Naked Men Talking: Strip Poker
Have you got a winning hand?
As part of my podcast, Naked Men Talking, I've been exploring all sorts of different approaches to naturism and the power of getting your clothes off.
As a result of the podcast, I've connected with a really strong community of men in London who coordinate opportunities to get naked through the Naked Mates platform.
This has led me to test out a number of different event formats - partly to help me explore different experiences of naturism but mainly because I like getting naked with other guys.
Which is how I came to host my first Strip Poker event.
I really wasn't sure how it was going to - I don't really know much about poker - but my plan was for a relaxed game of strip-poker with a few drinks and snacks.
This is tooting my own horn, but I think it was a total success!
There were 10 guys plus myself - everyone was a poker novice, so we did a practice-round before getting down to business.
Fortuitously, the pace of the game seemed to work - as we progressed and hands were being lost, the clothes came off, but it didn't take too long and it didn't happen too quickly. It was the Goldilocks of strip poker games.
I billed this event as a social naturism (non-sexual) event - the plan was that we were just going to be getting naked and hanging out, not having sex. That's exactly what happened. There was obviously a sexual energy in the room and there was some casual stroking and some semis, but it was a long way off a sex party.
So, obviously, I'm planning another one.
It's happening on 3 October, in London.
Attendance for this event is via the Naked Mates platform.
