“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/

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

“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.” –

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

“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

“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

“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

“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.” –

“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

suburban families could have little summer cottages, where they could enjoy
freely the benefits of nude living.” - Tom Pine Newdesletter, 17 #1

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

“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,

“No matter what you think about porn, it has harmed people

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

Writers in both the Old Testament and New Testament express grave concern when

isn’t about managing the sexual impulses of other people; it’s about

“I ran across an article regarding toxic clothing. . .
The body absorbs what is put on the skin, including pesticides and other toxins

nudists really are healthier than our textile friends. A fact that should help support a nudist

“. . . if society would allow people to be nude when

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

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

“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.” –

“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

“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

“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/

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
