Welcome to my humble List of Links

This list is more or less permanently under construction, due to regular validity checks, searching for broken links, etc... and believe me, this keeps me busy... searching and typing... :)

Last validity check: January 31, 2010(barefoot links section)
Last update: January 31, 2010

NEW! - An extra page with links to friends I made in the Pleasure Palace web chat room (formerly located at CyberZine) can be viewed right now and HERE.
They truly are nice and special people and were fun to chat with. And, mind me, I am talking about chatting only, even if the PleasurePalace was an adult chat room.
The chat rooms are no longer in function, but still, I do not wish to lose this online buddy list of times long gone.


Links prepended by the are checked for and working!
(wherever this red ball shows, the link may be down momentarily...! Those links not having the are removed at the second check if they prove to be still defunct then.)

Some Useful Engines

Barefoot Free-Style dances - compiled by Dance New England
F.I.R.E Web site of the Firewalking Institute of Research and Education

Virtual Communities

Link Status:Link:Comments:
The MUD Connector - Find the MUD of your taste here (great database & search engine)
The Realm of Magic HomePage Certainly one of the best and most informative MUD homepages... recently re-designed. The new looks is nice, really... one or two things are not working 100%, though... the guestbook, for instance, seems to be slightly buggy. (referred and recommended by the German computer magazine ct.)
The FurryMUCK Home Page The non-graphic, but informative site about FurryMUCK
The TLK MUCK Home Page (The Lion King MUCK) A virtual visit to the Pride Lands of Walt Disney's The Lion King.

1. Bisexuality:

Link Status:Link:Comments:
bi.org - Serving the bisexual community
Religious Groups' Policies & Attitudes towards Homosexuals and Homosexuality - Although bisexuality is only mentioned shortly, this site is a neat reference for LesBiGays who want to know, what their local cleric has to say about these things. :)

2. Polyamory links:

Link Status:Link:Comments:
The Polyamory Society Resources and information about polyamory.
An FAQ on Polyamory Already linked from my personal personal page. But it cannot hurt to point at it from here as well

3. Alternative and communal living links

Link Status:Link:Comments:
The Rainbow Family of Living Light (unofficial, but highly informative HomePage!! - unofficial, since there is the belief that there should be no authorities within the Rainbow families, and no one should officially represent them)
Rainbow Gathering 1996 Site - Yet another Rainbow site... also very informative and enlightening.
rainbowinfo.de The German Rainbow Family information and forum web site.

4. Hemp links:

5. Naturism links:

Link Status:Link:Comments:
205 Arguments and Observations In Support of Naturism A long read - but definetely informative... and also a nice basis for backing your personal argumentation... Now presented in PDF format (requires Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader). The Main Page of the Naturist Society is found right below.
The Naturist Society"Educating in body acceptance and promoting clothing-optional lifestyles and recreational sites" on the WWW. (actual quote from their web page...) - one great and concise sourcce for information on naturism.
The Weekly Nudesletter Front Page A weekly web-based newsletter on nudism/naturism, listing articles, information, and links to web sites featuring the skyclad lifestyle.
The Nudesletter itself stopped in 2000, but there is a direct link to the new blog, that has been installed in its place.
CyberNudeTheir motto: 'Surf Nude!' (they mean the Web, in this sense... but since they also promote nudism, they might also think about and refer to surfing nude in real. :)) - Lots of information, ressources, and links to nudism web sites... also an entry point to a 'NudeMall' (why not shop in the nude...?)

Please note: These links will lead you to sites dealing with a lifestyle that is centered around nudity. It is likely that you will encounter images of human beings in the nude there. However, since it is not aimed at displaying pornography, but simply to exemplify the ease and feeling-well aspect of being sky-clad, there is nothing problematic in it. Anyway, if you are offended by the display of nudity even in this natural, harmless and non-pornographic way, then please do not follow these links. Thanks very much.


More links to come in the future!! Keep checking back!
