“The driving force behind my desire to be nude with others is authenticity. It is an intentional letting go of who I think I'm supposed to be or others expectations of me and embracing who God made me to be. Being naked with others is vulnerable and it is much more difficult to hide. It develops my own self-awareness and practices intuitive empathy with others. Being naked with others cultivates the courage to be imperfect, exercising compassion that comes from knowing that we are all made from strength and struggle and from knowing that God made us all to be enough. Being naked is one way to invite grace, joy, and gratitude into my life.” —Sean, naturist-Christians.org“Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.” —John Donne
