According to The New York Post, nudism - including nude dining, yoga and stand-up comedy - is all the rage. One such club discussed in the article:About 50 diners - whose motto is "no hot soup" - regularly turn up for Ordover's monthly meals held at venues including the Mercantile Grill on Pearl Street and Pete's Downtown in Brooklyn. They're served by regular restaurant staff - forced by city laws to keep their clothes on.
Here's the answer to our first question: the naked diners bring their own sheets and towels to sit on. Our second question, though, remains unanswered: Sure it's hot, but what's wrong with air conditioning?

We're nudists, but we don't have much opportunity to do it, other than at home with guests who share our view.
You have to be choosy when it comes to who you are with. Too many people view nudity only in a sexual way. I have no desire to be oogled the whole time I don't have clothes on.

2. If this takes off it's going to wreak havoc on the dry-cleaning industry.

3. Have no issue with nudist beaches - bring them on. Nude dining? Not so much. Besides, I thought nudist everything kinda went out with the 1970's...

Makes one wonder why they don't do this at the hot-dog stand?

OK, mac. Just be discreet about it until I have a few drinks. Then I probably won't mind as much.
Or I'll be too sloshed to even notice.

15. I love being nude! Never before did I get so close to Nature; never before did she come so close to me... Nature was naked, and I was also... Sweet, sane, still Nakedness in Nature! - Ah if poor, sick, prurient humanity in cities might really know you once more! Is not nakedness indecent? No, not inherently. It is your thought, your sophistication, your fear, your respectability, that is indecent. There come moods when these clothes of ours are not only too irksome to wear, but are themselves indecent. Imagine a place like naturistmingle.com where no one is judged by appearance but is accepted only as God himself created him. Imagine an environment where even children can play in complete safety and peace.
