BOOK DESCRIPTION
In 1903, in Klingberg, Germany, Paul Zimmermann opened the world’s first nudist resort. Since then the idea has spread throughout the world until today there are over 130 nudist camps in America alone.
Who are the people who attend these camps? Why do they become nudists? What are their dominant personality traits? Is nudism a “religion?” What relationship is there between nudism and sexual behavior? What effects does it have upon the family unit? What is the relationship of nudism to the law? Does nudism have any therapeutic value? What is the future of the nudist idea in America?
These and scores of other questions are analyzed with exceptional thoroughness and objectivity in this book, NUDIST SOCIETY, written by two trained sociologists and a perceptive practicing nudist, took five years of intensive research to produce. It is the first authoritative and complete study of the world of the nudist, and dispels many of the myths that have long surrounded this unique social phenomenon. In its field, it is bound to rankl both in statute and significance with similar research by such figures as Masters, Johnson, and Kinsey.
