We are a New York City-based social naturist group for adults who identify as male.
Our activities include meetups every three months at the LGBT Center in Manhattan. They are especially intended for those who have never attended a naturist event.
We also have events at other spaces, including members' homes, throughout the NYC area.
You do not have to be a member to attend most of our events. Members may get advanced notice of events or reduced admission. Select MEMBERSHIP from the Main Menu for details.

MAN is pleased to promote similar groups like:
MAN also co-hosts massage workshops with Daddy Retreat, which are scheduled on a Monday afternoon or evening about twice a month. We send links for discount tickets to our contact list.

Events happen when a member agrees to run an event. Many are willing to help, but someone has to be in charge. If you are energetic, organized, and willing to take responsibility, please contact us.
-
Do I have to get totally naked?Yes. EXCEPT: Every 3 months we have an "orientation" party where you can keep your underpants on. See EVENTS. (At most events, you should keep your shoes on.)
-
Is there an admission fee?Yes. We set the fee to cover space rental, food and beverages and other occasional expenses. We think it's a good deal if you like to eat and drink, not to mention hang out with naked men. EXCEPTION: Our 2-hour no-frills "orientation" parties at THE CENTER every 3 months are free.
-
Is there a minimum age?Yes, you must be 21 as we serve alcohol. If you are 18-20, please contact us so we will be aware of the need for parties where alcohol is not served.
-
What kind of men belong to MAN?Our members include all body types, ethnic backgrounds, and income levels. Most consider themselves gay or bi, but friendly straight and bi-curious men are welcome. We're a mix of ages, and we welcome all who identify as male, 21 and over.
-
What's the difference between "sexual" and "non-sexual?""By "sex" we mean any activity that, if continued, could lead to an orgasm. So yes, for our purposes, sex includes sucking and stroking. It does not include naked hugs or incidental genital contact, but please be sensitive to the feelings of the person you want to touch.
-
What if I get aroused?That's completely natural and it's ok.
-
Do I have to be a member to attend parties?Some yes, others, members get considerable discounts on.
-
How do I join?Check out the members area to fill out the form and make your payment.
-
How can nonmembers find out about events?Besides checking this site, we send emails to all of our contacts. Once you register for an event on this site or join the mailing list, you become a contact. If the location was not publicized in the event description, you will find it in your email confirmation.
