Created Naked

“So many of us are primarily exposed to body types through the media that appear flawless. But take one step onto a nudist beach and you’ll realise how poorly that represents the actual population. The more diverse bodies that I see, the less I care about my own physical differences.” —Sofie Louise, The benefits of embracing a 'clothing optional' house

The philosophies of ethical, biblical naturism, when believed and practiced rightly, are in my opinion, the greatest antidote to the sex-crazed mentality. —Phillip Oak, Surprised into Freedom ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7T7WVGL? )

“Now, I’m not delusional. I’m aware that we’ve sexualized the human body to such an extent that it’s hard for many to see it in another light. But nudity and sex aren’t always linked, in fact, in most cases they aren’t. And it’s really nice to be around people who understand that.” —Spencer Jones

“In learning to become comfortable without clothing , you learn to separate nakedness from the idea of titillating sex. It’s important to learn that when people are undressed together it doesn’t mean sexual arousal is automatically triggered; and if there is arousal, it doesn’t mean you have to act on any sexual feelings. Group nudity works as a method of behavior modification.” —Barbara Roberts

“I’m a naturist at heart, I love being on beaches where everyone is naked. Ugly young people, beautiful old people, whatever. It’s so unsexual and so liberating…” Dame Helen Mirren.

“If only we are as upfront about our nakedness as God originally intended, we will dispel the dark lies of pornography and also come To appreciate our own unique, very real beauty “ —Jim Cunningham

“Nudity is the purest expression of the beauty which is visible, perfect and manifest work of God.”—Alexandre Najjar”

“There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body. In fact it is not only among artists but among all people that a greater appreciation and respect for the human body should develop. When we respect the nude we will no longer have any shame about it.” — Robert Henri, The Art Spirit

“Discovering naturism has given me the freedom to be myself, free from judgement & expectation, teaching me to love & embrace my body. Society gives us an unrealistic idea of what a beautiful body is. Naturism breaks us free of that. Everyone’s body is unique and beautiful!”—author unknown

“If only we saw our bodies as God sees our bodies, how very different our ideals of beauty would be…” —R.M. Olson

“I cannot hide how I feel about myself or my body. If I feel shame I will teach shame. If I feel love I will teach love. The choice is mine.” — ‪https://embodyproject.com/erica/‬

“For girls especially, there is so much pressure in our society to be a perfect size. As a result, there is a whole generation of people killing themselves to meet a standard that is impossible. Part of living a naturist lifestyle is accepting your body and regaining a normal body image.” —Nicky Hoffman

“Once you remove shame from your body, everything else comes off surprisingly easily.” —Anonymous

“Our clothes … are on us to expose us -- to advertise what we wear them to conceal. They are a sign; a sign of insincerity; a sign of suppressed vanity; a pretense that we desire gorgeous colors and the graces of harmony and form; and we put them on to propagate that lie and back it up.” — Mark Twain, Following the Equator

“Right from the beginning, clothing was man’s feeble attempt at self righteousness. It still is.”—BertlessOne, Naturist-Christians.org

“Accept your natural body. Go without clothing and understand that the body is a beautiful form and being comfortable with it is a statement about you emotionally.” ~Unknown

“When people sheathe their bodies to make certain details indiscernible, they’re making their bodies appear less human.” @walker_mud

“With humble nakedness, there is no rich and no poor, there is no genius or simpleton, no powerful king or vassal. All become amazingly similar. All become like God really sees every human; as someone created in His own image.”—Paul M. Bowman, Nakedness and the Bible

“The state of Nakedness increases and demonstrates humility and increases our openness towards our fellow man.” —Phillip Oak, Surprised into Freedom ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7T7WVGL? )

“Apparently it cannot be repeated to often the ideal of the nudist is not a “ return to nature,” in the sense of the wholesale scrapping of modern civilization; indeed it is not even an immediate sloughing of all its garments. It is merely the correcting or counteracting of some of civilization’s evils through the laying aside of clothes, not when the latter are useful, but when they are detrimental.” -Frances & Mason Merrill

“In terms of deep reverence, being naked allows us to feel more acutely the relationship with the breeze, the wind, the skies, the light and the dark ... the fullness of the natural world, and so encourages a richer, more genuinely felt interaction.” — Emma Restall Orr

“Many of us may be unaware that nudity is a normal condition that has prevailed throughout most of mankind’s existence.” —Aileen Goodson

“Why does one want to go naked? Good god, what an impertinent question! Why does one want to study a sunrise, listen to a thunderstorm, eat a vine-ripened tomato, smell the hair of someone he loves, or hug a dog?” —Bare in Mind, May, 1974

“There’s something joyous about [naturism] and I urge everyone to try it ... If you can’t get your kicks in that incredibly innocent, joyful way, then the world is not a good place.” -Kate Humble

Our bodies were created “very good”, not dirty or obscene, even in a “naked and unashamed” state.” -Phillip Oak, Surprised into Freedom ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7T7WVGL?

“While non-Christian and some Christian naturists may merely find naturism simply an enjoyable way to be (that's totally ok), I for one absolutely find a deeper meaning in it. I am made in the image of God, that God is good, declares me good (redeemed and renewed), and I relish opportunities to dwell before him and with him in naked unity and communion (for which we were designed). I only wish the depth of such I could effectively communicate to those who can't (or refuse) to understand. So much is in the experiencing.” —J. Ewing
