All of us who visit naturist beaches can't help noticing that the average age of naturists is increasing. The young naturists are few and far between. Is this the result of the explosion of social media in the last few years, with associated photos (often PhotoShopped) of beautiful bodies?
There's a theory that young people have become so obsessed by social media that they're unwilling to strip off on the beach, as they think their bodies are less than attractive. How stupid is this? In most cases, they are in far better shape than the old wrinklies (and I include myself in that category!).
My wife & I usually go to Vera Playa in summer, and the beach is very family-friendly so we see lots of Spanish families there (sometimes 3 generations). The younger children are happy to be naked, but many of the older children stay dressed and look at their smartphones. It's worrying.
