Caliente Splits from AANR

Caliente Resorts has officially split from the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR). Angye Fox, Caliente's public relations director, accuses AANR of being out of touch.

"We've helped them, frankly," she said of AANR. "They haven't changed with the times. We're taking advantage of educating the next generation, the 20- and 30-somethings on social nudism. [AANR] hasn't done a good job of targeting those folks. Young people communicate differently. It's a different world to them. You can't send them a newspaper."

AANR's executive director Erich Schuttauf says his organization has been collecting information about Caliente.

During the investigation, Schuttauf said AANR's board of trustees found it "very troubling" that Angye Fox, Caliente's public relations director, is scheduled to speak at Swingfest 2008, an adult trade show starting this month in Hollywood, Fla. She is scheduled to lead a workshop promoting the co-existence of swingers and nudists.

"We're a family-oriented association," Schuttauf said. "That's very important, and we've been saying that for 75 years. There isn't an awful lot of room for co-existence."

I agree. Merging with the swinger's lifestyle is nudism's death knell.
