How very odd: Communism + Russian Zone in DE = naturism; why the tremendous popularity then, and still today?
'German holidaymakers will be able to indulge their love of naturism by taking to the skies nude on special flights being launched this year, a travel company said on Monday. "In the former East Germany, naturist holidays were a much-loved way of spending the best weeks of the year," said the founder of OssiUrlaub.de, Enrico Hess. "We want to make that freedom possible above the clouds too." The flights are aimed specifically at former East Germans, nicknamed "Ossis" in German, who feel nostalgic for the naturism that was authorised and extremely popular under communist rule. The first nude flights will be a day-trip on July 5 between Erfurt in southeast Germany and the Baltic Sea island of Usedom, which is fringed by white sand beaches. "All the passengers will fly naked, but they are only allowed to undress once they are in the plane. But then they will be able to enjoy the hour-long flight in the way God intended" Hess said. The pilot and the flight attendants will however keep their clothes on.' 'Germany's nude airline takes off' 29 Jan 2008

You know what I love that, I love that people can embrace their bodies and say yeah I am a human and I don't care! I hate the American culture where every woman seems to be silicon and collagen (I don't know how to spell that.) I love the old hippie stories of Woodstock where men and women came together listened to music and roll around in the mud having fun together! That is brilliant. I hate that America put sexuality into everything and if a woman doesn't have 50G tits and a 20 inch waist she is ugly! Maybe it's just what I have seen from American TV but I m so glad I don't live there. I walk around naked in my house every day, I go to a nude beach. Being naked isn't the problem over there it's the horrible men. See the men here work with us, not try to fuck us every day. We are all equals over here. The women there all they want is fake tits, lips, clothes, money. The men want cares, fake tits, lips, money. I think Americans are the lowest creatures on the Earth, they have about as much relevance as a turd on a porch, I think Americans need to grow up and get over the celebrity worship, live their own lives.

The Germans are very open about their bodies, even if they are not 'beautiful' by the superficial standards of magazine world ... and let's face it, any nation where people dive into semi frozen rivers and swim about (like the Rissians, lol), must take pride in physical fitness! And both Germans and Russians have a traditions of summering by the water, lots of swimming, etc ... I can see the mix working to increase body awareness and naturism. Cheers :-)
