About Us

~~ M.A.N and Social Nudism~~

Males Au Naturel is New York City's only group dedicated to providing and encouraging an environment of social nudity for men. Indeed our club is very active... now in our 24th year of producing a variety of fun events: some catered & stocked, others BYO~ & no-frills educational & social events.

Established in 1984, the primary purpose of M.A.N. is to provide an atmosphere for social fraternization un-encumbered by clothing in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings appropriate to the season. We ask that our members have only one thing in common: the enjoyment of communal male nudity in a gay social context.

We welcome the participation in Males Au Naturel any men who share our enthusiasm for nudity, who want to work with us to strengthen the club, and who are willing to abide by our few guidelines in keeping with our naturist mission.

Because of the nature of our events we limit our membership to men 18 years of age or older. Otherwise, M.A.N. does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, marital status or political affiliation. We welcome a diversity of physical types among our members.

Males Au Naturel - NYC is an affiliate of the Gay Naturists International (also known as G.N.I.), and we are one group in a network of social groups across the U.S. and the world. We are proud to be part of the vibrant gay and bisexual men's network in New York City, but do not limit our membership to men from just NYC.

MAN is organized by an all volunteer Steering Committee that meets monthly and coordinates all details for producing our events. We also rely upon the regular members of our group to volunteer to help with setup and cleanup at each event to make the work light.
