“I used to be a size eight and now that I’ve had three children I’m a 14 . . . It wasn’t a lifelong ambition to be painted nude, but a girlfriend had it done and I liked it, so I went ahead and I loved the result.  It made me think about myself differently.  It’s a large canvas in oils, perhaps three foot by five foot.  The picture hangs in the family room at home, where my friends see it and my son’s friends also.  You can’t tell at a glance that it’s me, but if anyone asks I always say. ‘My son was 14 when I had it done and he’s cool with it.” - Lorraine Price, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2030222/Would-pose-nude-portrait-I-did-45--unexpectedly-liberating-experience-life.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

“Naturismo” (Video) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8guiectpWI8

“Naturism, or nudism, is a cultural and political movement practicing, advocating and defending social nudity, most but not all of which takes place on private property.  The term may also refer to a lifestyle based on personal, family and/or social nudism.” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturism

“History reveals many cultures that were not clothes-minded.  Spartans were basically bare and their victories in pan-Hellenic sports competitions enticed all neighboring Greeks to exercise nude, creating the word gymnasium. . . Romans mingled in magnificent bathhouses, enjoying dense communal nudity as they drank, dined, defecated, bathed, read books, argued politics, and watched theater.  Adamists . . . performed stripped-down church services in North Africa, Bohemia, the Netherlands, and England.  Pre-Hitler Germans were avid adherents of Freikorperkultur . . .with 70,000 attending co-ed Nacktkulur schools.  There’s naked Japanese in hot springs, naked Finns in saunas, ‘sky-clad’ Jain monks in India, plus millions of nudists worldwide . . .” – Hank Pellissier, http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/pellissier20120314

“Once in a Blue Moon, I stand naked in nature, feel her power.” - http://nakeddaydreamer.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/sacred-nudity-haikus.html

“When I am naked in nature I feel brightly alive and truly human, cleansed of the modern world.” - https://twitter.com/SacredNudity

“Experts are now starting to tell us that children are not getting enough sun. Between the hysteria of always remaining clothed and the latest fear craze of developing skin cancer, children are suffering from a vitamin D deficiency, even to the point where that supposedly archaic disease of rickets is beginning to return.” – Creative, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=2925&idt=14836&page=2
