bbc.co.uk/timelines/z96fsg8

“There are many reasons why non-sexual nudity, such as skinny-dipping, free hiking, and going to nudist resorts, is compatible with Christian beliefs.  Most people think that a nude beach and Christianity are incompatible.  Growing up, many Christians – at least in America – have been taught that going to a nude beach would be a sin as it automatically brings about lustful thoughts or encourages people to commit adultery or to have sex with some random person.  There’s only one problem with this mentality.  It’s flawed logic.” - https://naturistbeachnorthflorida.wordpress.com/2014/07/28/christianity-and-nudity/

[Naturism was great for my children.]  “They could all tell you of their adventures.  It’s really the sociability of the whole thing.  They had free range.  This is really no different than in town, except when it gets hot, you won’t see us wearing clothes.” – Diana Cratty, http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2016/07/10/arizona-nude-games-shangri-la-ranch-new-river/86902520/

“Ask most women to strip down in public and you’ll get a look of horror, probably accompanied by a deep shudder.  Notoriously hard on ourselves, we don’t embrace our bodies as temples for our spirits; we fight them for their flaws.” – Shannon Linden, http://www.okanaganwoman.com/#!The-Naked-Truth/c1rcn/575c133e0cf231679150c3aa
