“Nudism, also called naturism, is more than the simple act of being naked; it is also about the act of being closer to nature.  In its natural state, there are no boundaries between you and the natural world.  How liberating and exciting would it be to be naked on the beach, or under a tree, join the natural world and feel comfortable in your own skin?  People choose naturism to reach this particular height of happiness.” - http://osnaturistas.com/noticias/como-tornar-se-um-naturista/

“Misconception: Nudism is sexually stimulating.  Many people, when they try nudism, find themselves surprised at the lack of sexual arousal they experience. . . At naturist resorts and events, participants find so many other activities to do and sights to see that arousal is the last thought to come to mind.  Many nudists even forget that they, and the other people, are nude.  People in a naturist setting actually find that they are less likely to be aroused there than at a beach or pool where people wear bathing suits, for bathing suits actually draw attention to the body parts they are supposed to hide.” – David Hopkins, http://listverse.com/2011/02/23/top-10-misconceptions-about-nudism/?platform=hootsuite

“It seems every special interest group has land set aside for their use except for topless sunbathers.  You have tens of thousands of city, county and state beaches, yet less than 50 allow legal topless or nude sunbathing.  Cities and counties subsidize golf courses, tennis courts, hiking, biking and horse trails.  There are city baseball, basketball, football and soccer fields.  Some cities even own ice skating, bowling, and skate board parks and arenas.” - http://www.naturisttravel.net/reviews_view.asp?t=+Over+the+top&id=1047&cid=2&scid=120

“I don’t want my kids to grow up afraid of their bodies . . . I don’t want them to think of their body as something that is shameful or needs unnecessary protecting. . . being naked...is freeing and awesome. . . [I] respect and understand the appeal of returning your body to its nude natural liberated state. . . It’s also important to talk about our family’s notions of nudity while acknowledging that not everyone does what we do and that that’s okay too.” - Mayim Bialik, Big Bang Theory, http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/07/15/mayim-bialik-nudity-is-freeing-and-awesome.html?platform=hootsuite
