How did that work?

It was never that popular in America. It was just that, in the Sixties, nudist magazines were the only place you could legally see pictures that showed bush.

Ironically, these days, only one in six women has a bush, and most men are frightened at the sight of them. Le sigh.

Funny how that works.:rolleyes:

I agree with your analysis of nudism over time. I think in the "old days - 60s etc" nudists didn't practice it in their own yards or public beaches, just primarily at camps/colonies. Plus as we are all aware it is more acceptable now in the public eye as long as you don't do it somewhere that offends textile folks.

I remember I had relatives that were nudists and went to camps, but were very private and closed mouth about it. I only found this out when I came across pictures they had taken and were developed by a friend. The magazines were an exception, but I think many of the pictures were of professional models. Although I did find pictures of my aunt and uncle and friends of theirs in a magazine in a nudist resort library.

Funny anecdote - When I found the pictures of these folks in a magazine in the library I started to get "chubbie". The librarian gal noticed and said I better be careful. I told her the pictures I was looking at were friends/family from the 60s. She laughed and replied that it was somewhat common for that to happen.

It is nice that nudism is accepted by society and it isn't difficult to locate a place to enjoy it.

Me two cents...

Second, why would nudist prefer to go smooth instead of bushy- I thought nudism was a body positive endeavor.
