...sexual revolution that's killing us," moans Mel, who has been nude nonstop now for 18 years. "The pornographic movies, the topless-bottomless bars, the dirty magazines-they're making nudism in America passé." To show what he means, Mel slips into shower clogs and takes us on a tour of his camp, mercifully letting us keep our pants on.
