"Moral Support: James Van Hise, Sandra Gent, Virginia Green, [and] Half of Fandom. Immoral Support: The other half of fandom. No Support: Mary Sue."
"Due to the tremendous interest shown at the last minute, there are several copies still available for purchase. AN AGE STATEMENT MUST ACCOMPANY ALL ORDERS. Tell your friends! Tell your enemies!"
"A Pon Farr Press publication respectfully dedicated to anyone who has ever loved.... in a different way..."
This zine has a second long, long (two pages, single-spaced) editorial that has roughly three sections. 
The first explains why the zine was ultimately printed in four different shops -- 1) a paper shortage due to a strike, 2) the editor's unexpected move from Miami to San Diego, 3) the main printer in San Diego, despite agreeing in advance to print material "of a homosexual nature," refused to follow through with the contract. 
The second part of the editorial is Van Hise's extensive comments on bigoted people, the importance of keeping one's personal and professional beliefs and duties separate, and Christianity. 
The third part of the editorial addresses the tensions in Star Trek fandom at the time regarding Kirk/Spock fan material. For excerpts from this third part, see If we, as K/S fans, do not collectively, and SUDDENLY stop "feeding the flames," it is certain that no one ever will..

* A Bitter Marriage by Della Van Hise, art by Al Zequeira (73)

But… Kirk is compelled to follow his fleeing companion into a world where he is truly unskilled and unprotected… and fair game for slavers who seek to exploit his unusual qualities.

==Issue 4/5 (aka Issue 4/5: Part One)==
Naked Times 4/5 (part one) is undated. The flyer said it had been planned for "sometime during late spring or early summer 1980." A comment in A Question of Balance's editorial, a zine that was published in 1980, says "NAKED TIMES #4 will be a double ish from the looks of it right now, making it NT#4-5. Again, the reasons are numerous, not the least of which is that it'll have been nearly a year since NT#2 came out by the time NT#4-5 is ready, and I've got a lot of good material which should be in print instead of gathering dust on my shelf." It appears to have been published in 1981. From a fan in the UK zine called Communicator #10 (February 1983): "I ordered this zine in. September 1981and paid $14.50 which, I presume, entitles me to both parts when -and if Part II appears. Part I came in April 1982." it was listed as available for purchase in the Oct/Dec 1982 issue of Universal Translator but the current online flyer at Fanzines Plus says that its original publication date was 1983 -- While it is possible that the current flyer is referring to the issue as it was bound together, even that date doesn't match other information. It contains 134 pages. The art by Vel Jaeger, Ellen Blevins, Barbara P. Gordon. 
This issue was edited by D. Hawks.
The flyer published in "Naked Times" #3 lists two stories that were not included in the finished zines. They are:
* "Pet" by Ruth Kurz ("Spock is stranded on a planet where slavery is rampant and times are harsh. But... this time, Kirk isn't his master.")
* "Ni Var: The Slave" by Fiona James ("In this universe, Vulcans -- one in particular -- never made it into Starfleet... not as an officer, anyway. A surprising tender story set in the Mirror universe") 
 
* Editorial (1A)
* The End of the Beginning by Maggie S. Hart (This is a very poignant and touching story concerning Spock's trek to Gol -- and how it affected those he left behind. Told through the eyes of Leonard McCoy, it traces the lingering effects Spock's departure has had on Kirk. One of the first Gol stories.) (1)
* Triune by Vel Jaeger (13)

* The House on Beacon Street by Susan Wyllie (37)
* Crisis by Merlin Adams (38)
* What Other Choice? by Joy Mancinelli (What occurs when Kirk and Spock are separated through professional avenues in order to pursue slightly different paths? This gives us a look at the effects absence has on the hearts and minds… and whether any relationship can withstand professional commitments which were made before a relationship began.) (39)
* Love Endures by Gena Delapenia (51)
* Possessed by Ray Newton (One of the most surprising K/S stories ever to be written. A tightly controlled plot set in the mirror universe leads us to believe on thing… when another thing entirely is really transpiring. Twists and turns -- sexy and sometimes frustrating! Prequel: Possession in issue #2, a story by Toni Cardinal-Price) (52)

==Issue 5 (aka Issue 4/5: Part Two)==
 
 
Naked Times 5 ("a.k.a. v. 4/5 part two") was published in December 1984 and contains 84 pages. Many fans had waited since 1981 or so, (over three years since they had paid for it) for the zine to arrive. For excerpts from the lengthy editorial, see Time Will Tell. Topics of the editorial included a proposed name change of the zine to "The Amok Time" as well as comments regarding the lateness and problems in this issue's printing. This long wait made MANY fans very angry. See comments below.
The original plan was for the zine to be printed at a copy shop. Instead, it was printed on a home photocopy machine, a "Royal 2502 copier stationed in editor's living room." 
The front cover by Karen K. is a variation of the art used for Trek Continuum #2. The interior art is by Virginia Lee Smith and Caro Hedge.
The copyright statement: 
The zine's dedication: 
* Time Will Tell, editorial (addresses the lateness of this issue, future plans for content, a possible name change of the zine to "Amok Times," and another retelling of Van Hise's troubles at the printing shop regarding this issue) (2)

* Naked Before the Devil by Robin Hood, illos by Virginia Lee Smith (Desiring Spock, the ruler of a planet hold him and Kirk over night, ”allowing” them to be together one time before he takes Spock. This is the story of imprisonment on an alien world -- with Kirk being at the mercy of his truly alien captors. This is an exploration of Kirk's character in a slightly different way -- giving him room to grow, and perhaps enough reason to express those emotions which some fans think him incapable of expressing! A story of sacrifice and reunion, joy and sorrow.) (15 pages) (18)
* Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines, poem by Toni Cardinal-Price (34)

(Part IV of the OUTWORLD series which appeared in NT #1-#3. This installment finally delivers Kirk to the dreaded outworlds -- a series of asteroids perfect for the purpose of holding high-ranking Starfleet officers captive… officers who know too much… officers who do not always abide by the wishes of their superior officers who might one day find out about the existence of the Outworlds and destroy them once and for all. A K/S story with many different twists and turns… and a series of secrets which lead Kirk back to a childhood other than the one he once remembered.) (37)

Many fans waited well over three years for their copy of this zine to arrive. The publisher/editor cited the reasons for this were: the poor economy and lack of money, a born-again Christian who destroyed her zine at the print shop, boxes of zines that the post office refused to send to MediaWest*Con, personal issues... 
From the editorial of A Question of Balance (1980): 
From a personal statement in June 1982 to Universal Translator: 
From a letter in late September 1982 to K/S & K.S. (Kindred Spirits) #2: 
From Not Tonight, Spock! #2, spring 1984, comments by Della Van Hise: 
In October 1984, Van Hise wrote to Datazine #32 stating that she had to completely re-do Naked Times #4/5 part two as her "born-again printer" had completely destroyed the original and the dummy copies after she had paid her bill in full: 
In May 1985, Della Van Hise wrote to Communicator: 
===Reactions and Reviews: Issue 5 (aka Issue 4/5: Part Two)===
1985: 
==Issue 4/5 (Combined Later Issue)== 
The zine was, much later, published as a 220-page combined volume and used the cover by Mike Verina that was originally used on the first half of this zine. 
Oddly, the publisher's website says the "original publication date" was 1983 , which is untrue. The original publication date of the first half was 1981 and the second half was late 1984.
==Issue 6==
Naked Times 6 was published in April 1985 and has 109 pages. The front and back covers are by Vel Jaeger.
The only interior art is a single illo on the inside back cover by Mahlon L. Fawcett (not credited in the table of contents). The rest of the interior decor is clip art and screen shots.
This issue was edited by Alexis Fegan Black.
The editorial discusses two major topics. First, was censorship of slash and fannish bickering, see Banned in Anaheim. The other part of the editorial is about the zine itself:

This issue was edited by Alexis Fegan Black.
"Naked Times #7 is is dedicated to the concept of IDIC — the infinity of life in this universe, whether seen or imagined — and how
those lifeforms combine to create harmony and new understanding. Without those differences, we would all be very much the same... but it is the differences which lend balance to a chaotic and often confusing universe."

* The Face in the Crowd, poem by Donna Rose Vanderlaan (24)
* Will I Never?, poem by Donna Rose Vanderlaan (24)
* A Tribute to Friendship 	by Joann Marek (Since the completion of the Fal Tor Pan it is McCoy who has seemed to crumble. He is withdrawn within himself, confiding in no one. Spock is aware of the doctor's pain and takes the opportunity to follow him to the ceremonial place of the Fal Tor Pan to offer aid. Their long conversation reviews much of their past relationship before Spock insists the doctor face his own pain.) (25)

But time wears on and Madame Cassandra's predictions begin to take on an uncanny reality… until the day that Kirk's first officer innocently suggests passing a day of shore leave at a circus with oddly familiar tents and creatures…) (103)

* It's a Jungle Out There, editorial (The editor expresses her displeasure at hearing rumors TPTB have written Saavik being pregnant by Spock as well as the troubles with Killing Time.

* Sensation, poem by D. Booker (5)
* Dust, poem by Robin Hood (6)
* The No-Po-Et, poem by Bonnie Guyan (8)
* Fantasies by Kathy Resch (Certainly, a dream had caused this. Perhaps Spock had thought of cool water and, in his enormous need, an enormous quantity had been created. He had so little control left. Bits and pieces of visions paraded across the sky, upon the ground, around him. Zarabeth's gray eyes, proud breasts flaunting themselves before him; Leila's cool blondeness, the Romulan Commander's emeralds lips… Yet the visions vanished in fragments, torn pieces blow away in the wind…) (9)

* Night Watch, poem by D. Booker (65)

* Just a Touch of Imagination by Jenny Starr (Stuck in a cell awaiting rescue, Kirk takes Spock on a fantasy to pass the time. "Spock, are you trying to tell me you don't have an imagination?" "I am attempting to tell you, Captain, that 'imagination' is contrary to the laws of logic. And logic tells me that the temperature of these stones upon which we are sitting is not conducive to--" "I've got an idea. We'll weave some fantasies for each other." "'Weave'?"

* In the Eye of the Storm by Alexis Fegan Black (GEN After the fal tor pan, Spock expresses what he felt while his katra resided within McCoy.) (123)
* Day for Night by Alexis Fegan Black (Kirk jumped, damming himself for the melancholy and preoccupation with the past. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be, Jim, old boy? a nagging thought whispered. When you start getting old, you're expected to surround yourself with antiques and tell the same stories over and over. You're well on your way, now aren't you? His eyes closed, and he gave himself a mental command to let it go. Looking to Spock, he managed a weak smile, grateful to have the Vulcan's company during this time when things were so much closer to the end that the beginning…) (127)

"About the way things… our lives… will happen…") (135)

I will wager an entire mission if you will wager the slave you no longer want." Telonne seemed dubious. "I don't know." "It would be no loss to you, as he will undoubtedly be killed anyway," Spock pointed out. "I hold no restrictions on that. If I end up with a dead human, you still receive your million credits.") (7)

The great claws were sheathed, and McCoy recalled how the cat had come to rescue him against the boar on the planet's surface. "Guess he's safe enough, Jim, but… be careful." Kirk nodded, but continued to hold the paw as he began talking tot he animal. "Do you recognize me? Do you… recognize my voice?" The cat opened its eyes wider and blinked, then withdrew its paw from Kirk's hold and gently swiped the lock of hair which fell over the captain's forehead. "Well I'll be," McCoy said incredulously.

"It was the first time I had been alone in my father's house," Spock recalled. "Initially, my sense of curiosity was sufficient to distract me from the normal routine of study and meditation. However," he added, looking through the stardome, "as darkness fell and the house became silent, I grew more aware of my own… aloneness." He paused again, sighing heavily. "I sat by the front window in my father's study, in the chair behind his desk. And for many hours I stared out into the desert, allowing my thoughts to create what would undoubtedly be labeled 'fantasies' by humans." His lips tightened. "I was six then." Kirk smiled wistfully, easily able to picture the scene. "Go on," he urged. "In those few hours, Jim," Spock continued presently, "I came to understand that each creature is a solitary unit -- existing solely within the confines of its own subjective experience. For those few hours, I was overwhelmed with feeling -- with the absolute knowledge that even the experience I was enduring could never be shared, never be understood by anyone else." His eyes were bright, distant. "It was the awakening of the Self," he added in a mere whisper…") (115)
