Sydney - A top Australian nudist resort got into a tangle with its clientele Friday over plans that the tropical north Queensland property announced for a month-long naked orgy in March.

Nudist Federation President Lindsay Parkyns described the adults- only Port Douglas bash as a "recipe for disaster," drawing a response from White Cockatoo Resort owner Tony Fox that the group was full of "prudie nudies" with "penis envy."

"The fact it's almost fully booked out is proof there's a desire for a product like this," Fox said.

A prohibition on blatant partner-swapping imposed three years ago has been revoked in the wake of the global economic slowdown.

"Tough times call for stiff measures," Fox said. "It'll be a hedonism resort where anything goes for a month."

The White Cockatoo, which operates as a nudist-only resort in the southern hemisphere summer, risks a boycott from Parkyns and other "prudie nudies," complaining that a four-week sex romp sends the wrong message.

"This is going to fly in the face of years of campaigning," Parkyns said. "We try to get beaches to be clothes-optional, but unfortunately that attracts the wrong sort of people
- particularly single guys looking for sex - and the (resort orgy) will keep reinforcing that problem." (dpa)
