The Naked Truth about Hedonism II: A Totally Unauthorized, Naughty But Nice Guide to Jamaica's Very Adult Resort (Paperback)

Laugh till you wet your undies
(If you didn't cleverly forget them again.)
Learn why Hedonism II has a 90% repeat guest rate—the highest of any Caribbean hotel—even though the facilities are tired, the food is mediocre, and the beach sand hurts your feet—if you are still standing after a week.

Is Hedonism II a retirement home for worn-out swingers? Is it a testosterone tour-de-force with too few eligible single women to clamor over? Is it a cult that sucks away all your vacation time? Well, the last one might be true.

The Naked Truth About Hedonism II tells you what to expect at this unique resort and how to make the most of a vacation there. You'll learn the myths, the truths, and the tips that will make your vacation to Hedonism II the best trip you'll ever take—again and again. Warning: Don't sip a soda pop while reading this book. The bubbles will burn your nostrils as the drink shoots out your nose.

The Myths: Only young singles go to Hedonism II. People walk around naked everywhere. Open sex is rampant. Someone will try to steal your wife.

Every myth has its truths...but Hedonism II is 50% couples—and most guests are over 30, full nudity is only allowed on one beach, the hotel does not permit public sex, and your wife—well, that's her choice. But at Hedonism II you will see what you've never seen before...And you might do it too!

Guests of Hedonism II experiment with whatever they consider exotic: be it swinging on the trapeze, floating naked on a raft, or dancing on the stage in a bed sheet in front of 500 people. The hotel is an adult kid camp where friends meet time after time.

The Naked Truth About Hedonism II reveals the real rules of the hotel—and they are only published here. It tells how to handle the public erection (don't handle it!).

You'll laugh at the many "Tales from the Naked City"—the pages are chock-full of stories to keep you grinning about the man with the sheep, the games on the nude beach (well beyond ring toss), and the young men on their quest for an exchange of bodily fluids.

The 384-page softcover book is 5½ by 8½ inches with 32 pages of color photos and many other pages with B/W photos.

"We just got our copy yesterday and can't put it down. We want to read it together, but are finding the other sneaking ahead, when the other is busy. The book is fun, informative, and very entertaining. We recommend it to anyone who is going for the first time, like us."
--Pat and Craig Newton, Orange, Calif.

"I started reading the book immediately and almost got in a car accident on the way back to work because I wasn't paying attention as I was trying to read and drive at once. Showed the book to my co-worker, who has been jealous of my Hedo trip, and about 20 minutes later I almost had to pull her hair to get her to give it back to me. She was engrossed. Finished it tonight. Missed ER. You know what that takes? Loved it. Laughed out loud many times, read parts out loud to whomever would listen, and now want to get back to Hedo even more than I did before."
--Cindy Braatz, Waterloo, Iowa

"The Hedo II book is like an ice cream cone...totally delicious, you'll savor every lick, so good that you want to gulp it right down but you also want to make it last as long as possible…for the disappointment of not wanting to see it end. Great job."
--Bob Yerks, Plainview, N.Y.

"The Naked Truth About Hedonism II is a must-read for anyone who's been to Hedo, wants to go to Hedo, or thinks the resort is all wrong for them. As soon as I read it, I couldn't wait to go back-I've already made my reservations! People who've never been there before are always asking me questions about it. Santilli answers them all with tons of great anecdotes. She sums up the essence of Hedo and its goofy guests-which I've been! Her tips-about everything from what you might not know to bring to how to get rid of the Residudes to finding beach towels-bring to life a hotel that is not accurately portrayed by most media."

"I received The Naked Truth about Hedonism II and immediately set about reading the book from cover to cover. Having been to Hedonism II twice, and currently waiting through this prison sentence of 90 or so days between our reservations and the our '98 trip, it's nice to be entertained with stories of that little Jamaican resort that has captured so many of us in a grip so tight that it's hard to contemplate vacationing elsewhere.
"Ms. Santilli's expose of Hedonism II is similar to the resort itself-wildly intriguing, always entertaining, and sure to please some and offend others. As a written guide to Hedo, it accurately described the resort, the many types of guests, what you should expect if you've never taken a vacation there, without deteriorating into a cacophony of second-hand stories of wild stories (though there are a few). The book is peppered with anecdotes throughout, no doubt gleaned in part from the AOL Hedonism II message board, as well as Chris' friendships with some of the more colorful of that group known as 'Repeat Offenders' (to which I now belong).
"What you won't find is graphic prose describing intimate encounters or wild tales of late-night hot tub antics. Nor will you find much in the way of titillating gossip, or tell-all discourses on sexual escapades. Gratefully, Ms. Santilli has concentrated on describing the flavor of the resort, not on the tedious ingredient list. She does, however, describe the 'main ingredients'-the returning organizations of friends, the unique characters who frequent the resort on an annual, and sometimes much more frequent, basis. Having been there several times, that was interesting to me.
"I especially enjoyed the section about Games to Play on the Nude Beach. I'm sure they have all been played at one time or the other and will look into arranging our next vacation to coincide with a more lively group just to see the Games.
"All in all, if you! enjoy Hedo, or think you would, it's an entertaining book and will probably hold a few tidbits even for those of you who have been there a dozen times or so. If you're thinking about Hedo, and want more information about the resort, and what goes on there, I recommend it highly. On the other hand, if you're looking for stories and pictures of a sexual nature, I recommend you go buy an adult magazine.
"After reading it, I can't wait to go again. Had I not been there before, I would be intrigued, amused, and reaching for the phone."
