Swedes Shed Hangups at Nudist B&B

Share

(Newser) – It’s quaint, relatively cheap, breakfast is included in the price, and oh yes, everyone’s naked. Welcome to Hylteberga gård, one of the first naturist bed and breakfasts in Europe. Helena Frith Powell of the UK Times took a holiday there, and found it a tad … distracting, especially at meal times. “I am not used to being sandwiched between two naked bodies while I tuck into a plate of sausages.”

Sweden also seems like an odd place for such a get-away. “Doesn’t wandering around naked in midwinter get a little bit chilly?” she wonders, “And, particularly if you’re a bloke, wouldn’t that decrease your chances of making new friends?” But other guests seem to enjoy themselves. “You’re free,” proclaims one, flinging his arms wide and showing more than seems strictly necessary.

It is a sad fact that naturist resorts seldom attract those to whom Nature has been kindest. - Helena Frith Powell

Even if you don’t mind getting your kit off, doesn’t wandering around naked in midwinter get a little bit chilly? And, particularly if you’re a bloke, wouldn’t that decrease your chances of making new friends? - Helena Frith Powell

Some study somewhere said Swedes were the worst lovers in the world. Not sure how you can measure something like that.
