Fly naked on nudist holiday flight FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German nudists will be able to start their holidays early by stripping off on the plane if they take up a new offer from an eastern German travel firm. Travel agency OssiUrlaub.de said it would start taking bookings from Friday for a trial nudist day trip from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom, planned for July 5 and costing 499 euros ($735).
"It's expensive, I know," managing director Enrico Hess told Reuters by phone. "It's because the plane's very small. There's no real reason why a flight in which one flies naked should be more expensive than any other."
The 55 passengers will have to remain clothed until they board, and dress before disembarking, said Hess. The crew will remain clothed throughout the flight for safety reasons.
"I wish I could say we thought of it ourselves but the idea came from a customer," Hess told Reuters by phone. "It's an unusual gap in the market."
Naturism, or "free body culture" (FKK) as it is known in Germany, was banned by the ****s but blossomed again after the Second World War, particularly in eastern Germany.
"There are FKK hotels where you can go into the restaurants and shops naked, for example," Hess said. "For FKK fans -- not that I'm one of them -- it's nothing unusual."
"I don't want people to get the wrong idea. It's not that we're starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that," he added. "We're a perfectly normal holiday company."
I got a website link too but I'm not sure if this classifies as pronographic material. Unsuitable signature removed. Navgator

I'm not really sure why, but the first thing I thought of when the OP mentioned nude flights was the poor cleaners who have to clean the seats after these people's sweaty crotches have been all over them. Urrrhhhg!

I was up in hell (Berkeley) and I swear I saw a naked guy in the park and he had 3 huge balls... I'm not kidding, it's one of those things you see right out of the corner of your eye and then you can't look away. I still have nightmares to this day

When I first learnt to dive... my first open water dive was off a German Nudist beach. (think it was corsica, or lemnos... somewhere like that)
Was horrible >_<. Mostly. 95% horrible.
Few of them even invited us to have tea with them after we resurfaced. Sigh..

No point. My dad emailed it to me this morning because we find stuff like this HI-larious and I wanted to find out if it was really true.
And yeah the first thing I thought of was eurotrip when they go to a nude beach and theres nothing but out of shape 40ish guys there and they start charging when that girl was getting ready to strip down Unsuitable signature removed. Navgator

Nudity is not much of an issue in Europe, unlike in the USA. For instance, topless sunbathing is quite normal, not forbidden anywhere, and probably more than a quarter of the women on the beaches don't weak any kinds of bras at all. Also, you won't see many men wearing "boxer" type swimsuits either, most are the "bikini" kind. Not only that, but there's plenty of nudist beaches, you don't have to go too far to find one, if that's your kind of thing.
Of course, most nudist beaches don't have people you would LIKE to look at. But that's the whole point, really... nobody gives a damn. You don't go to nudist beaches to oogle other people, you go there because nobody gives a flying crap you're butt-naked. You know, the whole "pink elephant in the livingroom" thing.
P.S. As for the hygene issues... I suppose you are familiar with the concept of "disposable WC covers" in public restrooms. Well, guess what, there's also such a thing as disposable seat covers... and so on.

I live in a coastal resort area, and while I don't think topless bathing is exactly illegal here (though it might violate general "nudity" laws, should anyone care to be offended), I do think boobs on the beach would cause a bit of a ruckus.
But either way, fat men should not be allowed to wear speedoes on the beach. That's just common decency, man. Be reasonable.
As for "disposable WC covers", no, we're not familiar with those here. Do you mean sheets what go over the girlie parts of the toilet? In Japan girls squat over the yucky part of the toilet. Guys can shoot from a distance. Who cares beyond that? ----- TANSTAAFL

You mean you DON'T have stuff like this in public restrooms ? Ok, ok, not the best picture, just one of the first I googled. This one in the pic is the "for kids" version.

People that want to take a dump would be my best bet.

The next day after they start introducing a mandatory IQ test for voting, permission to have children and so on and so forth, I sure would agree with that too

Once I was at a swimming pool in Switzerland trying to find the changing rooms. I reached what seemed to be one, but I couldn't see any sign indicating if it was male or female, until some guy walked out of it - so I went in. But as I was getting ready to leave some older woman came in and started to take her clothes off right in front of me - turns out it was a unisex changing room.
In Spain you'll find topless women all over the beaches (as well as nudity on street / tv advertisements, etc.) but we still keep separate changing rooms for men and women. It's just a cultural thing: I eventually found out that in many northern European countries public nudity is not a big deal at all.

Believe it or not, we generally only see those in the very dirtiest of restroom places. I am proud to have never experienced one. We trust each others' personal hygiene, and you may take from that what you will.

I'm with you in concept, but for one thing: you can't take away a person's right to vote. I might like to for your reasons, but to do so just ruins the whole concept. Every dirty stinky ****-ridden mother****** must be allowed to vote. Because there are too many people who aren't voting.
But guys in speedoes (speedos?) shouldn't be allowed to vote under any circumstance. I'm with you on that. ----- TANSTAAFL

Here it's the other way around The cleanest places usually have them, the dirty ones almost never do.
It's a "comfort" thing, I guess. Even at home, I almost always wash/wipe the toilet seat. Yes, even if I was 100% certain that the last person to have entered/used the bathroom was me. Call it OCD, but hey, that's how most people I know tick too *shrug*.
Quote: you can't take away a person's right to vote. I might like to for your reasons, but to do so just ruins the whole concept. Every dirty stinky ****-ridden mother****** must be allowed to vote. Because there are too many people who aren't voting.
Meh, democracy is waaaay overrated. Seriously. It's just a freaking popularity contest, nothing more, nothing less.
Personally, I'd make voting a privilege, not a right, based on a simple mental reasoning/aptitude/IQ test. Nobody gets the right to vote, they have to register to vote, and take the test (free of charge), ONCE in your entire lifetime. Applying to take the test a second time for any reason would cost a certain combined percentage of your income and assets. Also, make it MANDATORY to vote after you got the "license to vote". With fines first in case no valid excuse is given for lack of voting, or loss of privilege afterwards. You wanted to be able to vote ? Well, keep doing it, or else !
Last but not least, ONE selection SHOULD be mandatory on each ballot, namely "none of the above". All candidates that get a percentage of votes below "none of the above" category are kicked out of all the next rounds for the same election (if any), and this applies in each and every round of the same election, even the final round (first can also be last round too). If in the final round "none of the above" gets the majority vote, a NATIONAL LOTTERY is held out of the entire pool of people that expressed a vote. Yes. Lottery. Eat that

Thanks for that mental image. Please excuse me while i find some mental floss.
As for the nudism, i personally wouldn't do that, but if people feel comfortable with it, i'd say there's nothing wrong with it. Although that nudist flight might be taking things a little far.
