It’s So Hard… to Talk About Erections

Dean and Ray – Reflections on our Boat
When you put a group of men on a boat for several days with no TV, something magical happens: conversations turn into adventures of their own. That’s exactly what unfolded when co-founder Dave sat down with Ray and Dean, a couple celebrating both twenty years together and a milestone birthday, during our Everything To Sea cruise. What started as a chat about what kind of “show” this trip would be (spoiler: White Lotus, but without the deaths) turned into reflections on naked firsts, unexpected camaraderie, and the kind of mental photos you can’t capture on an iPhone.
Turns Out, Stripping Down Might Lift You Up
We’ve always said that there’s something liberating about being naked with others—beyond the sun on your skin or the salt in your hair. Now, research backs that up. Check out this Psychology Today article, which explored a study on what unfolds when strangers shed not only their clothes—but also their insecurities. Turns out, sharing space in the nude might actually change how you see yourself—in the best possible way.
Me, Suddenly Exposed: The Clothed Male / Naked Male Kink
There’s something undeniably electric about being the only naked one in the room. It’s not just about nudity—it’s about contrast, vulnerability, power, curiosity… and sometimes, arousal. An article we found on deviantart.com (slightly edited for readability) dives deep into CMNM—Clothed Male / Naked Male. It’s a fascinating dynamic where layers of clothing reveal much more than they hide. Whether playful, accidental, fetishistic, or rooted in long-standing male rituals, CMNM sheds light on the way men connect, challenge, and charge the air between them.
Later, Dude: His Thoughts After Experiencing a Naked Sail
After our sailing season wrapped up last year, we waited a bit and then sent a message to some of the guys on each of our sails. The salt had washed off, the tan lines (or lack thereof) faded, and the guys were back in their routines — commuting, parenting, procrastinating, swiping, whatever it is they do.
We decided to check in. Not officially. No feedback forms or follow-up surveys. Just a simple message: “Hey, how’s life post-trip?”
The replies rolled in — honest, weird, beautiful. Here’s a look at what some of them said, completely unfiltered and unmistakably them.
Who’s Right? Who’s Wrong? Who’s Buck-Naked?
In a scenario that sounds straight out of a reality‑TV bizarre‑roommate saga, a 27‑year‑old woman from Reddit’s “Am I the A**hole” thread found herself at odds with her 23‑year‑old brother after he moved in rent‑free — and promptly made himself comfortable by stripping down sofa‑style. He declared himself a nudist, arguing that clothes indoors were unnecessary, while she insisted her apartment, her furniture, and her sanity required boundaries. Reddit exploded in support of her stance: yes to nudist lifestyle, no to full frontal on the loveseat. This story, originally reported by Indy100, highlights a classic clash of personal freedom versus shared‑space consent.
Sushi on a Naked Man
Sushi. Soy sauce. A splash of wasabi. Now lay it all out on a man’s bare chest—and dinner suddenly becomes something else entirely. In his provocative piece for Pride.com, writer Eric Voong (a favorite writer of ours!) dives into the world of Nantaimori—a bold dining ritual where sushi is served on the naked male body. Part cultural curiosity, part sensual art form, and maybe even a quiet celebration of the human form itself, this piece had us raising an eyebrow… and then nodding along.
Now Nudism Might Survive in a Social Media-Driven World
Our Designer of Dreams, Jacob, recently came across this article by Gen Z nudist Alex, on the excellent blog Planet Nude. The piece got us thinking hard about the future of the nudist community. If younger generations are the future, don’t nudist practices rest significantly in the hands of Generation Z? In theory, they will influence the evolution of naturism. Read this interesting piece to understand how Alex sees it.

Great news, we’ve been selected as one of the top 35 Naturist Blogs by Feedspot for the second year running!

10 Things You Didn’t Know About The Penis
As the old saying goes, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” Well, that’s a wrap on our brief dive into the world of penile erections, courtesy of Medical News Today. Who knew that cornflakes were once touted as a masturbation deterrent, or that the penis could actually break? We certainly didn’t! But hold on, there’s more to discover about the schlong in this article. Keep reading, and you’ll look at your breakfast — and your pecker — a little differently.
5 Mistakes Travelers Make When Their Flight is Delayed or Canceled
Fuck ups happen in life, and travel is no exception. We found this article on Daily Passport about common mistakes travelers make during flight delays and cancellations. We want your travels to be as carefree as our naked voyages! So, before you take flight on your next adventure, take a moment to arm yourself with this knowledge. Happy reading, and remember — in travel, as in life, it’s all about going with the flow!
Catch of The Day! Invasive Fish Leather Makes Waves for Coral Reefs
At Everything To Sea, we’re always excited to explore innovative ways to protect our oceans and marine life. We found an article on nicenews.com which is about sustainable fish leather (edited for brevity, below). It’s made from the invasive lionfish species, and aligns with our commitment to environmental conservation and responsible travel.
As a company that values the beauty of our seas, we understand the importance of preserving coral reefs and maintaining the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. Now, we know you’re probably thinking, “But wait, aren’t you guys all about naked sailing trips?” And you’re right! But we also care a ton about what’s happening to our oceans beyond our boat decks. This clever idea of transforming an invasive fish species into an eco-friendly product is brilliant!
Come on our sea trips in The Coral Triangle – there’s a good chance to see lionfish close up, while snorkeling with us.
How 10 Hours with No Wi-Fi Drove Me Crazy, then Set Me Free
GQ columnist Chris Black finds himself on a plane without Wi-Fi and begins to reconsider his long-term relationship with the internet. How extremely online do we really need to be? Many believe that what we do on the internet ties to our identity, and how productive we are. Black’s experience without the internet made us think: Do we need to balance our online and offline lives better? Are we relying too much on being connected all the time? Is this constant need to be online taking away from other important parts of our lives?
Everything You Need to Know About Thai Food
We love Thai food! We especially love its bold flavors. This sentiment was also echoed by the late chef, author and intrepid traveler Anthony Bourdain. When tasting Thai cooking for the first time, he remarked: “It was like discovering a colour I never knew existed before. A whole new crayon box full of colours.”
We adapted and abridged two articles by TheWingedFork.com that answer what Thai food is all about. Our hope is that it awakens your senses to the colorful world of Thai flavors…
How to Make Digital Detox Part of Your Vacation
Feeling tugged by social media, emails, and the vibrations of digital devices? These days, it can be challenging to live “in the moment.” It’s ironic that we’re talking about digital detox on the internet, but that’s just how it is nowadays: even digital detoxing has to begin digitally. When left unchecked, tech fatigue can insidiously affect our health. It’s even more important to go off the grid when we’re on vacation. Check out this article by TripConcierge.co about combining digital detox with your holidays. “In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow,” travel writer Pico Iyer writes in his book The Art of Stillness.
The Male Gender and the Sexual Realm
This blog post explores different aspects of growing up male, erotic orientation, and what it means to have a healthy sexuality. It’s not always easy for guys to find their way through gender and sexual realms. Check out this article found on kimberlykeiser.com, which explores these themes.
What the F is The Coral Triangle?
The Coral Triangle is, without question, the greatest center of biodiversity in the marine world. Even though it holds just 1.5% of the total ocean area across the globe, it houses:
76% of coral species on the planet
Nearly 50% of known marine life
Six of the world’s seven marine turtle species
The Coral Triangle is considered one of the three mega-ecological complexes on our planet, together with the Congo Basin and the Amazon Rainforest.
We stumbled on this listicle on Reef-World.org, that describes how the Coral Triangle is, well, the superlative of superlatives. It’ll probably have you looking forward to June 9th – annually designated “Coral Triangle Day”, to raise awareness about marine conservation. And to accompany our reprint of the article, we’re sharing actual photos taken by our travelers on our Everything To Sea trips. Get ready for a truly special treat…
The World Really is Your Oyster
Do oysters make you horny? For some people, the answer is “yes.” We found that there’s a good reason for this: these molluscs are a rich source of zinc, which increases testosterone (as well as sperm count). Hey, if you’re not sure about your sperm count, we could try to, uh, count it for you. Perhaps we could keep track of this – in the name of science, of course! – at The Naked French Villa. As one of our Off-the-Beaten-Path activity options on that trip, we travel right to the source of this aphrodisiac, to eat what many believe to be “the best oysters in the world.”
We found a great read on these delicious morsels, at BarefootBlogger.com. Enjoy reading today… and tasting, in September!
Ashamed to Admit You’re a Nudist?
Are you curious about nudism, but concerned that you’ll be judged negatively? Shame can be a powerful deterrent to nudism. At Everything To Sea, we believe that there’s a deeper purpose to shedding off clothes: Being naked is a way to practice self-acceptance. There comes a time when we have to question from where shame around nudity stems. Also, who or what perpetuates it… and why? Some of these answers are candidly expressed, in an article we found on British Naturism.
The 5 Types of Male Travelers
We recently were buzzing around Quora.com killing some time, and found this lightbulb joke (we love lightbulb jokes!)
