“Human beings to us are as much a part of nature as trees or birds, and the unclothed body expresses this belongingness directly and powerfully.” - Be Nude Today
Do you agree with this? If yes, how does this manifest for you? If no, why do you think so? I look forward to hearing from you.
For me, it's a resounding yes. Since I've embraced naturism, a few years back now, I feel the urge to get naked when I'm surrounded by nature and I'm very uncomfortable not being able to do so. When naked, I not only feel better myself, I feel better connected to my inner self and to my surrounding. It allows me to experience the elements directly on my skin, without any barriers. This makes me feel more in tune with the surroundings and encourages a greater appreciation for the natural world.

I very much agree - when the weather's warm enough. I like to do my gardening naked when it's warm. A few times over the years I have found a quiet spot in the countryside to be naked, and although I've never been disturbed, it's hard to completely relax in that situation. That's why I love my naturist club so much. It's the one place other than my garden that I can be naked in nature and feel completely free and relaxed. It is very irritating to be in a natural environment, where being naked would be the most comfortable way to be, and feel unable to do so because of worrying about other people's reactions. I think non-naturists don't feel this way because wearing clothes feels normal - you only realise how irritating it is when you realise what you're missing 😀
