“Bombarded by images of social-media perfection, I’ve often felt inadequate, but a nudist festival like nowhere else offers an antidote to that pressure to look good, a reminder of the power of the human body in all its forms.” —Antonia Hoyle, ANTONIA HOYLE: How Nudefest made me feel comfortable in my own skin
“When people actually try naturism who have poor body image, their body confidence increases hugely and their mental health also improves. We are so conditioned to seeing perfect Photoshopped models in magazine adverts which no one can measure up to. When people see real naked bodies of all shapes and sizes, they realise that we are all imperfectly beautiful.” —Gary & Noreen Kennedy, https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/features/naturism-ni-when-people-see-real-naked-bodies-of-all-shapes-and-sizes-they-realise-that-we-are-all-imperfectly-beautiful/a1801715998.html
