The latest (and my last) Castaways Travel newsletter arrived today, and it is even more swinger-oriented than the previous issue. I would say that at least 50% of the newsletter was devoted to excursions by swinger groups such as: LoveVooDoo, CouplesTouch, Miami Velvet, and Hellians (can't these people even spell correctly?), as well as other groups like PartyNakedBaby who imply it without saying it plainly. They are also offering information on a new Tampa condo development described as "the Premier clothing optional lifestyle entertainment facility in Florida". Maybe I'm over-interpreting, but that word "lifestyle" is a bit of a red flag.
And here is an excerpt from a Trip Report from a Hedonism visitor. It's rather amazing to me that Castaways published this report, which criticises Hedo and Castaways for misrepresentation. I have edited the more graphic sexual descriptions.
" Sex on the Beach – I do not consider myself a prude by any means. I enjoyed the stuff they did like the PJ and toga parties, and the wet t-shirt and man-in-motion contests. (Heck, I was even a participant at one point!) I was also not at all surprised (or concerned) when things “heated up” after dark, especially at the nude hot tub. However, I did NOT expect so much brazenly open sexual activity during the day. Several guests performed a variety of sexual acts both on the beach and at (or in) the pool in broad daylight. To me, this crossed the line between "racy fun" and "sleazy". What offended me about it was not so much that it happened, but that it occurred against claims (according to your website) that there is some sort of “official” resort policy against such open activity. The fact is, resort security staff simply looked on and did nothing as this occurred throughout the week, and entertainment staff actually encouraged things by organizing contests at the nude pool such as best XXXXXXX and best XXXX XXXXXXX. The little blurb on the Castaways website is rather misleading about this; I think you would be better off being honest with potential customers instead of trying to deny that which might drive them away if they knew otherwise."
- -Tom and VealJ have defended Castaways' owners, and for all I know, they are fine upstanding citizens. They can run their business any way the care to. But I defy anyone to read through their newsletter and not conclude that they are shifting their focus away from the naturist/nudist mainstream and are aiming far more toward the swinger market. Res ipsa loquitur.

Even I have to admit that tingling innuendo and sexual overtones are are all over the latest Castaways newsletter in which SuperClubs has risen to the level of the ultimate nudist destination vehicle. A woman wearing aureole patches with tassels? The last time I saw that was with the late Anna Nicole Smith in "Naked Gun 33 1/3."
My only conclusion is that Castaways must feel a majority of the nudist travel money is in "romantic" (and that word can be a euphemism for whatever you'd like) vacations involving plenty of hedonistic lust. One would think after the 10th trip to Hedonism II a couple would tire singing "Big Bamboo" on the catamaran snorkle trip to the caves.
