Gay Halloween in Tokyo, Advocates, Oct 30 9:00pm-2am

Gay+halloween1


In Tokyo, Halloween is starting to become a bigger commercialized American 'festival' - of sorts. I am one of the few people who attempts to get gay-buds to dress up and go out on Halloween weekend. We're rounding up in Tokyo Ni-chome gay district on the Saturday before Halloween.

Check out the Crush3r link below of maps and to RSVP (not needed, since it's a commercial bar and open to the public, also viewable from the street since it is mainly right on the street).

or you can also read more info about our Oct 30 Halloween Gay Street Party at the end of this blog entry.

However, there used to be a time when hundreds of costumed foreigners would gather at Shinjuku train station for a raucous ride around the green circle train, the Yamanote Line. At a designated time on the Saturday before All Saint's Day or Tous Saints (Nov 1) (or All Hallow's Eve (Oct 31), as many as 500 foreign residents would all board a late evening train headed counter clockwise around the center of Tokyo. At each station, approximately 2-4 minutes intervals, the whole gang would jump off the train car (actually more like a subway although mainly above ground) and then dash into another train car in a mad howling mass - before the doors closed. Of course, it causes chaos and a lot of local commuters were also pushed and shoved. So it used to be a kind of revenge act for all those other 51 weeks when we are involuntarily packed like sardines on our way to and from work every day.


People wore all kinds of simple and elaborate costumes, but I love to see the straight men wearing a yukata (summer kimono) with nothing on underneath, so their freeballing ended up becoming a point of departure for an interesting conversation over beers after the 'wild ride.' Invariably, you would meet a new group of mildly acquainted people and stay out in the bars and streets under the sunrise.

Because there was a lot of 'incidental damage' to the trains (broken light fixtures, trash, and people getting hurt - mainly some drunk participants slipping or getting caught in train doors), the police decided to put a complete stop to the shenanigans a few years back. So hundreds of them arrive around the suspected witching with shields and riot batons, ready to stand firm (and maybe 'erect' too) if a crowd of mainly white people in weird clothes shows up. So far no one has seemed to see that simply choosing another station on the circle or working in tandom with cellphones from various small stations would allow the 'Wild Ride' to go on. The problem is that 500 strangers don't usually meet up and then go in cohoots to plan what might be considered a urban terrorist act.

I'll be at the Gay Halloween Street Party that is starting to become a micro traditional in front of Advocates Cafe (gay bar) in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ni-chome district ( a 10-minute walk from the main Shinjuku Train station).

Advocates cafe _ Tokyo

If you are in Tokyo on Sat, Oct 30, then drop by Advocates (in costume or without) or you could try your luck for another spontaneous Wild Ride at Shinjuku JR Station at about 10pm that night. But beware the police will be out in droves to prevent it. Still....


Back in Shinjuku, I'll be dressed as a Greek Senator - in a toga, the one I described from N2N in an earlier blog posting. Stop by and give me a Trick or Treat, or just say hello.

Cheers,

Ethnic Bias against Asian Men: It still exists even among gays

Ethnic Bias against Asian Men: It still exists even among gays

Published by: sullybboi on 28th Oct 2009 | View all blogs by sullybboi
Who would put only one type of vegetable on the table for every single meal? All types of men (and young men) are sexy.
There are great looking men among every ethnic group. I understand why someone may have never had the chance to even meet or befriend another 'race', or have sex with some other race, but it's just taste.

I wrote the above on a large gay site's discussion forum and then continued with the rest below.

It happens pretty often -- not only on that site, but other gay men's sites, and even in the general population -- that you hear someone expressing that 'Asian boys' are hot.
It's almost like they just 'found' out that Asian men exist (smile). More Asians exist on the planet than Caucasians. Bu why is it that almost without fail, discussion(?), if you can call it that, is interrupted by some crack-pot who lowers the already low level of the conversation to simply tell the other posters/readers that he doesn't like Asian men. Often, the ensuing discussion heats up. Someone jumps into criticize his luddite comments or an Asian male lances forward with a blunt attack on the guy's morality, calling it a 'racial' foul in the game of 'face-ball'). I've stopped confronting them directly, but prefer to make my point in an oblique attack on their screwy self-belief system. The blog entry is an even more distant swipe at ethnicity insensitive 'bastards' and one that may reach a larger audience. I say 'bastards' because a real one is born with no father, and by association is a person who no one would want as a father, brother, buddy, friend or lover. It simply infuriates me that the poor bastard has no idea who bad he makes himself look - or then again, maybe that's exactly what he wants us to believe.

Hot Asian Twink Abused And Worn Out



The guy who bothers to read and drop in on a discussion (forum) thread - NOT THE ONE HERE ON QUEERCLIQUE but on other large gay sites, such as JustUsBoys, Gay.com and Dudesnude about hot Asian guys -- only to tell us he doesn't like them -- is like a fart in an elevator. Nobody can deny such a bad smell exists, but no one is in position to identify the perpetrator. To me (and probably a lot of you too), there is no use explaining your own lack of taste or your lack of self-understanding, or the sad fact of your own little closed world. So why do those guys who don't enjoy being with certain races sexually have to make the point here on threads like this?

Just look.. these guys are supposedly 'gay' men who represent a clearly, still oppressed minority group. How could someone who is oppressed or discriminated against themselves open his mouth to utter that?

Look at the logic of it. For example, I hate American football (as opposed to love World Football 'soccer' which I enjoy watching and playing (amateur - of course), but I don't go to the SDSU college stadium on a game day and hold up a sign saying so 'I don't like Linebackers.' Then, why in the hell, do some fuckers come into a certain discussion forum or chat room ,and hold up their own 'sign' in our face saying that they don't like Asian men.

Anyway... enough of that soapbox... I'm not going to even bother to look at such threads again.. because invariably those same bozos will have to defend their right to be anti-ethnic.
There IS a difference between prejudice and preference. Unfortunately, it is difficult to 'discriminate' between the two sometimes when some people talk. (sly smirk)......

The Scenic Boys: Men to Idolize or Idealize

The Scenic Boys: Men to Idolize or Idealize

By sunbuns
They are young, cute, gay and Very Eco-Friendly. Dusty and Garet live in Seattle and started making videos a few years ago (posted on Vimeo) to accompany their delightful and very readable blog, which was recently nominated for one of Lonely Planet's Best Travel Blog Awards. Dusty and Garet describe themselves this way:
[We are] boyfriends, naturalist, adventure seekers and photographers. [The blog tells] where they and friends go on outdoor recreation trips. We're two 28 year old boys from the Pacific Northwest. We've been together for 3 years and live in downtown Seattle with our kitty, Tonka.
I have to add, too, that they are consummate naturists - willing and eager to get down to nothing but the all-together at the drop of a backpack. Grin and bare it must be their unspoken motto! They almost never miss a chance to get bare-assed naked in the Great Outdoors.

Yet, they share their passion for exploring the almost sacred natural beauty of these earthly vistas and talk about it from a very wholesome and pragmatic and very modern way - none fo that preachy or fiery rhetoric for often hear from fist-rising, whaler-boat ramming eco-activists. Yes, beside being Earth's Lower Angels, Garet and Dusty are nice on the eyes. Boy o' Boy(s) - how scenic does it get -- because they has some nice bubble butts to bare (excuse my lechery - leering grin!), and smooth tight bods and blond hair galore.

What they do for our edification and entertainment is truly something all of would like to do: get naked in the sunshine. But rarely can most people actually put that wish into practice - except of a few hardy nudists and outdoor naturists (like me too). That's an affinity we definitely share, and with a whole lot of people (gay straight, male / female - around the world).

That is certainly the reason I accidentally discovered them, stumbling upon their blog and videos online in the first place. I have frequently searched the Web for these and similar interests. Just as so might you have been doing in finding this blog post. But search no longer, my friends and naked outdoor recreationalists, the Scenic Boys are on the trail again for Spring 2009.

The Boys are back -- and in all their glory -- so I cannot wait for what's in store this season. Incidentally, their nakedness is never blatant or simply for its own effect. This is NOT the 'cock-in-your-face' gratuitous poofery that the new Internet Web 2.0 so often shoves in our face. Although guilty of sometimes doing that too am I , and also certainly a die-hard fan of watching nude and aroused guys, (check my other blogs to find out how much).

I really really love what the Scenic Boys stand for. They represent a kind of new breed (or species) of the Gay American Male (couple) - perhaps such great nature-loving gay men have existed for eons (and likely for longer in Canada and Europe).

Let me be sure to point out that their online nudity is clandestine, totally natural, supremely classic (artistic), and occurs seemingly spontaneously in the most appropriate and unobtrusive contexts that you almost don't even notice they are naked! The excursions are immersed among some truly glorious natural landscapes which balance - even overshadow the masculine physical beauty of their bare subjects - mostly each other, but occasionally a naked friend or two, who is accompanying them. The nudity isn't even highlighted in either their blogs or videos - so they make it a non-issue.

The two scenic lover boys habitually go to places where the spatial perspective, remote or interesting geography, varied terrain, splendid timing, and often gorgeous weather invite all human visitors, who would be blessed to pass among such pristine natural splendor, who could not resist the unbridled desire to remove all clothing and be exposed to the audacious beauty of Mother Earth and Father Sky.

It is going natural (au naturel) in the ultimate sense of the word: naturist, naturalist, and Earth-protecting, and respecting eco-nudist, seen in his finest form and his own element. It helps (terrifically - LOL) that the Scenic Boys are both rather nice looking or 'scenic' themselves. No slouchy couch potatoes with too much Seattle Java under their belts here, and Ugly Fuzzy and Dust_monkee - in their alternate persona on Flickr - are very easy on the old eye-balls, not to put too crass of a spin on admiring their earthly delights.

Dusty and Garet (known to me as Gareath -(as if from an ancient Gaelic myth), leaving modesty or the lack of it aside for a moment, don't mind sharing their love for each other, and the simple joys of friendship and life's little pleasure, and their equally brilliant admiration for the bountiful riches that Mother Nature offers to all who will partake of it throught hiking, camping, boating trips not very far from home. They lead us on short weekend visit - how to just enjoy living and breathing deeply outdoors - in mainly the North West of the US.

Don't get me wrong or get me righteous.... these are not porn stars or blatant exhibitionists... not that I have anything against those two categories of men either. But they are just two very sweet, emotionally mature (although they might not admit it), really-down-to-earth, thoughtful and sexy guy-next-door dudes that you can't help but fall in love with (OK.. I admit it). What more could modern (queer or straight) America ask for? These are the true American idols -- emblem boys for a Post-Modern Greening of America and for today's Obama-generation which includes 8 - 88 year-olds, crossing all former social lines of separation: age, race, gender, sexuality, and politics.)

They don't comment much on religion. If you haven't met them or 'scene' the down-home, earthy, yet well-made, videos posted on the Scenic Boys blog, then you don't know what you've been missing. Take a gander and you'll be back regularly for more outdoor adventures with the two handsome trekkers and the consort of friends in local and faraway places. Their photographic and videographic work is very nice done.

You can get a close-up view at their Scenic Boys blog. More importantly, it depicts their wonderful pastoral romps through America's and (a few) other nation's natural vistas , bathing in warm hot spring pools or relaxing at a pitched tent camping spot in the rugged terrains on their many weekend and vacation journeys around state and national parks. Remarkably they often do in te bare naked 'state' as well in which they arrived the our beloved Earth. I cannot wait for them to visit Hawaii. Hopefully it will be at a time when a few of their fans (and friends) can join them.

I'm going to suggest some ideas for a Big Island Naked Hiking Adventure, which will originate from Kalani Honau Oceanside Resort, a gay-friendly retreat spot on the shores of the Puna Coast. For further info, visit Kalani.com on the web. Garet and Dusty are the Scenic Boys; they show us all - the good, the great, the naked male and the woodland creatures ( flora and fauna, too - animals with fur or feathered birds among the clothed and unclothed humans frolicking in mountain springs or strolling grassy knolls). They do so with a grace and flair that perhaps only a couple of strongly purposed, good-natured gay men who love each other almost as much they do our sacred but scarred and endangered Mother Planet, Earth. Recently, I had a brief chance to contact them.

A fan of Scenic Boys

I love what you two mean to each other and to our shared love of Planet Earth.. Thanks for being courageous enough to be yourself and for showing us - not just your bodies . but your spiritual bond with the Earth and each other. Kelly

Hi Kelly, Thanks for kind words! It's always nice to meet a kindered spirit. So long as there are people who appreciate and connect with what we do, we'll keep posting sharing. Take care, Garet

Scenic boys are back - Spring 2009

My Response to my Ideal Couple Idols: (the real American Idols).
Dusty (and Garet), I suppose I have such an idealized view of you too that I might be surprised (or disappointed) if I even met the actual two real humans - who go by such names as dust monkee and ugly fuzzy. (LOL) But probably not. At any rate, I do idolize what you have. By all appearances, you live your lives without fear or malice, reveling in the simplist of pleasures that life on Earth has to offer -- and with all the cool and subdued exuberance for which youthfulness can rightly be blamed (smile).

My 'net' personas are disguises - but only partly so. Each just shows one perspective on my real personalty and actual life. It's a major I simultaneously both love and hate the Internet. I would never know of you and your Scenic Boys blog/vids but I have to do so under a covert identity. Not to preach to the choir, but the older generation of gay and bi men who survived the initial blast of the HIV epidemic were also irreparably scarred - perhaps almost emotionally twisted - in the process. In a positive way, I can say it's partly like being a 'bonsai' - a huge tree that has been bound by restraints and held back from succulent growth by painful prunings so that it is now only a diminuitive replica of its own potential self. I enjoy you two for being able to be exactly who you are - in any context. That's perhaps something you can really fathom.

Sorry to wax philosophical .. it must be that Season of the Year. (Hey, I really let loose with the nice 'phrasing' .. ==> to be posted on a blog (http://kelly-sb.blogspot.com) and/or Facebook.

Ciao, Kelly ( not my real name) - Kelly was a college age guy that I had an intense man-crush on when I was a young teen (13-14 y.o). He used to help my dad with carpentry work, and he wore cut-off jeans and a tank top. So I 'adopted' his name for my gay persona (Forgive this insignificant confession).

Opportunities for mild exposure - casual CMNM during my vacation

Opportunities for mild exposure - casual CMNM during my vacation

By sunbuns
I'm traveling now from August 1 - 27. A few days ago, I was getting a bit of the type of CMNM experience I enjoy.. exposing 'accidentally' or nonchalantly to straight and or younger men.

Yes, I stripped for a shower at a public changing room on Waikiki Beach. None of the other guys took off their clothes - kind of ridiculous if you ask me. One guy was even try to washing his lower body while wearing cargo pants. It was cool when two Japanese teenagers, obviously tourists, came in and got in the shower - of course, they kept their swimming trunks on the whole time, and even changed out of them by wrapping a towel around the waist and lowering their trunks, without exposing their butts or genitals. I enjoyed being the only naked guy and made sure they had a chance to get some glances of my half swelled dick and butt.

When I left, I saw that one of the teen's mother was waiting just outside the men's changing room beside her parked car. I just smiled and wondered if the boys would go back later and tell her about see the adult American man's dick (lol). I doubt it.. most Japanese youth are pretty cool about things. While they might do some things themselves, they don't typically hold it against someone for being a bit weird -- as long as they are NOT members of their own group.

Later, after going to the Max's Gym (gay sex club), I slept in the nude at my hostel. A nice Korean guy (aged 26) was opposite me. We had a nice conversation sitting there in the room along with our German roomie. Later, I helped him get some detergent for doing his laundry. He seemed grateful and smiled a lot. So when he got up before 6 to get ready to leave for Seoul, I made sure to have the sheet slipped down and my half-erect cock on display. Is that anyway to pay back a friend? (LOL)
The guys above me was a 22-year old blond German twink. He has a nice body and seems a little bit self-absorbed, but then why shouldn't he be? He slept each night in white knit boxers, and didn't seem to mind parading around the room in them. I doubt it was for my benefit since there were two German girls in the adjoining bunk room, and another German guy about the same age who arrived and took the bed where the Korean dude had been.

The other German guy was slim and had curly dark hair. I slept naked that night again, but there wasn't much opportunity to show anything to the new arrival. He was friendly enough, but he certainly didn't show any interest. Of course, you never know. He did seem to turn over often enough whenever I moved during the night, but he held the sheets tightly around his body, and never really looked over my way.

When I was a teenager, I once was invited over to stay with a church friend who was college-age. I was still in high school. I was so turned on that I snuck out of my bed and climbed under his and try to reach up and fondle his dick - which did get erect. It was a complete turn-on for me, and so it makes it difficult to sleep when I'm in the room with a hot guy even now. Back at the hostel, the lack of sleep and the time change caused me to eventually fall to sleep. The boys remained untouched.. at least by my hands (or tongue). LOL!

On Sunday, I was terribly sleepy but somehow managed to get up in time to go on the Gay Catamaran Cruise - the one I tried to advertise as a CMNM event. Actually, it happens every week - so I (or the Guys Into CMNM group) is not the sponsor of the event, but hopefully just a large part of the participants. There ended up being a dozen men who went along for the 90 minute cruise, but I was the only one to get naked. Being a lone traveller, I was happy to have the attention and conversation from a few of the fellow passengers. The waves were too choppy that windy day, so the captain was not able to stop the boat for a swim - a time when a lot of passengers (although none of the crew) might have gotten naked. Too bad.
Tomorrow, I'm going over the Big Island. There are plenty of places to get naked -- primarily, I can be naked 24/7 at my vacation house. Also, there is a the famous clothing optional beach, Kehena Black Sands Beach, not too far away. Actually, it's easier to get naked almost anywhere on the shores around the Big Island - as long as you are discreet.
On Saturday, I'm picnicking at Kehena and hopefully a few good gay men will join me. On Sunday, it's the weekly Trance Dance Kehena Beach community gathering, which can also be very hot when a bunch of naked straight men (and women) starting getting high on the music and weed. I'll spend the day and night at Kalani which has a clothing optional pool along with outdoor jacuzzi / hot tubs, and sauna. The pool turns naked after 4:00 so it can be very stimulating when hot dads and single dudes venture out from their families and relationships for a little bit of naughtiness. Even if there is no sex, it's still a turn-on to be seen and to see straight and gay men and twinks.
On Monday and Tuesday, I'm planning on camping out in Kohala and visiting the nude beach at Beach 67 - next to Waialea Beach or Beach 69). I'll keep you updated.. if anything fun happens. Kelly (back in Hawaii after too long away......)

I have cross-posted this on three blogs: Guys into CMNM, Hardtwoholed's Quiver of Errors, and Twinkaholic because I just find it so interesting - STIMULATING -- (and I am now on a trip to Spain on business, so I don't have much free time to enter new blog posts separately. P.S. Don't worry I'll be back home on Sunday).

Mais oui!, I certainly noticed too that his cock IS just about to get hard. Maybe it's because his buddy is grabbing his shoulders behind and he finds that stimulating, or it may well be that they all know very well that they are being photographed at that very moment, and he finds it a turn-on, perhaps excited by the fact the photograph will do this very thing with the photo: exposed his cock to millions of horny guys (and or gals.)

Reality -- even when it is vicarious (like this photograph) - that is to say "real people doing real stuff" ... is almost always better than fiction: commercial porn.
There have to be a lot of guys with stories about pissing when you were growing up, or something that happened that you really remember about taking a leak. Tell us when or where you were doing it or when you were doing it with a buddy or even when you couldn't do it (pee shy), and so on. Let's get those yellow streams in the air, guys?


Guys Pissing in Public
One of my own recollections (a travel experience from about 5 years ago):


When I went to Russia, the Far East city of Vladivostok. I was surprised and also quite aroused by the fact that Russian men, and particularly teens / twinks, could easily be seen stopping in and round town to 'drain the lizard' - take a piss, and often doing so in groups. It wasn't hard -- no, not their cocks, but mine was -- to catch a glimpse of dicks taking a leak. I think it was because half of them were walking around with beer bottles from mid-morning until night. A huge 28 oz bottle was just about 50 cents (US). Drinking is a big pasttime for Russian males - underage drinking also seems rampant. So no wonder there is such a onslaught of Russian twinks in the gay porn industry.

Does anybody have similar stories or pictures of pissing to share?

The amateur photo above was forwarded in a group message from: atitlan on his [ymna2] Yahoo group. It shows the annual Bayonne Festival, France (no, it is not just for pissing). Many young men participate, all dressed in the required white and red costumes. Evidently, a lot of wine is consumed over several days of fun and festivities, and - as is typical - there are not enough WC (toilets or porta-potties) to go around. Something that is all too true in the US, but in that country, men are mostly too shy about pissing in public (unlike a lot of other countries - p.s. It's also possible too that it's because it is illegal - considering lewd behavior -- WTF!? Of all the human behaviors - there are only two that MUST happen -- eating/drinking and what happens afterward - getting rid of what the body does not use. Why that is considered lewd or obscene I will never understand. But.. perhaps it's just as well. because the sight of such behavior does cause some people to get turned on. I guess I am one of them).

Male Stripper Guide for UK: Any more sites like it?

By sunbuns
[Notice: This is not an advertisement; neither does this blogger have any connection with this site. It is simply a review of the site, and a inquiry about other similar sites.]

I recently happened on accidentally an interesting site devoted to UK Male Stripper. Since it has something (smile) to do with CMNM, and a lot of our readers might be interested. I am posting information from the site.
Does anyone know if similar guides or recommended users site for people wanting to find or hire a male stripper exist in the U.S. or another countries?
Be sure to write a comment to list a URL or Name/telephone/address contact if you know of any freelance male strippers.

NOTE: You can also write your suggestions or recommendations in a comment or in a private message. You can post URLs and also your email contact along with a comment (no registration required).

For anyone in London, Paul (pbaker999 (at) yahoo.co.uk), if you interested in setting up a CMNM events in the London (UK) area. It occurred to me that having a male stripper hired (or even more than one) would be a great way to get the CMNM event livened up a bit. Obviously, there a cost involved, but the attendees share the cost - perhaps with different prices for the level of interaction permitted with the stripper(s), then everyone can share some part of the fun.
I'll plan on helping setting up such an event when I'm visiting the UK next year.

Months ago, I created a user-documented database using a Web 2.0 site called Wufoo. The point was to try to get readers of this blog and other CMNM sites to post their personally favorite locations worldwide where CMNM situations take place either naturally, accidentally, or deliberately. Not many people have responded. We're still in need of getting thousands of 'Naked Places for Clothed Men', but there have been some surprising revelations as a result so far. One of them is described below: the Erotic Drawing Workshops at the Leslie Lohman Gallery in New York City. The organizer may or may not appreciate getting some 'free' advertisement for the Workshops, but in this economic reality, I imagine he cannot complain too much.

I have been there many times.
Notes/Comment/Describe its CMNM possibilities:

This is an erotic drawing workshop where a model (normally a dancer or other very fit man) poses for others to draw. The models are of all types but generally very attractive and some of them get erect or even masturbate at the end of the session.

Despite (?) the intense hotness of the situation, it is very businesslike. Participants' interaction with the model is very limited and touching is strictly forbidden. In a way that just makes it hotter. You don't have to be a great artist to participate but some experience in life drawing is required. You do also have to bring the right supplies, at least make an effort at drawing, and not be a distraction to others. It's a lot of fun if you are into being a CM and can be respectful of what's going on.

You must be accepted into the program and have a reservation to attend. Call Bob Rosen at the number below.

Address
Leslie Lohman Gallery 26 Wooster Street New York, New York United States
Phone Number (if applicable) (212) 431-2609
Web Site (if it exists) http://www.leslielohman.org/MainPgs/DrawingStudio.html
The Erotic Drawing Workshop has five rules, which seem to be a good model for how a CMNM event might be organized. Obviously, since there may (or may not) be overt sexual behavior at other types of organized CMNM events (some of which I have attempted to set up and often discussed in blog entries here), there would likely have to be more than just 5 rules. Rules or guidelines addressing sexual behavior and the limits and bounds involved would have to be made clear with additional 'rules'.

The workshops are clearly academic sessions intended to help both novice and accomplished artists polish their skills in drawing human anatomy and the corresponding changes that occur when males (and possible females as well) are engaged in erotic behavior - either alone or in couples or groups.

Clearly not everyone is an artist, but there may be other forms that such artisitic and academic endeavours might take that would draw upon various other skill set and aesthetic consciousness, such as 'naked chamber orchestra', musical composition workshops drawing upon nude male bodywork and instrumental use of the male human body, naked dance workshops, naked theatre workshops and nude poetry studios, and performance art installation studio that meld various aspects across multi-modal forms of artistic expressions while being centred about the role of human nudity and male sexual identity and behavior.

Note: This entry is also posted on my Kelly's Second Life (blog).

THE EROTIC DRAWING STUDIO HAS FIVE RULES. (from the Leslie Lohman website page). 1. Artists are asked to make a reservation by replying to the email announcement when they plan on attending a session. They should also let us know if their plans have changed and they must cancel the reservation.

2. No one may speak to the model, and there is to be no interaction between the artists and the model, when the model is ON the model stand, except the one in charge of directing the pose.

3. If an artist finds the model so alluring that he cannot concentrate on drawing, he may not simply sit and gape. He MUST at least PRETEND to draw.

4. Each artist must clean up after himself, i.e., if you have left pencil shavings on the floor, please sweep them up.

5. Photography is not permitted unless a special prior arrangement is made with the studio director and the model.

Perhaps there are members of the CMNM social networking sites or other interested, and serious men, who might be interested in attending the Workshops described above. Someone in the New York City area should contact the Studio/Gallery organizer to see if a 'special' workshop session might be organized. Perhaps there are some of the current models who would be willing to participate in a CMNM event outside the normal 'rules' that the Gallery needs to impose.

Your comments are appreciated or visit our social networks and start up a dialogue about the idea in the NYC sub-group http://grou.ps/cmnm

CMNM Festa in Hawaii
The details are just being set up now. So you should show your interest AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - in order to be in on the details.

NOTE: As of Sept 26, at least 6 men have indicated their interest in attending the private event. No doubt there will be more.

CMNM - What is it? If you don't know much about CmNm, but are really intrigued find out more at the blog or one of our social networking group online.

CMNM EVENTS: Really? So far we've not had much turn-out at the few actual live events, but we're a world-wide group. There are thousands of members and interested men scattered everywhere. Eventually, there will be enough guys in one spot to hold some live events. Hopefully, this Christmas and New Year's in Hawaii (Oahu, Big Island or Maui) will be the first annual CmNm Weekend Festa - to be held at other locations in North America, Europe, South America, Asia and elsewhere.

CmNm Festa in Waikiki Dec 25 - 28
If you are going to be in Honolulu for Xmas Weekend (Dec 24-28) (or can be then or shortly afterward, such as New Year's or later,) then make plans to attend one or several of the CMNM Weekend Festa from Christmas Day until Monday, December 28, 2009. (Other events from Dec 31 - January 9) may be possible- but we'll start off with Xmas).

Who can join: Legal adults (21 or older for most events).
Single males, couples or groups are invited to participate. Women are not barred from attending, but this IS a male - mostly gay or homosexual lifestyle - although some married couples (M/F) could possibly find it very stimulating.

Who will be there: Since it's just getting organized now (mid Sept), there's a good chance we'll have a dozen (or perhaps much more) men attending the private CMNM events. There's no doubt they will be fun and worth it: strippers, erotic dancers, naked waiters, and an assortment of exciting clothed male / naked male activities and games are planned. The private homes and rented hotel suites will also make a comfortable and elegant venue for some memorable excitement you will never forget.

How to join: Indicate your interest. Contact the organizer (Kelly Lewis sunbunz (@) gmail (dot) com, (see below) and arrange to fill in the questionnaire and then engage in a live interview via telephone or Skype (webcam/voice over Internet).
You need to be interviewed by phone or Skype to see if you are legitimate in order to attend and participate in the private events.
(NO, it's not a screening. This is a discrimination FREE CMNM Zone for any male, all ages (18 and over), body types, and ethnicities are welcome. However, we want to try to match your requests and be helpful making everyone's fantasies close to coming true. So getting your profile, interests, and requests is important so we can plan -- arranging for venues, hiring naked waiters, getting the entertainment set up, planning for 'fun' games and activities, etc.

If you serious about attending or hosting an event, or if you want to work at CMNM Festa as a performer, stripper, waiter or activity leader, please fill out the application form:

(Your privacy will be respected; no personal info will be given out or used for spamming or other purposes).

Costs to attend: There is a minimum fee to participate (for each fee event) since setting up even one event will incur some costs. However, the aim is to keep costs to a minimum by sharing and not doing anything extravagant. A couple of events are virtually free because you pay for your own drinks/food or you bring you own everything (outdoor excurions / sightseeing).
You will need to pay your own participation in the scheduled private CMNM Party and Role-Playing events by check or credit card (using PayPal). A refunded reservation / security deposit is required to hold your place as a participant. The amount of this deposit depends on the number of events you have selected to attend.
Cancellations after 12/10/2009 are possible, but there may well be a sizable penalty for withdrawal from attendance because booking for venues, dancers, performances, and services will already have been finalized by then .

Disclaimer NOTE: This is not a commercial or for-profit event. However, participants are expected to pay their fair share of cost. Travel arrangements are to be made by solely each person; fees include rental of the venues, hiring of waiters and performers, and costs of refreshments and other related services. There is no fee paid to the organizers or any participant.

BEHAVIOR: Obey the rules.
The CMNM Festa Weekened (in Waikiki ) is one of the Clothed Male / Naked Male (CmNm) series of events held and planned throughout the world. Some of these events are in public and some are private homes. You do not have license or permission to break existing laws, or to cause physical harm or psychological hurt to any person. This is not a sex orgy or an invitation to a drunken brawl. Participants are expected to behave as guests would act in someone's private home, or in attendance at semi-private party (in a hotel, bar, or restaurant.

Sexual or Erotic Behavior: Some participants in CMNM activities may not comfortable with explicit or overt sexual acts (particularly in the company of people they do not know), so you are expected to respect the wishes for propriety and rights the privacy and personal preferences of all who attend. While touching or fondling others would need that person's consent; removing your own clothes, masturbating, kissing are left to the individuals involved. You should indicate at the onset whether you are mainly a CM (clothed male), NM (naked male) or if you would prefer to have both roles. Some events (or parts thereof) will not allow any sexual or overly affectionte behavior that involve physically touching genitals or engaging in overt sex (because of the public or commerical location).

However, there will be events that do allow such behaviors. The limits and expectations for dress/undress and what forms of behavior (sexual or not) allowed (or when) will be clearly stated in the invitation/announcement to each event.

The events will be structured in such a way that hopefully all preferences for CMNM stimulation can be accommodated. However, this assumes that members attending are willing to participate - either by getting naked, or wearing clothes (or uniforms or special attire), and by actutally participating in the planned activities (games, role-plays, etc). Engaging in forced sexual acts or anything involving humiliation, abuse (name-calling or punishment) or bondage will require that a participant sign a release form (for liability purposes). This is NOT a BDSM event or a Fight Club. Although we realize that some men really want to be told what to do or to be made to strip. Pain or sexual violence will NOT be on the menu, so anyone interested in that should look elsewhere. Some paddling, spanking or light bondage is allowed as long as no one is made to suffer physical or psychological abuse, and they have stated their willingness to participate in those activities.

Overt sexual behavior (involving unclothed bodies, erections or penetration (oral/anal) in public places is not allowed. It is illegal in the State of Hawaii. Such behavior can take place in the privacy of a home or rented hotel room as long as it is mutually consensual.

Drugs/PNP: No illegal or narcotic drugs or the excessive consumption of alcohol (also a drug) will be tolerated.

CMNM Festa EVENTS:
The events are primarily for people staying over Xmas weekend in Honolulu, some in Waikiki or around the island of Oahu.

There may be other related events or planned excursions during the week of Dec 28-January 2 either also in Honolulu (or Oahu), but possibly on Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, too.

What type of events: CMNM Festa Welcome Pool Party (at a private home - clothing optional - of course), a Naughty Santa Costume and Role-Play in a penthouse suite of a Waikiki Hotel, a sleepover (with clothed and naked males in attendance), male strippers and uniformed hosts will be in attendance at several of the events. In the day time on Saturday and Sunday, you can enjoy several tourist excursions or some special CMNM events and tours: visit to a nude beach, naked diving / snorkeling, a naked catamaran cruise, and a CMNM wine-tasting and sushi party with both nude and clothed waiters.

Friday evening 12/25 CMNM Penthouse Party with Invited Nude Dancers and Uniformed Men to host/serve
