*** Carol the Prude
My ex-wife Carol was a beautiful, shapely young blonde woman who really filled out her "C" cup bra. Much to my dismay, she never wore anything to accent her great rack or her long sexy legs and perfect butt. I would have preferred she at least wear something that might show some cleavage and a hint of those great globes.
The only time she ever showed any the slightest indication of exhibitionism was early in our relationship when I was overseas in the service. Her GF Lisa took a few PG rated lingerie and bra & panties pictures which she sent me. Those shots were very sexy yet not actually revealing. For Carol that was very daring; but for anyone else, not daring at all. But that was already beyond the limits of Carol's comfort zone.
Even after we were married and living alone in our first apartment, she wouldn't be comfortable relaxing around our place in a nightie or panties, much less naked. If I had to rate her clothing and beach attire, it would definitely be rated as very conservative.
*** Lisa Sparks a Fire
Lisa, Carol's very cute best friend through college had moved out of state shortly after we married. Carol invited Lisa to stay with us for a whole summer. Lisa was a teacher with the summer free and she eagerly accepted.
Our apartment wasn't air conditioned and we relied on fans and open windows to keep cool. And that summer was an exceptionally hot one. Once Lisa settled in, and much to my liking, she became comfortable relaxing in just a long T-shirt or tank top, no bra and panties.
The braless thing wasn't a big deal as she just had perky little "A" cups. As it got warmer, she wore shorter T-shirts where her panties were exposed half the time, and soon wore just panties and skimpy tops around our apartment.
Lisa seemed to be very comfortable dressed like that with me around, and I certainly wasn't complaining. Lisa would stay exposed like that even if Carol wasn't home. During those times I was constantly stifling a hardon. I was never quite sure if she was teasing me, or she was just that completely comfortable relaxing half-dressed in my presence.
With us trying and keep cool and with Lisa's insistence, we pulled up the blinds and shades on the hottest nights. Without Lisa's persistence, the blinds would never be open, especially at night. Carol was always afraid someone might catch a glimpse of some bare skin.
*** The Fire Ignites
One hot and steamy evening the three of us were sitting around the kitchen table playing a board game drinking beer and getting high. It was hot as hell in that apartment. I'm wearing my old cut-off jeans and nothing else. Lisa is wearing her signature panties and cut-off tank top, and Carol wearing panties, baggy shorts, bra and button up blouse.
I knew that Lisa's lack of clothing didn't seem to bother Carol as much as it puzzled her. So out of nowhere Carol's curiosity got the best of her, and asked Lisa why she felt OK half dressed like that in mixed company.
Lisa replied, saying that since Carol and I were married, she considered me a brother. I'm thinking, hmm, my sister never dressed like that around the house! Lisa then asked Carol if it bothered her that she was dressed so casually.
Carol said no, she was fine with it, but that wasn't the issue. It was just that she truly wished she could be that free and uninhibited, but just couldn't do it. Carol said she wished she were like Lisa, but that she just wouldn't be at ease wearing anything so revealing, even in her own home.
Lisa explained that she grew up in a household that was probably more relaxed in terms of casual nudity than the average family. And that it was second nature for her to dress as comfortable and practical as possible with little regard to modesty.
Carol again said that she wished she could be as comfortable relaxing half dressed as we were. Lisa said that she had a simple solution. Lisa just told Carol to take baby steps and that she'd be a much happier person if she'd ignore her modesty and try to kick her inhibitions to the curb.
Lisa said that right now is as good a time as any, and told Carol to just unbutton her blouse. Lisa told her that she'd feel so much cooler, and it wouldn't hurt one bit! Carol did that and flapped her blouse around and said yes, that's much better! Lisa then suggested that Carol then get rid of those big shorts. Carol's eyes grew wide and she looked around at the open windows.
We both told Carol that there aren't any other buildings or people nearby, and no one will see. Without standing up, Carol wiggled out of her shorts. Lisa told Carol that she needed to take just one more little step, either take off your top completely, or just your bra. Again Carol's eyes grew wide and looked around. We both told her that isn't a big deal, and that she is in the privacy of her own home! With that Carol slipped off the bra straps without taking off her blouse, pulled down her bra, spun it around and unsnapped it.
Ta-ta! She tossed the bra across the room. We all laughed, especially Carol. She said she felt like we had all been playing strip poker, and she was losing! She said she felt weird, like she was almost naked. I used Carol's statement about playing strip poker to say that might not be a bad idea. Let's play strip poker! They both looked at me wide-eyed. But their eyes weren't saying no, but not yes either. Lisa just said maybe some other time. It's late and I'm tired. Carol just nodded in agreement.
*** Carol's Evolution
That night was a breakthrough of sorts for Carol. I think Carol took it as a challenge to toss her inhibitions aside. Following Lisa's lead, Carol began to loosen up and wear less around the apartment.
Another benefit of Carol's newfound freedom was that we began to gradually open a dialogue between us about our innermost sexual feelings, wants and needs. Because of that, our previously mundane sex also began to improve in both quality and frequency. Score another one for Lisa's presence.
Besides our sex life improving in general with us talking more openly about our sexual selves, we also began to actually have fun during foreplay and sex. There was one thing we did during our sex play if Lisa was home.
