Why Do We Do This? Why throw a clothing optional event? Why attend one? It’s a question a child might ask, but it’s not a childish question. I’ll answer with more questions.

A SEX+STL Testimonial from M

A SEX+STL Testimonial from J
J is a woman in her 40’s… The Bare as You Dare event held by SEX+STL has, thus far, been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Having been raised in an extremely religious family (and taught all of the body shame and sex shame that seems to go along with that), and […]

Are Single Men Welcome at SEX+STL Events?
With our next clothing optional party coming right up (2nd Annual Fleshtivus!), we’ve had quite a few inquiries from folks new to SEX+STL.

Ownership of My Body
by David Wraith When I was in my 20s and weighed 168 pounds, I couldn’t pay someone to take pictures of me naked. Mostly because I was a college student, working in a video store and didn’t have the money. The strange trajectory of my life has brought me to a place where, as I […]
