The last photo in the "boobs" category looks like a mother and daughter, and I just wanted to point out that skin-contact hugs and cuddles as pictured there are massively beneficial, e.g for bonding and self-image, but I think a lot of non-nudists overlook this. (Maybe they're uncomfortable with that level of closeness)
So take this as a PSA to give your loved ones a hug today, even if it's a naked one! Nudity doesn't have to be sexual.
Okay I am impressed they got the Sonoma community in there I was convinced they would have missed them and I was going to use that as my well acktually
Checked out the book on Internet Archives (linked in comments).
It all seems so nostalgic and free-spirited now. Was way before my time, but I've been to a few of those beaches. So many of them are so conventional now. Guessing people are way more uptight, but maybe also cognizant of the risks of skin cancer.
Bonus: 2/3 of the way in, a surprising amount of copy was spent on technical aspects of nude photography.
Nothing wrong with the name - I just thought it was humorous to dedicate a book filled with boobs to your dad (who passed 20 years before the book was even published).

Whenever I see dates like this I do the math in my head almost on reflex.
Man, dad died at 43, that must have been heartbreaking. Makes me wonder about the story behind the author.

I wonder how out-of-date any information would be in that book. All of it?
ickplant@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 205d
It was published in 1985, so probably most of it is out of date. But the boobs are top notch - see my other comment for pics.
Edit: my husband plans on selling it for $20 on eBay. So we get to see boobs and make a profit. Win win.
Edit #2: It’s apparently not worth much. So it’s trash now.
If you want to check how accurate it is, you can do some googling:

You can't say boobs and then not post them

They're hoarding the boobs for profit. What a sad world we live in 😢

'preview only. Borrow with free account' 'borrow unavailable' They are teasing me.
rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 204d
I think that means someone else has it borrowed, and you'll have to wait until they... finish.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 204d

I doubt a bikini is going to do a lot of protection against skin cancer..

"To Pa, who taught me to appreciate a good titty".

Unexpected would be if it was dedicated to his Mom. His Dad must have been super proud.
NullPointerException@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 205d
I don’t get it. What’s the issue with the name?
