NUDISTS have issued a "no overt sex" edict for unofficial nude beaches in response to a rising backlash over public sex and swingers parties.
The Australian Nudists Foundation, in a website launched yesterday, has published guidelines of appropriate behaviour for naturists.
The website also lists legal and unofficial nude beaches, affiliated resorts and a calendar of events such as naked tenpin bowling and the nude olympics.
It comes amid a stoush between nudists over the adverse publicity surrounding a month-long orgy at a controversial north Queensland nudist colony.

ANF secretary Paul Brown said they wanted to show a new public face.

"Naturists enjoy social nudity, but like everyone else they keep their sex life private," he said.

They felt it important to issue guidelines for novices about appropriate behaviour.

"Many people erroneously believe that our lifestyle has sexual overtones, that couldn't be further from the truth, and we constantly have to remind people that we do nothing naked that you don't do fully clothed."

He said the website featured full frontal nudity, but was not pornographic.

 "If you are a long-term nudist or just curious about trying public nudity for the first time, have a look.

"Don't worry, you won't encounter overt sex or swinging at any ANF affiliated club."
