“Perhaps the ‘nude’ revolution will be one person at a time.  Since the time I was discovered nude by my wife's girlfriend there has been a more open dialogue with some of our closer friends about our home nudity.  In fact, it has met with more approval than I expected.  Small steps toward a more perfect world.” – Nudewalker

“I don’t think nudity is unhealthy for children unless it’s conditioned to be so by adults.  I think children can handle anything that they are taught is OK and so if children grow up with the sense that ‘nudity is bad or scary’ then that’s what they’ll believe.  If they grow up with the sense that ‘nudity is normal and human’ then they will be fine with it.  Kids grow up in the bush all the time surrounded by nudity and I’m pretty sure they’re not offended by it.” - Erica Simone, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/erica-simone-nude-interview-naked-in-nyc-pictures-nue-york-photography/

“Roman baths were a space where people of different social classes would wash side by side.  Throughout the Empire, the bathhouse played a democratizing role in which different races and ages were brought into contact. . . even the emperor . . . would frequently bathe with the people.  This naked cosmopolitanism was an important reference point for citizens and, as many histories attest, a key part of Rome’s appeal.  Directly experiencing other real bodies . . . is also an important way of understanding our own bodies which otherwise must be interpreted through the often distorted, sanitized and Photoshopped mirrors of advertising, film and other media.” – Jamie Mackay, https://aeon.co/ideas/why-we-need-to-bring-back-the-art-of-communal-bathing

“Naturists believe that clothes are often useful, such as a work uniform, or even necessary, such as for protection from the elements.  Naturists also believe that there is nothing inherently wrong with the human body, but rather that every human body is unique and beautiful in its own right, and each person's complete mind, body and soul has dignity.  To cast shame on the body is to deny self-worth.” - http://www.naktiv.net/blog/1150/a-nudism-petition-draft/

“The swimsuit industry is all about sexually objectifying women.  A lot of swimsuits are made to emphasize a woman’s cleavage and butt.  The over-sexualization of breasts is part of the reason we’re forced to wear tops at all. . . It sounds counter-intuitive, but nude beaches and nudist resorts create a more equal and less sexual environment because everyone is naked.” – Felicity Jones, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/why-bathing-suits-are-pointless-and-unhealthy/
