This naughty but nice guide to Jamaica's all-inclusive, very adult resort tells what to except at Hedonism II and how to make the most of it. All the naked and silly stories are true, and you'll laugh till you wet your undies. (If you didn't cleverly forget them again.) Learn about the antics that keep guests returning to Hedonism II, an all-inclusive Jamaican resort, giving it the highest repeat-guest counts of any Caribbean hotel. The Naked Truth About Hedonism II tells you what to expect at this unique resort and how to make the most of a vacation there. You'll learn the myths, the truths, and the tips that will make your vacation to Hedonism II the best trip you'll ever take-again and again. Warning: Don't sip a soda pop while reading this book. The bubbles will burn your nostrils as the drink shoots out your nose. The Myths: Only young singles go to Hedonism II. People walk around naked everywhere. Open sex is rampant. Someone will try to steal your wife. Every myth has its truths...but Hedonism II is 50% couples-and most guests are over 30, full nudity is only allowed on one beach, the hotel does not permit public sex, and your wife-well, that's her choice. But at Hedonism II you will see what you've never seen before...And you might do it too! Guests of Hedonism II experiment with whatever they consider exotic: be it swinging on the trapeze, floating naked on a raft, or dancing on the stage in a bed sheet in front of 500 people. The hotel is an adult kid camp where friends meet time after time. The Naked Truth About Hedonism II revealqs the real rules of the hotel-and there are only three of them. It tells how to handle the public erection (don't handle it!) and where to find beer at 7 a.m. before the bars open. You'll laugh at the many "Tales from the Naked City"-the pages are chock-full of stories to keep you grinning about the man with the sheep, the games on the nude beach (well beyond ring toss), and the young men on their quest for an exchange of bodily fluids. The 189-page softcover book is 51/2 by 81/2 inches with 26 black-and-white photos.
