QUOTES

“I stood naked in front of a group of my closest
friends, both men and women, while they told me things they loved about my
body. . . Each of us was given the chance to stand in front of the group and
receive affirmations and gratitude from the others. So there I stood, fully exposed—bold and
vulnerable. It was a powerful experience
that has moved me further along my path of healing and self-love. . . What did
I learn? How ridiculously comfortable
and natural it feels to be naked in a group of people you know, love and trust.
. . Love dissolves fear. I gained huge
appreciation for all the different kinds of bodies there are. I discovered that through honoring my naked
body I honor every other woman around me and hold the possibility for her to
love and accept herself fully. . . I don’t have the fears I used to hold onto
around my body, holding me back from the fullest and most loving expression of
myself. I can just be me. Bold.
Authentic. Beautiful. Just the
way I was created.” – Sarah Biverson, http://www.elephantjournal.com/2015/11/how-3-experiences-helped-me-stop-my-body-shaming-start-loving-my-naked-self/
“Sexual shame
and guilt begins with clothing. Which is
why taking off our clothing in the presence of others is a critical step in
healing self-limitations.” - Manning Haile, http://lovingsexualenergy.com/blog/2014/2/3/sexual-shame-and-guilt-starts-the-moment-we-put-clothes-on
“When we talk about our own naturist experiences and
we continue to talk about them, a time will come when the idea of nudity
becomes normal and acceptable. I believe
the world is so negative towards naturism because of sheer ignorance about it.
. . many naturists are hiding their faces and genitals or turning their backs
to the camera, what chance is there for nudity to be normalized in the minds of
this degenerate world?” – T.L.Lim, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1168/shout-it-from-the-rooftops/
“Naked demonstrations, which are quickly gaining
popularity, actually show how little acceptance of nakedness there is in the
main public.” – Capoverde, http://spotnaked.com/how-facebook-changes-a-liberal-nation/4433/?utm_content=bufferbe1d5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
“I found myself more empowered naked than I did with
the saloon outfit on . . . I was surprised, too . . . shooting her scenes . . .
completely naked . . . People treated me with respect, like they were grateful
for how committed I was to trying to tell the story right . . . When you truly
expose yourself. When you truly show
that you have nothing to hide, people are tender towards you . . . We associate
nudity with sex. Not with
vulnerability. Not with tenderness . . .
We’re conditioned to expect that mentality, which is why she thinks people have
been so thrown for a loop by her response when questioned about the Westworld
nude scenes. It’s a stereotypical
question and they expect a stereotypical answer . . . I stepped into that
space. I felt challenged. I felt how much I was committing and how much
I was sacrificing. And I was treated
with tenderness.” – Maeve Newton, http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/30/westworld-s-biggest-badass-thandie-newton-on-maeve-s-empowering-nudity.html
