No “down under” jokes
Australians in general seem to be more willing to doff their duds than Americans, and South Australians especially so:
The online nudity poll — run by realholidays.com.au — placed the [Northern] Territory in third position for nuding up, tied with Tasmania. South Australia — where 76 per cent of respondents said they loved going naked — came out on top, followed by Queensland.
And at the other end, so to speak?
The biggest prudes of the nation were those bunch of bureaucrats in the ACT at a mere 33 per cent, followed by rigid Victorians at just under half.
And this startled me:
The revealing poll also showed more than half of nudists across the nation were between 18-35 years, and women were more likely than men to strip down to the bare essentials.
In the US, however, it seems that they’re all guys in their late fifties.
(Disclosure: I am a guy whose late fifties will be here before I know it.)
