Ah, naked dining. Finally, a way to truly experience food in all its glory, not just with our tastebuds but with every inch of our bare skin. After all, what could be more appetizing than the sensation of a stranger’s buttocks pressed against your elbow while munching on a salad? If you’ve ever had the urge to dine naked with a bunch of equally unclothed strangers, we recently came across a news story that has your name written all over it.
It’s called the Füde Dinner Experience and for $88, according to their website, guests can enjoy “a liberating space that celebrates our most pure selves, through plant-based cooking, art, nudity, and self-love.” These events are hosted by artist and model Charlie Ann Max (she also hosts other naked experiences like naked sculpting, naked painting, and naked breathing) and take place in New York and Los Angeles.
While this particular evening was for women only, others are for both men and women. However, for men to attend, a previous participant needs to vouch for them. All prospective guests must fill out a form explaining why they’re interested and detailing “any incidents that could be considered inappropriate or disrespectful during a nude or semi-nude event.”
Now we’ll grant you, dining naked might not be on everyone’s bucket list – we’re not here to judge. If it’s not on yours, here are some other things that you might be interested trying in your birthday suit.
Naked Skydiving
Why let a little thing like clothing get in the way of your adrenaline rush. Just ask supermodel Roberta Mancino whose done over 7,000 jumps, many wearing only the chute on her back.
Naked Rugby
Rugby players aren’t afraid of anything including playing naked. A match held in Dunedin, New Zealand went off without a hitch except for one interruption – when a fully clothed “streaker” ran across the pitch.
Naked Reading
You could join the “Naked Half Hour” club at Worcester College where students would disrobe in the library while studying saying it was a way to “break the monotony of a long day’s revision”. Unfortunately, the librarians disagreed saying dozens of naked students were a “distraction to other readers.”
Naked Roller Coaster Riding
In 2010, 102 people broke a world record when they went for a clothing-free ride on the Green Scream roller coaster in Essex, England. The previous record of 32 naked riders was set in 2004. It does make us wonder just what would be most important thing to hold onto during the ride?
Naked Bike Riding
2022 saw the 13th annual running in Philadelphia of the Philly Naked Bike Ride. If you happen to be in the City of Brotherly Love at the right time, you might want to participate and show a little love of your own.
For those of you who aren’t necessarily interested in showing your all to just anyone, but might have an interest in seeing others’ all, we’ve taken the time to research, and offer up to you here, a couple of uniquely themed strip clubs we found.
Pirates Cove in Portland, Oregon
For your inner Jack Sparrow, this strip club is dedicated to pirate lovers looking for both types of booty. The entrance is even shaped as a large jug of rum.
Mos Eisley Cantina in Los Angeles, California
Twice monthly it has Star Wars-themed nights where girls dress up as storm troopers and other characters, and strip down past their Princess Leah-themed gold bikinis.
School House in Negoa, Illinois
With multiplication tables and a copy of the constitution hanging on the walls next to the stripper poles it’s almost like being back in school. Subject: Anatomy.
2001 Odyssey in Tampa, Florida
It’s all space-themed here with stars and asteroids glowing on the ceiling. Everything else, including the strippers’ bodies, is white and glows in the black light. Kinda like Space Mountain at Disneyland….if Space Mountain had strippers.
Of course, some of these ideas may be a little too extreme for some. But then again, so is the idea of stripping down in a fancy restaurant to eat a seven-course meal. Maybe we’re all a little more comfortable with our bodies than we thought. Or maybe we’re just really, really hungry.
If you’ve done anything unusual in the nude, like playing basketball or wine-tasting or writing a blog post, we’d love to hear about it in the comments below or in our Forums section.
Wow, I have nothing for you! But and not judging here, but having someone sitting next to me, across from me makes me want to hurl. To be clear it’s not about be prudish, or even modest, I just don’t want to eat food naked! I don’t even like breakfast in bed clothes or not! Yuck!
While I admit that it is possible my Catholic upbringing influences my attitude towards this but this is giving me the full body Willy’s.
I hate to say this but strip clubs are so sad because all I can think is that is someone’s child, sister or mother. Hard Pass (no pun intended)
