***********************
While at a nude beach in Germany with some friends, my girlfriend Amber and I received a dare--to walk fully nude across the regular (non-nude) beach area to the far end, buy ice cream from a kiosk and return.
Amber and I had been to a nude beach several times, as had our friends, but never all together. It was just hours earlier we and our four friends had all stripped completely in front of each other for the first time--males and females in all our glory. We had adapted surprisingly quickly to the situation, overcoming our nervousness at baring ourselves in front of people we knew. We realized it was not embarrassing or awkward when most others in the area were also nude. "When in Rome," and all.
The Dare came about somehow in the course of friendly bantering. Our friends awaited our response.
"You don't think we will?" I challenged, a wry smile playing on my lips. I looked over and saw a mischievous twinkle in Amber's eyes--she bit the corner of her lip and merely nodded with encouragement. We were both aware that it was one thing to be nude on a nude beach, another to be nude where we weren't supposed to be and others weren't.
Our friend Tom scanned down the beach towards the non-nude section, his hand shading his eyes. "Nah, I don't think you've got the guts to go through with it. There's hundreds of people between here and there who will see you."
Tom's girlfriend Kristie chuckled, and said to me, "Hundreds, of which precisely zero want to see your junk flapping around in the breeze!" Smiling, she added, "No offense to you, Amber."
Amber stood and struck a pin-up-type pose. "They won't even be looking at him in light of my captivating beauty," she joked with an exaggerated fluttering of her eyelids.
"Can't argue with that," I said, a rather stupid grin on my face.
My other buddy paced around Amber with mock seriousness as he pretended to examine and assess her body. With a faux English accent, he said, "Yes, I think perhaps she has a good point, yes." Nodding, he proffered his conclusion. "Yes, yes, indubitably. A fine specimen of human female beauty."
Amber rolled her eyes and playfully slapped his arm with the back of her hand. "Gee, thanks, Jack. Such a heartfelt compliment just might go to a girl's head."
The object of our attention, Amber, was a beautiful and friendly 23-year-old woman with thick raven hair and startlingly blue eyes. Her long dark hair was pulled back in a ponytail, which accentuated her strong cheekbones and cute dimple on her left cheek. The sun highlighted her firm abs and compact breasts, long well-toned legs, and well, her entire athletic--and very feminine--figure.
Jack snapped his attention back up to our eyes and grinned. "So now, you guys gonna just talk the talk, or are you gonna walk the walk?"
Not one to shy away from a proper dare, I stood up next to Amber. We locked eyes a moment and simultaneously grinned. The two of us faced our friends, fully nude, and slipped on our sandals.
"Ok, let's do this!" I said. "We'll bring something back for you, if you behave," I added with a wink at our friends. I turned to Amber. "Ready?"
Amber nodded firmly and struck a power pose, hands on her hips, chin exaggeratedly high, chest forward. She pointed forward with a straight arm towards our destination. "Onward and westward!"
My gaze darted between her pointed finger, her tantalizing nude body, and the direction she was pointing.
"Except you're heading south," Tom countered, laughing. "But that's the spirit!"
So, joining hands, Amber and I set out on our quest. We walked near the water's edge, along the more compact sand. The sun felt warm on our faces and the salty smell of the sea wafted on a light breeze. I took a deep satisfying breath and smiled over at Amber. I paused to appreciate her soft rounded breasts--her pink areolae just dark enough to visibly contrast with her sun-kissed skin, and her nipples slightly erect in the ocean breeze. I had to divert my thoughts to avoid getting aroused.
I loved her figure, her shape, her confidence--I was proud to be seen with her. And I felt proud to have others see her sexy nude body. I wondered if others also found her attractive, maybe even arousing. That thought stirred some dormant emotion in me, and I realized I liked the idea of Amber turning on others on the beach as she strode by.
We continued walking along the shore. To one side was the sea, waves crashing beneath a deep blue sky spotted with a few puffy white clouds. To the other side were groups of nude bodies scattered about the light fine sand--lying and sunning, reading, walking, a couple of guys tossing a Frisbee, a family having a picnic.
People of every body type and age were out enjoying the day--all but a very few were fully nude. Fit, dumpy, well endowed, and not so well endowed. Middle-aged men with fat stomachs and skinny legs. Mothers with small children, one with a baby at her exposed breast. Young, old, tall, short. Nubile teens with flat bellies and perky boobs, a male bodybuilder with a disproportionately small dick. Trimmed pussies, bare pussies, natural bushes, pierced nipples, tattoos, big tits, small tits, large areolae, tiny nipples. A visual smorgasbord of bare flesh.
I pondered the saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," as we passed a group of young women playing cards, their firm full breasts glistening with suntan oil and sweat, nipples proudly looking forward. Several were casually sitting cross-legged, with attractively exposed genitalia. Maybe it was just me, but what my eyes beheld was beauty.
It felt so natural and free, just walking along, taking in all the sights. Feeling the warm breeze on our bare skin, no clothes binding or restricting. I was surprised in light of the nudity how generally non-sexual the setting was--just like other beaches, but with much more skin. Yes, of course we both looked--we were young, curious, and usually horny. But once we got used to the near-universal nudity, the situation mostly seemed normal.
Until we reached the boundary of the nude area. We stopped by a sign that delineated the nude/clothing-optional ("FKK") section from the normal beach. We looked at each other. Amber said, "Well, last chance to chicken out. We doing this?" She waited, a tiny smile playing at the corner of her full, kissable lips.
I looked at her, at the very clear boundary sign, then squinted down the rest of the beach where the ice cream kiosk was. "Looks like we're a little over halfway there. Once we go, we need to keep going. And, what if they won't sell us anything at the kiosk or someone calls the police or something?"
Amber simply shrugged. "Well, we'll just have to see what happens. For now--in for a penny..."
She stepped over the boundary and out of the nude section, looked back over her shoulder with a 'coming?' glance, and smiled. I admired her sculpted bare ass for a delightful moment--in my opinion, the nicest ass on the beach--then joined her. We walked briskly onward along the regular beach, externally exuding confidence but internally pretty nervous.
I should add some situational clarification here, especially for most Americans. Our behavior wasn't quite as outrageous as it sounds, because many females on the regular beach were also topless. Being topless on a German beach, at least at the time, simply didn't constitute "nudity," for males or females. Thus Amber's nudity wasn't as blatantly obvious unless one looked directly. The all-too-major difference for both of us, of course, was being bottomless as well. Hence the "daring" part of our Dare.
