“Naturism is clearly very different from the nudity portrayed in magazines, newspapers, video and television. It is not for titillation. Mass nudity is far from erotic. Uncovered genitalia do not lead to an inability to control sexual urges. Nor does clothing prevent rape or assault, or hinder amorous advances.”—Karen Gorham & Dave Leal

“Social nudism/naturism is a transformational and healthy way to live. It involves accepting one’s own and others’ bodies, embracing nature without the influence of clothing, and celebrating one’s connection with the environment in a remarkable and unique way.” —William J.
