Nudist resort owner blasts "prudie nudies"
Nov 14, 2008, 1:12 GMT
Sydney - A top Australian nudist resort got into a tangle with its clientele Friday over plans that the tropical north Queensland property announced for a month-long naked orgy in March.
Nudist Federation President Lindsay Parkyns described the adults- only Port Douglas bash as a 'recipe for disaster,' drawing a response from White Cockatoo Resort owner Tony Fox that the group was full of 'prudie nudies' with 'penis envy.'
'The fact it's almost fully booked out is proof there's a desire for a product like this,' Fox said.
A prohibition on blatant partner-swapping imposed three years ago has been revoked in the wake of the global economic slowdown.
'Tough times call for stiff measures,' Fox said. 'It'll be a hedonism resort where anything goes for a month.'
The White Cockatoo, which operates as a nudist-only resort in the southern hemisphere summer, risks a boycott from Parkyns and other 'prudie nudies,' complaining that a four-week sex romp sends the wrong message.
'This is going to fly in the face of years of campaigning,' Parkyns said. 'We try to get beaches to be clothes-optional, but unfortunately that attracts the wrong sort of people - particularly single guys looking for sex - and the (resort orgy) will keep reinforcing that problem.'

My name is Tom Mulhall. I own The Terra Cotta Inn nudist resort in aunny Palm Springs, CA, USA We definitely are not a swinger resort.
I am saddened to see that the White Cockatoo resort in Australia has had low occupancy this year and has decided that the only way to make a living is to turn their place into a month long orgy.
Here in America, my resort has faced tough times too. However, instead of going the easy, gross, orgy route, we made boring, sensible business decisions like upgrade our pools and jacuzzi into salt water systems, upgrade room linens, upgrade beds to top of the line beds, upgrade our poolside cooling system for the summer and a lot of other upgrades. Thus, this July tripadvisor.com picked us as one of the 10 best nudist resorts in the world (1 of only 2 in the US). We are also having our best year ever. We have many guests from Australia and New Zealand vacation with us. Maybe if the White Cockatoo upgraded their property, they might have gotten a higher repeat guest rate.
We all know that swingers will go anywhere to fornicate. In my opinion the White Cockatoo was just looking for an excuse to become a orgy place again (they were years ago) and get free publicity by saying it. They are not representatives of nudism or nudist resorts.
Viewers do not make a mistake. Nice nudist resorts are not spouse swapping places. And there are nice nudist resorts like ours that are adults only so you don't have to be around noisy kids.
If you want a fun clothes free vacation, choose a nice, safe nudist resort, you will have your best vacation ever if you do.

There is a difference in nudism or naturalism and pornography. Nudism believes in the freedom from the restrictions of clothing, Pornography is for sexual gratification. Naturist looks like you and I and come from all walks of life. You will find it to be a relaxing lifestyle that is free of the daily stress we all experience. Naturist groups like naturistspace.org are looking for people who are open minded and want to enjoy the company of others of a like mind.
I agree with the comments that The White Cockatoo should upgrade the premises. The state of the resort must be putting off lots of return visitors. I wonder if the money made during their month long orgy will go into upgrading the property. Time will tell.Short term gain may result in long term pain as 'non-swinging nudists' stay away for fear of guilt by association. Not helping the nudist cause and I am not a nudie prudie.so there.

A month-long orgy!!
Ah!
To be young again.
Not that I had the experience back then.
Perhaps it might be a way to lose some of that weight! The diets and the walking haven't worked.
Pity there are these extremes.
If Queensland took advantage of its great climate and had legal nude bathing at a number of beaches, then it might be more of a case of: to each his/her own!
Naturism and orgies are as far apart as making babies and going shopping.
People do both and they can decide which.
(O.K.. There was ONE time, when this young woman and I attended a party. At one stage we were all invited to come inside and lie down, on the floor.
That's the time when the young woman I was with, thanked the host and we departed.)
