  • Nude in Mexico
    Feb. 1, 2004---- RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO -- The road is full of questions that inevitably lead to the beauty of travel. This is how I find myself leaning on a bar at the Moonlight disco at the Hidden Beach Resort-Au Naturel Club, the only upscale and not clothing- optional nudist resort in Mexico. A naked woman walks up to me and asks, "Is this your first naked experience?" Gee, how can she tell? I am standing in a corner of the bar that is under a shadow of doubt. About 20 naked couples have finished doing a limbo dance on a cool night along the Caribbean Sea. With the exception of a gentleman from Mexico, I am the only single guy in the disco. At this point, no one knows I am a journalist, but I am the only person in the room still wearing a bathrobe. It is too cold to be bold. Besides, I am so shy, I do not limbo with my clothes on. I barely ever go to clothed cocktail parties. My chipper friends are also mastering "The Macarena." Talk about your Polaroid moments. Cameras are not allowed at Hidden Beach. One dude is playing pool naked. Another guy looks like Jeff "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Garlin. His wife is applying for a job at Hidden Beach. He smiles and takes off his robe to join in a group dance to Marcia Griffith's "Electric Boogie." Nude tourists are more open and they bond faster. I have another shot of tequila. I am here for you. The nude recreation industry is news.

In the end the iron straightened me out as she said everything will be fine, no situation is too pressing.

Schroer, M.A. Western Michigan University, 2001 This work is an institutional ethnography on the ruling rela­ tions of clothing in society. Research was conducted through a standpoint methodology which combines interviews, participant observation and the first hand experiences of the researcher. The interview data reveals nudists' belief in a social pre­ occupation with body ideals and the power structures created by some uses of clothing. The subjects in this research apply their ex­ periences in both the clothed world and the non-clothed world to ex­ pose the implications of the social structures of clothing which appear to effect interpersonal relationships, gender and disability, inequality, prejudice and ageism.
