Bare & Gay of Connecticut
Membership Guidelines

This document originally appeared in Naked Magazine, Volume 2 Number 2, which borrowed it with permission from B&G.

Dues

Donations

The cost of each party will be set by and is at the discretion of the host. Each attendee is expected to pay the cover charge announced on each party flier mailed out. Each member is also responsible to inform any of their guests that a per-party-fee is required and what that amount will be.

Pictures

Photography is allowed only with the prior consent of all potential photographic subjects, including all people in the background.

Guests

Definition: Guests are prospective members invited by other B&G members. Affiliated members are active members of other gay nudist groups.

Attendance: Guests are allowed to attend one meeting before being required to join but must complete and sign an application before attending the function. Affiliated members can attend an unlimited number of events where space allows.

Limitations: The maximum number of guests and affiliates will be set by the social chairman for each party and reservations will be accepted on a first-come basis. Any reservations over the limit will go on a waiting list to be notified if space becomes available. A B&G member is allowed to bring only one guest per party.

Responsibility: Each member is responsible for assuring that their guest is aware of the club guidelines and that they are expected to obey them whether the sponsoring member is present or not. Guests will be asked to leave if they are not following our social guidelines.

Member Participation

Each member is expected to contribute to the activities of the club. For those who cannot host a party, expect to be called upon to co-host or organize another activity.

Drugs

Drugs are not allowed at any function. Anyone found with drugs or under the influence of drugs can expect to be asked to leave. All members are expected to comply. A second violation of this rule will result in automatic expulsion from the club.

Touching

Touching, visual stimulation and physical arousal are a natural part of nudism. However, acting upon your own individual stimulation, by sexually confronting another member will not be tolerated. Friendly touching, pats on the back, innocent scuffling is not considered a sexual confrontation.

Sex

B&G is foremost a social group. We are not a prudish group but we don't want our functions to turn into orgies. Therefore, overt sexual activity (oral, anal, or mutual masturbation) is not considered acceptable behavior. However, when mutually agreeable, fondling and touching is acceptable, even if it results in an erection. Any member feeling pressured into any uncomfortable activity should approach the host or any steering committee member present who will diplomatically handle the situation.
