Gay Iberia - Sex & Nudity in Spain
Gay sex in Spain
Many bars have dark rooms, most towns have a bar that puts on underwear or/and naked nights and in the larger cities there are gay
nudist bars and gay sex bars where almost anything goes, and without fear of a police raid!
If you've never been to an underwear party, you really should try one. You have nothing to be embarassed about. Everyone else is in 
underwear too and there are always some naked as well. Just about everyone has an erection or is showing their bulge off as best they 
can. It's a very raunchy affair. Any type of underwear goes but make sure it's a good mark or you may feel out dressed by everyone else.
Don't think everyone's going to be old, it's nearly always quite the opposit. Of course, if it's a Bears bar you should expect mostly Bears.
If it's a naked party or bar, well we'll leave it to your imagination to figure out what a bar full of naked gay men is like!
Make sure you have a supply of condoms with you. Sadly it's surprising how many guys in Spain have anal sex without protection. A 
big part of that has to do with the fact that condoms are not readily available. They are rarely given out in bars, discos etc. A pharmacy 
is usually the only place to get them and they are expensive. Bring a big supply with you and if you don't use them all, give 'em away to
one of your tricks. Recent news has stated that Spain has one of the most rapid HIV infection rates in the world and estimated that 1 in
5 affected don't even know they are. Don't be the next one!!!
It is not illegal to be gay in Spain
Homosexuality has been decriminalised in Spain since 1822.
Sex in bars, clubs, saunas and public places
It is not illegal to have sex on private premises such as bars, clubs, saunas, if all concerned parties are consenting and of legal age. It is
also not illegal to have sex in open spaces such as the nudist beach provided that...
1. All persons are consenting and of legal age.
2. It is not in the presence of minors or those with learning disabilities.
There is an offence of exhibitionism and sexual provocation, but for this to happen there would have to be minors or mentally disabled
persons present and you would have to provoke others or yourself to be sexually excited.  Both of these situations need to exist; one on
its own would not be an offence.
The police can ask you to get dressed, but you can refuse without causing an offence. Police may tell you that you can be arrested for
public scandal but they cannot as this law does not exist anymore. There may be local bylaws in existence but these are not legal if 
they do not conform to the constitution. You may also be naked and have sex in you own home, open spaces such as terraces and
balconies without causing an offence.
Nudity in public places
Its a fundamental right according to the constitution to be nude in any public place such as parks, beaches, lakes and rivers. It is not
illegal in fact to be naked anywhere in Spain, according to the constitution, however pubic acceptance would not take kindly to your 
bank manager being naked at work for example.
The constitution clearly states that "One has the right to one´s own image and clothing, or absence thereof."
It is interesting to note that the many nudist beaches set aside for the naturist in Spain are illegal in themselves.  This is because by
setting aside these authorised areas it indicates that other areas of a beach are where clothes must be worn, which in itself is untrue 
and unlawful as you may be naked in any open space, anywhere in Spain.
So enjoy the freedom only found in this fabulous country to be naked as and where you wish and to have sex in open spaces without the
fear of being arrested or harassed by authorities.
If you're wondering where you stand with an erection in public, that too is ok, as long as its not the result of, or accompanied by lude 
behavior.
