I'm slightly surprised at the number of people here who wouldn't participate in something like this.
As for me, I would and have gone to parties like this, and I have many friends who would say the same. A couple months ago I threw a lingerie party, which of course was clothing optional, but was only called a lingerie party because of one fairly conservative friend who was helping me set it up.
Naked doesn't have to mean sexual, though it often does. In my experience, I can be around a group of naked people in a very sexual setting or in just a friendly one. Most of my close friends, the ones that I've kept hanging out with through high school and college, would tend to feel the same way. In fact, I can truthfully say I've seen all of most of my male friends' bodies (and I've only slept with a couple of them). And some of the females' bodies too, though I don't have nearly as many female friends who are secure about themselves. Basically, for me and my group of friends that are into this it would be a no-brainer. But of course I have friends who wouldn't do it, not many of those are close friends though.
I have to wonder if the naked party idea sprang out of themed parties that got popular when I was in HS. As such it seems like it's something more popular with younger people (and of course, for many other reasons as well).
