You will begin shivering, which will reduce blood flow to the periphery which is all the nerves that lie outside of the central nervous system, controlling sensory and motor fibers. You will then be at a risk of hypothermia which in severe cases, may lead to death. My next retro Second life photo from the Coco Reserve Sim :)) It is big retro style Sim, decorated like a small beach town in 50s style. But also here you can visit big Disco club and swimming pool in Ancient Roman style. This town has a gym, cute little retro shops and a beach.

With the beginning of the 20th century, resorts for the middle class were established, a transition which was at odds with male nudity. This was dealt with by having separate male and female bathing areas, but these became difficult to enforce. In the 1910s, mixed gender bathing began, and became actual swimming away from shore rather that wading. Female beach attire became "semi-nude" by the standard of prior years, exposing women's arms and legs. [34] United States [ edit ]

The widespread acceptance of naturism in many European countries has led to legal recognition of clothing-optional swimming in locations open to the public. After a brief period of popularity in the 1960s–1970s of public " nude beaches" in the United States, acceptance is declining, confining American nude swimming generally to private locations.

Yentl, a 1983 American film directed, co-written, co-produced by, and starring Barbra Streisand is based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's story "Yentl: The Yeshiva Boy".
