Not under our boardwalk, we're naturists

AMSTERDAM — The Dutch Naturists Federation (NFN) has called on the government to set aside certain beaches for people who like to have sex in public. Naturists feel that displays of public sex do not belong on regular nudist beaches, a spokesperson for the NFN said in a radio interview on Wednesday morning.

"Well-meaning naked vacationers" often suffer because of the behaviour of others, he said. "The police often mistake ordinary naturist walkers for a public-sex gathering. They send the naturists on their way or even issue a fine."

Local authorities also close down nudist beaches to displays of public sex and this is unfair, the NFN spokesperson said. The NFN has advised naturists to call the police if they see people having sex in recreational areas that are intended for nudists. A recent study has found that naturism is increasingly popular in the Netherlands. Public sex involving couples and orgies in the open air are also said to a growing phenomenon.

1. Adamites

By the way, the Dutch have a long and illustrious tradition of public nudity:



The above woodcut shows Adamites being rounded up in Amsterdam in the 1600s.

Adamites, or Adamians, were adherents of an early Christian sect (considered heresy by the Roman Catholic church) that flourished in North Africa in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th century. Based probably on a union of certain gnostic and ascetic doctrines, the sect claimed that its members were re-established in Adam and Eve's state of original innocency. Accordingly, they practiced "holy nudism", rejected the form of marriage, which, they said, would never have existed but for sin, and lived in absolute lawlessness, holding that, whatever they did, their actions could be neither good nor bad.

During the Middle Ages the doctrines of this obscure sect, which did not itself exist long, were revived in Europe by the Brethren and Sisters of the Free Spirit and some Taborites in Bohemia. In the Modern Age some English Dissenters practiced the Adamite doctrine.
