for May 19 3 4 What Really Goes On in a NUDIST COLONY? 0 K ■ WHAT do you really think or KNOW about Nudism? Are you shocked? . . . Ordo you simply laugh at the stories circulating about it? ... Or do you agree that it is high time you knew what is actually behind this sensational movement, which is suddenly sending thousands of men and women into the woods to romp "in the altogether"? If you think that Nudism is just a matter of hating clothes, you're wrong. If you think it is a stunt indulged in only by exhibitionists— get the true facts! Now a young man and woman tell the intimate story of how they unexpectedly went to live among the Nudists — of how they "took the plunge" — of the intense embarrassment they endured at first — their strange reactions to living in a world where clothes were taboo — the curiosity of others — their games, dances, interests, and social entertainments — and the strange changes that took place in their ideas of morality. "Among the Nudists" is an outspoken description of what really goes on behind the fences of the Nudist colonies — told by two people who joined one. And 22 actual photographs, untouched by artist's paint or censor's patch, show you the activities in these out-of-the-way camps. Here is the true story of why so many thousands of men and women are eager to go around without a stitch on them. Here are the reasons why this "escape" of the more unconventional Germans and French is gaining such an amazing foothold in America today. Do You Want to SEE this book— FREE?
