I recently took a job at a small liberal arts college in New York. It was necessary for me to go ahead of the family who will join me in the summer. Arriving on Jan 2nd, I stayed in a motel for two weeks until I found a short-term lease on a rental unit. Unfortunately, the central facility room for the building had a boiler explosion which closed the building for the next two months. I was again out on the street. The landlord was only obligated thru the end of the month, so I was paying motel bills after a week.
I could not afford to stay in the motel so I was looking for any alternatives. I talked with the school housing staff and they offered me a dorm room. I said OK and then asked where.
The only opening was in a mixed floor coed dorm. At the beginning of the fall semester a former men's dorm was converted to mixed gender housing. Only limited changes were made to the facility. Most of the men lived off campus and were not interested in dorm living regardless of who lived next door. As a result the ratio of men to females was 1 to 10. It turned out that most of the girls were lesbian or at least bi. It seems the idea of having open showers appealed to them.
The few men were made to feel so uncomfortable and the last one requested new housing in November. At the beginning of the spring semester, no men were assigned to the floor. I heard all this and expressed no interest in idea. The dorm director, asked me to think about it and she was going to check with the residents about my moving in.
Now I am 52 and grew up in a typical traditional family with no opportunity for being with girls in other than a controlled situation. As a result the first naked female I ever saw was my soon to be wife who finally consented to some oral sex before the wedding. Since, marriage we have been rather modest with others and each other. We seldom showered together or were nude in front of each other for any length of time. Since the kids have gotten older, I have been sleeping in the nude but my wife was hesitant to join me.
Last summer, we were out on a rented boat at a nearby lake. We had not planned to go swimming and had not brought swim suits. After an hour on the lake, we both were wanting to go for a swim. I found a cove with no other boats and suggested we go for a swim. After the usual conversation about no swim suit, I said "I can't wait any longer." I pulled my pants off followed by underwear and jumped into the water. My wife watched me with no reaction. I had paddled around the boat when all of sudden there was a yell followed by my naked wife jumping into the water.
After an hour in the water, we climbed our and sat on the lounges to air dry. For an hour we sat on the lounges and read magazines we had brought. Two boats came into the cove and circled us. The boat sides hide our nudity and we made no effort to cover up. At four, it was time to head back to the marina. I pulled on my pants and started the engine. My wife did not dress until we were nearly to the dock.
As we drove home, my wife was in a very good mood and wanted to talk. "You know, I really enjoyed our time on the boat. It was the first time we have ever been naked without sex. I guess I like the feel of the sun and air on my body. Now don't get any ideas, I enjoyed being nude with you, not with others."
For the rest of trip home we did not talk about our boat trip. When we got home, my wife fixed dinner in her bra and panties. When it was bed time, she joined me in bed with no gown. Sex that night was great.
Later, I found out that my wife started to clean the house in the nude. Our daughter caught her a couple of times after school and was very curious why her mother was running the sweeper with no clothes on.
When I told my wife about the offered dorm room, she thought I was kidding and then thought it was funny. She finally said OK but really assumed that I would not go for it.
The next week was a real frustration, the small college town offered few no options in January. I was now faced with serious financial problems if the offered dorm room was not available.
The dorm director called and said that the residents were fine with me moving in and if I was interested she would arrange a visit. I told her that I had no choice but to check it out.
The next afternoon, I meet the Ann Smythe, the Director at her office before we walked to the dorm. Ann started to kid me about the situation and told me that the girls liked the idea of an older guy moving in. Most of them knew who I was and realized that I could be their dad.
We walked up to the third floor and the Director used a key to open the floor security door. She walked ahead and announced that a "man was on deck". We walked into the only restroom on the floor and I found a typical male room with urinals and a few enclosed toilets. The shower room was wide open with shower heads down both sides. Two of the shower heads had temporary curtains that offered some privacy.
We walked down the hall to the lounge where we found several of the girls waiting to talk with me. We all found seats and the floor president told us, "We are more concerned that you are a member of the faculty more than the fact that you are male."
Ann had anticipated the question, "he has no obligation to observe and or report anything other than something that is an immediate threat to a student of school property." That seemed to settle that concern and we moved on.
Rachel, a student in my morning class, started laughing as she spoke, "Professor, if we share a shower at seven, what will you be like in class at ten?"
I shrugged and said, "it might be a little strange at first but I am sure that your curiosity about my body will quickly pass."
Everyone laughed and it seemed to break the tension of the meeting. When everyone had settled down, the student continued, "well I was really more concerned about your curiosity about my body than me about yours."
Everyone looked to me for my answer. "I am sure that is a concern, you are all very attractive young ladies and I am sure that I would be curious. However, if I am also naked then it is probably a simple trade and after I look you over and you look me over, we will go on with our business. Besides, I have a wife and changed my daughter's diaper many times, so I have some idea of what you look like in the shower already."
Again everyone laughed and I was ready for another question. The next questioner wondered about any strange things I was used to doing. I calmly told them all, "I sleep in the nude and like to shave nude. But I imagine I would keep the towel around my waist if anyone else was in the room."
Ann then said that she would get back with them for a final decision about whether I was welcome. The floor President responded, "We have no problem, he seems to have a sense of humor and all of us showered with guys last semester. The only concern is if he sleeps in the nude, does he sleep walk and what will he contribute for the next panty raid?"
