Whenever the discussion turns to nudism — ahem — I recall an episode of the old "Bob Newhart Show" where Bob is to give a lecture at what turns out to be a nudist camp. The director — buck naked — is seated behind a desk in a big leather chair.
Bob asks: "Don't you stick to your chair?"
And speaking of sticky situations involving nudists (sorry!):
Last week, our newsroom got an interesting email from Kai Luckan of Tampa. He, his wife and their 5-year-old daughter were visiting St. Lucie County and decided to spend New Year's Day at Blind Creek Beach.
Which, if you didn't know, is a nude beach.
Well, not officially; the county has never formally designated Blind Creek Beach as a "clothing optional" beach and there are no county signs identifying it as such. Visitors and folks from the Treasure Coast Naturists have used the beach sans "textiles" since 2014.
They tout its "family-friendly" atmosphere. Which is to say, sometimes there are nude kids on the beach, along with their parents. It's never been a big deal.
It turned into one New Year's Day when Luckan said his family was approached by a St. Lucie County Sheriff's deputy who said he'd gotten a complaint about Luckan's daughter — and the family had to leave.
"He said it was an adult-only beach," said Luckan.
Luckan and his wife offered to cover up the girl. No dice; the deputy insisted they had to go.
Later, in talking to others who frequent the beach, Luckan learned there are often kids there.
"We consider the deputy's action as an embarrassing harassment in violation of our civil rights," said Luckan in his email. He said he might sue.
There will be no lawsuit after St. Lucie County officials conceded the deputy was wrong.
At Blind Creek Beach, said St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara, the mere presence of nude kids in proximity to nude adults isn't a crime unless it's accompanied by something else — like lewd and lascivious behavior.
"Of course, our duty is to protect the children in our community," said Mascara, "and our deputies err on the side of child welfare, whenever in doubt."
Nonetheless, "we are distributing additional training materials to our deputies to ensure a fun and safe day at the beach for all who enjoy it, in whatever manner they choose to do so," he said.
In fact, said Nelson Jones, president of the Treasure Coast Naturists, decorum is a big deal at Blind Creek Beach.
"We're hyper-aware of what is considered naturist etiquette," said Jones. Behavior guidelines are listed on the group's website. First and foremost, "Apply the golden rule. Your nude beach conduct should be the same as your textile world conduct."
No gawking. No photographing others without their permission, especially where kids are involved.
And, the website mentions this twice: "Public sexual activity is inappropriate and illegal."
"We’re aware of potential gawkers," said Jones. "We notice them; we curb it," he said.
The whole idea is the group is merely a bunch of law-abiding citizens who just like to shed those "textiles" every now and then.
I asked Luckan: Don't you get a little nervous letting your daughter run around nude in front of a bunch of strangers?
Not at all. He was born in Europe, where "naked children on the beach — at least 'til the age of 6 or so — is the standard situation."
"If there are people on the beach committing illegal activities, its the job of the Sheriff's Office to prevent or prosecute these," he said. "But its not the solution to kick — as a precaution — the 'potential victim' off the beach."
Yet I can't shake the notion that where you have a beach with naked kids, you're not only going to attract those who want to live freely and practice body acceptance — but also those who come to see the show.
Child porn is illegal; images of naked children on a computer can get you sent to jail, and rightfully so.
Yet one can go to a "family-friendly" nude beach and get an eyeful of the exact same thing.
Unless you make a spectacle of yourself, law enforcement can't lay a glove on you.
That creeps me out, sorry. I get why the deputy did what he did, even if he was wrong to do it.
Understand what I'm NOT saying: That the naturists are doing anything wrong, or that law enforcement should be keeping "potential victims" off the beach.
To me, letting your kid wander around naked in front of a bunch of people you don't know seems a tad ... unwise.
In this day and age, I'd rather be too paranoid than not paranoid enough.

Families in affluent Hollywood Hills are angry people are openly drinking and having sex on a campsite that has opened in their community.
Advertised through the Airbnb website, it is advertised as a "camping retreat," but sits in middle of a multimillion dollar neighborhood. For the cost of $40 per night people get a tent, spectacular views and are within short walking distance of the Hollywood sign.
However people living in the well-heeled locale are unhappy at the way renters are behaving during their stays, with fornication and other undesirable behavior taking place within view of the surrounding mansions.
"People (are) buck naked, people doing sex out in the open. Drinking," resident and father Sanjeeb Kumar said. "(Happening on) our own backyard, it's scary. (We are) scared to come out."
"I think it's really hard when a lot of us have children and we are driving by and the kids see strange things and ask, 'Why is that going on there?'" a fellow neighbor said.
There are also concerns that an uncontrollable fire could be sparked as campers have been seen smoking, even though a sign in front of the property, which is surrounded by dry brush, says it is not allowed.
"We have a major drought situation, that could take the whole hillside and take the houses with it," a resident said.

Two tents were pitched when NBC4 visited the site Wednesday. The person living in the house next to the campsite called police rather than respond to requests for a comment. According to the campsite listing campers can use the mansion's bathrooms during their stay.
Neighbors are hoping to have the campsite closed down, and are working to have the city check for any possible zoning violations.

My Daughters And I Love Being Naked Together — And It's No Big Deal
By Lorraine Ladish — Written on Oct 23, 2020
I have no qualms walking around being naked around my kids.
We even take showers together if we're pressed for time.
My girls are now 14 and 11, but we've taken baths together since they were born.
I was raised in Spain, a country where nudity in beaches and pools is normal.
But this doesn't mean we'd do it just anywhere.
Now that we're a blended family and because we live in the U.S., I tell my girls to cover up when walking around the house and, of course, I do the same.
(There is such a thing as common sense.)
If I were with my father-in-law or with my husband's employer, of course I'd wear a top.
Otherwise, I'm happy to report my girls and I are comfortable enough with our bodies that, given the chance, we'll quickly undress and enjoy a wonderful sense of freedom.
If we had the chance to lounge around in a beach in Europe, we'd be quite comfortable going topless.
In Spain you can see toddlers running around the beach naked and nobody bats an eye.
Girls don't wear bikini tops until they really need to for support, and maybe not even then.
Are there oglers and rapists behind a bush ready to pounce?
Well no, not really. I'm sure men look but when there are so many breasts to gaze at, it's just not that big of a deal.
The human body is a beautiful thing , and yes, there's a time and place for everything.
But breastfeeding in public or baring your breasts at the beach doesn't need to be sexualized.
In Scandinavia, families hang out together naked in the sauna or the jacuzzi.
My eldest was very aware of this difference between Spain and the United States even as a little girl.
So up until she started puberty, she wore her hair in a bob and went to the beach or the pool wearing boy's swimming trunks.
Most of the time she'd be mistaken for a boy, but sometimes people asked. I would say, "Yeah, she's a girl."
She was, of course, as flat-chested as a boy.
This whole deal of wearing swimming trunks came about after she was told at 4 years old to wear a top at a public pool — at four years old!
I remember asking the pool manager why my daughter had to cover up because she didn't even have breasts. He said it was a rule.
Well, unless you find a way around it, when in Rome ...
I'm glad my daughter did find a way around it: boy's swimming trunks. And for that, I'm proud of her.
