Get naked! American nudists celebrate summer au naturel

Sorry I was late posting this, but it goes on all summer National Nude Week is the kickoff date. So drop the duds, and visit a nudist facility in your area. DO YOU DARE TO GO BARE? As Americans across the country take off for the holiday weekend, a select group will be going even farther. They’ll be taking it all off. National Nude Recreation Week kicks off with a metaphorical bang July 4, and nudists are inviting all of America to doff the duds, slap on the SPF 30 and join them for a skinny dip, a hike au naturel or an outdoor frolic in their birthday suits. “We’d like everyone to know how much better off we’d all be if everyone knew the physical, spiritual and emotional benefits of nudism,” says Dr. Gerry Goodenough, a Corona, Calif., nudist. “The constricting emotional doors all drop away, and pretty soon we’re all playing like little kids again.” Well, like naked little kids again. “If people would only try it once, I think they’ll see the joys of being naked outdoors,” says Carolyn Hawkins, spokesperson for the American Association for Nude Recreation in Kissimmee, Fla. “During Nude Recreation Week, most clubs open the doors for free and let people come in and see how much wholesome fun nude recreation can be.” Get naked!
