Rank speculation, but I wonder if the trend to shave the pubic region makes a lot of women less willing to go to a nude beach. Back in the early 1980s, when I was able to visit Black’s Beach a few times, no one shaved. With full pubic hair, in most cases you couldn’t see anything but… pubic hair.
Now, when women shave, all their bits are clearly visible. I don’t think it explains the difference in the crowds back then and now, but it could be a factor in keeping some women from going.
