BOOK DESCRIPTION
In 1929, a small group of men and women threw off their clothes and began to exercise in a New York City gymnasium, marking the start of the American nudist movement. While countless Americans had long enjoyed the pleasures of skinny dipping or nude sunbathing, nudists were the first to organize a movement around the idea that exposing the body corrected the ills of modern society and produced profound benefits for the body as well as the mind. Despite hostility and skepticism, American nudists enlisted the support of health enthusiasts, homemakers, sex radicals, and even ministers, and in the process, redefined what could be seen, experienced, and consumed in twentieth-century America.
Naked gives a vibrant, detailed account of the American nudist movement and the larger cultural phenomenon of public nudity in the United States. Brian S. Hoffman reflects on the idea of nakedness itself in the context of a culture that wrestles with an inherent sense of shame and conflicting moral attitudes about the body. In exploring the social and legal history of nudism, Hoffman reveals how anxieties about gender, race, sexuality, and age inform our conceptions of nakedness. The book traces the debates about distinguishing deviant sexualities from morally acceptable display, the legal processes that helped bring about the dramatic changes in sexuality in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the explosion in eroticism that has increasingly defined the modern American consumer economy. Drawing on a colorful collection of nudist materials, films, and magazines, Naked exposes the social, cultural, and moral assumptions about nakedness and the body normally hidden from view and behind closed doors.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
What is it like to have three wives?
What is it like to have four husbands?
The Westbank Group finds out.
It's all legal, all very real, and it begins when Paul kramcheck attends a lecture on group marriage and discovers that the Charles S. Maywood Foundation of Illinois is willing to sponsor such a venture sicne it feels that monogamy in modern America is a failure.
Paull accepts the idea enthusiastically and he nad his gpretty blonde girlfriend, Carol, set out to do some serious recruiting. The first addition to their menage is Paul's best frend Mike Wolf.
Mike is an easy covert, but he is in love with Nada, who is willing... but only if Bill will come along. Bill is fond enough of Nada, but he doesn't think much of the idea of marrying six other people. The only way to persuade him is to introduce him to the pleasures of group sex in a campaign of seduction worked out by the Maywood Foundation's resident psychologist.
From this point on, the action becomes complex, involving the reader in an experience unique in modern fiction.
This American bestseller reveals the conflict of the future as it deals with life in a seven-person household. What, for instance, will be done about children? What about earning a living? What about the possibility that two of the partners might fall conventionally in love and want to be alone now and then or have exclusive rights to each other? These are all faced and all answered by the Westbank Group in a marriage that is filled with the rapture of a multi-faceted love.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Expanding his investigations, the author spent eighteen months interviewing 136 couples in fourteen colleges in five parts of the United States. He discovered that the couples involved represented all types in the college population, and that the reasons they chose to live together were as varied as the personalities themselves.
Among their reasons for living together, the students listed: the alienation of the student in the multi-versity atmosphere, the conflict of values and the difficulty of communication between students and their parents, the shift from traditional restraints to a more libertarian sex code, the prohibitive cost of education and housing, a way out of the dating rat race," and a better situation for study.
In the body of the book, twelve couples tell their own stories - how they feel about their parents, their new sexual freedom, and the broad sociological impact of their actions. One girl reveals that she is merely tolerating the arrangement until her boyfriend is ready to marry her. Another says she proposed the arrangement to a male acquaintance as a mutual act of social protest and instrument of change.
This book, with its balanced representation of the forces inherent in the college students' rapid accommodation to the widespread pattern, serves a timely and valuable purpose. It siphons off the shock value of the material, thereby helping to prevent any precipitous action. It serves as a guide and provides the basis for an orderly program for further in-depth studies of student cohabitation by psychologists, sociologists, ministers, university guidance counselors, and administrators in colleges and universities across the nation.
