There's never been a better time to skinny dip, play tennis au natural, or Jet Ski in the raw. It's "Nude Recreation Week" and America's fast-growing network of 260 clothing-optional resorts offer an ever-expanding list of outdoor activities for nudists.
Since 1992, the $400 million nude vacationing industry has tripled in size. There are now clothing-optional hotels and time-share condos in nearly every major tourist destination, nude cruises, and in-the-buff charter flights that won't let you fly by the seat of your pants.
"I think Americans are waking up to the peace and serenity that comes with taking off your clothing. For one thing, nobody has a pocket for a cell phone or beeper," says Carolyn Hawkins of the American Association for Nude Recreation, which boasts more than 50,000 dues-paying members.
"In a room of naked people, you don't know who's a judge, and who's a secretary. It's really leaving all those distractions that divide people behind."

Tsk, Millee. This isn't even authentic! We all know it's not "distractions" that divides peoples' behinds! That's why the crack goes up and down instead of sideways...
...so when we slide down a slide it won't go "be-bud-dee-buh-dee-buh." [for full effect, purse lips and laterally rub index finger up and down across them very rapidly...]

"Wine, huh??? I've heard that stuff is good, I'll have to try it! ;o)" Some call it fermented grape juice. It is very tasty. I think you should start drinking as much as you can to make up for lost time.

If the broad to the far right was built a little better, this pic might have nudity.
