Clothing acts as a social shield, a status symbol, and a tool for deception. We use it to hide what we dislike and accentuate what society deems attractive. When you remove clothing, you remove these artificial constructs. 1. Breaking the Mirror of Perfection

Naturism is the literal embodiment of this slogan. On a nude beach or at a naturist resort, the "beach body" is whatever body happens to be on the beach.
