QUOTES 6/15/2018

“It again boils down to the question of sincerity.  What's the point of saying that nudity is natural but I keep my clothes on all the time?  And there is this point about staking our claim.  If all we can do is to have an intellectual acknowledgement that nudity is natural and decent but we don't do anything about it, the day will come when we'll lose all our right to go naked. . . Naturism is not just an academic point.  It's a right that we should lay a claim on.  Naturists must continually practice naturism.  We have to live it and not just give it mental assent. . . if we haven't been engaging in nude activities, we can't insist on continuing with something we haven't even started to do. . . Closet naturism is totally ineffective in spreading the seeds of naturism.” – T.L. Lim, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1162/my-christmas-today/

“Just a few days ago our niece Lisa invited us to her place for a . . . completely naked [Christmas] meal, her son and her partner were there and so was the secretary of a local naturism group.  We sat in a very warm lounge waiting for our naked chef to serve our meal, we chatted about many things which all seemed to have a base in nudity in some area of life or another.  The secretary . . . told us that her son and his wife always have their wedding anniversary night in a different hotel in a major city around the world and they always have a meal delivered to their room and they receive it naked, eat it naked, and call for room service to clear away. . . As we sat down to our meal we had a surprise visit from Lisa's neighbor, to see the look on her face when she saw six naked people were sat preparing to eat, was marvelous.  She wasn't embarrassed because she had seen Lisa nude before, but to see Lisa's son, her partner, and 3 older people all nude as well made her eyes glow with "Festive Glee"!  We stayed about 3 hours in total, after the meal we cleared away and then looked through several photos and video pics that had been taken down through the years. Wonderful.  It was a wrench to put clothes on before we left . . .” – Patrick Thompson, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1163/festive-glee/

“Every body is good, and every body is truly special and beautiful.  Our bodies were created for a purpose, and in turn we are all unique.” – Buck, https://cloptzone.wordpress.com/2016/12/04/the-beauty-of-naturism/

“But when you take your clothes off and you look around and see that there’s not two bodies that you’ll ever find that look the same, you’re forced to accept who you are.” Stephane Deschenes, http://www.theplaidzebra.com/spent-afternoon-naked-public-nothing-weird/?utm_content=buffer2a506&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

“I am convinced that being naked does more than liberate the body.  It liberates the mind in a very remarkable way.  That’s probably one of the health benefits that original naturism was pursuing. . . It feels as if my mind is open to more paths when my body is naked.” – Will, https://naturistfiction.org/writing-naked-is-psychological/
