Genuine Naturists - Narrow-minded Conservatives - Official FKK Naturist organisations

A row has broken out between Germany's official naturist
movement and thousands of people who enjoy sunbathing naked but refuse to
become paid-up nudist club members.

With Germany enjoying a heatwave, more and more people are shedding their
clothes at the country's lakes, rivers, parks and beaches - much to the
annoyance of nudist clubs.

Waltzer Nussbaumer, president of the Association for Free Life Form, said "wild
nudists" were giving a bad name to the country's organized naturalists, 50,000
of whom are members of so-called Free Body Culture (FKK) clubs.

"We real FKK members distance ourselves from these naked people. They give the
movement a sleazy name," he said.

"Morals are important to us. We care about a decent club life in which family
togetherness and sport counts. There's absolutely nothing erotic about 200
people jumping around naked."

Bild newspaper Thursday pictured one female nudist on an official FKK beach who accused unofficial naked sunbathers of "pure exhibitionism".

Another said: "Somehow they are not proper nudists, not so nicely organized as we are. We in the FKK club have great barbecue evenings, play games together, everybody knows everyone else.

"These easy girls who simply take everything off in public probably only want to grab themselves a guy."
