“We shouldn’t have to be restricted to designated areas and zones for the simple fact of being unclothed.  It is a violation to human rights to take away a simple innocent freedom.  The public need to understand that naturism is simply innocent, natural living and freedom.  We need our equal rights.” - https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/183262

“The nakedness only felt strange for a few minutes.  After that, the nervous chatter took over, and we were all gossiping, cracking jokes, giggling and taking the mickey out of each other.  The atmosphere was electric.  It felt like we were about to do something monumental.  Like we could do anything. . . There was magic in the air though.  In the simple act of undressing, several layers of meaning settled upon me and my tribe.  Before I tell you what it was, let me tell you what it was not.  It was not sexual.  There were no random erections.  It was about as sexy as taking your Mum to meet your work colleagues.  Yes, I know this goes against lots of people's expectations and even some people's hopes . . . Sorry to disappoint, but it was not sexy at all.” - http://mrsbeesemporium.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/is-my-body-too-bluetylicious-for-you.html?m=1

“It really blows my mind that a naked body can be so offensive and that society has deemed any nudity to automatically sexual no matter what.” – Eric, http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2017/01/19/naturist-talks-eric-canada/

“For me, nudity in performance of any kind is all about context.  It’s very obvious when nudity is gratuitously included. . . when appropriately used, however, it can create a sense of vulnerability and intimacy for the audience and performers alike.” – Steven Heathcoat, A Brief History of Nakedness, 2013, p. 205

“When I got to the Wekiva I started trolling.  There were other fishers there so I kept covered till I got away from them. . . I got to the spot I was headed to and fished there for a while with no luck, but the whole time I was able to be nude.” – Nudefisher, https://www.truenudists.com/members/blogs/
