Photo: Rita Jenrette, ex-wife of Congressman Jenrette, posing nude for Playboy magazine. Here is a woman of the high society, who is well educated, well connected, wealthy, intelligent and a wife who poses naked. How do you explain this phenomenon? Why does she pose nude? What are the reasons and motives? Some insiders told me that she got paid $20,000 to show her natural assets. Others (Cynical or not) claim that she wanted to get even with her husband, to the point of destroying his political career. And a third group or wives watchers pretend that Jenrette did it  to attract the attention of movies makers.

BETWEEN WOMAN NUDITY AND NUDISM. ANY DIFFERENCE?

Here is the point of view of a woman who enjoys nudism. It is an excerpt taken from a letter addressed to another woman who is thinking of joining a nudism camp. It is self explanatory and informative, since 69% of American women enjoy some form of nudism or public nudity. Judge for yourself:

Women & Social Nudity

A Letter to Wives From a Nudist Spouse

By Pamela Johnson

Although I have never met you I am taking the liberty of writing to you because I understand that you and your husband have become interested in nudism, and are probably wondering whether or not to take the step and visit camp this summer. My husband and I are nudists and just like you we found our way in by ourselves. However, remembering all the vague fears and worries I fretted about which later proved groundless, I would like to help you. Will you let me try? There are so many fine books and magazines about nudists and nudism to advise on the really big problems that I shall not attempt to discuss them. You are probably pretty well satisfied in your mind about them at this stage any way. It is those little worries, that buzz around like gnats that can be really disturbing -- I know they were to me.

 I must admit that one of my first reactions was the thought that I was considering doing something that was contrary to everything I had ever been taught about modesty and "common decency." I read all the literature my husband brought home, and intellectually convinced myself that it was a good thing -- but there the feeling was, and it rankled. Everyone assured me that once I had made my first visit that feeling would be dispelled, but how was I ever going to get around it even enough to let me make that first visit? Then I began to reason this way. Don and I have a very happy marriage. We'd shared good and bad, and called the big decisions together and he had never asked me to do anything that was wrong or really unpleasant. True I had not wanted to do some things at first -- I remember my first airplane ride at his insistence -- but it usually turned out that I liked it in the end. Then, too, this thing meant a great deal to him, I could see that, and I have always maintained it's a poor wife who won't give her husband's requests and desires at least one try. Although I didn't discuss it with him, I was secretly worried that I wouldn't be as attractive to him as I had been, compared with all the beautiful figures I was sure must be there. I later found the answer to that one in the normal human mixture of anatomy that was represented -- the great Average like myself, with a sprinkling of both better-than and worse- than in the bargain. But the temporary solution I found was the security I felt that our marriage was based on more than physical attractiveness and that if I did fall a little short on that, our mutual love and understanding would even the score.

However, being a woman, I began to watch the extra potatoes and ice cream, and found those impossible ten minutes for a little exercise. I must admit I wondered a bit about the sort of people I was going to meet, half expecting some "peculiar" bohemians out of the pages of a Greenwich Village novel. I eyed the Marys, and Hanks, and Joes we met with the gravest suspicion which is rather funny to me now that I have come to know them better -- Mary, the kindergarten teacher, Hank, the local optometrist, and Joe, the patent-attorney. I was much relieved to find I didn't have to put my clothes in limbo, so to speak, until we were ready to leave, and was mighty glad to put some of them on again when my shoulders began to burn. I had one rather silly notion which I acquired from looking over some pictures of the early camps and parks. Almost every second picture showed a shivering nudist being doused with cold water from a bucket by helpful friends, or a few industrious souls exercising madly under a broiling sun. I made up my mind that if such was the case, there I would draw the line. Neither Don or I liked the idea of being herded into any sort of planned recreation, and it was a pleasant surprise to find no one expected you to do anything except just what you wanted to do. If we seemed inclined to talk, there was usually someone to talk to, and we didn't once feel left out, for there were plenty of invitations to join the volleyball game or badminton or whatever was going. I permanently resigned from volleyball after several unsuccessful attempts to get the darn thing over the net, but Don loves it. It was a wonderful feeling to meet entirely new people, and enjoy new interests and activities. By the time we were enjoying "seconds" in coffee at dinner that first evening, we no longer felt like new-comers. There were no cliques to crash, and with everyone on a first name basis there was no ice to be broken. That is a peculiar thing you have to experience to believe, but there is a friendliness about nudists that you find in no other group. As for Don and I, we have come to count our nudist friends among our closest. They wear very well. But so much for me and my experiences. I hope they helped. Now, if I may make a suggestion -- since it is still not quite the season for all the camps and parks to be open, why don't you try your hand at being a nudist in the privacy of your own home. After all, charity isn't the only thing that begins there. Try sleeping nude, if you don't already -- once you get used to it you won't want to sleep any other way. That's the first easy step. Then, when you have your shower or bath, don't grab for a robe except for comfort, of course -- do your nails or set your hair or whatever. I think you'll enjoy it. If you've been egged on to some slimming exercises by the fashion columns or helpful friends, try them without clothes, it feels wonderful. Of course if all this is "old hat" to you, you are half nudist already. That's all it really is, you know, since it's convenient and healthful at times to dispense with clothes -- nudists do. We're not different from other people, just more comfortable. Well, I have to stop and get supper now. I hope I've been able to help a little. Try it out at home, if you haven't, and then tell your husband you'll give it a try at camp this summer. I know it will bring you closer together than you have ever been, just as it did for Don and me, and you both will be happy. See you at the park this summer.

Sincerely,
PAM

Note: This article was first published in the nudist magazine Suntan in 1951. But except for a very few topical references, it could have been written yesterday. The observations and advice it contains are just as accurate now as almost 50 years ago. The article has been reprinted many times since then, including in Clothed With The Sun (issue 7.3), the predecessor of The Naturist Society's.  Pamela Johnson's husband Donald is the co-author, with William Hartman and Marilyn Fithian, of one of the most comprehensive books on nudism in the U. S., Nudist Society, first published in 1970. Johnson was also an editor of the nudist magazine Sunshine and Health.

Zee: “Almost everything is sexual with men, they even admit it as if it is a badge of honor. Or I should say men can make anything in their mind sexual. This is why, men enjoy naked women fighting each other. It is not the skills of a woman wrestler that attract them, but her naked body.”

Photo: Zee (Zvyonzek) Vjesalicu (nickname is "The Pitbull"). Canadian combatant. Originally from Poltava, Ukraine (USSR). Left USSR in 1985. One of the best female extreme fighter, submission wrestler and Jiu-Jitsu player in the world. She is the real thing. No non-sense fighter.  Zee is a philosopher, a deep thinker, a lecturer and professional instructor of Asian martial arts.

Champion Zee adds: " Naked women fighting in the ring is slightly distinguished from prostitution...I don't care how much money I was offered I would never sell out to do some skunk sexual show for entertainment for anyone. These types of entertainment should not be mentioned in the same breath of what I do. It is insulting. My opinion about female wrestlers who wrestle men for money? One step from prostitution. They degrade the sport by claiming they are real wrestlers but they are not real. Most of them don't train nor do they know how to wrestle..."

 

 

OVERWHELMING MAJORITY  OF SUPERSTARS AND AWARD WINNING ACTRESSES POSED NAKED

 

"There may be something akin to vicarious gratification in watching movie sex,"

Blank, however, notes audiences experience the sex in porn films far differently than in mainstream and art-house films. "There may be something akin to vicarious gratification in watching movie sex, but it doesn't work in the same way as hardcore pornography works," he explains. "In the former, you know the people you are watching are (in most cases) not actually doing it, yet you might imaginatively care for them; in the latter, you know they really are doing it, but you don't care for them." Despite a spike in social conservatism over the past few years, filmgoers seem to be tolerating and in many cases, welcoming more sex on screen, both in adult-oriented movies and those designed for younger audiences. A Harvard School of Public Health study of 1,906 films found there has been significantly more sex in PG and PG-13 movies in recent years, with researchers noting that ``today's PG-13 movies are approaching what R movies looked like in 1992.'' Charles Coletta, who teaches film studies at Ohio's Bowling Green State University, says the participation of A-list celebrities in sexually explicit films is helping legitimize the trend for mainstream tastes. As an example, he points to "America's sweetheart" Julia Roberts' turn in 2004's Oscar-nominated film Closer, in which the actress enthusiastically and in some detail describes performing oral sex on a lover. "People were complaining about sex being unrealistic before. Now (the complaint is that) it's too realistic," says Coletta. "But movies and television have to compete with everything else that's out there. You have sex at your fingertips on the computer." Peter Keough, author of Flesh and Blood: The National Society of Film Critics on Sex, Violence, and Censorship, says although the envelope is being pushed, there has yet to be a watershed moment for realistic sex on screen.

"Unfortunately, the films that have been coming out have relied on sex as a special effect,"

"Unfortunately, the films that have been coming out have relied on sex as a special effect," observes Keough, a movie critic for the past 25 years. "I don't think they've succeeded as films as much as provocations." The problem is twofold, he says. First, the Hollywood studio system has not fully accepted the possibility that audiences will tolerate realistic sex on the big screen. And second, the studio system might be right to hesitate A four-year study released in June by the Dove Foundation, an American advocacy group, found G-rated films which consistently outperform their R-rated counterparts have in fact become 11 times more profitable. "People find it difficult to go into a movie theatre and watch sex being taken seriously," explains Keough. "If it's injected with camp or comedy, I think they find it much more palatable." According to Will Miller, a psychotherapist at Indiana's Purdue University, it's that audience ambiguity which stems from arousal being ``the most unique and anecdotal experience in humanity'' that's making the depiction of sex in the movies especially difficult. ``Filmmakers had it easier when they had to work within artistic limits,'' he says. ``(Sex is) an area that very few people can handle deftly.'' But if any generation is open to seeing the boundaries pushed, he believes it's the younger one. "People have been acclimated to looking at really graphic images," says Miller. "So it's not surprising that there has been some increase in the ability of people especially young people to tolerate stuff that would repel their parents and make their grandparents pass out.", wrote so correctly  Mitty Harris.
