QUOTES 2/27/2019

[In Sri Lanka] “Some women used to walk around completely topless in our villages without anyone caring before the 19th century and nudity was always considered as a natural and wholesome thing even within the royalty, and was also very heavily connected to our art and performances throughout our ancient history.  It was after the British invasion that things began to change with the people readily adopting the new Victorian moralities.  However other problems like misunderstood religious and cultural stigmas . . . have sadly meant that people have come to view nudity as something that is ugly and when it’s needed, to be an extremely personal thing.” – Nick and Lins quoting Madushan, 23 years young, from Sri Lanka, http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/09/22/the-naturist-talks-madushan-from-sri-lanka/

“Body acceptance is an important part of the entire nude experience at a beach, resort of local club. . . From our experience, a nude beach or resort will quickly get you comfortable.  No one cares what you look like in the buff.” - https://ourclothingoptionaltrips.wordpress.com/2014/05/27/to-be-nude-or-not-to-be-nude-there-is-no-question/

“. . . there are many scientifically valid reasons for us to do away with clothes. . . clothes cause problems.  Look at the long history of clothes being used as a tool of oppression and control, often resulting in political problems.  If we didn’t have clothes, we wouldn’t have the means to use them to make people’s lives harder. . . clothes have probably held back human advancement significantly.” – Dean Burnett, https://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2016/aug/25/beyond-burkinis-why-science-suggests-all-clothes-should-be-banned

“We need to find a way to change society’s thinking here in the US that naked bodies are sinful, shameful, ugly and freaky.  I would like to reduce this type of thinking by creating more positive body acceptance.” – Guy Purcella, https://www.facebook.com/groups/PromotingNudism/

“In the third state of nudity, you do not realize you are naked, you are just like you are and it feels comfortable.  This is up to a point that, if you’re home and somebody rings the doorbell, you may open the door naked, or you want to fetch mail and you go to your letter box entirely naked, with potentially all neighbors being able to see you.  And this is where, some nudists, like myself, are frustrated by laws that forbid us to be naked when and where we want, not because we are exhibitionists, just because nudity is a normal and natural state for us.  This is the state I am in almost every time I am naked, should it be at home, at the beach, at a nudist resort or on a hiking trail, or like now, while typing this post on my computer.  While I cannot explain why nudity feels so good, I embraced nudism years ago now and it just feels great to me.” - https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/the-3-states-of-nudity-on-becoming-a-nudist/
