So... I'm naked... and firmly blindfolded. I can hear some activity, but it seems to be at a distance... at least behind closed doors outside the room where I'm stand. The last footsteps I heard were probably 10 minutes ago... but I can't really judge how long it's been. It's warm enough, so I'm not uncomfortable at all. In my naked blindness... I wait.
A couple weeks ago... a casual conversation with two other couples plus my hubby started a planning sequence that led to this moment. Our friend, Terry, asked about some details about whatever naked event I'd experienced most recently. I do find that a number of my woman friends like to hear these kinds of details... generally to experience some kind of a vicarious thrill in the telling. I don't mind sharing... the telling gives me a post-event arousal... definitely a win-win!
Terry enjoyed interrogating me. No... she's not a lawyer, but she'd probably be a good one. Where was it? What time of day? What was I wearing before my exposure? How much did I expose... and for how long? Did I make eye contact with many of my viewers? If so... how long did they hold that eye contact before they went back to viewing my boobs... my ass... my yoni?
After a few more minutes of being interrogated... I asked Terry and the others, "Is it just me... or are we all more than a little aroused?" We all laughed.
Then... Terry threw me a curve ball. She asked, "How much of your arousal then came from you watching them watching you?"
Hmmm... that was a question to really ponder. Did I need to see them seeing me? Her questions reminded me of a lesson in a philosophy class years ago... "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
I pondered the query for a few moments... and had to admit that it was a part of my exhibitionist experience I hadn't deeply considered. And... I admitted that it was an intriguing question.
Terry asked then, "What if... we create a situation where you are totally naked... and you don't know where you are, or how many people are seeing you, or whether those seeing you are men or women, or what part of your body they are looking at, or how close they are to touching you?"
"Oh, my," I replied. "That would be amazing! I can't even imagine how aroused I'd be!"
Okay... now I was totally hooked! I was completely intrigued by the vision of being in an unknown place... with an unknown audience... where every part of my body was exposed for view.
Terry and a small group of friends started the next day to devise an experience for me where I could answer some of these questions for myself. And... where they could perhaps enjoy a part of the experience with a wider group... to be determined.
Feeling that I was probably alone... I investigated my immediate surroundings. I was standing on carpet in the middle of a furniture grouping with a sofa, coffee table and two upholstered wingback chairs. One chair had an upholstered hassock in front of it. The fabrics felt like this was a matching set of furnishings. As I explored around each piece of furniture, I found that the carpet was an area rug rather than wall-to-wall... extending only about 2 feet on each side of the grouping. Beyond the carpet... the surface felt like stone... laid in a symmetrical pattern of both square and rectangle tiles of a variety of sizes.
After this very basic investigation of my immediate surroundings... I walked back to the sofa... reclined into the left corner with my right arm comfortably laying on the sofa arm and my legs curled back slightly... rested my head on the sofa back... and listened for any sign that I was no longer alone.
As I listened... it seemed like distant applause broke out at times... then it was mostly quiet for a while. Hmmm... this was probably a group of people I would have a chance to meet. But... when?
A short time later... I heard a distant door open and then close with an echo like my space was actually a large, empty room. The sound of a woman's high heels resonated across the space... sounding louder and louder. The pace was relaxed... neither fast nor slow. When the sound seemed to be pretty close... it stopped. And... I waited again... raising my head and shoulders to face the sound... trying to listen for any clue about who was there. Silence.
Finally... a woman's voice said, "Beautiful... as I'd expected." It was a voice I didn't recognize. I found that alone to be instantly arousing.
She continued, saying, "We've all been enjoying drinks in the other room... would you like some champagne before I take you in?"
I relaxed, smiled and replied, "You are very gracious... I'd love a taste of champagne."
I uncoiled myself from the sofa and stood in front of it... still touching the sofa arm with my leg to steady myself.
I heard her heels again briefly... and then felt an awareness that I wasn't alone among the furnishings.
She said, "Give me your right hand to hold the flute." I did as she'd asked, and she handed me the champagne flute. Ahhh... it was a very dry and delicious champagne... very refreshing. I took a couple of sips and handed it back.
"That was lovely," I said. "And... I have to say your voice has a warm and comforting sensuality. I'm imagining the moment when I get to look into your eyes."
I heard a gentle giggle... then a sound I identified as the champagne flute being placed on the coffee table.
In almost a whisper, she asked, "Can I touch your face?" I replied, "Certainly."
I felt a very soft touch of fingertips on my cheek. It was a lovely jolt of reality as I felt her warmth and tenderness. Again... my body pulsed with a surge of arousal.
After a moment... she said, again in a low and sensual tone, "Annie... my name is Sahara... and I'll be your companion and guide for the next hour or so... while you're still blindfolded and after you're freed from it. In the adjacent space... a group of about 70 people are enjoying drinks and snacks... and I'll take you into that space shortly. I think you already know... you'll be the only person who is naked."
I interrupted her to say with a chuckle, "Ahhh... that was what I was hoping."
"So I was told," she added. "Your hope is foreign from my personal experience... perhaps I will understand it one day."
I smiled... and sighed gently. "I would love to be the person who would have the privilege of introducing you to the joys of exhibitionism." Being blindfolded... I couldn't see any reaction. But... I imagined in my heart a smile in return.
After a moment... Sahara took a breath and continued her introduction speech. "You are currently in a side room in an art museum. The group is in a sculpture garden... used at times as a reception area. They are all major donors to the museum. Twice a year... the museum hosts a thank-you gathering for their commitment to art and their great generosity."
She paused. So... I asked, "What then is my role?"
"You are... indeed... a beautiful live sculpture, Annie," she replied. Her voice once again had an amazingly warm sensuality yet again. I thought to myself... whoa!
She continued, saying, "Tonight's thank-you event is focused on the most generous donors in support of a recent exhibit of art nouveau nudes... so your presence as a live nude is completely appropriate... not to mention a special thank-you gift to our donors."
"Are any of the painting from the exhibit still here? I'd love to see them before the event is finished."
"You're in luck," she replied. "A few by Auer and Domergue are on display in the room we'll be visiting."
Sahara continued, "I'll be your blind guide while your blindfold is in place. When we're ready to proceed... I'll ask you to hold my right elbow with your left hand. I'll lead you... as I do with other sight-challenged people... among our guests to introduce you and to keep you safe."
"I'm grateful to be in your hands, Sahara." I paused, and then continued, saying, "But... I'd like to know more about you before we go. I would like to touch you also."
"That would be lovely," she replied. Then she took my right hand... and lifted it gently to touch her face. I explored her left cheek... and then joined the journey with my other hand to very gently explore the contours of her nose... and forehead... and down across her cheeks on both sides to her chin.
"You are lovely, Sahara... thank you," I said in a soft voice. "You can see my totality... can I explore yours through the hidden graces of your clothes?"
"Well, yes... I suppose that's fair, isn't it? You're certainly keeping no secrets, so I also hold none from you," she replied in a gently whisper.
I took a deep breath, and let my hands slide slowly and softly down her neck... spreading out along her shoulders. I found fabric on her left shoulder... but none on her right... just warm, smooth skin. Mmmm!
As I slid my hands down along her arms... I found she was wearing a top that was long-sleeved on her left arm and sleeveless on the right. Wow! I love that look! And... the softness and spring of the fabric on the left led me to feel it was a delicious Jersey blend. I found myself envisioning Sahara's top.
"Is this a top... or a dress? I love the fabric!" I said.
She responded breathlessly, "It's one of my favorite dresses."
"Ahhh, lovely!" I said. "I'd love to proceed."
She whispered, "Please."
