STUDY BARES CONTRADICTIONS ABOUT NUDISTS



GAINESVILLE, Fla. (Wireless Flash) – A new study from the University of Florida is baring some surprising contradictions about nudists – but a nudist group claims it’s far from the naked truth. Researcher Ellen Woodall says contrary to nudists’ claims they accept all body types, they’re just as likely to gossip and joke about each others bodies as non-nudists. She spent two summers working at a Florida nudist camp and says she overheard men joking about overweight nude women and ladies giggling about the male nudists’ “endowments.” However, a spokeswoman from the American Association for Nude Recreation says she spent nine years at the club Woodall worked at and never heard anything like that. Spokeswoman Carolyn Hawkins says she has no idea where Woodall got the information and insists nudist resorts are a place where the overweight and physically flawed can feel accepted and comfortable.
