“Because we are happy in a naturist environment does not mean we want any Bob or Jack seeing us naked.  Naturist groups are respectful, non-sexual situations where one doesn't look at another's body because there is no need to.  We simply all have naked bodies and it isn't appropriate or worthwhile to stare. . . being naked we are not an invitation.  You have no right to enter a naturist area if you have no respect for this lifestyle and you certainly have no right to stare or photograph us.  This would be weird in general public so why would you intimidate someone simply because they happened to be aiming for a no-white-bits tan?” - Melissa, http://melissadowning.weebly.com/blog/why-nudity-is-neccessary

“Sometimes called the ‘Naked City,’ Cap d’Agde Naturist Village is the world’s largest clothing-optional beach resort, attracting as many as 40,000 guests on any given day during high season.  Visitors are free to be naked wherever they want — restaurants and stores, post offices or banks, sailing their boat or lounging on the long public beach (where nudity is obligatory, even for those not staying at the resort).” - http://fox5sandiego.com/2018/05/29/dare-to-bare-15-of-the-worlds-best-nude-beaches/

“. . . I find the whole idea of getting dressed to get wet utterly ludicrous – all that stupid tugging of towels to prevent anyone being shocked by the sight of flesh.” – Philip Hoare, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep/04/nudity-isnt-indecent-british-tradition-naked-rambler

“Naked is our natural state and we shouldn't be denied the right to be naked if we so choose!” – Harold Connors, https://www.change.org/p/public-nudity-should-be-exempt-from-penal-laws/c/732455025

“Sure, some people might believe they are offended by nude bathers, but, if you never encounter anything that offends you in your community, you are not living in a free society.” - https://twitter.com/BeNudeToday/status/977530923502718976
