The relaxed approach to nudity in Denmark can be a surprise for many newcomers.

It\\u2019s something they\\u2019re often confronted with at the local swimming hall, where a very large and strong attendant insists that they take off their\\xa0entire swimsuit\\xa0and shower thoroughly before going into the pool.

Stripping off in front of strangers is new for a lot of internationals, and some try to place it a larger context of Danish morality.

It hasn\\u2019t been entirely forgotten that Denmark was the first country in the world to legalize pornography in 1967. Some people still think of Denmark as a place where there is easy sex available and a generous display of naked boobs and butts.
