The Shameless Nude [first edition]

This is a nudist/naturist classic. We are all born naked, but for some reason can't seem to accept what we are born naturally. For whatever reason, we have this hang-up about our naked skins. Do we have some anxiety about not being born with fur as other animals? This is a great book about nudism and naturist lifestyle. The book is essentially a collection of essays gleaned from naturist magazines about our attitudes toward the human body, social, cultural, and sexual mores and questions them and challenges us to think about our attitudes toward the human body and the nude human form and all with gorgeous black and white and some color images gleaned from nudist magazines of the 1960's and 70's. The images are certainly beautiful and convey the glory and beauty of being without clothes. ISBN: 9781555990374 Edited by Ed.
