By now, most people are familiar with Facebook's zero tolerance for nudity--and the targets of these policies are not what some may think. Family photos of new mothers breastfeeding their babies, art work, nudists, and nudist businesses have all had their photos deemed offensive by Facebook and removed from the site. In addition, Facebook has issued warnings and shut down pages for non-compliance. Other social media sites, such as YouTube, follow suit.

The New Yorker cartoons are not immune to Facebook's anti-nudity stance. Neither is famed photographer Spencer Tunick, who was recently invited to submit photos of his art to Facebook, prior to posting, for approval after Facebook continued to take some of his photos down, froze his account, and occasionally threatened him with the deletion of his page.

According to an article in The Village Voice, all six photos submitted to Facebook by Tunick earlier this month were deemed objectionable.

Our latest feature onAANR.com is the interactive Ask Dr. Sam.

Visitors to the AANR website are invited to ask Dr. Sam health questions, which he will answer, and the question and answer will be posted to the Web page.

Every season Cedar Trails Nudist Retreat has a February event that is in its sixth season, "The Nudely Wed Game." You may not be old enough to remember the TV show but Cedar Trails has its own show.   

 

Do you think you know your partner?  Members and visitors soon find out as participants answer the questions.  The couples are brought to the game by a golf cart parade, introductions are made and the games begin.  An Anniversary Party follows the games.  Each year couples are ready to sign up.  If you are interested in participating next year or just joining in on the laughs check out the webpage and mark your calendars to save the weekend.
