“While I think that those who can and will share photos do much to enhance the image and dispel negative perceptions of the nudist lifestyle, it is important to recognize that some people are unable to do so.  I was in a profession in which such photos would have caused severe professional repercussions to myself and the credibility of my employer.  I had to stick with legal nudist activities and not expose (no pun intended) myself to indiscreet people.  This included the avoidance of cameras and not posting photographs. . . Another thing I would hate to see happen to anyone, is to have family and friends find out third hand or before the person is ready to reveal a nudist lifestyle.” – Anabasis

“The most beautiful thing about every woman was the way that each of our bodies told our story.  We are varied and different, but we all bear the mark of our lived experiences.  From stretch marks and cellulite to C-section scars, all of these things were allowed to be beautiful because they were allowed to exist without comment or ridicule.” – Mary Kate Miller, http://www.ravishly.com/2017/01/24/getting-naked-my-friends-was-most-body-positive-experience-my-life

“The truth is, a man can choose to objectify a woman whether she’s wearing a bikini or a burqa.  We don’t stop lust by covering up the female form; we stop lust by teaching men to treat women as human beings worthy of respect.” - Rachel Held Evans, http://qideas.org/articles/modesty-i-dont-think-it-means-what-you-think-it-means/

“In essence, naturism is a lifestyle enjoyed without clothing.  But it can get a little more complex, as naturism means different things to different people.  There are some people who like to go nude 24/7, or as much as possible, whatever the weather.  Some like to be social, some are more solitary. . . For many naturists, going nude is accompanied by a greater attention to healthy living and being in harmony with the natural environment. . . being without clothing can be a liberating experience, and there is nothing harmful, shameful or embarrassing about the naked body.” - http://www.henaturist.net/naturism-frequently-asked-questions/
