“It doesn’t matter what size, what shape – you realize very quickly that we’re all the same … and that what we’re being fed in the media is not reality.” - Stuart Whelan, http://hijacked.com.au/whats-the-big-deal-with-nudists

“I post naked pictures of myself online knowing that some people (mainly men) will just look at me in a sexual way.  The reason I am not concerned is because I can’t prevent anyone from thinking sexual thoughts about me. . . I just have a problem when women (or others) suggest that covering up is a solution to ending sexual harassment, objectification or any sort of assault/violence against women. . . It all boils down to victim blaming and rape culture. . . Women are routinely blamed for being sexually harassed, assaulted and even raped. . . harassment happens regardless of a woman’s state of dress or undress. . . Anyone who blames women for getting sexually harassed, assaulted or raped, is perpetuating the rape culture in our society and refusing to acknowledge the real problems.” – Felicity, Tom Pine Newdesletter, 17 #1

“. . . what better way to celebrate a birthday than in your birthday suit? . . .

“The demand that we always wear clothing while in society causes at least four kinds of alienation: it alienates us from ourselves, from others, from nature, and from the Divine.” - http://outgoingnudist.tumblr.com/post/145151722287/benudetoday-reblog-if-you-likethe-demand-that-we

“I’ve been to resorts (more clothed than naked) that feel more like meat markets, the displaying of bodies outfitted in teeny weenie bathing suits in the hopes of finding a new partner, but nudism or clothing optional does not mean a sexual free-for-all.  Sexual intimacy still takes place behind closed doors.” – Julia Rosien, http://www.gogirlfriend.com/julias-musings/beginners-guide-clothing-optional-travel-30850
