Children are not born with any shame about nudity. They learn it. What do you teach your kids? Pride or Shame? #WednesdayWisdom

Children who grow up in a naturist environment witness the natural body changes brought on by adolescence, pregnancy, & aging. They have far less anxiety about these natural processes than those who are never exposed. #SideEffectsOfNaturism

A single visit to a nudist park or a nude beach will NOT cause permanent harm to anyone. On the other hand, it may change your life.

Nudity is not, by itself, erotic & is not inherently sexual. Sexuality is a matter of intent rather than state of dress.

Children respond far more to parents’ attitudes toward nudity than to the nudity itself. It's only a problem when it's treated as one.

One feels much more a part of a natural setting in the nude than clothed. Clothing cuts us off from the natural world, by inhibiting the skin’s ability to sense the environment. #SideEffectsOfClothes
