Nudist Volleyball
Ah yes, it's time for another round of nudist volleyball.
My understanding is that nudist groups discourage young, single males from being members because they tend to be too interested in an erotic experience, whereas nudism is represented as a wholesome, natural, family environment.
If that's accurate, I wonder whether a lot of the photos of supposedly nudist activities are genuine or just contrived photo sessions designed to meet our fantasies.
What you say about young single male exclusion is true, and if you look at most nudist photo websites, there are more women than men shown overall. The pictures in some magazines published by Wyngate and Bevins in the late 1960's were definitely contrived to appeal to gays. Most of what I label as nudist is genuine material, but I know that a lot of them have women cropped out. As they say, it is what it is.

DeleteInteresting, thank you.
DeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteMore recent post 1980s photos could be from male nudist Gatherings.
DeleteThe body that is cropped off the arm to the left of the photo could be of the opposite gender.
DeleteJim, I'm pretty sure you are correct about the cropping.
