Gay Naked Gatherings Information

This gaynaturism page is revised a bit every few weeks or months as needed. This version: 2 June 2004.

Gay naturism is booming! You can now spend 4 to 10 days in a row totally naked, totally surrounded by totally naked guys just like you, every month for five months in a row -- and twice in May! Wow!! Who woulda thought?!??

All of these gatherings have over a hundred naked guys for you to feast your eyes upon -- and some have many, many more. All of them have at least five days and four nights of nekkid fun -- and some have many, many more.

Gay naturism is doing so well that smaller and more specialized gatherings have been popping up all over the place. Several gatherings take place now with under a hundred guys, and you can even square dance naked at any of five different special events. A gay nude cruise scheduled in early June has already sold out as of January!

"So, Jim" -- I hear you asking -- "I've never been to one of these before. Which one should I attend?"

The answer: Whichever one you want! The gatherings summarized on this page are all more similar than different:

All naked all the time (weather permitting). All men, no women. Sleep in cabins on the premises. Meals, drinks, and entertainment included. Food is adequate but not restaurant/gourmet. Cost is approx. 50 - 100 dollars per night. Nude swimming, dancing, other programs. Moderate alcohol; no drugs; almost no smoking.

Everyone is friendly. Everyone bonds, more deeply than you imagine. Scores or hundreds of attendees. Sex is accommodated... But it's not an orgy, nor an orgy atmosphere. Amazing creativity and talent everywhere. A wide range of ages and body "types". You've never seen anything like it!

Some of the Gatherings have somewhat better food than others. Some have a slightly older crowd than others. Some permit a bit more sexual openness than others. Some have sleeping cabins which are a bit nicer. Some have a higher percentage of tent campers. Some have decorations or events which are more awe-inspiring. Some last a few days longer. But in truth...I don't think you can go wrong attending any of these Gatherings -- and that's a statement made on the basis of my experience attending over 20 of them! I had a ball each and every time. I met wonderful people at each and every one. I was "high" -- without alcohol or drugs -- every day at every single one. I still correspond with people from every single one. I am glad that I went to all of them. And I expect that you will be, too!

So look at the chart below and see if any of them tickles your fantasy. Go to the one that's closest to you. Or that is attended by people you know. Or is the most spectacular. Or the least expensive. Take off your clothes and enjoy!

Note: The wider you can make this window, the better-looking the table will be.

* Extremely arbitrary rating scale: 1 = forbidden; 5 = accepted but not really approved; 10 = orgy. Yes, all of these Gatherings are, by the standards of modern gay men, on the lower half of the overt-sexuality scale.
** I hate websites that give you music whether you asked for it or not! Pity the poor fellow who is surfing at work and panics trying to shut the sound off before anyone notices... Happily, the site which had the most obnoxious music has removed it. The site which added music recently allows volume control through a thingie at the bottom of the page.

Disclaimer

I am NOT an official of ANY of the groups described here. I am just a normal, lowly member of some of them -- like hundreds and hundreds of other happily nude gay guys -- and I have attended at least one of most of their events. Even though my sites have so many pictures of these Gatherings, remember that they and I have no official connection to any of the sponsoring groups. Similarly, this page is not an officially approved project of any of these gaynaturism groups.

A proud member of...
