Turns out when you ask for volunteers to remove their clothes and lie on top of a bunch of nude strangers, New Yorkers are surprisingly willing. To create the cover of our Naked Truth About Sex issue, photographer Wesley Mann shot 46 fearless peeps for nearly nine hours at Pier 59 at Chelsea Piers. They are real people—not models, not actors—representing a variety of shapes, sizes, backgrounds and orientations. They are you and me. (Well, you and me, only a little bit braver.)
For the full story on how New Yorkers are doing the dirty these days (hint: a lot of them are probably going here), check out this week’s issue of Time Out New York, on stands now. (And to learn just what kind of NYC lover you are, take our highly scientific quiz!)
