Feel the heat

This summer party is hot in Key West: Tropical Heat, the ‘hottest event for men’

August in Key West means one thing: the heat. We mean Tropical Heat, the all-male weekend on Aug. 14-18, with four days and nights of events all over Old Town. Theme parties, fetish parties, get-naked-in-public parties, the schedule is filled with chances to get yourself into trouble.

Of the 14 official events during Tropical Heat, six are clothing optional, and of course the other eight will involve men wearing the bare minimum of what can be considered clothing. There is toga night, and fetish night, and foam party night, and a fun theme always makes things more creative.

But there are so many other things to do in Key West besides go to parties! Step away from the bacchanalia and take a romantic sunset cruise (or take the all-male naked sandbar trip on Sunday, on Blu Q), visit a museum, or make a map of all the places that sell Key lime pie and then sample as many as possible. Trust us, the Key lime pie hunt is a challenge with delicious rewards.

Speaking of delicious, let’s look at some photos of the shenanigans at Key West’s fine all-male establishments:
