Naked Bowling in St. Louis

Yep, you read that title correctly. Just recently, a bowling alley in Maplewood, Saratoga Lanes, held their first “clothing optional” bowling event. The event was organized by a group called Sex Positive St. Louis, a group of “sex bloggers” in the St. Louis area. Nude bowling may seem shocking at first, but this isn’t the first time St. Louis has hosted such an event. Carriage Bowl, which used to be located at Kingshighway and Arsenal Street but has since been closed down, also offered bowlers the opportunity to bowl nude.

I myself would prefer to wear clothes while bowling, but apparently others really enjoy naked bowling. According to David Wraith, a Sex Positive St. Louis blogger, one of the attendees at Saratoga Lanes told him that it was “his dream to bowl naked.” That’s the kind of dream I would call a nightmare.

While some support the idea of nude bowling, others question whether or not it’s legal. Missouri does have statutes regarding nudity, obscenity, and public indecency.

What do you think about bowling bare? Would you do it? Or do you think it’s indecent?
