French Nightclubs Burned Down in War Between Swingers and Nudists; France Surrenders

Some stories are just too easy:

One of Europe’s most famous nudist colonies has become the subject of an unusual investigation by French detectives after the destruction of three nightclubs in fires blamed on naturist "hardliners."

The normally peaceful Cap d’Agde, a magnet for nudists in the south of France, has been plunged into anxiety as investigators suspect "fundamentalist" nudists of harboring a grudge against the échangistes, or swingers, who are drawn to the town by the promise of sex.

A so-called boîte échangiste — or wife-swapping club — called Glamour, where couples engage in group sex, was the first to be destroyed in April. The next day, the Palme Ré, another orgy venue, also went up in flames. In September, the Tantra club and Zen, its neighboring bar, were leveled in blazes.

No one was hurt but the fires have shocked a community whose crime rate has been dominated until now by cases of exhibitionism.

Tensions have risen between the naturists, who believe that nudity is a healthy choice of lifestyle and nothing to do with sex, and the échangistes, who are attracted to nudist camps by the prospect of multiple partners.

So, from what the article says, and what my sources who would know about such things are saying, the naturists are the people that say nudity and sex have nothing to do with one another. These are the people who become nudists because it's the only way anyone will ever look at them naked. The swingers, meanwhile, are greedy. They want lots of sex with lots of different people. But at least they realize that nudity and sex tend to go together better than, say, nudity and taking a trip to the corner bar.

So basically the ugly nudists are terrorizing the greedy swingers' night clubs. And the cops are unable to stop naked people from committing these crimes.  You can almost hear the conversation between the police.

"Hey, what's that hideously deformed naked dude doing carrying all that dynamite?"

"Must be going bar-hopping again."

Did I even have to mention that this took place in France?

And how much fun did the author of this piece have writing it? Naturist "hardliners"? Too funny.

Who knew Ted Kennedy was a nudist?
