Created Naked

“There's nothing better than strolling down the beach the way God made you." —Bruce Willis “[When] one is nude, your senses are heightened ... You become open to the universe, not only physically, but emotionally, unprotected, unmasked. It may be symbolic of allowing the Divine and the World to see you as you really are.” —Alkemie Jane “Demystifying or desexualising doesn’t happen by hiding things...

“The freedom that comes from exposing yourself, you’ll find you end up connecting soul to soul and not body to body, because that stripping bare brings you down to who you are inside” — Dee, minute 17:36-17:43, https://youtu.be/K6FrJP7zFYU?si=GrD9mvUmMnTNUCuv “Don’t let those who have body negative values define what is and what is not acceptable. Seize your freedom and restore your dignity!” – de...

“When I free my body from its clothes, from all their buttons, belts, and laces, it seems to me that my soul takes a deeper, freer breath.” – August Strindberg, playwright, 1849-1912 “Sweet, sane, still Nakedness in Nature! –ah if poor, sick, prurient humanity in cities might really know you once more! Is not nakedness then indecent? No, not inherently. It is your thought, your sophistication, you...

“When you’re nude, it doesn’t matter where you come from and it doesn’t matter what job you have or how much money you make,” she says. “The act of just stripping off and scrubbing – it’s like a universal relaxation.” — Mocca Masuoka. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/dec/28/japanese-nude-public-baths-melbourne-ofuroya-collingwood-hiromi-masuoka “If you feel shameful of your body or...

“I believe people are conditioned to the textile world- again clothes. The problem is social media is teaching us to be sexy. Right? I mean duck lips, and women are plumping up their breasts, and jeans with fake tushies in them. And you know just altering our bodies to what we are supposed to believe that is beautiful. We all have funny bodies. We all have lumps and bumps, stretch marks and beauti...

“The human body is not essentially nasty. I mean, God made us without clothes. And you look at that famous statue of David that's considered one of the masterpieces of the Renaissance…The body is not essentially pornographic, and I think to make it so is a mistake. It's what's in your mind.” —Pat Robertson, The 700 Club “Oddly enough, when you realize that you actually do have permission before Go...

“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 “Nudity is not and does not have to be inherently sexual. To expose our fle...

“Right from the beginning, clothing was man’s feeble attempt at self righteousness. It still is.”—BertlessOne, Naturist-Christians.org “[T]o undress is to expose our story. When someone has the courage to stand truly naked before us, the courage to share that story, something deep within us has the potential to be unveiled too.” —Maria Ede-Weaving (quoted by Philip Carr-Gomm) “Naturism allows peop...

“Clothing has been put on us from the day we were born, and we were trained to wear it at a pre-rational, purely emotional stage in life. It was never questioned; we never ask *whether* we are going to wear clothes, but only what clothes we are going to wear. This lesson was instilled in us with dogmatic vehemence by our parents, who reacted with horror and embarrassment if we didn't follow the ru...

“What would happen if we accepted our bodies the same way we accepted everything else? What would happen if we stopped covering up and started stripping down? What would happen if we all just let our bodies hang out in the open and didn’t hide them in dark worlds of porn, indecency and fetishes?” —Lauren Martin, https://www.elitedaily.com/life/scientific-reasons-just-always-naked/971796 “When appr...

“There are also many important grounds of health in favour of nudity in suitable circumstances, such as out-of-doors in sunny weather. Sunshine on the bare skin has an exceedingly health-giving effect. Moreover anyone who has watched children running about in the open-air without their clothes must have been struck by the fact that they hold themselves much better and move more freely and more gra...

“I think it is important for everyone to be exposed to natural and normal bodies.” —Camille Brandon, Photographer 'Personally, I believe that human bodies are beautiful and the more we can do to normalise and de-politicize nude bodies of all types, the better we will all be for it,' — (Adelaide) Waldrop.—https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a45971672/frull-frontal-nudity-in-film/ “Acco...

“Demystifying or desexualising doesn’t happen by hiding things away, it happens by bringing things into the light. We are called to be free, not to cling to the falsehoods that tie us to this twisted world.” —Martin Cliffe, Naturist-Christians Facebook post “That nudity=sex is an axiom in our culture; no need for me to elaborate here. Christians who uphold the sanctity of marriage are horrified by...

“According to Manning, it’s our clothing that creates our insecurities and inability to accept and love each other the way we should. We put materialistic value on the human form and it’s created mental illness along with body dismorphia and an undesirable environment for humans to live and communicate within.”—Lauren Martin, https://www.elitedaily.com/life/scientific-reasons-just-always-naked/971...

“A girl in the Pacific islands wearing hardly any clothes and a Victorian lady completely covered in clothes might both be equally 'modest,' proper, or decent… and both, for all we could tell by their dress, might be equally chaste (or equally unchaste).” — C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity “Still, it is clear that many people perceive an association between nudity and overt sexuality. From the standp...

“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 “Seeing other naked bodies, though, did not make...

“Naturism allows people to make peace with their bodies as-is, without all the unrealistic ideals and judgments our society otherwise places on them. As we expose our bare selves, we expose the flaws in how we’ve been taught to see nudity as well. We begin to shed the irrational shame that has weighed on us for so long.” —Marc, https://www.nudeandhappy.com/2023/10/05/the-nudity-we-were-born-with/...

Wearing nothing is divine, Naked is a state of mind, I take things off to clear my head, To say the things I haven't said, Live inside the elements, The earth and sky are my best friends, Water is the evidence, That washes me from end to end, —Luscious Jackson, Naked Eye As I sit in naures embrace, The warmth of the sun upon my face, It speaks to me through wind and breeze, It's guiding power for...

“Naturism involves accepting and embracing our bodies for all their flaws and fortitude while connecting with other humans in a very real and authentic way. It’s literally shedding the walls that divide us from the natural world as we were born to experience it.” ~RMNC Member https://x.com/rmnaturist/status/1549767105377013760?s=46&t=fpiEy5CqbBOXR1N66BxSTw “Discovering naturism has given me the fr...

“It’s the invention of clothes, not nature, that made “private parts” private.” -Mokokoma Mokhonoana “Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean. And when the unclean shall be no more, what were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?” —Kahlil Gibran “Nudism, in my mind, is sort of like the ultimate display of vulnerability between people. It is, as has been not...

“Human beings to me are as much a part of nature as trees or birds, and the unclothed body expresses this belongingness directly and powerfully.” Wynn Bullock “What a singular fact for an angel visitant to this earth to carry back in his note-book, that men were forbidden to expose their bodies under the severest penalties!” Henry David Thoreau, Journals “The freest people I know are those who hav...

“Many of us may be unaware that nudity is a normal condition that has prevailed throughout most of mankind’s existence.” —Aileen Goodson “The naked body is the normal base state of a human being and that clothing is put on to fit the needs of a person at a given time”— A Nudistory, this Naturist Catalog Shocked an Industry https://youtu.be/p_znATRhZiA?si=mjq9pQbatWgW2NJ- “People without clothes ar...

“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, Naturism And Christianity Are They Compatible “Christians ha...

“To be naked is more than merely to be without clothes. To be naked is to be at ground zero in a moral and a political struggle.” —Philippa Levine, The naked and the nude: Undressing the false dichotomy “Naturism allows people to make peace with their bodies as-is, without all the unrealistic ideals and judgments our society otherwise places on them. As we expose our bare selves, we expose the fla...

“What the nudist does believe is that the artificial conditions of our machine age have robbed man of light and air that are not only valuable but essential to his physical well-being.” -Frances & Mason Merrill “My favorite thing is to be naked, which is why I always live in remote areas. My ideal is to wake in the morning and run around the meadows naked. I think it’s a good idea to live in harmo...
