Can you imagine?The leather-dressed white collar suddenly lifted a cocktail on the beach, and the beauty of the bikini melted the last piece of cloth jumping into the pool, the netizens whispered without looking at it.

Yes, it is the place called the naked resort, as the name implies, in this resort, no one wears clothes, no matter men, women and young people, all naked to each other.

You can't help but ask,Is this a natural carnival of human liberation, or is it a ridiculous farce of reversing civilization? Is it a return to nature or a violation of customs?

The Origin of Nude Vacation

The origin of nude vacations can be traced back to France in 1954.

At that time there was a vineyard called Len, who used to work in the field with his arm.

One day he went to the sea and saw a crowd of German tourists swimming naked, angry to pick up the grapes to run away.

Then he asked him, "Don't you work shirtless yourself? What's the difference between us swimming in the sun at the beach and you working in the fields?"

This sentence left René speechless, and he pondered it for a moment, and it seemed to make sense.

More importantly, he saw business opportunities in it.

So Rene and his brothers opened the world¡¯s first naked camp.

At the beginning, the conditions were simple, just a few tents.

Unlikely the business was getting better and better, by 1974, the local government simply laid out a large beach area dedicated to the naked resort.

As the nude holiday model is accepted by more and more people, the distinctive nude resorts are gradually emerging around the world, their styles vary and meet the needs of different populations.

The largest nudist village in Europe, Cape Agde, receives hundreds of thousands of visitors every year and now earns tens of millions of euros a year.

The village¡¯s supermarkets, banks, and barbershops should be full, and the only difference is that everyone is full.

If you go in wearing a bathing suit, you will be asked out instead.

Unlike the strict ones of Cape Agde in France, the secluded beaches of Cancun, Mexico, take a high-end private route.

It costs $500 a night, about 3000 yuan.

Even if it is so expensive, it is still hard to find a room.

The celestial community in Florida, USA, is another peaceful scene, where it is more like an exclusive paradise for retired elderly people.

This community has a history of 80 years, and people in their eighties can often be seen wearing sun hats and playing golf naked.

Meeting neighbors did not ask ¡°Have you eaten?¡± but ¡°Have you used sunscreen today?¡±

The resort in Montgomery, Jamaica, is between strict rules and a relaxed atmosphere.

On the tropical beach, everyone had a great time, but everyone knew what to do.

Someone dances and chats on the beach, but never does the same thing.

Rules of Naked Resorts.

Some might think that the naked resort is a place of "unrestricted", but in reality, the rules here are much stricter than the ordinary landscape.

Take Cape Agd as an example. Here is a 23-page rulebook that is more detailed than the airline regulations.

First of all, nudity is not a matter of whether you want it or not, but a rule that must be followed.

Men must be at least 18 years old and provide proof of no sexual harassment record in the past six months, while women only need to show their ID cards. Many resorts also explicitly prohibit bringing children in, just to create space for adults to relax completely.

Social rituals are even stricter ¨C you can¡¯t look at someone else¡¯s body for more than three seconds.

Even bending up and picking up the shells, you must use the elbow to block the sight, so that no one is uncomfortable.

Life details are also strictly stipulated. Showers cannot last longer than 7 minutes, and the water temperature should be adjusted to 38 degrees.

Whether it¡¯s a restaurant or a beach seat, you have to lay your own towel first.

The phone should be put in a transparent bag, only with the phone and social software, absolutely not to take photos.

Visitors also have to pay a deposit of 200 euros and wear an electronic foot ring.

Once caught secretly shooting or secretly hiding swimming trunks, the deposit will be deducted and blocked.

In addition to rule constraints, the resort has also put thought into hardware design.

The architect designed a sort of "windowless mushroom house" with no ordinary windows, just vents.

In this way, guests do not have to worry about being hidden and can be more relaxed.

Nude vacation controversy and survival dilemma

Although the Nude Resort has its own rules and supporters, the controversy surrounding it has never stopped.

Supporters believe this way can relax people.

According to 2023 research in the UK, people who frequent nude resorts experienced a significant decrease in anxiety.

Experiments at the University of Florida also found that this activity can help people gain physical confidence.

A woman who had had breast cancer surgery said that before she always wanted to cover her scars, went to the naked resort and found that no one would specifically look at her scars, and slowly didn't care.

There are retired teachers say that in the usual time to deal with rich people, always feel that the clothes brand will pull off the distance, here everyone is the same, the conversation is self-sufficient.

However, the opposition is equally strong, and the concerns vary.

The biggest concern is the impact on children. Many parents complain that when they take their children nearby for vacations, the next table is full of naked tourists.

The child will be curious to ask East to ask West, the adults do not know how to explain.

In addition to the impact on children, religious opposition is more resolute.

In 2023, the Turkish government closed three naked camps off the coast of the Aegean Sea.

The Turkish president also made a special televised speech, saying that it was a blasphemy against religion.

In addition to external opposition, there is also an easily overlooked issue within the nudist resort, which is the emergence of new discrimination here.

Some regulars at nude resorts feel "more open," and visitors who insist on wearing clothes say they are "too conservative," forming a new prejudice.

What's more embarrassing is that the "environmental protection" claimed by nudists is also untenable in reality.

In order to maintain hygiene, the amount of disinfectant used in resorts is three times that of ordinary places.

Due to the fact that no one wears clothes, sunscreen consumption is five times higher than that of the average beach.

These chemicals flow into the sea, causing significant damage to the environment.

During the epidemic in 2020, the health risks of nude resorts were exposed.

The infection rate in France¡¯s Agder is four times higher than in nearby villages, with hundreds confirmed in just a few days.

Even so, there are people who continue to get naked with illness, making the claim of "healthy holidays" a joke.

Nowadays, the polarization of the nude holiday industry is becoming increasingly evident.

On the one hand, more and more young people are beginning to accept this way.

The Mediterranean Cruise Company has launched naked themed routes, and some museums have also opened naked visitor spots.

On the other hand, many established nude resorts are facing survival difficulties.

The established camps in California, USA, are preparing for transfer due to financial pressure, and the nudity policy may be cancelled.

Turkey and the Middle East have banned such industries.

In fact, in the final analysis, what everyone is arguing about is not the trivial matter of "wearing clothes", but "where are the boundaries of freedom?"

Some people think that without clothes and without paying attention to the eyes of others, this is freedom.

Some people think that taking into account the feelings of others without affecting children and public order is civilization.

There is no absolute wrong between the two ideas, only differences in attitudes and cultures.

conclusion

It is normal to have support and opposition. After all, cultures and ideas are inherently different. There is no need to argue about right and wrong, accept the diversity of the world, and live your own life.
