I first heard about Nude Therapy the way everybody did. One of those national cable news features where they were trying to be oh so serious. They were doing a story about a pretty young professional woman who was going to spend her day naked, but they really really weren't trying to titillate the viewers. Right.
They started showing the lady in question through her frosted shower door. Like most of us in our showers, she was totally nude. Then they actually showed her coming out: bare shoulders first with some pixelation over her glistening wet breasts. She grabbed a towel and wrapping it around her there was a welcome glimpse of her cute little bottom from behind-- thankfully uncensored.
She had long brown hair, dynamite legs, and -- from what I could see of it -- a nice curvy petite figure.
They now had my undivided attention.
A male voice, belonging apparently to the lucky on-scene reporter:
"Most mornings would find Chrissy getting dressed and ready for work by now. Not today."
They showed her leaning into a mirror applying lipstick which required some creative censoring of her nipples' reflections.
"Chrissy is getting ready, but she's not getting dressed. She's already informed the bank where she works that she's coming in naked; that she's one of a growing number of women participating in the very public and very controversial practice of 'Nude Therapy.'
They camera closely followed her out the door and down the stairs of her building with glimpses of her naked butt, the male reporter at her side. She had on high heels, minimal jewelry, and was carrying a leather valise. Otherwise completely naked.
Cut to a faraway shot of her outside her building. She has to cross a roadway and get into a waiting car, maybe twenty feet away. They're far enough away so that, even in this bold full frontal view, minimal pixelation is needed.
She hesitates for a moment, looking around, then walks really fast to the car, trying not to run. It is so hot watching her initial reaction to being nude for the first time in public.
Cut to a scene in the car: the reporter's driving and she's scrunching down, only shoulders visible. She turns to him: "I'm really supposed to ask everyone who sees me what they think of seeing me this way; their honest reaction."
The reporter is startled and glances over at her, openly looking at her body for the first time on camera. He shakes his head: "You're obviously very brave and very beautiful. I can't say more than that: we're on camera, I am very married, and I'd like to stay that way!"
They're both blushing and she's smiling at his compliment.
(This is obviously a big story requiring a multi-camera setup!)
Another scene of her walking in public. The reporter gallantly holds the door to the bank open for her, apparently requiring yet another full nude shot from behind.
As she's getting settled at her desk, other employees trying not to stare, we cut to the bank manager, a somewhat paunchy older balding guy.
He goes on and on about how much he admires Chrissy, how this is all about empowerment and getting over our stereotypical attitudes towards female nudity. He's saying all the right things out loud, but I'm sure he's thinking: 'And I get to see this sweetie naked all day!'
Lots of bare shoulder and back shots and even a closeup of her high heeled legs, lovingly lingering on her thighs, as she's at the copier. No, no titillation here!
At the end she's walking towards the ladies room -- and the camera follows her in! We aren't going to watch her... no. She does go into a stall... but she leaves the door open and she hangs her valise on a hook.
We watch her take out panties and we watch her put them on... a slow pan that follows the panties' progress from over the heels, then slowly up her legs, to our very last view of her sweetly naked ass.
As she takes out her bra and we watch her put it on from behind, we hear the male reporter's voice:
"Some women spend their day in the nude. Others, like Chrissy, prefer to get dressed for their journey home."
The camera gets strangely out of focus as Chrissy gets more and more clothes on, implying the focus was on her nudity all along.
"What has Chrissy learned today?" the voiceover continues. "Will her attitude toward her coworkers who saw her nude change? How will they feel about her now? We'll follow up with Chrissy shortly.
"In the meantime, please remember that this is a form of therapy that should ONLY be recommended by a therapist. We do not advise that any woman tries this on her own. Regardless, this should always take place in a controlled environment such as an office. We do live in dangerous times, and women should be chaperoned if they leave that environment."
And then they signed off. Wow. I had heard jokes about Naked Therapy but never imagined it was real. Then I remembered I had a dinner in the microwave and it had been sitting, cooling off during this ten minute segment. Well, I had been transfixed. This was TV news the way it should be!
Of course after that, whenever I was out in public I was always looking around, mentally preparing myself for some unexpected nudity. Nothing; at least nothing in New York City. It was a nice segment, of course widely available on the Internet for further study, but I eventually dismissed the whole thing as a few brave but crazy ladies.
Once every quarter I flew out to Chicago to collect data for our sales forecasts. There were local offices in the area to visit, ending with our downtown Corporate office.
I stayed in my usual hotel -- walking distance to some of my favorite restaurants.
The first night in was Tuesday. It was rainy and cold, so my favorite Italian place was almost empty: just me and a couple in the corner.
I had just sat down and was perusing the menu when my favorite waitress walked out. She was naked.
If my picture had been taken at that moment, it could've been captioned 'man being electrocuted.' My mouth was open, eyes wide, and I was grasping the table.
"Oh hi," Heather said. "Welcome back. I guess you're surprised that I'm naked."
How could she tell?
She tossed back her long brown hair. "Well you must've heard about Nude Therapy by now. I guess you guys are just gonna hafta get used to seeing girls naked in public!"
I blinked. She was just standing there, holding her little notepad, inviting me to look.
Heather was a bit thinner than I liked with her ribcage showing. When she was dressed for work she always wore a formal white blouse tucked into a black miniskirt with black pantyhose or stockings on her legs. I loved looking at her legs in a skirt and they indeed still looked great, even without her skirtβ or anything else on.
Now I took in her breasts. She was probably between 32A and B. Smaller tits are, in their favor, often perfectly round, with impressive nipple action. Heather's set fit the bill: her nipples were standing out and also outstanding.
"You're checking out my tits," she observed. "I think my nips are hard because I'm naked. It's not that cold in here."
"Okay," I said, still capable of meaningless responses.
"You should look at my pussy before you order. See what's sticking out! Damn inner lips always get like that. Why do they call them 'inner' when mine are always out?"
During this incredible speech I did as I was told. She was totally shaved down below, and her lips were indeed 'out there.'
She smiled once she saw that I had taken in all the sights and proceeded to take my order.
She turned to leave. "Oh," she said, "when I turn around, check out my ass too and let me know what you think."
She did indeed turn and walk away. She looked over her shoulder at me. Not knowing what response was expected I gave her a 'thumbs up.' She smiled and nodded. I wondered if I would also get an email survey: 'Please rate your server's buttocks on a scale from 1 to 10.'
Meanwhile the couple in the corner were having quite the time. The wife was leaning in to her husband's face. I could hear her across the room: "This is your new favorite restaurant?! Now I know why!"
Back in the hotel room, hours after having Heather lingering at my table two more times, I could have described every detail of that slim form to a police artist.
As it was, I entertained myself my own way, imagining Heather and I staying until the angry couple left. In my fantasy she announced that dessert was first a taste of those naughty inner lips, followed by the enjoyment of her other lips on me after she crawled under my table.
I had three more days in and out of Chicago, once again expecting more feminine nakedness at some sudden turn.
But Friday came too soon and I sent all my sales projections to Corporate where they would be summarized and presented by our lovely sales director.
Mandy was the definition of the term 'Milf.' She was in her late thirties, blonde and especially curvy. Although she always wore tasteful business suits at our quarterly meetings, they did little to hide her impressive bust and glimpses of her perfect legs.
I was surprised then that when I showed up, I wasn't directed to the boardroom where she always gave her presentation, but to a side office. All of the usual attendees there were, and the CEO waited for me to find a comfortable place to stand.
"I've known Mandy professionally for almost ten years, and I respect her decisions." He looked uncomfortable, and I knew we all were assuming that she had quit.
"I ask you treat her with every respect today, as she has decided to participate in the Nude Therapy."
