I was just listening to NPR news and they had a feature on the clothing optional restaurant in Manhattan. The reporter (a female) gave a very comprehensive description of the experience she had going to the restaurant participating in the nude experience.
She interviewed the owner as well as some of the patrons. She talked about the fact that it was a totally non-sexual experience, and that people were very relaxed (including herself) after the initial embarasement of being nude around others.
The entire story was extremely positive, and there was not one shallow inuendo about nudists being somehow different from others. She did a very good job about explaining the way people seem to be more relaxed around others who are nude, without any pretentions by reason of wearing clothes.
It was, by far, the best, most positive description of the nudist experience I have ever heard on a major media outlet. I suspect you can hear it on their website, and if you can, perhaps someone (with better computer skills than myself) could post it.
