For the last couple of years, the good folks over at Buck Naked in Public (BNIP) have gone beyond their usual offering of photos and videos of clothes-free men in a variety of public places. These days they are also sponsoring a series of "Nude Ins," events to encourage group public nudity in their home city of San Francisco. Their second Nude In, held last September in the Castro Commons plaza at the corner of Castro and Market Streets, drew a naked crowd of nearly 60, thanks in part to a viral Internet announcement and some unintended publicity that grew out of pending legislation by a city council member hoping to put limits on the behavior of public nudists.
The gathering also drew plenty of media attention, and the event was covered by the New York Times, ABC, CBS, Fox News, and numerous other news organizations, both written and broadcast. To see BNIP's own coverage of the event, check out their free-access Nude In 924 sample video.
I'm pleased to report that Nakedism was also present for that event, where we rubbed naked elbows with textile-free men (and even one woman) of all ages and shapes. Also in attendance were Nakedism blogger Marc Alderman as well as our photographer-in-residence, Andrew Adam Caldwell. Between the two of them, they produced a considerable volume of photographic coverage.
Fortunately, you can get a taste of that collection by checking out this month's photo set. The images there will give you some idea just how easy — and entertaining — it can be to shed your clothes with dozens of other souls and have a naked good time.
