For most of the year, each person at one of our events reads whatever she wants, and though we share recommendations, we don’t generally swap books with one another. But once a year we do, at our annual Secret Santa book exchange. Last year, we held it at a science-fiction bookstore in Brooklyn (an excuse to get naked amid row upon row of wonderful, lurid covers); this year, we chose a spa in Koreatown called Juvenex. Which meant that in addition to a wildly eclectic and intriguing selection of books (see photo, below) we also got to enjoy soaking tubs filled with floating lemons, a sauna shaped like an igloo, a steam room so powerful none of us could take it for more than 5 minutes (but what minutes they were while they lasted!), and a variety of scrubs, massages, and facials. Oh, and tea and melon and pineapple. Yum.
We were joined by a journalist from Styleite.com who steadfastly remained clothed even in the steamy spa environs, despite being surrounded by 17 naked women (and one equally naked man). We felt bad for her! But who knows? Maybe next time she’ll feel confident enough to join in.
And now: on to the real Santa! Just a week away. We’ve been good, sir, we promise! In any event, we’re confident we won’t get lumps of coal in our stockings. Because, well, no stockings.
Merry and Happy, to all our fans and followers, and may 2015 be a glorious one, with nudity and justice for all. 🙂
I love the openness of your group and the courage of the ladies in your group! Wish there were more groups like these around.
Hi there, Sounds like a great place. I was down in Atlanta a couple months ago and stopped at Jeju Sauna and Well Being center which was a Korean type spa very similar to this place. Because it is a 24 hr facility and nudity is mandatory in the locker rooms and segregated sides, there wasn’t a possibility that they would open up for nudity throughout the facility, so the co-ed areas you must wear this silly uniform (basically medical scrubs) in the hot saunas. Seemed very silly and disappointing. There was a hot sauna in the mens nude areas and 3 different soaking pools which weren’t bad, but it just seemed silly to me. Is the area where you were nude clothing optional for all or is it also segregated?

It’s nude for all during single-sex hours or if you rent the place out for a private event. Otherwise, swimsuits are required during co-ed hours.
You ladies are awesome as always and the spa looks inviting !! 🙂
Wish I could join you. Instead I went to Haulover Beach today and enjoyed the 78 Degree weather on my naked body. Love you ladies and I am proud of what you are doing.
Looks like a fun time. And you even sent me a present, too.
What did you think of “Jack of Spies”? Worth a read?
I couldn’t get into it myself, but I know some people who really liked it.
Nice stack. I loved reading “Jane”.
Looks fun
I think it is wonderful that you ladies are flying the flag of toplessness in such a manner. maybe one day it will be a common sight.
I wish I could come down and join you guys!!
Awesome sounding event promoting the lifestyle. The pictues enhance understanding the prose.
Now if you only had a snow bank to roll in!! 🙂 It’s great to go from the heat to the cold and back again, especially if you are rolling with a companion.
Merry, Merry Christmas!
Happy Holiday’s and a Happy and successful New Year to you all !
Sounds like a great way to spend the day. Here is wishing the entire OCTPFAS crew the happiest of holidays and the most wonderful of new years!
Ever wonder if somehow, in some strange way, Ed McBain wrote a book just for you folks and sent it thru time? ^_^ Hope you have a lovely holiday!
Hi, I was just wondering if respectful guys could attend your events? I enjoy nudity quite a bit, visit clothing optional clubs, and am Sane to boot. Very much into Pegging as well.
Thanks. A very Happy Holidays to all.

Sane is good, and pegging can be fun, but no: we only invite a small number of men to our events (which, though co-ed, are intentionally female-focused), and the men we do invite are all ones we already know well, usually someone’s boyfriend or husband or long-time best pal, or at least that one of the women in attendance can personally vouch for. This isn’t a perfect approach, but it’s the best one we have found.
I admire you ladies for your courage in coming out nude. Thank you. Please come to Philadelphia soon.
Hope you ladies a great Christmas. Is anybody on facebook’
Yes, we have a page on FB. Just search for our name.
So there were lemons floating in the tubs, and the referenced article referred to it as “sugar”. What were the tubs actually filled with? It sure looks like fun, but there must be a heck of a cleanup required if you actually soaked in sugar water.
It was just plain water with lemons floating in it. No idea where the writer got the idea it was sugar water.
