QUOTES 2/9/2020

“Our first [nude] beach together was whist on holiday in Spain. . . We were on holiday with friends . . . What felt immediately natural . . . was to strip off and enjoy the sun, breeze and water over our bodies, and the acceptance of other naturists and hence of our own imperfect bodies.” – pp&d, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=20257.0;topicseen

“This was my second year [in Portland’s naked bike ride], and I think I'm going to do this every year for as long as I can ride a bike.  And then I'll do it in a wheelchair.  Very life-affirming.” – Brian M

“. . . has it ever occurred to you that maybe not everything other people do is for your personal gratification?  So you don’t personally get off on that person’s specific body type?  Maybe their body isn’t exclusively for your gaze. . . There’s a distinct whiff of good old-fashioned body-shaming about our culture’s attitude to nudism.” – Emma Sloley, https://catapult.co/stories/nudists-volleyball#

“I have a mini-kilt I wear as a wrap.  It just covers my bum.  Last week I wore it to a Tapas evening in Spain. . . All the attention was from women.  It was clear that I was wearing nothing under it but one lady did ask.” – Ollygrumps, https://www.truenudists.com/group/kilt-loving-nudists/1/101068/

“Then there are seven members of the Sydney Dance Company, all naked and milling about with the paying public. . . At first people seemed embarrassed by so much nudity so close.  Even when the dancers were performing in scattered solos, people were averting their eyes, walking past and focusing on the ‘dead’ nudes on the walls and plinths.  Then they got used to it.  About halfway through, in a stroke of brilliance, the dancers sought out audience members and led them by hand or arm to a central room where we all formed a circle to watch an ensemble vignette.  The ice was broken.  It was a theatrically moving moment, a real coming together of performers and audience that generated a feeling of mutual trust.  After that, the live nudes took over from the ‘dead’.” - Jill Sykes, http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/dance/nude-live-review-human-bodies-in-graceful-action-20170109-gto2ww.html
