Sometimes it is the guys turn but I don't know what they accomplish with their rituals.

Nollningen is a Swedish college initiation ritual in which the entire school particpates, including faculty. During the initiation the Nolls (freshmen) play games and have ceremonies in which many of them are forced to strip completely naked, much to the delight of the girls present. To the chagrin of the guys, although the girls participate they never strip naked but may sometimes undress down to panties and bras.

Acnielsenguy...love those pics of the beach....looks like the place to be in the heat....such a nice big pic, with lots of sunbathing folks....
However, my favorite pic must be the one with the guys and their bare butts...ah, those crazy Swedes...
This reminds of the episode of 'Northern Exposure', where its the end of the winter, and everyone is waiting for the spring thaw, which is marked by a large 'crack' in the ice, to be heard by one and all...
All the folks are gathered in the Roslyn Cafe, and as they wait, day by day, for the spring thaw to come, and are listening for the loud 'crack', they become more and more surly and combative....
However, once the loud 'crack' occurs, the music begins, folks relax, and times return to normal...
Normal, in this wacky town, means that the morning after the spring thaw 'crack', all the gents gather at the cafe, down as much whiskey as they can, and are supposed to run through town, whose sidewalks are lined by the ladies...
So the new doc in town, unaware of the full extent of the males running, joins in...and then shockingly notices, that the men are all stripping....he is aghast, for the running of the males must be done in the nude, to the screams of giggly ladies lining the sidewalks...altho aghast, he is determined not to be a prude, so the doc strips, and lunches out into the ice bound, snowfilled, ladylined street, along with all the other naked males in town...
All the ladies are giggling and cheering, and raising their eyebrows, and pointing out the manly specimens they see...the men run down the street, in their full splendor, arms raised high above their heads, showing off their wares...
We TV viewers only get to see the bare tummies and backs of the gents, this being family viewing, but we just know that the running of the gents to the sheer pleasure of the ladies, involves naked butts, and manly organs....
What a wacky town(supposed to be up in Alaska)...I wish to find such a town, with such quaint customs...
