“Nudism, or naturism, refers to a mindset that rejects
the need for clothes in day to day life. . . Nudism is a philosophy that
encourages you to embrace your body and to learn more about what it can do; it
should not be a philosophy that limits you.” - Jordan Blum, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/the-benefits-of-social-nudism-and-nude-recreation/
“The phrase ‘all bodies are beautiful’ is the truth,
and naturism teaches that. What I would
have mocked before, I now accept, and even celebrate. I’m definitely less judgmental and
critical. It doesn’t mean I don’t value
health and fitness. I do. But I can now see
beauty, confidence, and elegance in all.” - https://naturistthoughts.wordpress.com/2016/09/24/naturism-teaches/
“And today, we credit God for the creation of
clothing. We proscribe nakedness as
offensive to God and godly people. We
vilify women as evil responsible for the downfall of man and the loss of the
Garden of Eden, Paradise. We build
religions around the godly [male] beliefs that man must be protected from their
sexuality, a sexuality that is lit on fire with the mere image of a woman. And we dare to call the perversions of our
religions as Holy Gospel, the Word of God. Nice sleight of hand to call black,
white.” - https://skycladtherapist.wordpress.com/2015/01/20/perversion-is-the-audacity-to-call-nakedness-evil/
“The desert taught me to be naked the fall I was 18,
stepping nervously out of my shorts and sports bra on the tamarisk-choked banks
of the San Juan. Above us, Mexican Hat
rose tilted and precarious, looking less like a sombrero than a red cartoon
anvil set to drop. . . in the desert, there was no one around to judge my body
when I slipped off my shorts . . . Perhaps it didn’t take bravery to go
unclothed. . . the revolution in that water was not that others saw my
nakedness, but that I could let myself be.” – Katherine E. Standefer, http://www.hcn.org/issues/49.2/naked-in-the-desert?platform=hootsuite
“One of the clearest messages one gets from looking at
images of people participating in the ride is that they are all enjoying
themselves immensely, as are the public . . . the fallacy that nudity might be
either shocking or dangerous, in any form, whether to adults or to children, in
public, to young or old, or in any context. . . The naked woman cycling happily
beside the clothed woman along the protest route together; the fully uniformed
police officers cycling happily and peacefully within the group of naked
riders. These are gorgeous little vignettes
of tolerance and co-operation within a mass protest.” – Richard Foley, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/498/a-clear-message-from-the-wnbr/
