Davis contracted with Doubleday in 1969 to write a novel about two women who, in search of something missing in their lives, attend a "nude encounter workshop." As part of her research, Davis spent 20 hours at the Los Angeles center where Bindrim pioneered the "nude marathon," a therapy in which participants strip naked to gather in a pool, where they spend long periods talking and touching.
