Frequently Asked Questions

What is BANG?
BANG is a social naturist/nudist group for gay and bisexual men. We hold year-round events, both outdoors as well as indoors, and in private and public areas.
Who thinks up the events?
You do! Event ideas come from the members, and happen whenever someone volunteers to host.
I have some privacy concerns...
BANG does not distribute, sell, give away or otherwise furnish information about its members to third parties. Your contact information is used only for purposes as described on the Membership form.
How do I join?
Please visit the Membership page.
Your events are held all over the place, and I don't have a car. How can I get to them?
If you need a ride to an event, ask the Events Coordinator. There may be someone else near you going who you can carpool with.
I'm a little new to these things. Should I be nervous?
It is only natural to be nervous about trying things for the first time. BANG members are a very friendly and accepting group of people, and you have nothing to fear about being among them.
What are the ages of the people in the group?
We do not keep age information about BANG members. If you have a specific concern about the make-up of the group, please send mail to BANG.
Well, I'm self-conscious about my [whatever]...
Everyone has a "something" that is "too something". Variation is what makes us unique, and is nothing to be ashamed of.
Uh... what if I get an erection?
Erections happen. In general, no one will bring any attention to it and it will go away on its own. If you prefer, wrap your towel around you until it goes away.
What if I want to get to know someone a bit better?
Go right ahead. Many people have met through BANG and gone out on dates. However, intimate contact in a common area is discouraged.
...but I just GOTTA hook up!
Ask the host of the event if arrangements have been made to accomodate that.
I have some more questions. Who can I ask?
Send an email to BANG. You will receive a personalized response.
