Another reason to get naked - sunbathing may do wonders for your sex life!

Another reason to get naked - sunbathing may do wonders for your sex life!

More good news for us nudists. A little sunshine may do wonders for your sex life.
A spot of sunbathing may be just the thing to lift a man's libido, say experts after an Austrian study finds testosterone is boosted by vitamin D.
The bulk of this essential nutrient is made by the skin on exposure to sunlight. The rest comes from the diet.
A study in Clinical Endocrinology journal of 2,299 men found those with enough of the vitamin had more of the male sex hormone than those with less.

Turkey opens first official nudist hotel

Update to "The Complete Guide..."

Further to "Chapter 7 Naturism and the Law - where nudity's a no-no", the situation regarding Turkey seems to be changing.

The Adaburnu-Gelmar Hotel, located in Datça near the well-known resort of Marmaris, is to be the first nudist hotel in Turkey, whose population is Muslim by an overwhelming majority and which – despite steadfastly maintaining a secular society, holds up rather traditional and conservative values.
Although its main target will be attracting foreign tourists, Turks who make a reservation through a foreign tour operator, as they can be classified as tourists, will also be allowed to stay at the hotel.
The hotel will allow nudity on the hotel grounds from 8am to 8pm, according to international media reports.
“Whilst guests are expected to cover up indoors, there is a pool bar serving drinks and an outdoor dining terrace by the pool where guests may eat au-naturel,” an advertisement for the hotel on the Peng Travel website reads. “The hotel has its own serviced naturist beach a 20 minute drive away and provides a free shuttle service.”

See the Peng Travel Website for details.

Another Good Reason to Become a Nudist: you won't get eaten by a shark!

Another Good Reason to Become a Nudist: you won't get eaten by a shark!
According to recent research, an all-over-tan can dramatically reduce your chances of being swallowed up by a shark.
Apparently the flashes of white skin which characterise the bodies of people who rarely expose their bodies to the sun and air help to attract a shark, and alert it to the possibility of dinner being served.
An all-over tan is much less noticeable to a fishy predator, so you're significantly less likely to end up as the main course.
So before you go swimming in shark infested waters -- top up your tan!

Another good reason to shed our clothes!

Research published in this months's British Medical Journal indicates that people who have high levels of vitamin D, the main source of which is sunlight, through skin exposure, are less likely to develop bowel cancer than those with low levels.

Dr Panagiota Mitrou, science programme manager for the World Cancer Research Fund, said: "This is the biggest ever study on this subject and there is now quite a lot of evidence from studying populations that people who have low levels of vitamin D are more likely to develop bowel cancer.

The Complete Guide to Nudism & Naturism already lists an impressive array of diseases which are known to benefit from exposure to sunlight, but bowel cancer was not amongst them. It appears that we now have yet another reason to shed our clothes!
