[ 2009-07-06 14:08 ]

据英国自然主义基金会称,因气温连日在30摄氏度以上,联络其名下阳光俱乐部和裸体海滩的人数从之前的每周2,000人迅速升至每周12,000人。该基金会发言人表示,上述增幅主要来源于想要把全身都晒成古铜色的年轻女性。这一发现着实有些让人意外,因为女性在这方面通常都比较害羞。

Britons are flocking in record numbers to nudist colonies in to get all-over body tans with enquiries rising 600 per cent since the heatwave began.

Britons are flocking in record numbers to nudist colonies in to get all-over body tans with enquiries rising 600 per cent since the heatwave began.

The British Naturism Foundation said the number of people contacting its sun clubs and nudist beaches rose from 2,000-a-week to 12,000 as temperatures rose to more than 86F (30C).

"It's been staggering, much more than the usual levels of interest we get," said spokesman Andrew Welch. "And the rise is mainly through women wanting that perfect tan, particularly the younger generation.

It's certainly a really surprising response, especially from women who normally tend to be more shy about getting their clothes off.

"But it's a perfectly natural thing - we're happy to welcome them along. The tanning aspect of naturism isn't new as for years we've been welcoming people who want to do away with the white lines."

Mr Welch said the stigma of nudism still was being reduced by a shift in cultural taboos and open-mindedess about the body image.

"Of course many people still think there is some sort of erotic thrill behind the reason to get naked. And you'll be surprised by how liberating couples say it is when they strip off."

Melanie Chandler, 34, from Tunbridge Wells, said she has recently embraced the idea of nude camping with a visit to Studland beach in Dorset.

"It was very relaxed and most people who go along are professional couples who just want to chill out and have a good time. What's wrong with showing off our bodies anyway? It's how nature intended as they say."

The Invicta Sun Club, near Dover in Kent is just one of the many woodland 'sun clubs' which seen a rise in enquiries over the last week.

David Shaw, spokesman for the club, said: "It's certainly gone up and it's no surprise that nationally the numbers are on the rise.

"On days likes these what could be nicer than stripping off and jumping naked into a nice cold pool."
