It was Wednesday. I'd vowed after Saturday that I'd not think about the park or my feelings or what had happened. What had happened was wrong and unseemly. It was repugnant and I was a deviant. Yet by Wednesday afternoon I could barely concentrate on my accounts work and my mind was twisting in self-loathing and some undefined need.
I opened a bottle of wine and decided work was over for the day. Then I logged into the Internet and did a search for 'naked in public toilet'. To say I was shocked by what I read and saw would be an understatement. I read about something called exhibitionism. The urge and desire to expose your body to other people. It wasn't quite the same as what happened on the nudist beaches I'd read about previously, although that was certainly a form of exhibitionism. What I was reading about was exposing your body in inappropriate places. For some people, mainly men, it involved showing their private parts to other people. But for others, mostly women, it was more about wearing inappropriate clothing, or no underwear, or flashing pants 'accidently' when sitting. It was about undressing partially or fully in a public place where there was the risk of being caught.
It was this thought that stood out. It all seemed to be about the risk and the feeling of being out of control, if only for a few seconds or minutes. Just reading about this made me breathe faster and my heart started pumping. I was so utterly ashamed and embarrassed of my body that I'd didn't want other people to see it, but the thought of putting myself into a position where there was a risk just made my head spin.
And then there were the photos. My God so many photos. Photos of men with their penises showing both soft and erect. Photos of women walking brazenly down the road. But the photos that really worked my imagination were those of women taking pictures of themselves. Self-shots they were called. Especially intriguing to me were the ones taken outside, in public, in the park, in the car or the library or the changing room at the shops.
There were sites dedicated to such pictures where the women involved uploaded their offerings. It was strange that for people that had tried so hard to secretly shoot themselves in public, yet try not be seen, they were then willing to share their photos and videos with millions across the world. And it was all sorts of people, not just the young good looking. I supposed there was some sort of anonymity in that the women had usually masked their face behind the camera (if using a mirror) or with a blob of black or fuzzy grey from a photo editor.
My mind was racing and I wanted this so much. It was like the fantasy I had in the toilets imagining I was surrounded and being watched by people. It must have been the wine talking but I stood up, grabbed my phone and went to my mother's old bedroom. It was sparsely filled but it had a full length mirror on one wall. I undressed and placed my clothes on the floor. I noticed as I pulled my knickers down that the large gusset was gooey and a long drip connected up to between my legs. I caught this with my finger and wiped it on my leg before pulling my panties all the way off. Then standing up I stood in front of the mirror with my phone. I took a photo. It placed my feet apart as far as I could on the floor and took another. It turned sideways and took another. I lifted one droopy breast and took another. Finally I turned away from the mirror, spread my legs and bent over. This was awkward but I managed to take the last photo of my privates exposed in the mirror.
Not wanted to lose the moment, or the buzz, I went downstairs in just my dressing gown and created an account on the site I'd been on earlier. Connecting my phone to my PC I transferred the photos and looked through them. I was horrified by what I saw -- a fat, old ugly woman exposing her body fully naked, but with her face obscured in all of them. Before I lost my courage I clicked upload and sent my pictures into the world. I disabled other people from commenting on them though as I didn't feel like reading crude unwanted talk about me. And with that they were out there for the world to see. I spent the rest of the day buzzing and went to bed that night with my head still in a spin.
