Affirmation

I originally posted this on my blog,It's a Nude Heat.



I went to another one of those weekly parties that the

local Burner community does. They had a pool and as it got later, I

wanted to swim.

I had talked to one woman there earlier in the evening and she talked about swimming, even though the water was chilly.

“I don’t have a swimsuit. I hope it’s okay to get in with my clothes on,” she said.

“I’m the opposite. I hope it’s okay to go skinny dipping,” I said. She laughed.

“No rules!” she said.

I talked to the owner of the house. Even though it’s a Burner party, I

always ask because there are places where we can’t do nude swimming. It

sounded like he was reluctant, but then said, “It’s dark, just put on a

towel when you get out.”

I always do at these parties anyhow. It’s not much to ask.

I started to get undressed, and the friend I came with went to change

into a swimsuit. The woman I talked to earlier about swimming got in

the water and said, “You’re getting in too?”

“Yes,” I said while pulling down my underwear. I got in.

“Oh my God, you really are naked!” she said.

“Sure, why not?”

“That’s so awesome. I wish I could do that.”

She told her friends: “This guy is cool; he got naked!”

She high fived me for being naked. I didn’t expect that.
