Random thoughts on naturism and our right to be ourselves. Hopefully these posts will contribute a little to normalising nudity everywhere. Stay free, Liam Beattie. 🍻
Robert Brown: To change people's opinion and improve the perception of naturism, we need to have more events like this so it becomes the norm and acceptable.

Daniel Johnson: Clothing should be optional in public, the same way that wearing a hat or sunglasses is optional. The human body is not inherently obscene.

Hans Bender: Free yourself from the rigid conduct of tradition and open yourself to the new forms of probability.

William Blake: Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.

Richard Opperman: Naturism is becoming more and more popular across the world. Way more people do it than you’d think, but some are a little shy about admitting that. To anybody sceptical, I’d say just try it out before you make your mind up.

Josie Alford: One thing you learn at any naturism event is there are all sorts of bodies and everyone is comfortable. If they can be comfortable with their bodies, then you can be comfortable with yours too.

Marisa Collins: Locker rooms once normalised the human body effortlessly, without fanfare. Expanding that acceptance to public realms would heal our collective shame, proving nudity's innocence and power to build quiet confidence.

Felicity Jones: There’s nothing crude about the human body. What’s crude is the way society has taught us to be ashamed of it.

Bonnie Brown: Clothes are the first lie we tell the world. Ditch them in a non-judgemental space, and suddenly you're not hiding anymore. You're simply, gloriously present, as nature wired you to be.

Andrew Welch: Social nudity strips away the superficial layers we use to separate ourselves from one another. What’s left is pure human connection - open, honest and remarkably kind.
November 21, 2025 at 2:42 PM
Carolyn Hawkins: I’m far more confident naked than clothed. Clothes let you hide. Nudity demands that you own who you are, and once you do, the confidence stays with you even when you dress again.

Keon West: Individuals do experience increases in positive body-image, self-esteem and life satisfaction after participating in real naturist activities.

Paul Rapoport: Naturism gives you permission to be exactly who you are without apology. The moment the clothes come off, the pretending stops and you meet the real you. And everyone else sees the real you too.

The popularity - nay, the existence - of these things baffles me, but for those who enjoy them:

Nicky Hoffman: The path to body acceptance is quickly accomplished - and is fun. Since nudity is our natural state, so is body acceptance our natural state.

Isis Phoenix: Naked yoga will outlive spandex. The body remembers what the mind forgets: we were born bare.
November 17, 2025 at 2:14 AM
Anonymous: Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologise for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind.

Emma Richards: WNBR is pure freedom. Riding naked with everyone cheering, it’s empowering and makes you feel alive in a way nothing else does.
November 12, 2025 at 4:02 AM
Ella Kopelman (on WNBR events): For the first time, I felt like a normal human being with a body like everyone else’s. Being naked somehow felt like a superpower.
November 10, 2025 at 11:15 AM
Mary Jane Saunders: Shame about our bodies is a taught behaviour, not an inherent truth. Naturism teaches us to unlearn it through the simple act of being ourselves, uncovered.

Patti Smith:

I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union,
We can turn the world around,
We can turn the earth's revolution.
We have the power,
People have the power.

Siân Rees: I’ve never felt more confident than walking naked through a public park with other naturists. You own your space, your skin, your truth.
November 10, 2025 at 3:28 AM
August Strindberg: 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.
November 10, 2025 at 3:25 AM
Liz & James Egger: Naturists don’t go naked to be seen. They go naked to feel the world directly.
November 9, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Sylvia Vaught: People ask if I’m scared to be naked in public. I tell them I was scared the first time. The second time, I was free. The third time, I forgot clothes were even an option.
