Will Forest is the author of novels that bring new contexts to naturist fiction. Based on real events, Co-ed Naked Philosophy explores the changes brought to a college community by a group of intrepid students and professors who take off their clothes to take on social conventions. Aglow follows the adventures of a historian and an art collector as they discover ancient testimonies from the 16th and 17th-century Americas that reveal a radical new understanding of nudity in nature. Skinners and its sequel Song of the Sea Witch portray the lives of clothesfree buccaneers and maroons in the 17th-century Caribbean. Forest is also the co-editor and a featured author of the short story anthologies Murder in the Nudist Colony, Romance in the Nudis ...more

As you say, there are same-sex relationships in Skinners, and that's also true of my novel Co-ed Naked Philosophy, as well as in The Nude Adventures of Doff de Chonez pa' su Mecha ("Naturist Don Quixote" on my site, nudescribe.com). It is true that none of these relationships involve the main characters. However, there is a polyamorous relationship that develops among main characters at the end of Skinners - some of them are bisexual - and I'm carrying it over into the sequel, which is my current work-in-progress. Other than that, I have no plans at present involving gay principal characters, but I am happy to give it thought. LGBTQ+ representation is important! Thanks again for your feedback.(less)

No, they are not a romantic couple, but their personalities gradually influence each other over the course of the two volumes. Quixote ends up more like Sancho at the end, and Sancho more like Quixote. Their influence of back-and-forth friendship can be felt in fictional duos from Tom and Huck to Frodo and Sam, Thelma and Louise to Spongebob and Patrick and C-3PO and R2-D2. Don Quixote: certainly one of the best books of all time.(less)
