Miniten
Did you know there was a sport created by nudists? Miniten is a version of tennis invented in the 1930s at naturist clubs in England. The court that it's played on is smaller than a standard tennis court, because the naturist clubs often did not have enough land to make full-sized tennis courts.
Instead of using a tennis racquet, miniten players use a wooden box called a thug that fits around the hand.
Standard tennis balls are used, and the rest of the rules are similar to tennis.
In 1966 a group of naturists in the south of England formed the Amateur Miniten Association of Great Britain to formalize the rules of the game.
Like tennis, miniten can be played by singles ...
or doubles.
Here, a guy named Carl grabs a smoke during a miniten break.
Above is a photo of some British miniten players with a trophy that they won. Wait a minute – this is this the Unashamed Male website, not the Unashamed Female. Well, let me do a little Photoshop editing ...
There, that's better. Congrats to our miniten winners!

wooden box called thug, instead of rackets is quite impressive!
Who knew!
Oh, ***those*** kinds of balls. 😉
Hey, we can handle the occasional naked woman.
SHAME ON YOU!!! First of all I don't approve of Photoshopping, and second, the unashamed male is not ashamed to be naked around females, whether the females are naked or clothed. I had seen the word 'miniten' before, but you explained it, thanks.
I don't get the miniten at all.
Okay to have the ladies. Learned of a sport of which I had no idea. Thanks.
