Try some new wallpapers for spring

April showers brings May flowers. Or so the saying goes. But here at Nakedism, April is bringing you something sexier. This month we debut three new wallpapers in the usual range of sizes to decorate your computer monitor.

The new backgrounds include a variety of themes, from brightly lit ancient Greek warriors in all their naked glory to public nudity to a leather couple getting in some oral pleasures under cover of darkness. It's a little something for every nakedist fantasy.

To get one of these images, just use the Photos menu to visit our Wallpaper Downloads department. Click the link for the size closest to your own monitor resolution to open the image in a new window. You can then use your browser's menus to save the image file to your computer. After saving, you can use a photo as a desktop background or wallpaper. Refer to the help system for your particular computer operating system for instructions.

New wallpaper files will be added in the future, so check back from time to time. The Wallpaper Downloads are only available to registered members.

Bare in the bathroom

Naked dares are often thought of as an outdoor sport. After all, what could be riskier than being outside the shelter of any building in a place where the public can come and go freely? The only problem with outdoor dares is that many of us live in places where winter weather makes being naked outdoors not only less risky (because fewer people are out in the cold), but less fun and even ill advised.

But of course the public at large still frequents many indoor places where nudity is traditionally out of place. The risk can be higher, but with cautious selection and planning, the daring nakedist can still thrill to experiencing unclothed adventure in an unexpected setting.

Such was the case with a dare I was asked to perform a few months ago, involving not just nudity, but full on masturbation in a public restroom. Admittedly, I took something of the easy way out, choosing a one-person bathroom rather than a large one with multiple stalls. But any act of naked masturbation is still not without its risk, even in a bar where I performed the dare. Because of liquor laws, many bars are extra careful to crack down on lewd behavior.

How did it turn out? See for yourself in our latest addition to Naked Dare Theatre, where you can see Restroom strip and stroke. Feel free to stroke along with!

The morning wood after

Photographers of the nude figure are often drawn to setting their models in ruined buildings, empty factories, abandoned warehouses, and the like. The reasons are pretty clear: Placing a naked person against such a backdrop confronts the viewer with a host of sharp contrasts — lifeless shapes versus breathing biology, angular edges versus soft curves, hard surfaces versus supple flesh, rough textures versus smooth skin; impenetrable steel versus vulnerable nakedness, and more.

But beyond the artistic, sensual, and visual impact, there is the fantasy of living out those contrasts: What if, for example, you awoke to a post apocalyptic world where you were the last soul alive? How would it feel to be walk among the ruins of humanity naked and exposed? What would it be like to stroll nude through streets and buildings in a world that previously required you to be covered up? And what if clothing wasn't even an option — how would it feel if all semblance of apparel had been swept away with the rest of humanity? Would you feel vulnerable or empowered? Afraid or aroused? Or maybe all of those at once?

This month's
photo set explores
the balls-out antithesis
of exposing naked flesh
to a hard-edged
world.

Those are some of the concepts and sensations I explored with photographer Andrew Adam Caldwell a few years ago in some of Seattle's older and more picturesque neighborhoods. All photos were shot outside, in public. But we managed to find a day and time that made us feel pretty alone in a mechanistic world of falling brick and aging mortar. I was cold, naked and vulnerable — but with a cock almost as hard as the surfaces we traversed.

Most of us can't explore such scenarios in real life. But this month's photo set, Apocalypse nude, might give you a sense of the balls-out antithesis of exposing naked flesh to a hard-edged world. Look for it now in the Nakedism photo galleries.
