“I was naked this morning because I realized I didn’t
want to feel like my nakedness was something I needed to hide. I wanted to not be ashamed to be as God made
me. And I felt like, as long as I was in
my room behind a closed door, I was. It
was like my body was a candle whose light I had covered with my hands. And now the heat and hot wax was burning my
fingers and palms. The candle was
telling me ‘Let my light shine.’” - https://timothyach.wordpress.com/2017/01/26/being-naked-outside/

“It is okay to have photos of naked women whom have
change their bodies through surgeries hanging up in public. It is totally okay to allow big companies to
encourage women to change their bodies.
It is totally okay to spam the Internet and magazines with photos of big
porn stars and top models whom have had their photos manipulated with, their
body changed through strict diets or extreme workouts. BUT: It is not okay to have women
breastfeeding in public? It is not okay
for a woman to take off her top on the beach – or in any other situation where
a man would do? It is not okay to just
have: A normal natural naked woman body?” - https://najayana.wordpress.com/2016/05/18/yes-this-is-my-female-body-no-i-am-not-ashamed/
“My main enjoyment is the freedom from clothes and the
relaxing feeling of not having their restrictions.” – NakedWalkers, https://www.truenudists.com/group/nude-parties/1/105180/3/
“. . . these two extremes represent different sides of
the same coin. While popular culture
tends to disempower women by telling them they must dress to get men to look at
them, the modesty culture tends to disempower women by telling them they must
dress to keep men from looking at them.
In both cases, the impetus is placed on the woman to accommodate her
clothing or her body to the (varied and culturally relative) expectations of
men. In both cases, it becomes the
woman’s job to manage the sexual desires of men, and thus it is seen as her fault
if a man ignores her on the one hand or objectifies her on the other. Often, these two cultures combine to send out
a pulse of confusing messages: ‘Look cute … but not too cute! Be modest … but not frumpy! Make yourself attractive … but not too
attractive!” Women are left feeling
ashamed of their bodies as they try desperately to contort around a bunch of
vague, ever-changing ideals. It’s
exhausting, really, dressing for other people.” - Rachel Held Evans, http://qideas.org/articles/modesty-i-dont-think-it-means-what-you-think-it-means/

“Regarding ‘Driving Naked,’ I drove the 33 miles from
home with just a tee shirt on. Route was
along interstate 81 then state and local roads passing through three small
villages. On the way back, I dispensed
with the tee shirt and had on only my hiking shoes. All told, I was able to be naked for about
6-1/2 hours between the driving and hiking.” – Cynoutdoors

“I sometimes did drive nude, and co-driving as well,
most of all at holiday trips. Very
comfortable and sensual, sometimes a bit thrilling. Usually I care to have something in reach to
cover up in case of need (police control etc.), but never had to make use of by
now.” – Pixy
“As much as our clothing can say a lot about us, I
often worry that my clothes aren’t saying what I wish they would. I’m not good with fashion. In some situation I feel anxiety and stress
about what I should wear, or the appropriateness of what I have on. Taking my clothes off can be like taking my
makeup off. Like refusing to play the
game of trying to look good to please other people. This is my body. This is how I look. Deal with it. I am happy with my body . . . I just don’t
understand what is so offensive about my body?
Just for being a body.” – Alexis Beckett, http://www.blog.bareoaks.ca/2014/11/my-experience-in-naturism-as-woman-and.html?m=1
“Women have an additional barrier to nudism . . . Many
women don’t know whether nudism in a group setting will be safe, when actually

“. . . we were in Mexico for a week and half. . . The
people we went to see own two villas side by side . . . They had most of our
last full day planned out, with the exception of about five hours in the middle
of the day. That was our cue to hike
back to our secluded beach one last time.
I got naked as soon as we cleared the spot in the jungle where we were
unlikely to be eaten alive by bugs. . . Most of the afternoon was spent
strolling naked, very leisurely, back and forth from end-to-end on the beach,
occasionally diving in to cool off. . . Just before writing this we received an
e-mail from our main friends from Mexico saying we should come back again
before they return to the states in May.
We may just wait until right before a forecasted blizzard and take them
up on that. We’ve cranked the heat up
and are spending the day naked so it feels like we’re still there – not even
close to the same but it’s fun acting like we are.” - Happy Hikers

“Naturists
take off their clothes for themselves and out of respect for others.” –
Kensunwalker
Freehiking shows respect for others who are hiking with you and are also free from clothes. Being nude with others is what naturism is about.
What have you done to be a naturist and show respect to others?

“I have driven nude from Norfolk Virginia to Asheville
NC. Also, from Central PA to
Jacksonville, FL about 16 hours. . . .
Nude all the way except for those gas/comfort stops. This summer I have been driving nude every time
I get in the car. It's just more
comfortable.” – Awesam, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=8077&idt=78072&page=2

“Naked does not always mean you’re weak. . . Having
the courage to make yourself vulnerable is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of a different kind of strength.
. . Daring to be naked means you dare to be yourself, to
be a real person who doesn’t want to be strong all the time. You are vulnerable. . . Naturists and nudists
. . . bare themselves. They make
themselves naked as well as nude. They
want to be vulnerable. Go into the
mountains where you encounter nothing but sharp rocks and take off your clothes
there. . . Getting caught in something you shouldn’t do makes you vulnerable,
even when you’re completely dressed. The
power of allowing yourself to be vulnerable, naked, is something different. . .
You say to the world, ‘Yes, this is me as I am.
Naked, unprotected.’ That kind of vulnerability should gather
respect. . . Be nude, dear friend. And
dare to be naked. It makes you more
complete as a human.” – Paul, https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/09/17/nude-or-naked/

“People are more open to jumping in a hot tube nude.”

We love our hot tub. Some of our friends appreciate naked soaking more than any other naturist-related activity. Every naturist should have a hot tub!
Do you find it easier to introduce naturism to others because of your hot tub?

“Being [naked is] an antidote and counters the media,

“Actually, about 20-some years ago I had a small
warehouse business and before it got big enough to have employees, other than
the UPS man every afternoon, nobody ever came through the door. It was strictly mail order and phone
ins. So on hot days and without air
conditioning, I would strip down and carry on business as usual. I wonder what my customers would have thought
if they knew I was taking their orders wearing nothing but a smile. Everyone is crazy in their own way – well,
except for me of course.” – Happy Hikers

“So, in what ways, exactly, does social
nudity reduce stress and thus promote better health? . . . it brings a
number of inherently stress-reducing practices, opportunities, and features. .
. One of the commonest sources of stress is loneliness and social isolation. By definition, social
nudity can take care of that. . . you have a ready-made network of like-minded
people to provide you with plenty of friendships and socializing opportunities.
. . chronic fear and anxiety are big stressors. . . social nudity can help
build self-confidence . . .For many people, unhappiness about the appearance of
their body is a big source of stress, and perhaps an obstacle to a happy social
life.” - https://naturistphilosopher.wordpress.com/2015/03/12/benefits-of-social-nudity-stress-reduction-general-health/

“It is wrong to me that the Church seems to imply
being naked is sinful; yet God communed with Adam and Eve when they were
naked. He covered them . . . because
they were feeling shame. It was not
because they were naked, but because of their shame and disobedience, and the
fact they wanted to hide from God.” – Trevor Humber, http://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2006/21-july/features/the-bare-necessities-why-christians-go-naked
“I have no problem with a nudist beach on the Fraser
Coast as long as it is not located on a joint ‘family’ orientated beach, is somewhat secluded, and is well
sign-posted with warnings as per it’s designated use. Each to their own I say...nudism can’t always
be associated with group, free or gay sexual activity, and perverts are sick
people who do not limit their comings and goings to just nude beaches so why
not move with the times and join the many other countries around the world whom
are much more liberal with their nudist beaches and tourism selections. . . I
know nudism can be a family activity . . . but I also believe that it is every
parent’s given right to choose what form and state of undress that their
child/children will be subjected to.
Hence, adequate signage and warning of a clothing optional beach equals
adequate freedom of choice in such matters.” – news-hound, http://www.frasercoastchronicle.com.au/news/beach-best-done-nude/2774541/

SCHOLZ LAKE FREEHIKE
7/15/2019 seven NNAZ members met at Parks AZ for a freehike along Scholz Lake. The weather was perfect - blue skies, puffy clouds, little breeze, temps in the low 80's. The views of the lake and surrounding mountains was 'never to be forgotten'. Wild flowers greeted us along the trail - very few flies. The feel of being naked with friends outdoors never ceases to amaze.
After a wonderful free hike, three of these naked friends ate lunch at the Parks General Store and Cafe.
The drive was a ways for us (nearly two hours), but it was definitely worth it. Besides, I got to carnude both ways with Amy. Wonderful memories!
Hopefully more members will join us for naked events in the future to create their own precious memories.
