“I became a nudist in my teens.  The nudist movement was then - as it is now - dominated by older people.  Did I let that put me off?  No I didn't.  Why?  Because I was never of the opinion that only the young and beautiful should be seen naked.  Now I am one of those 'older people' who wishes the youth of today weren't so hard on themselves and so lost in a world of self-doubt, self-loathing and shame.” - N4K3D, https://www.reddit.com/r/nudism/comments/5kff24/nudism_needs_to_burn_itself_and_rebuild

“Last summer I was waiting for a man to come and check the central-heating boiler.  I had a pair of shorts ready to put on when the door-bell rang and was raking the lawn in the back garden.  To my surprise, the boiler-man didn't bother ringing the door-bell as he heard someone in the garden, but just came around to the back garden . . . and caught me starkers.  I'm not sure who was more surprised.” – Tim, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=1908.0;topicseen

“Nudity transforms even the most boring recreation into a good time.” – http://nudistscorp.com/backyard-nudists.html

“I was like all young children.  I was a natural naturist and had no inhibitions about nudity and no thoughts that there is anything unusual or wrong with nudity.  My first memory of nudity was as a little boy, probably aged about seven, on a beach in Cornwall.  It wasn’t a memory of being naked, but a memory of being made to have a towel around my waist when changing into a swimming costume on the beach in case I upset anyone on the beach!  The process of social conditioning had begun and was probably complete by the time as an 11-year-old we were made to take communal showers after rugby.  It wasn’t long before all the boys either dodged or wore swimming costumes in the showers.  The only chink in the social conditioning was the example of some of our sports teachers who used the boys’ showers, naked, as there weren’t any separate showers for the staff.” – Brian, http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/12/01/naturist-talks-brian-uk/

“One problem that naturists face when wanting to ‘come out’ is how to raise the subject.  At work or with family and friends, one cannot easily bring up the subject, at least many find that is true- you cannot just say out of the blue ‘I am a naturist’ or even ‘we went to a nude beach’ on holiday, many fear to do that.  Having a book that is easily found amongst books on other subjects makes a clear point, nothing is hidden.” - https://thoughtfulnaturist.wordpress.com/2016/11/24/why-nude-thoughts-and-reflections-on-social-nudity/
