Has anyone out there in the land of poi ever tried swinging (pardon the phrase) in the raw..?? As an unashamed naturist and lover of all things natural, I have found it to be a very very enlightening experience. Feels a little strange at first and one has to exercise caution with fire, but there is no other feeling like it. (bit like swimming in your birthday suit). Dont worry, I not about to suggest a naked poi get-together (nice though that would be in somewhere like Goa !!)Hmmmmmmm...???------------------Kato

Naked poi. In Yorkshire! Have you any idea how cold it is, even in the summer!Sorry, definitely not my thing, and that's something the rest of the human race (or those that can see) can be very thankful for!

One day in August I took a trip to Vancouver's Wreck Beach (Canada'a most famous nude beach), and spent the afternoon, er... swinging by the water, so to speak. No fire. Just my practice balls... I mean, my tennis balls, that is. So, I guess, technically, I spent the day playing with my balls on a nude beach

My girlfriend always say's that less clothes is safer as they don't get in your way, hmm - although I challenge anyone to do any decent looking double staff that dosen't singe the pubes. That bloody smells you know.

I am seriously beginning to wonder why I asked the question in the first place... although some of the responses / confessions have been somewhat amusing. Melissa in the US.. you, I think, have come closest to the sort of answer I was hoping for.. truly a woman after my own heart !!Tempest.. I really gotta see some of these fantastic moves of yours (but perhaps WITH your kit on). I will expect a demonstration at Zogg if you dont mind..?? (And no peeing on yer poi's either..)------------------Kato

heh heh - "three poi" - nice one glass
I wouldn't mind trying it - but a little to modest methinks - would like to try on a very secluded beach - I know the perfect one (on Kangaroos Island) but is a bit awkward getting there.

I've seen a lot of women spin in the nude or topless, especially at Burning Man. But I have not seen many men do so. Personally, I'd be a bit nervous about having a third swinging thing to worry about.

there is nothing better than in the buff weather it be running through the city on a warm rainy night in summer (being chased home by police one night was the most memrabule one for me). and dancing with my staff down the beach at 4am one night in the buff would have to be the other (got busted agen by the police just as i was going to go put my cloth on (got off both times))oh and nothing beat a good old midnight swim in the tidal pools
