In April, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB197, a law that tightens regulation of massage therapy establishments, aiming to combat human trafficking and ensure professional standards. The legislation mandates increased operational transparency and precise documentation of services and personnel. Notably, it requires that all individuals on the premises must be clothed except for consenting massage recipients. Crucially for the nudist and naturist community, it includes an exemption for clubs chartered with the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) where massage may be offered as a service, legally recognizing the legitimacy of naturist activities and distinguishing them from exploitative commercial nudity.

As any seasoned horticulturist can attest, gardening involves much more than putting a seed into the dirt, keeping it watered, and watching it grow. Serious agrarians insist on the importance of lore and ritual in gardening. The Old Farmer’s Almanac stresses the importance of planting according to the moon phases. Rural grandmothers will swear that parsley must be planted in three sowings (“two for the devil and one for the gardener”) or that spicier peppers can be achieved if the gardener sows the seeds while angry.
Some even claim that nudity has a role in gardening and horticulture.

North American attitudes toward many social issues have progressed over the past 100 years. However, the way we approach nudity has seemingly regressed. Consider the practice of nude swimming, especially among males. From the early part of the 20th century until well into the 1970s, many high schools, boy’s clubs, and YMCAs required males to swim nude. While not widespread, it was the accepted practice at many such facilities across the U.S. I discovered this while interviewing stand-up comedian and writer Paul Mecurio, who works on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. 🪐

A newly proposed initiative by Brevard County, Florida, led by County Commission Chair Jason Steele during a Brevard County Tourist Development Council meeting, aims to restrict nudity at public events that receive tourism grants. This initiative specifically targets LGBTQ+ cultural events under the premise of protecting children and families from potential harm. Notably, Steele has not cited any past incidents justifying the need for such a measure. 🪐

In 2024, “The Streak,” a novelty song by veteran singer/songwriter and occasional humorist Ray Stevens, turned 50. The song was released in February 1974, and by late spring, it was inescapable, receiving airplay on both the country and pop charts. It came out just a week before the famous streaking incident at that year’s Oscar ceremony, further fueling interest in the track.
I was eight years old when the song hit #1 on the Hot 100 (#3 on the Country Chart) in May of that year. It stayed on top for three weeks and remains one of Stevens’ biggest hits. The song intrigued me immediately. The idea of being naked just sounded appealing for some reason. I didn’t know why. Also, a few other things happened that spring and summer that cemented my early interest in nudism.

The disappointingly crude, post-pulp cover of Orrie Hitt’s novel The Naked Flesh reflects the book’s publication date of 1962. The cover promises “ADULT READING” and portrays two women, one distantly nude, the other wearing a bikini that is clearly intended to bemuse the garment industry and puzzle innocent, non-adult readers. (Hey, kid! This book is for ADULTS!) 🪐
