Naked Boys Reading LDN is the perfect intimate live event: a nude literary salon featuring in-the-buff readings by local beefcakes, bears, twinks, otters, butch femmes, sissy sluts, boys next door with an exhibitionist streak, and lovers of naturism with a well-endowed library.

The organisers, Justin Hunt and Alex Karotsch spoke to Polari Magazine.

“Naked Boys Reading LDN began as a conversation about putting on performance-based events at Vogue Fabrics,” said Justin. “I had been involved with the folks who set up Naked Girls Reading in New York and thought it would be fun to try a version featuring boys in the Vogue Fabrics basement.”

According to Alex, “When Justin mentioned the idea I immediately thought it’d be a brilliant event and would fit perfectly with the ethos of Vogue Fabrics. Entertaining, sexy, cheeky; something for the eye and the brain. For our first instalment we gave our readers free range in choosing literature and the way they perform it, but for future events we are planning to have some very loose themes. We’re already looking for performers for the next event, so anyone who’s interested should get in touch.”

Hosted by Sharon Husbands and The Duchess of Pork, the inaugural Naked Boys line up features Ernesto Sarezale, Chris Miller, James Stanley Thomas, Alun Davies and a special guest.

“The audience can expect to enjoy an evening of literature and the boys that love it,” said Justin. “We’re engaging with the notion of the salon, here. Drinks, music, and socializing mixed with some bookish man-flesh. What more could you want?”
