“We aren’t exposed to a full variety of naked bodies, so our ideas about what’s normal or beautiful—they become distorted. And certain bodies become privileged in our culture while most bodies are denigrated. . . So the naturist movement strives to serve as an antidote to harmful cultural messages about the body, and to provide experiences that correct our misconceptions.” – Evan, http://www.humanistexperience.com/podcast/episode4/transcript/

“Restricting nudity to sex results in more sexual immorality, addiction, and abuse NOT less!” - Nate Dekan, http://socalnaturist.org/articles/child_abuse1.html

“. . . cutting grass without clothes on is fun! . . . Now I have something else to add to my list of things to do in the nude.” - http://nudisuzie.com/page/4/

“I saw the movie ‘The Bucket List’ and it made me think of my own bucket list.  One of the things I had always wanted to do was visit a nude resort.  I had swum nude in Lake Mead often and a few other places and liked the feeling of freedom you get being nude.  I decided to find a nearby nudist facility and visit. . . I went alone to Mountaindale Sun Resort.  The host was very friendly and explained the rules and gave me a quick tour.  I could not wait to get undressed and join the people at the pool.  I really enjoyed my visit and went back a few more times.  The pool, hiking trails, spa and grounds are a great place to spend time.  Being nude felt so natural I quickly embraced the concept.  My wife does not share my enthusiasm so my opportunities to visit are reduced.  My times at the nudist resort are some of the most relaxing and enjoyable recreation I have ever done.  I am certainly glad I acted on fulfilling one of the items on my ‘bucket list.’  I found fellow nudists to be a very friendly crowd.” - Wayde D., Oregon, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=95

“OK, let’s face it: the word ‘nudist’ is far sexier, in journalism circles, than the word ‘naturist’ is.  ‘Nudist’ in a headline is certain to draw more reader clicks on an article than ‘naturist’ will.: - Jillian Page, http://jillianpage.com/2013/08/03/nudismnaturism-and-the-jennifer-aniston-story/

“The World Naked Bike Ride event, which has been running for several years in Melbourne and abroad, was touted as both a ‘party on wheels’ and the ‘biggest naked protest in the world’.” - http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/australia/77357936/Cyclists-strip-off-for-Melbournes-final-nude-bike-ride
