Book Description

August 30, 1998
The title says it all! Naked Places is a very detailed guide to nude recreation and travel, written exclusively for gay men. More than just a travel guide, the book is also a resource for men who are interested in exploring social nudism as a lifestyle. Naked Places is worldwide in scope, with an emphasis on places in the United States and Canada.

There are over 375 listings for nude beaches, hot springs, and other natural areas across the globe that are popular with gay men, complete with detailed descriptions and precise directions. There are about 250 profiles for gay resorts, inns, guesthouses, campgrounds, and other accommodations that permit nudity. These profiles tell you when and where nudity is permitted in addition to giving you other pertinent details, such as rates, amenities, number of rooms, and a description of the clientele.

Review

EXCERPT: From the introduction:

The simple act of removing all one's clothing can be incredibly liberating and exhilarating. American culture, so strongly influenced by puritan values, has traditionally sought to deprive the body of sensuous experiences. Consequently, being nude for reasons other than showering or sex is alien to many people. Why go naked? A more appropriate question is Why not? We were born naked, after all. Clothing is an invention of utility that has come to be taken far too seriously. -- From the Publisher

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, essential book for men who like social nudism, September 7, 2000
By 
Gene Allen (New London, CT) - See all my reviews
I now own all three editions of Naked Places, having started with the first edition when it came out several years ago. This book is truly outstanding. I continue to be impressed with each new edition. The photos of nude men outdoors are, of course, beautiful, but it is the incredible amount of information as well as the level of detail that makes this book well worth owning. You need only look through a few pages of the book to realize that this book must have been a monumental research project. As someone who travels extensively across North America on business, I have had the opportunity to visit many of the places in the book (both beaches and resorts). I can report that the author's directions and descriptions are right on target. Had it not been for this book, I would never have known about a good number of these places. As I am writing this, I have had the 3rd edition for just a few days and haven't had a chance to put it to use, but I'm looking forward to checking out some of the new places. This book is absolutely a must-have item for any gay man who enjoys social nudity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for nude travel!, December 26, 2000
By A Customer
Being a world traveler as well as a nudist, I am always looking for resources to help me with my travel planning. This book is now the only one I use when planning a trip. Michael Boyd has collected and organized some of the most accurate listings of nude accomodations that I have found. In addition, he's compiled breathtaking photos from some well-known "nude" photographers including NAKEDTONY and many others. Highly recommended!
