Rolling the dice

Any given random sexual encounter is only partly about the will, and the chemistry, of the participants. In equal part it owes its success to the roll of some erotic cosmic dice. What if, for example, my first partner and I had not been in the same bar at the same time on the night we met? We might never have spent the next 15 years together as we did.

The Internet increases the odds of equally attracted bodies encountering each other, but is just as likely to increase frustration, since those parties are much more likely to be further apart and unable to meet.

In the sex club scene, Lady Luck has been both with me and against me. I have been in bathhouses when it seemed like I couldn't get a soul to notice me. Other occasions, there were so many attractive men interested in me, I didn't have time to play with everyone who was interested in me.

In this week's true sex story, I recall one of those lucky occasions when I was in one of San Francisco's most popular sex clubs, Blow Buddies, when it was filled with attractive men who seemed to be as willing to play with me as I was with them. It was an intensely joyous evening. But even that charmed night had at least one disappointment.

For the full scoop, go there now, and read about the night is still Blowing my mind.

Discovering Drew

Nakedism is proud to introduce a hot new showoff to our members, the very sexy Drew. Our talent scouts met Drew in the most unlikely of circumstances — showing off on the hiking trail! A true exhibitionist, aspiring model, and newcomer to amateur vids, Drew was all too happy to get naked for our cam and share a little (actually a lot!) of himself with Nakedism.com members.

Although appearing indoors for this early test video, Drew is a true nature lover, devoted outdoorsman, and hiker. He's already got a hard-on to expose himself to nature and celebrate the world of self expression and exhibition for all to see (including his hiking buddies!)

Want to join in the fun? We're always looking for sexy guys who are willing to show it all for the camera. Just drop us a line on our Contacts page and let us hear more about you.

But for now, head on over to our Video department and see how Drew gets off.

A visit to Cock Rock

What could be more enjoyable — and appropriate, really — than going naked on a warm day at the beach? Even many people who would never get naked in public agree that nude swimming feels very natural. For those of us with a little more sense of adventure, a place like Oregon's Rooster Rock State Park, allows one — quite legally — to roam for long distances without a stitch of clothing.

To be able to walk through a forest, along a beach, or other places, far from any clothing or covering, has always been a thrill for me. There is something sensuously vulnerable about not being able to cover oneself even if one wanted to. And part of the fun of the Rooster Rock beach is the chance of running into others who feel the same way — or who at least enjoy the simple pleasures of being bare in the great outdoors.

In this week's story, I recall one such visit to this impressive state park and recount the discoveries I made when I ventured off the beach and wandered naked through the woods.

If you have ever enjoyed such a location, or simply wanted to, then check out Visit to Cock Rock, newly posted in our True Sex Stories department.

Haunt pursuit

With the advent of October come brightly colored leaves, warm sweaters, and a farewell to summer leisure. But for the gay community, it also brings one of the most popular holidays of the year, Halloween. Gay culture in particular revels in creative costume, from simple cross-dressing to elaborate garb worthy of Hollywood itself. Indeed, some people believe that today's popularity of Halloween among adults was started by gay culture itself.

For the nudist or exhibitionist, Halloween also provides an opportunity to appear in public in less clothing than society would normally demand, to see how much skin one can show or how provocative one can be. For adults, Halloween candy has been replaced with eye candy.

A few years back I experimented with something of a gladiator look. Antiquarians will point out the anachronisms, including, for example, a Spartan helmet instead of one befitting a Roman gladiator. But of course I was more interested in making history than teaching it.

With the aid of friend and photographer Andrew Caldwell, I showed off my minimal costume in his studio, on the street, and at a couple of gay bars, winning the "sexiest costume" prize at one of them. Seattle drag queen Sylvia O'Stayformore (dressed in a flawless Star Trek uniform) presented me with the prize package.

It's all recorded in this month's photo set Load Warrior, now available in our photos department. Check it out. Then drop us a line below telling us what your sexiest costume was — or will be.
