Budget Airline Backs Naturism

[Rik]

Having flown from the UK to Switzerland and back again during the last week by Easyjet (the best known European budget airline) I was delighted by their in-flight magazines for May and June.

In the May edition of the magazine was an article entitled "Hanging Out" which featured photographs taken at a naturist resort on the Costa Del Sol along with some very favourable comment. See http://easyjetinflight.com/features/2004/may/naked.html

In the June edition was another article about naturism entitled "10 Places to Get Your Kit Off" which offered some very positive comments about naturism and a brief review of a number of European places where you can go bare with some interesting comments about Denmark (which I'm sure Stu will dispute - after all it's only the opinion of an international airline!). See http://easyjetinflight.com/features/2004/jun/nude.html

Also in the June edition, in its "Property News" section, Easyjet is recommending the virtues of buying a property at the Vera Player naturist resort in Spain. See "Back to Nature" at http://easyjetinflight.com/features/...pertynews.html

It's a pity about the pixelated photographs but I think it's great that Easyjet's 2 million passengers per month have been given the opportunity to become better informed about naturism in a straightforwrd non-snickering way. The mainstreaming of naturism is, I believe, its best hope for the future.

"which I'm sure Stu will dispute - after all it's only the opinion of an international airline!)"

This is yet another pile of utter and unmittigated BULLS' MANURE! The writer has obviously either never been to DK, or he's been to the "fribadestrande" and assumes that what happens there is what happens everywhere.

Rik, this is something you are going to have to find out for yourself when you go next month. PLEASE go to some normal beaches in Denmark rather than the "free" beaches I mentioned and count up all the naked people you see (I mean adults, and who aren't just quickly and discreetly getting changed in and out of swimwear).

I would have thought that by now you would have known me well enought to realise that I don't tell lies. My wife doesn't tell lies and neither do my children. We will all tell you the same thing about Denmark and that is that we go there every summer on holiday, have done this for many years, and hire a "sommerhus" close to a popular beach - and we have visited beaches the entire length and breadth of the country from Sonderjylland to Skagen and from Aalborg to Gilleleje. We have NEVER - NOT ONCE - seen a single naked person sunbathing, padling, walking, swimming, jogging, playing sport, dancing or hanging upside down from a flagpole, on ANY Danish beach or in any Danish park. I have albums FULL TO BURSTING with photos of my family enjoying the lovely Danish beaches along with other holidaymakers - all in clothing or swimwear.

Do you think I'm making this UP? Do you think for one moment I would EVER set foot in that country let alone take my holidays there if nudity was commonplace? I love Denmark, speak the language, and I have plans to make my home there in three or four years time. The day I see somebody exposing themselves the way that was described will be the day I curse the place and vow never to return.

Report back here when you have been this year - and please be honest about what you see on non-naturist beaches - just I have been.

Sorry stu, I think you are lying here. Everyone tells lies. Can't live in a civilized society without lying once in a while. And kids are notorious for lying.

And here is a site for The Scandinavian Naturist Portal. In this site, they talk about the beaches in Denmark. Anong other things it mentions, "The conservative minister of justice Knud Thestrup stated in the middle of the seventies that it must be the behaviour of the naked person which is important when it should be determined what is acceptable and what is offensive."

They acknowledge that there are only 4 official nude beaches and 2 official textile beaches. The rest are either unofficial nude or If you see on the Dansk Naturist Union site, In principle it is allowed to take a swim in the nude anywhere in Denmark with only two exceptions: two beaches specially signposted as textile beaches. However, we urge our fellow naturist to behave with consideration to people around them. We try to avoid upsetting people.
