“Clothing is our second skin. It . . . can reflect our innermost being or
conceal it. Through one’s clothing, he
or she is able to exhibit his or her profession, social status, or mood. A suit lets us assume the bearer is a banker,
office worker, insurance agent. In our
society this is a distinguishing characteristic of respectability. But, how often is such an assumption
true? Can we absolutely trust this
covering? What really is
underneath? Could the illusion be
destroyed at the discovery of a tattoo, or leave the person as inscrutable as
before? Here we have the opportunity to
see the differences in perception between a person dressed and undressed.” - http://www.naked-people.de/people/
“If the Fall intrinsically distorted how humans
perceive nakedness, cultural history would demonstrate this change
universally. It doesn’t. Modern responses to nudity, in the context of
art, healthcare, or cross-cultural experience, also fail to substantiate this
popular religious doctrine. In such
cases, the absence of automatic sexual arousal at the sight of the nude body
disproves the inevitable lust predicted by this teaching. Actually, these ordinary naked situations
affirm the original goodness God saw in bare bodies. They prove that body shame is culturally
learned, not humanly inherited. If it
was inborn, all descendants of Adam would naturally have it. Since they don’t, this doctrine must be
false.” - Pastor Ed, http://mychainsaregone.org/truth-the-only-exit/#sthash.VQCDQc0Y.yMcyDlYn.dpbs
“I have always been interested in naturism, but never
had the nerve to try it, but when alone in the house I started going naked. I felt a bit guilty but enjoyed it. Slowly I started going in the garden, first
for a quick taste and then slowly enjoying the time outside. This slowly progressed to doing jobs outside
naked, which I really enjoyed. Then when
going on holiday abroad I saw a naturist beach . . . just had to go back
without clothes. It was very nice to be
so free, without any inhabitians. . . I now regularly go to naturist beaches
and have even convinced my wife who also comes and enjoys it. We are now looking to join a naturist club.”

“There are also plenty of opportunities for peak
experiences associated with being naked. . . The experience may be as simple as
one’s first great naked adventure with friends at a clothing-optional beach, or
a first-time modeling nude for artists or photographers. However, it may be something more dramatic
like a fun-filled nude Caribbean cruise, being part of a Spencer Tunick
‘installation’ in a big city, or being a nude canvas for body-painting in Times
Square.” - http://ldsnaturism.blogspot.com/p/advantages.html
