BOOK DESCRIPTION
In 1929, a small group of men and women threw off their clothes and began to exercise in a New York City gymnasium, marking the start of the American nudist movement. While countless Americans had long enjoyed the pleasures of skinny dipping or nude sunbathing, nudists were the first to organize a movement around the idea that exposing the body corrected the ills of modern society and produced profound benefits for the body as well as the mind. Despite hostility and skepticism, American nudists enlisted the support of health enthusiasts, homemakers, sex radicals, and even ministers, and in the process, redefined what could be seen, experienced, and consumed in twentieth-century America.
Naked gives a vibrant, detailed account of the American nudist movement and the larger cultural phenomenon of public nudity in the United States. Brian S. Hoffman reflects on the idea of nakedness itself in the context of a culture that wrestles with an inherent sense of shame and conflicting moral attitudes about the body. In exploring the social and legal history of nudism, Hoffman reveals how anxieties about gender, race, sexuality, and age inform our conceptions of nakedness. The book traces the debates about distinguishing deviant sexualities from morally acceptable display, the legal processes that helped bring about the dramatic changes in sexuality in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the explosion in eroticism that has increasingly defined the modern American consumer economy. Drawing on a colorful collection of nudist materials, films, and magazines, Naked exposes the social, cultural, and moral assumptions about nakedness and the body normally hidden from view and behind closed doors.

Introducing a NEW PRIVATE Naturist, Clothing Optional, Family and Gay Friendly Vacation Rental and Spa, in North Central Florida, USA!
|
Hello,
Think any of your members are planning to visit Florida, USA?
I would love to let your members know about “The Oasis In The
Woods”, my Clothing Optional Private Vacation Rental and
Spa. It has been my private residence for many years, which I am
now offering as a totally private vacation rental that can accommodate up to
six adults and 2 children. It is a beautiful 2500 sq ft Log Cabin
Chalet Spa in Northern Florida. I have been a naturist for many
years and know how hard it is to find a PRIVATE Naturist, Family, and
Gay Friendly retreat. That is why I am renting the “The Oasis
In The Woods” as a Naturist, clothing optional, nudist retreat, and I
would love to be able to have it listed on your webpage.
The property is rented” in total”, so that who rents “The Oasis In
The Woods”, has the ENTIRE chalet and grounds to THEMSELVES! Total
privacy for one’s family or guests.
Sitting on 5 very private acres, the 3-bedroom chalet has a 900 sq. ft
Spa Room that includes a fitness machine area, heated indoor endless
pool/spa, 3-person ultra-sonic sauna, meditation area, and couch/relaxation
area with 55” Roku TV. It also includes an outdoor in-ground screened
in pool, fire pit, two story living room, two covered porches to relax on
with gas barbeque, and a gourmet kitchen with all the necessities, a laundry
room with washer and dryer (no charge of course), and a wood burning fire
place in the living room.
Relax at the chalet, or use this as a base for, river tubing, kayaking,
hiking, or go snorkeling/scuba cave diving in incredible natural Springs –
ALL within 15 minutes of the Chalet. With three main rivers all
within 20 minutes, whether you want to rent a kayak, fresh water fish,
or canoe and go "Way Down Upon the Suwanee River" or sit on
an inner tube and float for an hour or 6 hours down the Santa Fe River, or
paddle board the various Springs, or just go swimming in the Springs they are
ALL close and accessible.
The Chalet is only 50 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, 1 ½ hours
from the Atlantic Ocean! A day trip to either is an easy ride, and one
can be back in plenty of time for a home cooked meal, and back into the Spa!
One of the few locations in all of Florida that can boast this!
My webpage for this property is www.oasisinthewoods.com, where you can get a comprehensive view of what I am offering and
see the various photos as well.
I thank you in advance for your help.
Peace,
Eric Rubin
