10 Places You Can Ogle Naked Peeps Without Feeling Like A Perv
Just in time for International Nude Day.
While calendar events like Sweetest Day and Administrative Professionals' Day are often deemed as "Hallmark holidays," you can bet your bare ass that National Nude Day didn't make the cut in the card aisle. While the founder of the wacky holiday is unknown, it is believed to have origins in New Zealand.
Now, any true nudist will tell you they're not a pervert. These individuals simply believe the human body is most beautiful in its natural state, no matter the shape or size. While a nude beach seems like the most obvious place to find a batch of buck-naked bods, there are actually several unexpected destinations around the globe where nudity is embraced in some of the most peculiar ways.
Easy Gym in Arrigorriaga, Spain
The WTF business model for this unconventional gym was born out of an idea to help Spain battle the recession by giving locals a chance to gawk between the legs of someone using the adductor machine.
Well, we don't care if there's a towel under their junk. That equipment is a breeding ground for disease. And you thought your gym smelled bad.
Hotcuts Salon in Sydney, Australia
So, how do you lure a dude into the girly environs of a salon? With topless, big-breasted stylists, of course. We'd venture to guess all customers leave with a fresh cut and a raging boner.
Because getting a haircut is so hard.
Naked Man Festival in Okayama, Japan
Believe it or not, this annual festival of the flesh has been going on for more than 500 years. In case you're wondering if all these men are rubbing their junk on one another, they're not. For 3,000 yen, each man gets a kit, complete with a loin cloth and a pair of small tabby socks.
The festival is said to represent the ancient struggle between the assemblage of lower-ranking shinto priests and to set up an unlucky poor man as noble. While the tradition is taken very seriously and is passed down from father to son, we can think of a few better ways to spend time with pop—like camping or talking about the birds and the bees over a basket hot wings at Hooters.
World Bodypainting Festival in Worthersee, Austria
Forget perusing a sterile art museum. This annual festival gives attendees the opportunity to scan the work of artists (from around 47 different countries) on the bodies of gorgeous models. This beats an audio tour any day.
Naked Rugby in Dunedin, New Zealand
This annual celebration of balls moving across a field (the game, we're talking about the game) actually started as a way to pay homage to New Zealand's National Nude Day. We're pretty sure every attendee prays game day isn't a chilly one.
Naked Snow Sledding Championship in Altenberg, Germany
What happens when you mix a group of men and women and make them ride a sled facedown along an icy 90 meter long piste? Probably lots of frost-bitten breasts, shlongs and bits, that's what. Apparently, these folks don't seem to care because this team sport—which attracts around 17,000 visitors—continues every year. Seems like the risk of permanently losing feeling in your erogenous zones is not worth the measly $1,000 award you have to SHARE with your teammates.
Nude Cruising with Bare Necessities
If endless buffets, D-list entertainment and overcrowded swimming pools sounds more like a cruise from hell than a vacation in paradise, why not make things more entertaining by taking off all your clothes? Believe it or not, there are several companies that specialize in nude cruising, so now you can take it all off and let your breasts bob in the breeze like dinghies on the open seas.
Naked City in Cap d'Agde, France
With hundreds of nudist colonies, resorts and retreats across all of France, it's quite obvious stripping down is as important to their culture as fine wine—which is exactly why there's an entire town dedicated to nudists. Really, an entire town. While there have been some regulatory changes over the years due to an abundance of porn-worthy incidents on the beach and inside several business establishments, it's still considered a haven for those looking to live an au naturel lifestyle.
Nude hiking at Khao Yai National Park in Thailand
While you might see an elephant or two while frolicking through this glorious respite, you could also spot this guy's trunk, as Khao Yai offers naked hiking for those who really want to become one with nature.
World Naked Bike Ride
Live in or near any major city in the world and chances are you've seen more private parts whizzing by your face than you would have ever imagined.
