I was looking at the advertisement in the magazine and I was wondering, what is the difference between a naturist club and a nudist club?
I had been to a naturist club a few weeks before, and found that it was all people extolling the virtues of social nudity and insisting that naturism is an entirely non-sexual activity. I didn't agree with them, and that line from Hamlet, which I had studied at high school, 'he doth protest too much methinks,' kept coming into my mind every time one of them launched into the spiel about how naturism had nothing to do with sex. I think the reason they all said it so often was to convince themselves; I mean, maybe there is something wrong with me, but when I see a woman who is attractive and sexy, I respond, and if she is naked, then my response is stronger, and if I'm naked too; visible.
My explorations in the world of 'social nudity' as its seasoned practitioners call it, began with a few trips to naturist beaches. These were good, but I felt like I had to join a club, if I was truly going to feel that I had arrived as a nudist. I wanted to be a nudist, because I had decided that naturists were dull and I didn't like them.
It so happened that the place that was describing itself as a nudist club was not all that far from where I live. I would go there the following Sunday, as long as the weather was good.
Sunday arrived, and it being June, and England, the weather was surprisingly warm. Normally, in flaming June, it rains.
I made the half hour train journey, and when I got off the train at the town nearest to the club, I left the station and walked. After about five minutes I was in the countryside, and after another twenty five minutes or so, I was at a junction at which the road that the club was on joined the main country lane that I had been walking on. I turned up the hill and walked for ten minutes until I came to a gate. I had arrived.
Within another ten minutes I had paid my day's membership, with an option to get annual membership at a discount, and begun to wander about. It was midday, but the place was already busy. The first thing I noticed was that all of the people there were adults. Most couples, though there were some single men, and even a few single women. Things were looking promising.
I saw a pathway leading between some trees and decided to follow it. It was short and led to a field that was invisible from the clubhouse and the area around it. This was where the action would be; if there was any action. It was as busy as the other area, but the nudists were more exotic looking. More pierced, more tattooed, and more nude, somehow.
I had found what I had been looking for, and I understood that what I had vaguely hoped was in fact true; nudist clubs are swingers' clubs in disguise. No advertisements in seedy looking magazines, or on web pages that you would not want to be caught looking at. No paper chases or e-mail correspondences that lead back to your own hand. No, here was a field full of people who were looking to spend their Sunday afternoon sunbathing and having more or less surreptitious sex with casual acquaintances and strangers. It was a long way from the naturist club, and even further from the leafy avenue on which I lived with my parents.
Except that it wasn't. I was looking around for a place on the grass to stretch out my towel and lay down, and I saw Pam and Tom. They live on my street. I'm not sure who was most shocked and embarrassed to be found here by someone from home.
I was about to run away, when Tom gave me an ironic smile and beckoned to me to come over. Pam still looked a little perturbed when I arrived at the spot where they were sitting; perturbed, but not mortified like me. I guess that age and experience enable people to take things in their stride more easily.
Of all the things that had filled me with wonder and fear as I had been planning my new career as a nudist, I had not thought of this. But now that we were here face to face, I was not that surprised that if someone from the street would be at a nudist club, it would be them.
'I always thought that one day we would meet someone from real life in a place like this,' said Tom.
'And if you've caught us, we've caught you,' added Pam, seemingly in possession of herself again.
'Is it your first time here?' asked Tom.
'Yes,' I said, and their recovered calmness was helping me to feel relaxed too.
'Sit with us, if you want to,' said Tom.
I accepted his invitation. Then I realised that it meant that I would have to strip off right in front of them: people I had known since I was a little kid, and who I said 'hello' to when I bumped into them at the local shop. I think they realised when I hesitated a little about undressing. Pam gave me a knowing sort of look, and Tom cajoled me
'You can't get shy now. You've come this far. And we are already naked.'
'It's not fair,' laughed Pam, 'you can see mine; I want to see yours.'
When she said that, I felt a thrill go through me.
Pam and Tom are in their mid fifties, and Pam, despite, or maybe because of her age, is the most glamorous woman on the street. She looks younger than she is, and her blonde hair, dyed, suites her better than blonde hair suits most women of her age. She has a very pretty face and brilliant blue eyes, and large round voluptuous boobs that hang a little, because of their size; just slightly too large for her figure. In other words, they are perfect. Her nipples were long, and right now they were erect. She was wearing a belly chain, and she has a tattoo of a rose on her stomach, just a little to the left of, and below her navel. I was enjoying the furtive glances at her that I was taking, as I tried to focus on Tom. He was naked too, of course, but looking at him seemed ok; I mean, I didn't fancy him. I did notice, though, that he was in good shape for his age, slim, but not skinny. He still had something of the handsome looks he must have had as a young man. They went well together, and they were both aging with grace.
My stolen glances at Pam, that she knew all along I was stealing, as did Tom, revealed to me that she shaves her pussy, and that she has very large protruding pussy lips, which formed a 'v' against the smooth bronzed skin around them. Knowing that I was looking, she did nothing to conceal her most intimate part.
The thing is; this was not the first time that I had seen her in a state of undress. Pam and Tom are the only bohemian-type couple on the street, and Pam sunbathed topless in her back garden, and as my house was next door but one to theirs, I had spied on her when I could. I have always had the hots for her and I always masturbated at the sight of her almost naked body lying there in the summer sun; and I was discreet and made sure that I hid myself well behind the curtain in the bedroom window from which I watched her.
Now, though, there was no garden fence and no curtain and no secrecy for me to hide behind; and there I was about to pull down my shorts and allow everyone to see my naked cock; but really there was no everyone; there was just her, and the thought of her seeing me naked was terrifying and exciting all at the same time. I was horrified at the thought that I might get a hard on, lying there next to her. What would Tom say?
Anyway, I finally pulled off my shorts and out popped my cock; and thankfully it had stayed flaccid. It might have been my imagination; or my wild hope distorting my perception, but I thought that Pam had a little excited gleam in her eyes when my cock was at last revealed to the day.
I remembered that once, a few years before, when I had been eighteen or so, and before I had started spying on her topless sunbathing afternoons; I had been with a few other friends from our street and we were going to play football and wanted to see if Pam and Tom's son wanted to play too. The others had gone to knock on the door and when they came back, they claimed that she had been walking down stairs, behind her husband, who was telling them that his son was already out somewhere, and she accidentally on purpose, momentarily let the towel fall, revealing her naked body. I hated them, and I refused to believe it; but the image of it had fed a thousand masturbatory fantasies ever since.
Spying on her had seemed like some compensation; but not completely. If they had been telling the truth, she had chosen to show herself; whereas I had seen her when she had not known that she was being watched. Now, at this nudist club, she was showing me; or if not that, then at least allowing me to see her. And she could see me and my cock, and I liked it; but I was concentrating on making sure that I did not get hard. It was not easy, even as I tried to forget that Pam was lying right there in front of me.
I looked around and all over the place little scenes of exhibitionism and voyeurism were more or less discreetly being played out. Opposite us, twenty five yards of so away, a man was opening his wife's pussy while two or three other men looking on appreciatively. Elsewhere, a woman or forty or so was wanking the two men lying either side or her. One of them was her age; her husband, no doubt. The other was a young guy of my age.
I remembered Pam, and I looked at her and saw that she was watching the woman stroking those two cocks. Maybe that was her thing; maybe getting hard for her would be a good move.
I was still too nervous even to look at Pam for more than a second at a time, or with visible desire in my eyes. I noticed though, that Tom was not taking much interest in the little spectacles going on all around us. He was discreetly looking at me every now and then, to see what I was looking at; and I felt that it was Pam that he wanted me to take an interest in.
Then he asked me if I had been to any other clubs. I told him about that naturist club.
'That's a different scene,' he said, 'and not really our style.'
'Nor mine,' I said.
'So, what is your style?' asked Pam, a little provocatively.
'This, I think,' I heard myself say.
She smiled and gave Tom a look.
'How far do things go here?' I asked, directing the question to Tom.
On an afternoon like this, about as far as it's going now. In the evenings, like Saturdays, when there's a party, anywhere you want.'
'I must come on a Saturday evening,' I joked.
