Quotes

“ Laws against public nuditystem from people's unease with the human body. It makes people uneasy that others are comfortable enough to be naked in public, when they are not. ”

Katie Mann (from an article in Going Natural, Vol. 17, Number 2)

“ The best thing to do would be to designate everywhere as clothing optional, and we could leave little fenced in areas for the prudesto prance around in. Call them "Prudist Camps". They could peer out of their fences and indulge in their offensive "I'm offended" behaviour whenever they saw a natural person walk by, without bothering the rest of us. ”
