All those balls, all those pins. Get your mind out of the gutter!
Bowling is fun on its own. You get to hang out with your friends, it’s a competitive game that doesn’t require a lot of skill, and getting a strike is exhilarating. And yet the bowling industry keeps coming up with stuff like cosmic bowling and disco bowling and fancy food and all kinds of extraneous nonsense to make it more appealing. It doesn’t need all that! Bowling is a sport of kings as it is!
At least that’s what I thought, until I saw these pictures of the members of Sex Positive St. Louis bowling naked except for their shoes over at the Riverfront Times. Now I want to bowl naked. That would improve the bowling experience for sure, because it adds an element of danger. Bowling balls are heavy, and they’re swinging around next to other fragile, swingy, much lighter balls! Be careful, you nudist St. Lunatics!
This guy seems cool in a creepy way.
This man only bowls naked for the aerodynamic advantage.
Going for the turkey!
Bottomless is a tricky look, but she pulls it off.
Not bowling, but any good bowling alley has a pool table, too.
