And don’t forget the reminder from the cheerful narrator: “Volleyball is popular among nudists, no matter what your level of skill.”
That was one of the running jokes on MASH: Hawkeye was always talking about his subscription to nude volleyball magazines.

I tried to watch the whole thing, but it was too long. I was grateful that the 4:3 aspect ratio helped me endure a little more. What I did see was quite pleasurable.

Where did people even see this video back in the 80s? I assume they couldn’t air it unless it was on adult cable channels. Did they just send out promotional copies to niche travel agencies or something?

I was wondering the same. My guess is that there were ads in the back of magazines or something and they’d snail mail you a tape?

Is a porn mustache a prerequisite for entry at a nudist resort? I guess it was the mid-80s.
Watching guys waterski and bike ride naked just makes me think that there’s plenty of occasions where pants are very handy for protection. Ow ow ow.

As the old joke goes…"I’ve seen those people at those resorts… and it was not pretty.
Lots of wrinkles. And age spots.
Pass.

Most nudists will tell you that if you’re going just to ogle other people then you’re doing it wrong (and frankly being a bit of a creep).

Hey. I resemble that remark.
(But I tend to wear clothes pretty regularly.)

Most consumers of nudist magazines, documentaries and promotional materials disagree…

Nudism != Exhibitionism.
Nobody deserves to be shamed for bringing a body to a nudist resort that other people don’t find attractive, and nobody who visits a nudist resort should expect all the other bodies there to be on display for their personal gratification.
There’s a big difference between someone who vacations in a place where families can run around nude and someone vacations in a place because they really like watching those little kids run around in the nude.

Can’t help but notice that most of them have tan lines.
