Naked Space: massageThank you for your interest in Naked Space. Many people have questions when they first hear about Naked Space. Anticipating this, ten of the most frequently asked questions are listed and answered here.



QuestionsAnswers
1) Where is Naked Space?Naked Space is located in Brooklyn, NY, within walking distance of two local subway lines. The street address is not provided on this site. Please see the main page for instructions to request the location via email.
2) Do I have to get completely naked?Yes, all participants are expected to remove all of their clothes, even their socks. Accessories too: watches, loose jewelry and large rings will interfere with Naked Space activites. It's recommended that eye glasses also be removed, but for some this may be too disorienting.
3) Can I bring a friend?Of course you can. All returning visitors to Naked Space can make a reservation at a Short Practice on behalf of a friend. Please share all the information on the website so your friend understands the intention and limits of Naked Space. You and your guest should arrive together and early enough to get settled before practice starts.
4) Will there be any women?Naked Space does not discriminate based on any biological trait or cultural heritage that does not directly threaten the safety of the other participants. So yes, it's entirely possible for women to be in attendence, but the presence or absence of any type or kind of person is not what Naked Space is about.
5) What's the ratio of men to women?Again: Naked Space is not about the presence or absence of any type or kind of person. It's a gathering of unclothed humans engaged in activities of the mind, body, and spirit.
6) A room full of naked guys sounds really gay. I'm a straight man who likes to be naked, but I don't want anyone to think I'm gay. Not really a question, but here's your answer. Male or female, straight or gay, fit or fat, young or old: none of it matters at Naked Space.
7) What if I get an erection?Congratulate yourself for having a healthy and functional reproductive system. Seriously, erections are natural. Some guys will get them, some won't; either way, it's not a problem. What you choose to do with your erection is another matter. Be responsible for your actions and aware of the other people sharing the space.
8) Do you teach classes?No. Naked Space practices aren't classes in the traditional sense. The host will provide a framework for the practice, keep track of the time, and facilitate with partner rotations during group activities so that everyone has an opportunity to interact. Previous experience or education is not necessary, though you may find it helpful to have that context.
9) What are the criteria for admission to the Long Practice?An active and balanced practice that complements the three core activities of Naked Space; participation in at least one Short Practice; a clear request for admission. The primary consideration for granting or denying admission to the Long Practice is the continuity of experience for the existing community of practitioners.
10) It's not easy for me to attend at scheduled times. Do you ever have events at other times?A second Short Practice was added to the schedule in October 2008. If there's demand for practice at other times, we'll consider adding to the schedule. Requesting a private session affords much greater flexibility regarding the time and location of practice.
