“It's a wonderful sense of freedom.  If you swim without a costume, you won't swim with one again.“ - Peter Wright, http://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/naturist-defends-nudists-spotted-walking-on-lincolnshire-beaches/story-30374637-detail/story.html?utm_content=buffer669c1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

“. . . there’s something more insidious going on.  It’s not just that we, as a society, as producers and consumers of media, and as networks of individuals, are shaming those bodies which are not perfectly toned and fabulously styled: we are waging war on ALL bodies.  We are attempting to erase the body (the sensuous, moving, functioning, glorious body) from existence. . . [when people] make jokes and implicitly denigrate nude beaches and naturism – which, by the way, they (like the rest of the public) are in no way obligated to participate in or attend – it is symptomatic of a culture that has reduced the natural body . . . to an object of disgust.” - https://lucialorenzi.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/laying-it-bare-nude-beaches-broadcasters-and-body-shaming/

“Growing numbers of people getting the urge to strip naked and walk around in only their birthday suit . . . Throwing off the shackles of society by striding around with the sun on your bare skin is a primeval sensation which up to four million people enjoy - or wish they could . . . But it most definitely is not a passion shared by all, meaning there is plenty of room for serious misunderstandings between nudists and non-nudists. . . So a legitimate nudist runs the risk of being caught with their pants down and facing the prospect of explaining their hobby to a judge.” - Andrew Welch, http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/uk-nudism-naturism-rules-etiquette-490511#.UeRMGvQM2wk.wordpress

“It’s not considered a sin to be seen by your doctor without clothes.  It’s not considered a sin to be seen by your nurse without clothes. . . It’s not considered a sin to see a baby naked.  It’s not considered a sin for young siblings to see each other naked.  It’s not considered a sin for parents to see their children naked.  It’s not considered a sin for young children to see their parents naked, for example at bath time, etc.  It’s not considered a sin for adults to see their aging parents naked when necessary for personal hygiene reasons.  So if it’s okay to see our children naked and our parents naked then could someone give me specific dates and age ranges when it’s not okay, or is the body just that, a body and not something to be ashamed of?” - https://www.truenudists.com/members/blogs/
