The Museum of Photography in Berlin has just opened an exhibition of nude photos from the turn of the last century.
"The Naked Truth and More Besides Nude Photography around 1900" brings together hundreds of nude photos from an era we normally associate with old-fashioned prudery. In fact, nude photos were incredibly popular at that time. They had existed since the earliest days of the ...

Aug 3rd, 2012 at 11:00AM: In tough economic times, some hotels and resorts are ready to try just about anything to revive their sagging fortunes. On May 1, The Fawlty Towers Motel in Cocoa Beach rebranded itself as a "clothing-optional resort" in a bid to revive its sagging fortunes, and according to David Broad, 54, a Welsh national who manages the resort, business is picking up.
But not everyone in Cocoa Beach is ...

Apr 17th, 2012 at 3:00PM: Cefn Sidan beach in Pembrey, Wales, is the latest flashpoint in an ongoing controversy over nudists in the UK.
The local government says it has received numerous complaints about bathers baring all at the eight-mile-long beach. The spot is a favorite for families and attracts more than a million visitors a year, most of who wear bathing suits. There have been complaints about nudists ...

Nov 18th, 2011 at 3:00PM: Last year we reported on a major victory for nudist hiking in Switzerland. A hiker in the conservative Swiss canton of Appenzell got fined for baring all, appealed, and won.
Now that victory has turned into defeat. The BBC reports that Switzerland's highest court has ruled that local authorities can fine people for hiking in the buff. Naked hiking isn't illegal per se, but but public indecency ...

Aug 25th, 2011 at 12:30PM: Nudist activist Steven Gough has been given 657 days in a Scottish prison only a minute after finishing his previous sentence.
The BBC reports that the naked hiker has served numerous terms in jail for public nudity and appearing in court nude. He insists it's his right to bare all wherever and whenever he wants. His refusal to wear clothes has led to an epic fight with the legal system in ...

Oct 17th, 2010 at 2:00PM: There are only 22 spaces available for a unique eWaterways cruise. The best part of the fun offering from his London tour operator is that you won't have to pack much: the catch is that its central theme is nudity. Hope you get a ticket with 21 other hotties, and dash off for seven days of feeling the sun and breeze against your entire body. As you explore the Croatian coastline, make some time to ...

The Hawaiian islands are known far and wide for the quality of their beaches. From narrow strips of volcanic black sand with dramatic jungle backdrops, to crowded beaches full of the who's who of the world, Hawaii has a beach for everyone. Maui has just as much diversity as the entire island chain with over 30 miles of beaches. The most easily accessible beaches are located on the west and ...

May 29th, 2010 at 12:30PM: All he wanted to do was hike naked.
The 46 year-old man headed out, sans habillement, through the Swiss canton of Appenzell Inner-Rhodes to enjoy the scenery. He passed by a public barbecue area, keeping a safe distance so as not to get his wiener cooked, and near a Christian retirement home. Somebody complained, he got fined, and he went to court, this time wearing clothes.
Appenzell is ...

Sep 24th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Apparently, nudity is big in Germany. The German Nudist Association organizes outings for naturalists to nude beaches and campgrounds and now, there's even a special path for naked hikers. Yeah, I said naked hikers.
The 11-mile long trail will run from Dankerode to the Wippertal dam and officially opens in May. The trail will be marked with signs warning hikers that nudists are in the area. "If ...

Jul 2nd, 2009 at 12:00PM: Keith Wright, a New Yorker (damn!) felt restricted by more than just cramped airline seating today. On a flight from Charlotte to Los Angeles, he ditched his clothing and did not respond (vocally, at least) to flight attendant requests to put them back on. The mile-high nudist also wouldn't accept the cover of a blanket.
As a result of Wright's defiance, the US Airways flight was diverted to ...

Mar 31st, 2009 at 12:00PM: Lost your shirt in the market? Thankfully, some destinations will provide service absent one. You won't need shoes ... or pants ... either. Nude tourism is on the rise according to some estimates, and the industry is pegged at $400 million annually. Ready to throw your vacation fund into the mix? Packing, apparently, is easy. Maybe you'll need some sandals or bring a book, and sun block is ...

I can't remember the precise destination we were working, but what I do remember was the shocked look on my coworkers face when he came running up to the first class galley and exclaimed, "There's a naked woman in coach!"
"What!" two of us cried in unison.
Needless to say, the breakfast service was now on hold. How could we serve bagels when there was a nekkid lady aboard the flight? Into ...

Jul 19th, 2008 at 1:30PM: It seems that we have been averaging about one crazy passenger a week lately. And those are just the ones who make it into the press! You typically read about the in-flight drunkards, angry folks, and people with out-of-control children. But I can't remember the last time we had a 'misbehaving nudist' story. The AP reports that an American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles was diverted to ...

Nov 16th, 2007 at 11:30AM: My first real experience of a "nudist" anything, was last year when I went to the Balearic Island of Formentera. It all began when our host picked us up from the port butt-naked. We had never met him before, but for him to stand there naked and welcome us onto the island was as normal as having coffee for breakfast. I was momentarily scandalized, but it didn't take me long to laugh about it. ...
