A 4 I don’t mind
B 3 I don’t mind blurred photos I have some here already.
C 2 happy to pay more
D 4 happy to go with group choice
E 3 there have been blog posts about being male with multiple people touching i really like the idea of exploring that more.
-
A2: Yes only mixed
B2: report but no photo or B3: report with blurred photos. Or perhaps report with AI illustrations not including personal identification (not real face, real name etc).
C1: would be willing to pay £60. Would be willing to pay more if some can’t.
D1: Indoor only but could include outdoor if held in a private space
E2: touching while clothed or undressing, perhaps more by consent on the day

Never got an answer from Ed over whether he has a current application from me, I think he does, but
A 2
B 4 Report with photos, I’m OK if not all agree, or report with some photos including mine.
C 1 could afford 60
<p style=”text-align: left;”>D prefer indoor or outdoor in isolated spot. Do not wish to get arrested, do not happy with say the local park.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>E I am happy for any touching but would go with consensus.</p>

Erm, I answered about an hour after you posted it. I said I couldn’t find one.

My memory is rubbish, I might have asked previously, but I asked a month or so ago, and you just replied that you weren’t accepting further applications. I definitely filled one in, but you changed the form and I can’t remember if it was before or after.
-
I stopped accepting applications from men as I was just wasting everyone’s time with that. With more than 100x as many men applying as women, a lot of people would be waiting years (or forever) for a suitable experiment session to arrive.
When I revamped the application form years ago (the old one was totally inadequate), I discovered most people who had applied were not contactable. I tried repeatedly to get everyone to do a new application but only a few did. I suspect that most people on the current list have moved on too but I have no plans to replace the form and start again.

@ed what’s the minimum number of participants? I’m guessing 5 is probably the least viable to make it worth while.
I usually say 6. 5 would be workable, but probably only in single-sex cases. Most female applicants have stipulated either matched male and female participants or all female. Not one female applicant so far will accept being in a minority (for safety mostly).
We’ve had a lot of people here before say they are up for some type of experiment mainly all men. We also had some interesting discussions on venue and indoor/outdoor type challenges.
Question 1 for ed.
would an all male experiment work if it was a paid event (I doubt an all male event would sell well so would need to be paid).
Yes, but not worth writing up (as you say). About 80-90% of male applicants ruled it out on the form.
On that subject, I should re-research location costs as I haven’t done that for over a year. Most things are more expensive now.

Guess that depends where you go. I was looking up room prices at my local community center. The big hall is £19 an hour for locals or £21 an hour for business.
Do you have 4 or 5 other sign ups interested in a paid even even if single gender. would be really keen to take part in an event soon. Not really fussed who it’s with. But if there is no report I’m not sure what you get out of it and if it’s fair to ask you to put in the effort for no reward

An experiment session needs around 3-4 hours. I’ve always checked them out in person beforehand as a level of privacy (no windows overlooking the street, no staff walking through, unlocked doors accessible by the public etc.). I prefer top floor or basement rooms (based on experience) or out-of-hours access (the gym experiment took place late in the evening when the rest of the site was closed to the public). There’s also insurance to consider – some venues include it (in case anyone gets injured etc.) others require you to get your own.
I tried explaining to venues why I wanted to rent a venue but that never went anywhere (no-one wanted anything to do with nudity). Now I just tell them it’s a team-building exercise where privacy is important.
Very few men on the list are interested in single gender experiments.

My aim is to first cover my own costs so I’m not out of pocket (My wife won’t be happy if experiments cost me money), but ideally raise money for the site. I’d hoped that a growing range of experiment reports would result in a growing trickle of income for the site (it would be great to have a budget to spend), but I would probably be better off working some evening shifts in Aldi (a UK supermarket) that spending the time I have producing the reports I have so far.

That seems fairly typical for local community centres but cheaper rates may be available off peak or for smaller rooms, especially in less popular areas.
The problem is that many of them are run by churches or local councils, who might not appreciate having naked bodies in or around their building. A possible answer to that would be to look for places where there are regular nude life drawing classes. Actually, life drawing (in pairs, model and artist both naked, two minutes to draw then swap model and artist) seems like a reasonable experiment subject. If the emphasis is on participation rather than artistic merit and and the model gets to keep the drawing, that might be acceptable where having a photo taken would not — but a headless version could possibly be included in the experiment report.

please have some patience with the more technophobic of us 🙂 if I don’t go on the site for a few days and can’t remember the thread name, I may miss stuff.
I’d personally have thought that experiments would be offered to Patreons rather than people who haven’t visited the site in several years.
Guess it’s irrelevant if we don’t attract more women to the site. I have tried to get the forum moving again, a busy site tempts more people to linger.

If you’re away for a while, a good place to go after logging in is https://community.nakedexperiment.com/activity/ which has a complete list of recent forum posts, newest first. Click on the time (eg 10 hours ago) of a specific post to get to its containing thread if you want to reply.
Note however that it doesn’t include blog posts or replies to them. The only place you’ll find a list of those is the Latest Blog Comments though that only shows the newest 5. Usually that’s enough, but unusually there have been more than 5 blog comments in the last week. There’s no way (as far as I know) of seeing a list of blog comments beyond the 5th, other than opening every blog post that’s not in the list individually.

Definitely interested.
A – Gender : Don’t mind
B- report write up : Report with blurred photos
C- paying : Would be willing to pay more if some can’t.
D- content : Don’t mind (all outdoors might be more “fun”)
E- touching : Allow touching while naked (for me it is all about stretching boundaries)
-
Realistically I’m a no — but I’’d like to comment because I see the touching when naked and “pushing boundaries” and I can no longer pretend that this isn’t sexual.

I didn’t mean touching in a sexualised way at all. I think we had conversations before about people putting hands on the body not necessarily genitals. I guess that wasn’t clear but also maybe vague to see what reactions would be and draw out a conversation with potential participates on what does touching mean.
I meant more about thinking about one of the previous blog posts where a woman was laid naked and multiple people put hands on her stomach or legs. I did also think about some of the photo challenges for the vote off and things where maybe someone who’s not naked uses their hands to cover your parts for a photo. Or someone else who is naked using their hands to cover your part too. I guess pushing thous boundaries of how do you feel being naked with someone covering you with their hands when that person is in different states of undress.
In terms of experimenting with nudity in front of others having others up close to you, standing back to back with someone else or hugging. Like How comfortable are you in your nudity when greeting someone.
I don’t know exactly what it would entail and I don’t think Ed would set anything other than the thought of exploring nudity in front of others,Ed likes this

OK. I take your point.
I can’t see myself daring to join anything, but part of me would like to.
The thing is that on a nudist beach (at least a foreign nudist beach in warm weather and if no one knows me!) there’s little taboo and I’m sure I’’d feel more comfortable naked than clothed. Then it isn’t sexual, so I feel that the experiments are to look at different situations, in which I run the risk of crossing the sexualised boundary, or the “seen by non-participants, who are scandalised” boundary, if there’s an outside element. -
A – Gender Dont mind
B- report write up report with blurred photos
C- paying Woud be willing to pay £60
D- content Don’t mind – But outdoor comes with laods of issues so it would need to be somewhere ‘safe’
E- touching -Allow touching while naked – Noted all the comments above and I think it depends on the mood of the people on the day if touching becomes part of it.
Defintely interested, reading the reponses I can see the issues with all male groups too, not too much entusiasm, although I think we are near to 6?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>South Cheshire. I work Monday to Friday, so weekend would be better for me.</p>
As I mentioned the other week I wrote off my car, but should have transport by the time any event is organised.Ed likes this

South west but can travel. Don’t think we are close to 6 without some female participants coming out the woodwork but look forward to something coming together at some point.

Greater London would be ideal for me. Some places in home counties might be possible, depending on trains and local buses. Or a bit further (eg Birmingham) if there’s a direct train.

M4 corridor is easiest for me (so anywhere from Swansea area to Reading or Slough). I’ll struggle with weekends. Weekdays are much easier for me, especially Monday-Wednesday.
One thing I’ve done in the past is collect some participants from the nearest train station and get them to the venue.

Reading would be good for me and probably other Londoners (it’s westward limit of free travel for senior citizens with a Freedom Pass).
Weekdays are also good too, assuming arrival is not needed before 11:30am.
But finding another 2M + 3F still seems like an insurmountable problem.

I would need time to get there anyway. I have commitments until around 9am so I would struggle to get to reading much before 11am.
Does everywhere for rent in Reading have CCTV??

If we have people in the north, the south east and south Wales, the obvious, reasonably, easy to get to hub would be Bristol or possibly Birmingham way
-
Outskirts of Bristol would be good. (The city centre has a nightmare road system, a congestion charge and very expensive parking).

If this experiment actually seems practical (and is mixed gender) then contact me. I’m still thinking about it and I gave my husband the Kindle report of experiment 2. He hasn’t freaked yet.

@Julie @patreon_163722564
I don’t think there are any experiments that are currently open for sign-up. Instead, this thread is an attempt (by a member, not by Ed) to establish what kind of event might be viable.
For a mixed event, at least two problems remain:
- finding at least two, or preferably more, women willing to take part (assuming there is less likelihood of shortage of men)
- finding a time, date and reasonably private place where the event could be held safely and the intended participants could get to
The first is still the major stumbling block. Apart from yourself, there doesn’t seem to be any women visiting here regularly enough to find even a second female likely to take part.
From that point of view, the various Naked Heart walks seem to be the best short term opportunity:
- those walks are already organised, and probably able to accommodate an arbitrary number of additional participants
- there are several in different parts of the UK on different dates, so you may be able to choose one (or more) that are convenient for you
- they’re clothing optional, so you could bring somebody else (who wouldn’t necessarily need to get naked) if you wanted
- you don’t need to get sponsors if you choose the donation option instead
