So what kind of changes did I hope nudity would have on Becky? Having progressed beyond the concerns of being nude in public, the initial feeling is one of total freedom and I hoped this shared experience would create a new openness and honesty between Becky and I to talk about our sex life. With the act of taking off clothes you shed all worries and problems and for those few hours feel revived and free. I felt like my soul was open and I wanted to talk with Becky about anything and everything. No more stress or cares as the breeze and sun washed all those feelings away. I felt more like a human being among other humans, conversations were easier and pleasant, people were friendly and it was fun to simply talk and share. The feeling of the wind, sun and sand below my feel was amplified. The sound and feeling of the ocean water against my bare skin was more pleasant than I can remember and for a time I was carefree. I think about the times that I take off my shoes when I come home and the relaxing feeling this gives me. Taking off my clothes magnifies that feeling a hundred fold. Being nude is a hard state to describe because it is a different experience for every person but there was a oneness with the place I was in and the people I shared the experience with that made it forever imprinted in my memories which leads me to another aspect of the nude beach experience that I believe was very important. Being nude with others in a social setting.
Most people when they hear the word social setting think of dinners out or parties and gatherings with friends and family. Going to a nude beach is very much a social setting because you are sharing a very personal experience, yourself, with everyone else. Humans are very much social beings. Our language, our culture is designed to get us to interact in socially productive ways. By stripping away ones clothes, our social being comes forth in a more positive way. Nude beaches therefore are a dichotomy. On the one hand the etiquette of a nude beach says you can't gawk or stare but our social side wants to talk, look at the people who are there, have fun, make friends within this amazing environment of freedom. To socialize on a nude beach is fun and exciting.
So when we see others who are naked our first inclination is to look and be curious. We want to size each other up to fully experience the nude environment. Why be nude if you can't look and enjoy? It was most surprising to see that the majority of people looked pretty good on a nude beach. Maybe it was the sun, ocean and sand but most people even if they were a little older and overweight didn't look too bad. On the other hand, there maybe some self selection going on. Maybe those who go to nude beaches also may care more about their bodies and work harder to look better.
What was it about being on a nude beach that is magical? Was it the simplicity where nothing was needed but the ocean and the sand for a spectacular experience? Was it the casualness of the experience, was it the sun, the surf and the beach that made getting nude seem like this was too wonderful to pass up? Was it the excitement of being nude with other nude people? The nude beach experience was exhilarating and matched no other for the magic it engendered. You don't want to leave and you can't wait to go back.
Sunday was very warm and we drove a rental car to the springs, stopping for lunch in a town along the way. The final two miles were flat was among the forest so the scenery was wonderful and the excitement of what was to come filled me with a heightened anticipation. We had brought cash for the trial pass to get to the springs since you must walk through forest to get there. The springs themselves are a succession of hot springs that flow at a fair pace downhill so the water is quite clean. Each lower pool is a little cooler than the last so you can always find your own comfortable temperature.
In the near distance, was the first sign we had reach our destination, a younger man was laying on his side blanket with his back toward us. We could see his naked butt clearly. Two girls in their mid twenties near him got up from their blankets and walked toward a pool. The first, a blond and had her hair tied behind her, falling down her back. She had large full breast with areolas large enough to be visible from a distance. She was trim with a shapely ass and a tattoo of a stylized sun on her left butt cheek. All I could think was "Oh, my God what a beauty." The second girl was a brunette with smaller breast, a trim figure and tanned body. Our first exposure to this nude area had already caused me look in wonder at the magic setting of these naked nymphs in the forest.
We walked further past cascading pools of hot spring water looking for a place to place our towels and by now everyone we saw had no clothes. An older husband and wife were walking in the opposite direction back up to the trail. Becky asked me within earshot of the couple how far we had to go. The older woman mentioned
"You could go down another couple hundred feet," catching herself she then said.
"Not that I'm tell you to go down that far. You could stay right her if you like." You could see she felt bad she thought she was telling us to go somewhere else. She touched my arm saying.
"Please stay right here."
I hadn't even met this woman and she acted like she already knew me.
I was enjoying the fact Becky was now seeing the nicer side of a nude beach? Already people seemed pleasant, open and friendly.
I picked a grassy spot in the middle of a large group of naked men and woman which was open to the sun through the forest canopy. A younger woman had dug a trench nearby and was lying in it, maybe hoping for some coolness from the earth to offset the warmth of the springs. She had a tan achieved by many days of naked sunbathing, with full breast and a completely shaved pussy. Behind her stood a couple of guys and a woman who also seemed part of this group. The two guys had beet red tans that clearly had been worked on over several weeks at the springs. Both had little paunches that stuck out, a result of their mid-forties and too many beers consumed. The woman also appeared in her mid-forties and was rounded all over. She was a pleasant looking woman, slightly over weight but still youthful, with large boobs without a hint of droop. Her areolas were very light blended into her reddish tanned breasts and nubby nipples.
In the vicinity were a few other groups of guys and woman laying on their towels or sitting in chairs talking and enjoying the warm weather. I was surprised there was not a strong contingency of older people but maybe the distance you had to travel to the springs kept most away. Most people were couples and a few same sex. Everyone seemed quite comfortable with the free nudity around them. One couple tossing a ball and it was pleasant watching her breasts while she played. I looked over, across a short stretch of terrain at a woman lying on her side. The image of her arms, back, bottom and legs seemed to be lifted right out of a painting. All around me it seemed the conversation was easy and interesting. I was having an epiphany. Being naked had a mystical, religious quality. Naked men and woman really do look beautiful together. Even if someone were overweight or had marks, scars or they were not the most attractive person when they were clothed. Take off their clothes and put them outside and suddenly there is real beauty in the naked body.
Many people have talked about the feeling of freedom you get when you are on a nude beach. The sun, sand and the breeze all add to the experience. The first few moments are the most delicate since unless you have been there before you don't know what to expect and what others will think. I could hardly keep from thinking about how Becky would feel when she removed her clothes among all these strangers. Though I had seen her naked many times before this would be a new situation and the anticipation of seeing her in this setting was overwhelming.
