You voted for it and here it is, a podcast about nudity in Germany.
In this episode, I’ll be talking about how the German sensibilities regarding the naked body as well as in what situations and circumstances where it might confront you in your visit to Germany. I do not take a moral stand here, as I think that is the purview of others, but I do try to sensitize you to the fact that perceptions are different in Germany as compared to yours.
Here are a few interesting articles that give you some of the historical-cultural background to the German predilection for nudity:
- Nude in Germany, a brief discussion of German nudist beaches and the nudist movement
- Why German Nudists are Worried, an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal about the East German Nudist Clubs, yesterday and today.
- Get Naked with the Germans, an articel by der Spiegel, one of German’s widely read weekly magazines
