“In truth there is absolutely nothing to shop for that can improve our appearance, because anything we might buy is not us, but merely something hung or gooped on us.” -Jim Cunningham “What we try to de-emphasize by pretending to ignore, we actually focus on by avoidance. If our intention is to focus attention away from the genitals and our sexuality, then we are achieving exactly the opposite by demanding they be covered up and denounced.” —Dennis Craig Smith, Naked Fear “Where artificial modes...

“Body image and the shame for it is a time honored way to sell all sorts of products. It's insane, but it's hard to break. When you do break free, it's like a ton of chains have fallen off your shoulders.” —Name Withheld “Conversely, getting naked was the thing that made me realize I am more than a sum of my parts and that no one will ever put me under the micro-scope I’d applied to myself.”—Amy Nickell “No one – not one single person in the whole world!- should ever look in the mirror and think...

“The existence in so many places, of the tendency toward nudity is not a testimony to the fallenness of man. It is rather a testimony of the original condition of man ... The inner desire to be naked and unashamed is a longing to get back to our original perfection.”— Philo Thelos “A Creator-honoring, incarnational view of the naked human body dispels the fantasy-laden, porno-prudish conception religiously taught and pornographically exploited in Western culture.” David Hatton “You, reader, were...

“In a democracy it is necessary that people should learn to endure having their sentiments outraged …”– Lord Bertrand Russell “For someone to tell me – especially the government – that I have to wear clothes, they’re telling me that I have to be ashamed of myself. Government is mandating that people shame themselves.” —Dan Speers “To be offended by the visual appearance of another person is prejudice, akin to racism. The right to exist, uncovered, should hold precedence over the right not to vie...

“To some, the freedom to be naked if you want may seem a frivolous issue to explore in any depth during our perilous times. But these are rarified times times as well, a time when all things are coming to light.” —Stuart Ward We say ‘nakedness is natural’, but have we begun to think through all that means? It is so basic. A human being is an innocent part of nature. Our civilization has distorted this universal quality that allows us to feel at home in our skin. Other animals have coats that the...

“When people teach that the human body is dirty or obscene, it creates fertile ground for pornography. That is why pen addiction is so strong in our society, even among Christians. Our culture is inundated with a sexualized view of the body. I’m sorry to say that the church has been a key player in spreading that idea.” “As long as Christians devalue the body’s true worth , they are maligning God’s image, no matter how often they praise it as ‘fearfully and wonderfully made.’” —David L. Hatton. ...

“Because naturists don’t think of sex when they undress, because naturists don’t think of sex when they are engaged in wholesome family activities. Because naturist don’t grab a towel for cover, after taking a shower in fear of having others view them in a sex obsessed manner? Who are the perverts then?”, Author Unknown. “Complete nudity in itself is not erotic. It becomes so only when preceded by or contrasted to a state of dress. In this limited context then, all cloths become somewhat immoral...

“Being natural and matter-of-fact about nudity prevents your children from developing an attitude of shame or disgust about the human body. If parents are very secretive about their bodies and go to great lengths to prevent their children from seeing a buttock or breast, children will wonder what is so unusual, and even alarming, about human nudity”, Dr. Lee Salk. “Why would anyone want to teach their children their bodies are disgusting, unacceptable and offensive to even look at? Why would any...

In his amicus brief the the United States Supreme Court, Robert T. Page succinctly states the goal we have at Created Naked. “We want to re-emphasize the healing power of nudity, in a culture that is torn between body-denying Puritanism on the one hand and body-exploiting pornography on the other. Body acceptance—as appropriately practiced nudism is the middle way. It is not extremism.”
