“I understand censorship and I appreciate protecting people . . . but I don’t believe that we should demonize the natural, human form.  What I am sharing with the world through my images is real.  It is not pornographic or harboring some other hidden agenda.  My nudes are documentary in nature and serve to share a story called humanity.  They may be images of me, but the story is not about me – it is about love, beauty and identity, it is about struggle and perseverance - it is about the common thread that holds us all together, life.” –Julia Kozerski, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/interview-with-body-image-artist-and-photographer-julia-kozerski/

“I've found out that one neighbor . . . was not bothered in the least about our nudity.  Our previous next door neighbor would look over the fence and wave or ask me to come over to the fence to talk and it never involved my nudity. . . they were okay with it and didn't want to talk about it.” – AndyDi, https://www.truenudists.com/group/everyday-naked-living-revamped/1/108380/

“I am sixty-five and have been, since childhood, more comfortable without clothes.  At a very young age, I caught the idea that air bathing is indeed healthy.  After all, the skin is the largest organ of the body, and as such, it needs to breathe.” – Daye Delan, https://www.facebook.com/groups/nuddism

“. . . naturism is a way for people to be more human.  To connect with the joy of living that present day society seems to oppress regularly.  It may allow you to transcend into a more physical, organic being.  This could build self-confidence and improve your physical and mental well-being.” - http://livenaturism.com.ve/en/5-reasons-naturism-makes-people-healthy/

“. . . helping a person stuck in the floods, I got totally soaked to the skin, didn’t wanna get back into a fairly dry car with soaking clothes so stripped off next to the car and drove the rest of the way home naked.  A police man came over to me (I didn’t realize he was parked up the road) and just said to me, just be careful and said he would do exactly the same, then I got in the car, and carried on talking, he told me he was a naturist too, and really wished that it was possible to be naked 24/7 and gave be a piece of cloth from his car, to cover me for when I was going through the local built up areas, what a nice policeman.” – ptdrobbie, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=9857.2425

“Explore family nudity without feeling it's abnormal.  Young children have not yet acquired a sophisticated understanding of modesty, and really don't care who sees them naked.  This is the time when the parent can teach children not to be self-conscious of their bodies or of their nakedness.  This, in turn, will help children associate nakedness to routine activity instead of exclusively sexual activity.  As a result, the more prurient forms of nakedness lose their ‘forbidden fruit’ appeal.” - http://m.wikihow.com/Practice-Nudity-in-Your-Family

“Take the first step and begin by spending an hour a day naked - It’s time to bite the bullet and try nudity, because if you don’t, you’ll never know what it’s like.  Perhaps it’s not your thing to wander about the house nude all day long…if this sounds like you, I recommend beginning by just reading a book nude for 20 minutes, or cooking dinner.  You may feel uncomfortable at first (or you may love it!), either way step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself to bare your body to the world.” – Juliet, https://medium.com/talk-tabu/how-to-feel-comfortable-naked-every-day-2d7bea3d96e2

July 1, 2016, Amy and I spent the morning enjoying our land.  She sunbathed in the garden area, while I raked the path, planted a trail sign, and replaced several boards on a fence (all nude of course).  Then we freehiked to the bottom of the hill where we meditated on a large rock, took in the wonderful scenery, and I enjoyed watching a Pompilid wasp catch a spider, and a fuzzy white Mutillid wasp.  The breeze felt so nice on our bare skin!  It was wonderfully refreshing morning.  A few more months and the house will be built so we can enjoy this wonderful spot every day.” – Ken Sunwalker, http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=819.0;topicseen

“Nowadays we wish we had more nude images from our earlier days.  Not for any risque purpose . . . Just for ‘remembering when.’  The same as we ‘remember when’ in looking at ourselves in our college sweatshirts . . . Or in a camp staff t-shirt.  It's all part of our life story and some of it is missing when it comes to the birthday suits. . . With the proliferation of digital-camera-equipped cell phones and ‘selfies’ these days, there's no reason for the ‘natural’ part of your life to be missing as it is preserved in images. . . The day will probably come when you'd like to take a walk down the lane of memories and have some of those memories include a detour through the nudist woods.” – Bare Platypus, http://bareplatypus.blogspot.com/2015/08/take-naked-selfies-keep-em-secret-keep.html?spref=tw

“Cobblers Beach (Sydney, Australia) is at the end of Middle Head Road, Mosman, on Sydney harbor.  To get to Cobblers Beach from the city, cross over the Harbor Bridge and turn off toward Neutral Bay along Military Road (Route 14).  Follow this road to Spit Junction.  Continue straight ahead at Spit Junction through Mosman Junction and just after Raglan Street bear left into Middle Head Road.  Follow this to the end, near the entrance to the navy base.  Cobblers Beach is accessed via a walking track on the northern side (left) of Middle Head.  This is a five-minute walk to Cobblers on an unsealed road called Cobblers Beach Road.  It's a steady decline and is easier than the alternative steep track located at the edge of the oval that some locals use.  During the summer weekends Cobblers Beach can become crowded as it is popular with families and couples.  This is the best time for new nudists to visit as you blend with the rest and are less likely to be self-conscious.  Cobblers Beach is the location for the Sydney Skinny annual nude fund raiser swim.” – http://sydneyskinnydippers.weebly.com/nudist-beaches.html

“I actually was encouraged by my boss to work in the nude if I was comfortable.  I worked midnight to 5:30 in the morning at a . . . bookstore.  No monkey business but I did work nude for about 4 months.  It was fun and even had the blessings of the local law enforcement.  It was the perfect job if only I could make a living at it.” – Love2bnude52

“As for being caught [freehiking] . . . There have been several times when others would be upon me before I could slide into my shorts.  I have never had a bad experience even though there have been times when women were in the group of textiles I met.  The closest thing to a negative experience was once when hiking along a trial up to the AT I was face to face with an elderly gentleman and his wife before I could dress.  He smiled in passing and she said I needed to put some clothes on. . . I think the key to being seen while hiking naked by textiles is to act natural.  Being naked in the outdoors is natural.  If you are not acting in a lewd and lascivious way, or don't act guilty but just simply wave and continue as normal, speak if spoken too, in a pleasant manner, and carry on your way.  I have at times been met by other hikers who were clothed and they stopped me and we spoke for some time.  It was very pleasant and they did not seem to be threatened by my being naked at all.  So, get out there and hike nude.  It is greatly relaxing and wonderfully enjoyable.” – Richardetnp, http://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=99690&page=last

“But even when you can ignore all the body-shaming media and advertising, you’re still faced with the task of finding a swimsuit that fits well.  For ‘plus-size’ women and women with large breasts, it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.  When you do find your holy grail of a suit, you’re lucky if it doesn’t come with a hefty price tag. . . How much of a relief would it be to skip this whole process and go to a nude beach or nude pool instead?” – Felicity, YNA, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/why-bathing-suits-are-pointless-and-unhealthy/

“Probably one of the most recognizable benefits of being nude, is that you are free from restrictive clothing . . . This begins with being free of those undergarments that are maybe a little too tight with that elastic band, the bra that is a little too small so that it holds up the breast, and for those with a little more weight than they like, that ever so tight girdle.  You ever wonder why the first thing paramedics/medics do is unfasten clothing especially bras and tight fitting shirts and pants.  The answer is that these items tend to restrict the flow of blood.  If you can run around the house in the nude . . . [it] is always a good thing.  You will truly get better blood flow.  But, if you must wear clothes, loose fitting, but tasteful is always recommended.” – Jessica, http://femalenaturist.blogspot.com/2013/05/nudity-health-benefits-of-being-naked.html

“Along with nudist parks, some entrepreneurs have started nudist housing developments apart from traditional nudist parks.  There are even entire naked communities in Central and South America to where folks can retire.  When you get down to it, nudist parks started as intentionally naked communities from the beginning, places where city and suburban families could have little summer cottages, where they could enjoy freely the benefits of nude living.” - Tom Pine Newdesletter, 17 #1

“A few months ago we were watching a program on TV about the RV lifestyle. . . One of the items in the program was Clothing-Optional campgrounds. . . a few weeks ago . . . my wife brought it up suggesting it would be fun to find a Clothing-Optional campground and go see what it's all about. . . I called the office at Shangri la Ranch and explained my wife and I would like to visit for a weekend and it would be our first time at a nudist resort.  They were more than happy to accommodate us, even putting us in an RV space right across from the club house, pools, cafe, and hot tub.  After setting up camp and having lunch, we shed our clothes and headed for the pool.  It felt so natural and free, we immediately felt at home.  We went to the dance in the club house that evening and had a ball dancing naked for 3 1/2 hours.  We did not care we were naked and no one else cared we were naked either.  We met several very nice couples who were excited to meet us and celebrated our first time with us.  Rose and I can hardly wait to go back.” - Mark & Rose, Arizona, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=20

“Hi, my name is Donna and I am - but haven't always been - a naturist.  My parents brought me up deeply religious . . . nude recreation . . . wasn't a concept I was . . . even aware of. . . We were separated from ‘the real world’ immersing ourselves only with everything church … [however], around the home, they [my parents] were always open – neither Mum or Dad hid away their nakedness or showed us that nudity was anything to be ashamed of – but we knew that was okay just for home.  During one family holiday to Cooks Beach (I was about 13-years old) and a day trip to Cathedral Cove our family was joined on the beach by . . . European tourists who, much to my lovely father's horror, proceeded to undress and have awesome fun setting up their picnic, running in and out of the water, and throwing a Frisbee . . . That was my first experience with social nudity.  So, fast-forward . . . I'm newly married . . . [we arranged a] Honeymoon Picnic where you get dropped at an isolated island . . . I found that my husband had no problems going nude outside . . . and I did.  After that experience, we began going to nude or clothing-optional beaches.  I was the reluctant partner . . . Each time however got a little easier . . . My husband . . . was very understanding and never pushed.  6 years ago, we booked to stay at Katikati Naturist Park . . . I'd warned my husband that I was just going to stay in the cabin and relax and not walk around anywhere with him.  However, when we arrived, I was truly taken by the place.  It really wasn't long at all before we went for our first wander, exploring the grounds, nervously, almost terrifiedly waving at those we passed . . . within days, of arriving home, we contacted the club we now belong to for a visit, became members and within a couple of months brought a caravan there which we now enjoy...every weekend. . . I am no longer reluctant.  Naturism and nudity are part of my life and I embrace the benefits I receive in my body, my mind and also in my soul. . . it didn't take long to realize I actually enjoyed the feel of the breeze on my entire body and gardening or working around the caravan without clothes.  The awkwardness of talking to people without my clothes on left quickly – everyone was so genuine and welcoming – and I began to enjoy socializing more with fellow members in the nude.  Today, my greatest enjoyment comes from introducing people to clothes-free living so they can experience the joys and benefits it holds . . .” – Donna Miller, New Zealand Naturist Federation, V 17, #12, http://www.thenakedtruthnaturists.com/Portals/0/The%20Naked%20Truth%20Naturists_vol_17_no_12.pdf

“No matter what you think about porn, it has harmed people and their reputations.  Many men (and a growing amount of women) in our culture ‘salivate’ at any sign of skin.  Why is that?  We suggest that the mind has been conditioned by our culture to equate nakedness with sex. . . because ‘sex sells.’  We have discovered that social nudity and other forms of Good Nudity counteract this and renew the mind to the goodness of the body. . . People who have battled porn learn that all bodies are good. . . As soon as people step into the context of the good nudity found in naturism they discover the lie of the world regarding the body.  The grip of lust is broken in the heart by the goodness of seeing the body in all ages, sizes, shapes and colors.” - http://www.oursunhome.com/christian_nudist.htm

“In fact, nearly all of the Bible’s instructions regarding modest clothing refer not to sexuality, but rather materialism . . . Writers in both the Old Testament and New Testament express grave concern when the people of God flaunt their wealth by buying expensive clothes and jewelry while many of their neighbors suffered in poverty. . . And so biblical modesty isn’t about managing the sexual impulses of other people; it’s about cultivating humility, propriety and deference within ourselves.” - Rachel Held Evans, http://qideas.org/articles/modesty-i-dont-think-it-means-what-you-think-it-means/

“I ran across an article regarding toxic clothing. . . The body absorbs what is put on the skin, including pesticides and other toxins contained in clothing.  Clothing also restricts the skins ability to breathe and thus hinders the release of toxins from the body.  In this regard, many nudists really are healthier than our textile friends.  A fact that should help support a nudist lifestyle when taking to friends, family, or government regulators that attempt to impose laws against nudity.” – Garden Lover, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1127/toxic-clothing/

“. . . if society would allow people to be nude when they want to be, it would become a big, fat, nothing, zero, zed, null.  After all, society has adjusted to less clothing.  Just look at how people went about in public in 1906 as opposed to now to see what I mean.  I see no less happening were nudity approached in this way.  Eventually, everyone would incorporate it into the everyday scheme of things. . . just visit . . . nudist parks across this country and you’ll find people going about their day like any other people, only without clothing.  That’s right; gardening, barbecuing, strolling, cycling, playing sports, swimming, reading, socializing—all without a stitch on.  You’ll be ‘underwhelmed’ by how normal the whole scene is once you get past the simple nakedness—just people going about their lives.  And don’t go citing something bad that happened at a nudist park—something the media loves to do—as if those kinds of things don’t happen in a clothed environment.  They happen, not because people are naked; they happen because people are people." - Tom Pine

When I got to Swyre Head [I met a] few people, couples and singles [who] were intrigued by my bike . . . So, remarkable weather, remarkable scenery, remarkable bike, the fact that I was bollock-naked - no remark whatsoever. . .

“. . . what if someone from work finds out? . . . most of us don’t live in the repressive and hypocritical Victorian or Biblical eras any more, thank goodness, and people are generally much more mature in their knowledge of nudity these days.  I recall a recent employer of mine discussing a project, where there was need of some confrontational joviality to lighten the mood, and knowing my penchant for naked activities, suggesting we do a naked Maori Haka for the other half of the team.  Clearly the idea of being naked at work is not as outrageous as some would have us believe.” – Richard Foley, http://pub.rfi.net/what-if-someone-at-work-finds-out/

“I believe that because young children are rarely reluctant to run around and play naked and have to be taught that society frowns on public nudity, there can be little doubt that most, if not all, people are born nudists.  I think it is unfortunate that adults teach young children that there is something fundamentally wrong with being seen naked.  How can that possibly adversely affect anyone?  How can anyone claim to be offended by the sight of a nude person?  But I digress.  I am definitely a born nudist.  For as long as I can remember I have been more comfortable nude than clothed.” - Bill Bowser

“On Tuesday March 9, 2010, John, dressed only in a shirt and shoes, dropped off the resort’s weed eater and some gas, and I got started.  I don’t necessarily recommend operating a weed eater nude, because it has a tendency to throw up small rocks, but it made the task much more enjoyable.  Besides, my clothes didn’t end up covered with small bits of green that easily washed off my body when I showered afterwards.  After an enjoyable day freegardening, Dellmaze Park looks mowed and beautiful, ready for guests.” – Kenfreehiker

Housework, especially cleaning is a very demanding task, and there are very few people who enjoy doing it.  However, you can make cleaning your house more fun and enjoyable by doing it without clothes.  Cleaning your house while naked is very comfortable, and at the same time, extremely practical; you can get as messy as you want and clean up easily without worrying about soiled or ruined clothes.  The feeling of freedom that comes from cleaning your house without clothes is also very liberating and stimulating.” - http://blog.vritomartis.com/top-18-things-to-do-naked/

“Nine-year-old Alex Reamer lives at a nudist camp.  ‘I don't wear clothes much!  I just like to be nude.’  Alex and his family are nudists.  That means naked swimming, naked cleaning, naked homework.  Naked everything. – Alex Reamer, http://abcnews.go.com/US/growing-nudist-naked-childhood/story?id=16268502&cid=share_facebook_widget

“I was sitting with my mum (my parents are divorced) and decided to just tell her what happened [going to a nude beach], that I was curious and found I enjoyed it.  Thankfully she was really positive about it, said she was proud of me for having the confidence to try it and if I enjoyed it she had no issues with it at all.  It was great to actually talk about it openly and for it to be accepted. . . My mum admitted she sunbathed topless abroad before I was born so could understand the appeal. . . When we were chatting she did say as we have a private garden with no near neighbors she wouldn't be too bothered if I wanted to go nude out there when the weather's decent.” – Elliot96, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=21209.0;topicseen

“I simply detest that some things make people feel ashamed about being naked.  That is what stops people from feeling comfortable in their nakedness: shame.  There is nothing inherently bad about nakedness.  After all, we were all born naked.  Yet, our conversations, our media and our culture in general perpetuate this widespread belief that our naked body is something to be ashamed of.  I have found a lot of freedom in resisting this shame, and I would love to see more people embrace their naked bodies.  There is an undeniable culture of shame around nakedness, and, frankly, I think it's stupid.  Bodies are awesome.  Naked bodies are awesome.  Every body is beautiful, and there should be no reason to feel ashamed about being comfortable in your own nakedness.” – Katelyn Reimer, http://flathatnews.com/2016/10/03/behind-closed-doors-being-naked-and-feeling-free/

“I got in the car and stripped off my t shirt and shorts and headed home.  I missed a turn and had to take a small detour that had me stop at a light.  A guy on his bike rode right up next to me and stopped and balanced himself with a foot on the curb.  He looked over into my car and then took a double take.  He smiled and gave me a thumbs up. . . The light was about to change.  He looks over at me again and makes a motion with his hands as to say he wanted to take his clothes off too and then gave me another thumbs up and the light changed.  He rode across the street and I made my left turn.” – AndyDi, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=8077&idt=90164&page=2

QUOTES 12/20/2018

“I have been caught hundreds of times either hiking or just sitting in the woods [naked].  Never had much of a problem with it.  Sometimes we would just pass each other, sometimes we would chat a bit and sometimes others would join me.  I have never been shy about being naked around others and am very comfortable.  My favorite is coming across others and they say I didn't know you could be naked here.  I always say not sure if you can but what better way to get back to nature.  I have met some very cool people when hiking and may have even converted some to nudism.” – Nudistbicpl, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=43786&vpage=1

“My wife Rose and I are newly-weds in our mid-50s.  Throughout our lives we skinny-dipped as kids and teenagers, but never were able to do so as adults in our previous marriages.  Last summer, just before we got married, we began enjoying going in the pool naked.  We sat on the patio to dry off after getting out letting our skin bask in the sunlight.  What a wonderful feeling.  Not long after this, we began doing yard work, naked, in the back yard where the block fence gave us some privacy. . . Now we spend a lot of time naked in the back yard and we should since we've done so much work back there.” - Mark & Rose, Arizona, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=20

“Truth is, human nudity is one of the most-healthy things for developing children in terms of understanding themselves and the world around them.  Without nudity, children can’t develop understanding of real bodies or benchmarks in life.  It can lead to serious doubt, body image issues, and reduced self-confidence.  Even worse, lack in understanding our basic humanity can lead to difficultly in accepting others.” - http://outgoingnudist.tumblr.com/post/115904281232/madeinthenude-no-debate-we-have-a-right-to-be

“It feels wholesome and healthy to work nude in the warm Spring or Summer days, bare feet in the gardens. . . I had negative feelings about my body when younger, but working naked with other men and women, being in harmony with the earth, is just a relief and a joy.” – Paul

“I . . . experienced gardening without clothing . . . so I know that feeling of spiritual grounding with the earth.  Doing farming chores when naked expands that feeling to my whole body.  I feel the energy of the sun, wind, and the earth itself.  There is a oneness of purpose with my fellow workers to cooperate with mother nature to raise this wonderful food.” – Dennis

QUOTES 12/19/2018

“It’s ironic how many who have chosen the nudist lifestyle are ones who were picked on as kids growing up; they were nerds who were never excepted into the cool crowd or they were individuals who were made fun of for being imperfect while facing lack of conformity issues.  Yet they come right out and expose themselves while the others who made fun of them are now far too ashamed /afraid to be socially nude.” - https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nude-for-thoughts/

“Hey, I just wanted to tell you that you were the first other female nudist I saw here.  And because of you, I decided to go fully nude.” – hontouniheart, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/08/25/wow-choice/

“My daughter told me that it was obvious to her that I was 'on a mission to preach naturism’ . . . I'll continue doing what I believe to be correct and if there are still those who are offended, well, I wasn't born to please everybody.” – TL Lim, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1088/promoting-naturism-in-asia/

(January 12, 2010) Several naturist friends visited Dellymaze Park today, including our friend Andrew who stopped by saying he couldn’t not visit on such a nice day.  I showed him the new attractions in the Park, and took him up the nature trail; then he continued on freehiking.  Later in the afternoon we soaked together along several couples in the spa, and enjoyed a naked meal in the restaurant.” - Kenfreehiker

“If we are ashamed and embarrassed of our bodies, we are ashamed and embarrassed of ourselves.” - https://rfgjga1992.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/lets-do-all-this-to-promote-nudism/

“Spending time in a naturist environment you will come home with a different view of yourself and your body.  You will be more in tune with the world in which you live.  Naturism is a great jumping off point for respect and love of the whole world and the community in which we live.” – Vicki Pinkerton, http://www.thebulletinmagazine.com/bareoaks.html

“DO tell the important, close, people in your life about what you love naturism.  If you're in a serious relationship, have very good friends who know you and your family, or know others who you believe can ‘handle it’ don't miss the chance to share an important aspect of your life that could even open up the enjoyment of nudism for them.” - http://bareplatypus.blogspot.com/2013/02/when-and-how-should-nudists-tell.html?spref=tw
