"Teaching" on the Love Boat could simply be leading a conversation...

f you’ve lived something that shaped you, changed you, cracked you open, or gave you perspective, you’re welcome to bring that into the 2026 Love Boat. You don’t need to teach a class or have a polished presentation. Sometimes the most powerful thing is simply holding space for an honest conversation.
Here are just a few examples of what that might look like:

• You went through a dramatic weight loss that shifted how you see your body, your confidence, or your relationships.
• You’ve been through prostate cancer, a major illness, or a serious health scare and have come out the other side with insight you wish you’d had earlier.
• You’re knowledgeable about certain medications, treatments, or health choices and can speak from lived experience, not theory.
• You lived through a particular moment in history and remember what it actually felt like to be there.
• You were around for Studio 54, leather bars before cell phones, early Pride marches, or a time when being visible carried real risk.
• You navigated coming out later in life and understand the mix of relief, grief, and reinvention that comes with it.
• You rebuilt your life after addiction, burnout, or a complete personal reset.
• You’ve experienced deep grief and found a way to keep living with softness and humor intact.
• You’ve been in long-term partnership and can speak honestly about what endurance, intimacy, and compromise really look like over time.

  Ahoy GoNaked family!
  Every year, one of my favorite things happens: our readers step forward and say, “I’ve got something to share.” And every year, you blow me away.
  On Sunday, March 22 (10am to midnight ET), we’re setting sail again for the GoNaked Love Boat, our all-day, clothing-optional, Zoom-based learning and connection event. This is your official invitation to teach, lead, demo, discuss, guide, or facilitate a mini-workshop for our community.
  If you’ve ever thought:
• “I know a thing or two about this…”
• “I’d love to talk about something I care deeply about…”
• “I’ve learned this the hard way and others might benefit…”
  This is for you.
  I've been Waiting for this! I Wanna Lead a Session!
  What can you teach?
  Honestly? Almost anything.
  Past sessions have covered:
• Sexuality, kink, pleasure, and body exploration
• Life skills, tech, Zoom basics, AI, and creative tools
• Spirituality, poetry, art, and literature
• Health, wellness, pelvis work, coaching, and self-growth
• Cooking, crafting, quilting, travel, and entrepreneurship
• Identity, disability, aging, masculinity, vulnerability, and joy
  If it’s authentic, consensual, and comes from lived experience, we’re open to it.

How it works

• Sessions are typically 30–60 minutes
• You’ll be scheduled into a themed “Deck” (breakout room)
• Attendance is FREE for participants
• Presenters volunteer their time as a gift to the community
• Some sessions may be recorded for replay, if you’re comfortable with that
  You do not need to be a “professional.”
  You do need to be real, respectful, and willing to share.
  I Want to Present at Love Boat 2026!

Ready to come aboard?
Fill Out the Application and tell me:

1. Your name
2. A working title for your session
3. A short description (2–4 sentences is perfect)
4. Preferred session length (30, 45, or 60 minutes)
5. Any content notes we should be aware of
   We’ll build the full schedule from there and publish it ahead of the event.
   This community works because you show up with your whole self.
   If that’s you, I want you on this boat.
   So come on aboard.
   We’ve been expecting you.
   Take care, stay bare,
   Nick
