More about Paris cruising…

This article was first published in the april 2007 issue of X factor.

Paris, dream getaway for romantics, has a lot of what a naked traveler seeks, too. (Not that being naked can’t be romantic!) Of course, Paris has beautiful buildings, grand sweeping boulevards, and lush parks. But what the naked enthusiast wants is gorgeous men — of which Paris has an unending supply. Gotta love the Gallic/Celtic look of many the guys on those boulevards. Mix in the swarthy, sexy variety of men and you have a unique blend of what the gay traveler seeks. Seeing them in their clothing, fashionable or grungy, is not enough. What the inveterate naked voyager wants is to see these guys sans clothes, sans inhibitions. Well, Paris offers that in abundance, sating even the most flesh-famished.
Paris is a large city with a lot of neighborhoods, all sporting their own style, cafes, clubs, and bars. Le Marais, the center of gay life in Paris, is where you’ll find a lot of what makes Paris a delight for the gay tourist. This traveler first visited the district years ago when it was just becoming the place to live in Paris. It’s attractive, expensive, and has become very gay. It has plenty of bars, though other districts offer gay treats as well. This time out, it’s the flesh pots we seek.

One nifty naked bar in Paris should have every naked traveler heading for the City of Lights. You’ll find it in the Montorgueil district. Lke an explorer searching for a legendary city of gold, you will discover a fabled playground for naked men. L’Impact Bar is located in the middle of this friendly, fashionable quartier filled with cafes, restaurants, bakeries and the essence of what makes Paris the jewel it is. And what could be more fashionable and friendly than nudity and naturism?

The extreme popularity of L’Impact cannot be over exaggerated. With a bar on the ground floor and a cruising area on a lower level (both all naked all the time), there is plenty of play space. Glory holes, slings, a large orgy bed, darkrooms and plenty of nooks and crannies make this more than an innocent naked jaunt. The entry fee includes free clothes check and drinks.

Each night has a theme, which no one is required abide by in any strict sense. But why miss out on the fun? Mondays are hairy nights. Tuesdays are for horse-hung men, and if your endowment exceeds 20 centimeters (about 7.9 inches), you get in for free. Wednesdays combine “Hot Ass” nights with blindfold games. Play anonymously, if you dare. Thursdays are for guys who want to cling to their underwear as they flirt with going all the way. Fridays are reserved for L’Impact’s famous sex party (Hey, is this different from what goes on the other six days? You’ll have to go find out). Saturdays are for musclemen and on Sunday there’s a complimentary buffet of food as well as flesh.

Entre Deux Eaux is another all nude, all the time bar that didn’t start out that way. But once they saw how popular naked nights became, every night became naked night. There’s an entry fee and then it’s up to you — bare it all and have a ball. This is one of the earlier hour establishments you’ll find in Paris. From Monday to Thursday you can have fun 4 P.M.-midnight; Friday and Saturday, 4 P.M.-6 A.M., and Sundays, 2 P.M.-midnight.

TX is another nakedly fun place to be. On many nights there are dress codes, including leather, sports outfits, and so on (of course once you get in the door with the proper attire, anything goes) but on Tuesdays and Fridays, it’s totally naked time and men flock to the place.

Transfert calls itself a fetish bar, but there’s more to it than that. Nakedness is a part of everything they do and every night is a different extreme theme. Pick a sexual adventure, pick anything that thrusts itself into your fevered imagination and they’ve done it and moved on to new things. Some call it sexual anarchy, and when you look at the listed themes, you won’t argue. Don’t go before midnight, the witching hour when everything begins.

QG is on the late night side of things. Men who go to QG like their nudity with a little leather and fetish mixed in, or do they like their leather with a little naked fun? Whichever way you like it, you’re bound (sometimes literally) to have a good time here.

The Bunker is another early-bird haunt (hottest times are often pre-midnight). This former sauna is now a sex-bar where naked is king and sex is the only etiquette. With four slings, plenty of private hideaways, darkrooms, and all the sexual amenities — plus drinks and hot men — the Bunker is a must.

Paris has lots of others: Banque Club, Glove, Full Metal, and Keller are other places where you can be a naked traveler and more.

Paris is a gay naked playground. I’ve only touched the bare surface. Some other time we’ll stop in at the many saunas Paris has as well as some of the other gay sites. Oh, and the Eiffel Tower, you want to see that, too? Why not? Paris has something for everyone.
