The origin of organized naturism began in Germany. I can't remember the
name of the person who started it -- FKK (FreiKorperKulter). The FKK
still exists today. I have some books and some possible other sources
as well. It might take a few days but I will send and/or post the
information as soon as I can. Meanwhile, you can check with the Usenet
group rec.nude. The current issue of "N" (a publication from The Naturist
Society) has an article concerning anthropology, nakedness, and Africa.
It is a followup to an earlier "N" article concerning an anthropologist,
Ashley Montigue, who apperently was either a naturist himself or at least
naturist friendly.

A discussion in this subject area would be great.
Nudism/Naturism is something that I would like to research someday. My
concern is that I am too close to the subject being a naturist myself.
