Naked Sunbathing OK, Even for Ugly People
- Share via
Most Italians think nude sunbathing is perfectly natural and don’t mind crossing paths with bottomless beachgoers -- even when those bottoms are unsightly, a new survey found.
Topless sunbathing is common in Italy, but bottoms are usually required. The Italian Naturalist Federation, which wants more nude beaches, said a poll it commissioned from a mainstream media outlet found nearly 70% of respondents would sunbathe nude if everyone else did it.
As for ugly sunbathers, only 16% said they were vexed by unattractive women nudists; 9.7% objected to unsightly men.
