Nudity in Iceland
When you think of places to go naked, Iceland is probably the last destination to come to mind. Located between Greenland and Scandinavia, this cold country in the North Atlantic Ocean is known for its Polar Nights in winter when there is barely any sunlight during the day. Nudity is legal in Iceland, so it's not uncommon to see people skinny-dipping or tanning topless here. But you may want to brush up on the country's cultural norms before you strip down. Despite the cooler weather in Iceland , this destination offers many hot springs and rural locations where you can be naked, and there are swimming areas in all regions of the country. However, there are no official nude beaches aka clothes-free beaches or dedicated nudist locations in Iceland, and that's definitely something to keep in mind. Note that the spas in and around Reykjavik generally do not allow nudity. The same goes for the Blue Lagoon. This is especially useful for nudist groups! There are many public places to swim or take a relaxing dip in Iceland.
Sex in Iceland?
I have noticed that perceptions of sex and nudity in Iceland are a bit odd to some people. So I went out last night with a group of friends and was talking to an English friend of mine that suggested I should write a blog about how open Icelandic people are about sex. This said friend has been to Iceland a couple of times as well as pretty much everywhere else in the world and he was amused when he was there with myself and my Icelandic female friend and we had a conversation, in English so that he could understand, detailing our sex-lives. For me, being Icelandic and female, this is perfectly normal. And because the nation has such an equal approach to men and women this is considered completely normal. Women can do whatever men can do. Why shouldn't they? Now, some people think this means that Icelandic girls are sluts.
