I met my friend Maria in town some months ago and we went to have coffee together. I hadn’t seen her for over a year so we had a lot of news to catch up on. Maria told me she was still nursing and I said that I was earning money mainly painting but also doing some supply teaching in art at some of the local schools. Eventually we got round to the question of holidays.
“Booked up your holiday yet?” I asked.
“I haven’t actually booked yet but I picked up a very interesting brochure in the library last week and I’ve now received details of a naturist retreat that’s only for women.”
I was interested. “Oh, sounds good. Tell me all about it.”
“Well, it’s called Robert’s Retreat and is located at a farm on a small island which, of course, makes it very private and suitable for nudist life.”
“I believe in getting an all-over tan,” I replied. “I wouldn’t mind a week or two nude, in the sun.”
“Well, I’ve made up my mind to go. Like to join me?”
I thought for a moment. “OK. If the dates are right I will.”
“Great. Why don’t you come around to my place now and I’ll show you all the details I’ve received.”
So we finished our coffee and I went with Maria. We both sat on her sofa and leafed through the brochures.
“Oh,” I said. “So it’s run by a man and all the staff are men, but no male guests are allowed to stay there.”
“That’s right,” Maria replied. “I thought with men looking after us we’d be quite safe.”
Then I came across some general information about the holiday writtten by the proprietor, Robert, himself. It said: “The retreat is situated on the site of an old farm. The massive old farmhouse has been refurbished and extended to give luxurious accommodation for all our guests.”
“When you arrive at the Retreat you will be greeted by one of my boys in his smart white uniform. He will help you to check in. Then you will be taken to the reception room, the rules will be explained, and if you have any questions, one of my helpful staff will answer them.”
“This is the beginning of your nudist holiday. One of my boys will help you to remove all your clothing which will be carefully folded and put in a numbered box until it is time for you to leave and return home.”
“Then you will be taken on a tour of the retreat by one of my staff. He will show you to your room and take you all over the main building and also the outbuildings so that you can see the many facilities on offer. You will meet some of the other guests and see many of my boys at work around the retreat to make sure you have a good and interesting stay with us.”
“The Retreat is the ideal place for young women to experience the freedom of the nudist life away from the stresses of your workaday life. It is the ideal place to relax, enjoy light physical exercise with our instructors or weight training in the gym, and enjoy a massage or a sauna. Those who like to draw and paint will find the classes run by our professional artist very informal and relaxing.”
“Our nudity rules requires all female guests to conduct themselves naturally and nude at all times during their stay. No sexual services are on offer. The Retreat is a safe haven for relaxation whilst being looked after by my friendly and attentive male staff who will remain fully clothed at all times.”
“Please note that only female guests between the ages of 18 and 30 may book into the Retreat and in order to discourage those looking for a ‘party’ holiday, we cannot book large groups such as teams or clubs. We can, however, accommodate guests who wish to share a room with a friend.”
I looked at Maria. “This sounds perfect,” I said.
“Yes,” she returned. “And you, being an artist, should enjoy the art classes.”
“Mmm, I shall look forward to that.”
“Only one thing wrong with it,” said Maria.
“What’s that?” I enquired.
“All those men waiting on us, and no sex on offer.”
We both had a laugh. “You’ll have to control yourself for once,” I said.
We compared dates and found they were fine, so she phoned and booked there and then. We would soon be off to Robert’s retreat for two weeks.
After a short journey to the island in a private boat, we were driven up to the gates of the Retreat. It was a sunny Saturday morning. One of the security guards stopped us and asked to see our booking passes. This done, we were then directed to the main reception area. We were met by a handsome, smiling young man in immaculate white uniform who helped us with the booking-in forms. Some had arrived before us and others followed us in so that, when we were escorted to the main reception room, there were about a dozen young women all looking around expectantly.
Then Robert appeared. He introduced himself and asked us to sit down while he told us the rules of the retreat, what facilities were available, the meal times and so on. There were a few brief questions and when he’d finished answering them he said, “This is the beginning of your nudist experience. My boys will now help you to remove your clothes and they will be kept carefully in a numbered box until you collect them to return home. If there is anything you need at any time you only have to ask. You will notice that, over the weekend, there will be some younger boys helping out. They are what we call weekend boys. They are sixth form lads who like to earn some spare money at the weekends.”
It was obvious that the staff were used to unzipping dresses and folding them up. In a few minutes all we girls were naked, looking slightly embarrassed and waiting for further information. I must admit that being naked in front of a group of young men is always something of a turn-on for me; I thoroughly enjoyed it.
We were divided into groups and taken on a tour of the house and all the facilities which were available. I was particularly interested in the art studio where a life class was in progress. It seemed rather strange that, not only was the young girl who was modelling nude but also the rest of the class. Only the instructor was clothed.
We were taken to the room which we were sharing and it was noticeable that there were no wardrobes in it. As we didn’t have any clothes to wear there was, of course, no point in having any. It was the first holiday I had been on where I had very little to unpack.
Maria and I had a good look round the room and admired the beautiful country view from the window. Down below we could see dozens of nude women lying in the sun or swimming in the pool while the boys in white served drinks.
We decided to go for a stroll around the grounds to get accustomed to where everything was. From time to time we seemed to get lost but there was always one of the boys in white to help us out as they busied themselves with their jobs.
