About Us
Our purpose:
-OMEN is a not-for-profit social fellowship for adult gay male naturists/nudists.
Confidentiality & Golden Rule:
-Confidentiality & respect are required.
-“The Golden Rule” applies, … members contribute “a playful and engaging spirit” and “a good attitude and open heart to enjoy those present.”
Events:
-Events typically include a potluck meal in a private home.
-Everyone brings a suitable food offering to share, an individual beverage, and a towel to sit on.
-“Common sense & common courtesy” require each individual to be responsible for respecting comfort levels of others.
Legal & Lawful:
-OMEN is a social fellowship (not a sex club), and does not equate private nudity (which is legal in Oregon) with sexual license.
-Behaviors that are illegal or endanger personal or group welfare (disturbing the peace, illicit drugs, public obscenity, etc.) are prohibited.
Membership:
-Requirements of membership are listed in our Guidelines.
-Membership requires the completion and submission of an OMEN Membership form. [Private homes are open to fellow members only.]
