There are many places all over Europe where gays can have a relaxing, healthy (play safely) and also culturally enriching clothing optional - nude vacation. In Spain, Sitges (near Barcelona,the city itself well worth a visit) has a wonderful gay nude beach. For a sex holiday (sex on the nude). I prefer Playa del Igles / Maspalomas on Gran Canaria, (Spain's Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco). which I have just written a lot about in a recent post below. You can find nude beaches in Italy, Croatia, Czech Republic too.

Places to get naked in Europe (gaynude travel) Part 3
There are many places all over Europe where gays can have a relaxing, healthy (play safely) and also culturally enriching clothing optional - nude vacation. In Spain, Sitges (near Barcelona,the city itself well worth a visit) has a wonderful gay nude beach. For a sex holiday (sex on the nude). I prefer Playa del Igles / Maspalomas on Gran Canaria, (Spain's Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco). which I have just written a lot about in a recent post below. You can find nude beaches in Italy, Croatia, Czech Republic too.
Gran Canaria : Gay Nude Vacation Resort Island
You can find decent accommodation on alpharooms.
Of course, it's a bit like Florida with all the 'northerners and retired couples - average age must to 65 but you can certainly have a gay old time too. There are plenty of younger people (30-40s or so too).
It's not a cultural location - if you want great museums, galleries, and elegant shopping areas then you should stay on the mainland (Europe).. Gran Canaria ( I can't compare the other islands because I've never been) is a ocean resort town - time slows down, people stay out late, get up late and lounge around at pools or on the beach (a lot of them in the nude). There are theme parks - I enjoyed the wild bird and limited zoo, but there a couple more. Exploring the island's indigenious culture and history is a great activity, hiking and walking over the varied terrains, diving / windsurfing, and a visit to the historic capital - where Columbus landed on four of his discovery visits.
You won't really have any trouble hooking up for sex at the bars or anonymously on the nude beach (Maspalomas dunes). Go into the dunes (prepared with condoms, lube, sun screen, and plenty of water). I have not had anything stolen but it's probably good to watch your stuff - I did have my water stolen once. It is hot - temperature wise and it IS hot - sexual climate too! Guys are sometimes get into group sex so it can be very stimulating to stay there all day long - save something for the gay clubs later.

Planning a trip to San Diego
If you have time, it's worth visiting Mexico - Tiajuana is NOT the best face of Mexico but going further south in Baja de California would be worth it. Don't miss going to Black's Beach - the easiest way to get there is to take the Genessee Road exit on I-5 (headed north) or you can also take it from from I-805 (just takes longer). Continue north up Torrey Pines Rd until the road descends to the seashore just after the entrance to Torrey Pines State Reserve (a CA state park). You can park along the road at the beach or if it's too crowded, go inside the park ($10 entrance fee per car). Walk south about 1 mile to Flat Rock (a landmark outcropping along the beach, and then continue about 0.8 mi to the nude beach - here's where the 'gay' section).
I was just there on March 1 and met up a great guy whom I had known online from another site. We are just fooling around for a candid photo.. there is NOT public sex on the beach - although the hillside dune area used to be very cruisy. The hang gliders overhead make for a great site and scenery (not just nude people ) is highly photographic.
Travel to Japan - Recommendations for Second Trip
Places between Tokyo and Nagasaki -- well, let's see.
If you have not already seen Nikko (about 2 hours from Tokyo sort northwest) you definitely should go there. I suspect you've already been but it IS worth a second or third trip if the season is different; spring flowers, fall leaves, winter xcountry skiing round out the Toshogu shrine - whose beauty is unsurpassed in its magnificence.
Further south is nearer to Mt. Fuji is Hakone. - a hot spring resort area around a mountain lake.
I think the Kanazawa area and Noto Peninsula is worth a visit on the Japan Sea coast but it's harder to get around there without a car - although trains should be sufficient. The northern island of Hokkaido would be a great place to visit during June (when most of the rest of the country is bathed in the pre-summer rainy season). It's a place for nature lovers with wider open spaces and natural hot springs, cycling and hiking. Sometimes there are travel deals or air or rail passes for tourists that make it attractive to go up north.
Nara is the another ancient capital of the country so you may have seen or might have bypassed it for Kyoto. Himeji Castle is worth a visit (near Kobe).
Hiroshima and the Peace Memorial as well as nearby Miyajima (Itsuku-shima Shrine) -another World Heritage site like Himeji Castle, is considered to one of the three most beautiful places in Japan (by its citizens). On the way toward Kyushu is the historic Okayama prefecture village of Kurashiki and nearby you can see the many islands of the Seto Sea (eastern shore along the Pacific).
I enjoyed visiting Beppu and Kumamoto and the environs of Mt. Aso on the island of Kyushu - the volcanic hot springs and mud and sand baths were great.
My next trip will be to visit Shikoku Island - which has both cultural and historical sites as well as stunning natural mountain and seaside landscapes.

Experiencing CMNM flashing: Ideas for hotels and hostels
March 5th, 2007, 14:10 PM (previous posted on JUB - which does not have a RSS feed)
These next series of posts might be interesting to someone who wants to be see naked by other guys - particularly by str8 or clothed men when you are in 'nude' situations. I don't consider this blatant or in-your-face exhibitionism - for me, it is a sort of sensous and partly innocent accident flashing or being seen naked (or purpose) where nudity might be expected. I find it even hotter and more sexually stimulating when the guys doing the looking are either supposedly straight or are themselves clothed. It's great when they take notice or when you can tell that they kind of like the experience (or the freedom and license) to get naked them. Many don't need to get permission and quite a few don't care or even notice, but you know never what will happen or how they might react - there are surprising results sometimes - and far from bad ones.
I'll be at a hostel next week Feb 15-18. It's more like budget hotel with shared rooms 4 to 8 people in either co-ed or female only room.
Hey.. I came up with a lot of bold and perhaps successful ones -- I can't wait to try out some of them myself... Final suggestion, next time try a hostel - you're in a room all the time with men - so you can be as naked as much as you can get away with it-- the bath/shower is attached usually so you can freely go back and forth in the nude to your own ..
By the way, there are many chances to do get naked in public bath (baden ) and spas or hot springs. In Japan, there are onsen (hot springs resort - where you can also get a day-pass just for the indoor and outdoors hot pools); there are even still pubic baths - sento - where you pay about 4$ to sit naked among or across from other men (sometimes young men and teens - but all ages) and wash and soap your body-- paying special attention to scrubbing your cock and balls. and then soak nude in the hot communal pool (after rinsing). It's a tradition that is rapidly dying out. Any ideas or experiences about a flashing at 8 person hostel room (it may be coed)? It's in Honolulu and I don't know the shower set-up -since shower stall or communal (I hope)
