There is a freedom in being naked that few enjoy because we have been learned to be embarrassed.
Naked people usually look so happy. :)
Live Life Naked and follow your own path.
Making your own private sunbathing haven can be simple as stringing a clothesline and hanging some fabric.
Even in the cold weather, the body can tolerate outdoor sunbathing as long as some shelter can be found from the wind and the sun is shining brightly.
Vitamin D and the therapeutic effects of infrared light penetrating into your skin will provide you with a surefire cure to the winter “blahs”.
Accept Your Body.
You are perfect.
Love the skin your in because it does SO MUCH for you, thank it, love it, adore it.
You. Are. Wonderful.

Friends “hanging out” at a nude beach in California, 1970’s.
Why isn’t this the new norm in 2012? How can we advance as a society if we continue to be uptight and superstitious about our own bodies?
This young man had the enviable job of selling newspapers at the nude beach. Too bad he had to wear that heavy and uncomfortable uniform!
What do nudists do at the beach? Pretty much everything that any clothed person does at the beach, but they don’t have to wear a soggy swimsuit and it’s a lot more fun!
There’s no reason the clothed and the natural cannot co-exist, if each gives the other the proper respect.

Interesting article over at Blisstree, regarding the comparison of “plus size” models and the typical model:
[even] Plus-sized models are also a fairly unrealistic standard to go by: Not only are they perfectly proportioned in a way that most women (big or little) aren’t; they’re also airbrushed and styled to a point that makes their bodies just as removed from reality as thinner models in Vogue.
A standardized and idealized, but “plus sized” model is still not expressing the diversity and beauty around us in a way that the average person can identify with.
