Nudity is a great leveller’: Why Germans love to get naked Early naturists rebelled against the grime of industry and the slaughter of the first World War The first time Michael Adamski saw his mother-in-law naked it was awkward. But it wasn’t as awkward as seeing his boss naked. Adamski, a police officer in Berlin who investigates organised crime, first started going to a nudist camp at a lake outside Berlin after he met his wife, whose family owned a cabin there. One weekend, when he had just about gotten used to stripping in front of his in-laws, he bumped into the highest-ranking colonel in his precinct – who promptly challenged him to a game of table tennis. They have been on first-name terms ever since. “Once you’ve played ping-pong with someone naked, you can’t call them ‘colonel’ anymore,” Adamski says as he prepared to join a triathlon where the swimming and running portions of the race were naked. “Nudity is a great leveler.”Germans love to get naked. They have been getting n

She was working in marketing for a shopping centre at the time, collecting a small salary and still living at home, when she was struck off for posting lewd content online. Despite this setback, Annie is today one of the most successful content creators in the world, bringing in as much as £1.2million a year, and the proud owner of three lavish homes across Australia worth a combined £1.45 million.

Liberating? Exploitative? A Nude Scene Summer Report Card.

Liberating? Exploitative? A Nude Scene Summer Report Card. From “The Idol” to “Oppenheimer,” women’s bodies were on display on our screens the past few months. Some executions succeeded with humor, others felt misguided. This has been a summer of women being liberated — from their wardrobes, mostly. The nudity on our screens has been a topic of constant conversation for months, from the provoking premiere of “The Idol” in June to the left-field nudity in “Oppenheimer” (and the interpersonal havoc it wreaked on some relationships, as one viral TikTok can attest to). In each instance the theme, in one respect or another, seems to be liberation: not necessarily of the de Beauvoir variety, but a female character’s liberation from some kind of enclosure, whether societal, cultural or personal, and her nudity is meant to reflect that. Depending on the context of the story, the director’s intention, the work’s perspective or the execution of the shot, a nude scene may serve as shorthand for a

Tracking Historical Representations of the Female Nude

Tracking Historical Representations of the Female Nude French painting in the mid-nineteenth century is characterized by the critical transformation from the academic, neoclassical style to more innovative and progressive types. The idealized, nude goddess of the neoclassical tradition was gradually replaced by modern varieties in which avant-garde painters chose the representation of the female nude as a front for their challenge to the accepted standards of the Academy In French academic art, female nudity was only permissible within the context of a recognizable narrative in an imaginary, mythological or biblical landscape. However, forward-thinking artists portray women in a naturalistic form, engaged in everyday activities, undermining established clichés of femininity and eliminating the voyeurism associated with traditional nudes of the period. By analyzing the evolving relationship between the fine art of the female nude, its reception, and political movements in nineteenth-cen

A Penis on Every Page: The Rise and Fall of Playgirl

A Penis on Every Page: The Rise and Fall of Playgirl It was supposed to be a raunchy, revolutionary magazine for women. It didn't exactly turn out that way. Douglas Lambert wanted to give Playboy a run for its money. It was 1971, and Hugh Hefner's magazine had created a new mainstream market for soft-core porn. Lambert, a nightclub owner in Garden Grove, California, decided to get in on the action. Lambert's wife Jenny saw a bigger opportunity: a magazine with nude male centerfolds. Lambert wasn't sold. What woman wanted to ogle photos of nude men, much less buy a magazine full of them? But he slowly realized Jenny might be on to something. The sexual revolution was well under way, and Lambert "sensed the woman of the '70s was eager to become part" of it, as he'd eventually write in promo copy for his new magazine. So in the summer of 1971, Lambert, along with William Miles Jr., an experienced adman who served as Playgirl's executive vice president

Statue of Naked Woman Is Blocked From National Mall

Statue of Naked Woman Is Blocked From National Mall The National Park Service has blocked activists from installing a giant sculpture of a nude woman on the National Mall in Washington. In a letter on Wednesday to the group seeking to install the statue, the park service’s acting regional director, Rick Obernesser, said that the agency had chosen to deny requests to put the 45-foot-tall sculpture, titled “R-Evolution,” “on the turf or hardscape near the Washington Monument.” Placing the piece on the turf for 91 days was likely to “significantly damage” the grounds, he wrote. Putting such a tall sculpture near the base of the Washington Monument, he said, was “likely to have an adverse effect on the aesthetics, including the cultural identity, of the area.” In its statement on Thursday, the group, Catharsis on the Mall, said it was “stunned” by what it said was the park service’s “sudden last-minute retraction.” A spokeswoman for the group threatened legal action to defend what she said
