“Everyone knows the body is nude beneath all of our attempts to hide that truth, but we resist this obvious truth as we hold irrationally the belief that the exposure of genitals is something for which we would to be shamed and humiliated.  Our fear somehow has been codified into many law codes which are focused on punishing humans for being ‘natural’ human beings, at one with nature and their own bodies. . . So . . . naturists must navigate around in an attempt to avoid a vengeful society that demands that everyone belief the worst of humanity, believe that the bodies we have been born with are sinful.” – SkyClad, http://rglongpre.ca/naturistlens/2015/12/14/nude-boxer-of-quirinal/

“Paris, that well-known city of freedom. . . Recently, it has been proposed that a nudist zone will open in the city . . . Of course! Freedom to wear (or not wear) whatever you like is a cornerstone of the capital . . . ‘Don’t they have one already?’ . . . Paris has proved itself to be freethinking and liberal over public nudity. However, what seems to truly unnerve the French is the absence of nudity. . . French beaches are practically nudist areas already – enforcedly so.  It seems only natural this should spread to the capital city. . . the opening of Paris’s nudist zone will be a great success.  It is a sincere tribute to the freedom of expression, freedom of dress and freedom of belief of which France is so proud.  I only hope they will introduce a zone on beaches in which women are free to cover themselves up as well.” – Madeleine Mankey, http://www.studentnewspaper.org/paris-nudist-beaches-contradict-frances-attitude-to-women/?platform=hootsuite

“I try to live today, and each and every day, with the same enthusiasm for nudism, just as I did over 40 years ago.  I love being a Nudist/Naturist and living a nudist lifestyle!” - Gary G., Jacksonville, Florida, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=85

“I truly love nude hiking/camping and have been doing it for decades.  I think there are really . . . different sorts of nude hiking.  One is just a day hike in an area . . . These are hikes that you can do pretty safely alone, although certainly more enjoyable if you have some company. . . real backcountry in national park or forest has become my favorite because it's a several day trip and the fantastic experience of nude hiking is even more fantastic as you settle into the natural setting in which you are enjoying such total freedom and relaxation.  This type of hiking takes a lot of planning though because you really need to check out all sorts of things from textile enforcement policies to available resources, safety, etc.  This sort of hike should not be done alone . . . a truly magical form of enjoyment of the nudist lifestyle.” – Barebones, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=31955&page=3
