Over the next week, Karen was happily surprised at my horniness. In the eight years weâve been married, sheâs always wanted sex a bit more often than I do (from my point of view, itâs a nice problem to have). So I really didnât expect her to question my suddenly accelerated ardor, or to be suspicious of its origins. Thatâs why I was completely blindsided when, after I had fucked her hard and well yet again, she casually inquired, âMatt? If you donât mind me asking⌠what the hell has gotten into you this week?â
Right then, you couldnât have pulled a pin out of my ass with a tractor. But after a bit I relaxed, sighed, and said, âHoney, I donât know if Iâm actually glad that you asked, but I am a little relieved.â For the next ten minutes I described, in detail, the show Jenny had unknowingly put on for me. And yes, I was extremely apprehensive when I got to the part where I had to confess that not only had I watched intently, but I had jerked off in our driveway while doing so.
After I finished, the silence occupied the room like an invisible butler waiting to be told what to do next. I wished like hell it would just go away but it stood there patiently between us, a tangible reminder that moments like these can define a marriage. They can also break one.
Women tend to think that a manâs penis is completely detached from his brain. Not true; mine is actually a pretty good barometer of my emotions. Just minutes before, I had been aggressively pumping all 7 ½ inches of my proud and eager cock into my wife, to her loud and enthusiastic pleasure. But at that moment it was nearly inverted, looking like a spare shirt button that desperately wished it was elsewhere. Sensing possible danger, my balls were nowhere to be seen -- perhaps they went indoors to have a beer with my kidneys.
Finally, Karen spoke. âSome day, I really should thank her.â Then she lowered her head and took my shrunken mushroom into her sinfully sexy mouth. Once she had sucked it back to its former glory, she climbed aboard and proceeded to ride me like I was Secretariat. My boys came back out to play and Karen fucked us both into extremely loud and wild simultaneous orgasms â my second, and her fifth. Had we been any wetter, we would have needed life-jackets.
Thank God.
Thank Jenny.

It was more than three weeks later that I first encountered Jenny -- post-show, that is. I was mowing the back lawn when she pulled up in her car. As she closed the gate behind her I didnât think I could manage it, but to my surprise I was able to keep a straight face and not let on that anything was different. Maybe it was due to the fact that she was coming home from work, and the Wal-Mart smock she wore changed her appearance dramatically from when I had seen her last, naked and disheveled and smiling. Okay, so she was smiling⌠just not quite like last time.
Simple politeness dictated that I shut off the mower to say hello, but my idea of politeness goes a bit further than that, so I found myself offering Jenny a glass of the fresh lemonade I had just made. She politely declined, and disappeared into her apartment. Ten minutes later she re-appeared as I was dumping the grass catcher. She had traded her uniform for shorts and a bikini top. Yum.
I said, âDid you change your mind about the lemonade?â
âYeah, actually. Itâs hotter than hell down there. Is the offer still open?â
â
Certainement, Mademoiselle. Une minute, sâil vou plait.
â
âHuh?â
âUm, just showing off about half of all the French I know. Gimme a sec, okay?â
She dimpled. âSure.â
I went inside thinking to myself,
aside from the âbeware, weâre nudistsâ talk, that may be more than weâve ever said to one another, Christmas included.
I went into the living room, loaded Coldplayâs âLive 2003â CD into the player, routed the sound to both the kitchen and patio speakers and then strolled back out with the pitcher and two glasses. She accepted hers gratefully, and drank a third of it in two gulps. I hooked a thumb at one of the speakers and asked her, âAny objection to Coldplay?â
âNo, none at all. I love them. I didnât even know they had a live CD. When did this come out?â
I grinned and said, âNot for about ten weeks. I still get advance copies now and then.â
âOh, thatâs right, I remember â you used to be a radio deejay.â
âYup. I still have a few connections. Writing the occasional piece for
Rolling Stone
also helps.â
âSo what made you give up radio to be a writer? Better money?â
âChrist, no -- I wish. But radio quit being fun when the accountants took it over. And writing is something you do only if you absolutely canât
not
do it. Which doesnât make sense, I know. Put it this way: only the truly afflicted try to make a living at it, because writing is much more like a disease than it is a profession.â
She laughed at that and said, âI wouldnât know. I donât have a creative bone in my body.â From there the conversation meandered around for a while, touching on innocuous topics like my writing, the weather and what Iâd like to do to the yard â especially my big project of building a deck and putting in a spa and sauna.
After I refilled our glasses, Jenny said, âMatt, Iâve been wondering⌠are you and Karen still members at that nudist colony in the mountains?â
Gulp. âUh, yes, we are. But please, they arenât called âcoloniesâ. Forgive me, Jenny -- itâs not really important, but itâs kind of like the way âFriscoâ will irritate someone from San Francisco.â
She looked sheepish. âSorry. I should have known that, because it says âfamily nudist resortâ on the website.â
âSo youâve been to the website, huh? Cool. What got you interested?â
âWell, do you remember right after I moved in with Mike? You and Karen warned me that I might catch you guys or the kids naked sometime if I walked up to the patio doors or something?â
âSure. We were kind of hoping that a clothing-optional policy would appeal to you, so we could be a lot more relaxed about it. But I recall that you werenât exactly receptive to it, so weâve been keeping our clothes on when weâre in the yard and we only sunbathe at the club now, or sometimes Karen goes to the fake-and-bake salon.â
Jenny said, âYeah, I do that too. But itâs expensive and kinda plastic, you know? Anyway, after that I got to thinking about it, and I realized that Iâd like to be able to sunbathe on the patio, too.â Her cheeks reddened slightly. âBut I was embarrassed at the way I went âyeah, whateverâ to you guys, and Iâve felt bad ever since because I basically did you guys out of your freedom to get naked on your own patio. That wasnât right, and this is pretty much the first chance Iâve had to apologize and make it right.â
I gave her a pleasantly surprised smile. âWell, apology accepted. Karen will be glad to hear it, too. But itâs not just you. Karenâs a little concerned about the d â I mean Mike. Sheâs his aunt, and she knows him well enough to worry that he wouldnât have the right attitude.â
Jenny rolled her eyes and said, âOh, I can
guarantee
that he doesnât â we had a big argument over it. After I read a bunch of the website and got it through my head that nudism isnât perverted or creepy, I told him that I wanted him to get us invited to go with you guys some weekend to check it out. Man, did the shit ever hit the fan. I tried to get him to look at what Iâd read, but he wouldnât even consider it. He just said some bullshit about you guys that I wonât repeat, and slammed out of the house. I never brought it up again.â
I sighed. âYeah, thatâs about what I would have expected from him. Heâs one of those â forgive me â ignorant people who canât separate nudity and sex. Heâs probably suffering from the most common form of psychosis there is: jealousy. He imagines you nude in the company of other people, particularly men, and he loses it. On some fucked-up level, he figures you might as well be cheating on him, even if youâre doing something as innocent as swimming and everyone else is naked too. That sort of stupidity is totally beyond me â Iâve never been able to figure it out.â I was disappointed and sad, and Iâm sure my face showed both⌠Jennyâs certainly did. It was time to try a turn toward the positive. âBy the way, Iâm sorry to describe your boyfriend in such harsh terms, even if they are accurate.â
âBelieve me, Iâve used far worse. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know all this, and tell you that you and Karen shouldnât worry about offending me if you want to sunbathe naked.â She looked relieved. I was, too. She added, âBut itâd be a good idea not to let Mike catch either of you.â
âAgreed. Well, thank you, Jenny -- thank you very much. That means a lot to us; youâve given back a big chunk of our freedom. And gained some of your own, too â I mean, I think I can speak for Karen when I say that we want you to feel free to sunbathe anytime he isnât around.â
She stood and smiled, saying, âOh, good, I was hoping youâd say that,â and she removed her shorts to reveal a bikini bottom which matched her top. Then she removed the top, and lay back down on the chaise.
Whew.
Obviously, I have been in the social company of yummy young women in various states of nudity before, with nary a hint of horniness in the air. But because of previous events, this was different. It took more effort than usual to keep my demeanor casual⌠that is, it usually took no effort at all. I was grateful for my sunglasses.
âHey, Iâm gonna go into the house, grab some towels and join you⌠if youâre comfortable with it, that is. Okay?â
