“This stigma is precisely why many naturists feel the need to keep their lifestyle private, sharing it only with a select group of like-minded individuals. But I believe that staying quiet only reinforces the idea that naturism is something to hide. The more we cloak our lifestyle in secrecy, the more we allow misconceptions to thrive. And let’s face it: society will never change if we wait for it to accept naturism without nudists standing up and explaining why this lifestyle is both healthy and liberating. “—Marc, Breaking the Silence: Overcoming the Stigma of Naturism in Everyday Life - Nude and Happy
“When approached with maturity and respect, nudity can offer society profound benefits. It promotes body positivity and self-acceptance, breaking down unrealistic beauty standards. Open nudity encourages honest conversations about bodies, health, and diversity, fostering a culture of empathy. It demystifies human anatomy, enhancing sexual education and reducing shame. —Colm, Chipping away at the norm, cloth by cloth. - Irish Naturist Association
“Consequently, conversations on nudity reflect what they are in real life and treat nakedness for what it is: a state of being.” —Kavya Racheeti, https://utdmercury.com/films-should-respect-naked-bodies-not-stigmatize-them/
