Anyone ever join in the opening undressing ceremony of Body Electric?
It is very cool. Each guy is slowly undressed one by one. Each guy receives the following attention by all the guys surrounding him - first there is light touch by everyone all over his body followed by the request "may I remove your ______ (one item of clothes)" when that item is removed, again all the guys lightly touch his skin as he begins to feel very sensual. He is then asked if another item may be removed following the same hands on touch by all the other guys. This continues until every item of clothes are removed and he is standing naked before them. At this point, they will all lightly touch him everywhere from head to toe as he stands before them nude. The group then begins with another guy following the same ritual. This continues until everyone in the room is naked. It is extremely sensual and arousing.
I have been to a BE workshop and the undressing ritual is imprinted on my memory. I was nervous when first arriving, as I hadn't been naked around others. All anxieties are quickly displaced as you are surrounded by others in a very loving ritual. Before this event I didn't realize that being naked with strangers could create such an intimate bond.
