Hey, friends! Your old nudist pal Jess here again, and what a story I have to tell you all this time.
As some of you know, I spend a lot of my time here at the Avalon Resort.
It is a popular nudist resort a couple hours west of the Baltimore and Washington area, in the hills of West Virginia.
I have been coming here since 2005 to relax in the hot tub, and lay out nude in the sun. Going to the Saturday night nude dance is fun, plus I hang out sometimes at the nude bar we have here at the club.
But the story today has to do with what I did on my way to a 2-week beach vacation.
I have always liked Fripp Island, and of course, Hilton Head.
I guess we started going to Hilton Head back in 1969. I was a kid then.
So, you ask where does a nudist guy vacation when he is not at his favorite clothing-optional resort?
Well, we are like you textile folks (people who wear clothes). We go to the ocean, and relax on the beach. Of course, we have to wear clothes, but that is okay, I guess. At least it's different from our usual nudist routine the rest of the year.
I have always worried about going to Hilton Head to a regular beach. I dreamed once that I forgot where I was and stripping naked for all to see.
Can you imagine the news story? "Nudist strips at Hilton Head, beach crowd gets upset." That would be the news story if I got naked at a beach, which was neither clothing-optional or a nude beach.
People would go on local television and say. "We were at Hilton Head, we paid a fortune to be there, then this guy shows up and strips naked in front of our whole family. We had to cover the eyes of our kids. It was terrible."
Next they interview a sexy 25-year-old woman vacationing at Hilton Head. She is from New Jersey. The woman tells WCSC-TV 5 this: "It wasn't that big a deal, if you get my drift. Ha! Ha! The nudist guy really showed his short-comings." Fortunately for me, all this was only a dream.
Every time I go to Hilton Head, I love a day trip to Historic Charleston, S.C.
The seafood is great there, and a walk along the Battery is nice. This time I even go back to Fort Sumter. Later on I took a carriage ride in the historic district.
I am a big Civil War buff. It was like taking a trip back to 1861.
The Confederates tried to buy Fort Sumter before firing on it. Lincoln would not budge, and would not sell the fort out in Charleston harbor.
Yankees would not leave their fort and go back up north, even though their food supply was getting low.
The union soldiers believed they were duty-bound to hold federal property. The Southerners thought the fort and Yanks were in a fort now located in a foreign country to them. Lincoln sent a re-supply ship down there, but the South Carolina forces turned it back.
The Rebs were fed up with the "blue-bellies, inside the new Confederacy."
But was it a new country then or merely the state of South Carolina in rebellion?
Someone wrote at the time that South Carolina was too small to be a Republic, but too large to be an insane asylum.
Like my Fort Sumter visit, going back to places I've been to before is a big part of this story.
You see, all nudists north and south have friends at about every resort they have ever been to. Going to your old club is a reunion of like-minded people who like to get together naked.
Going back to my old club in Chesnee, South Carolina was great. I had not been there in 17-years.
What's more, I had not seen the hot RN named Carol since 2004.
I had a super crush on her back in 2001, as you might remember from the nudist balloon festival story I told this summer.
Carol was special because she took me under her wing, so-to-speak when I was a newbie.
Carol had been a nudist for years before I started living the lifestyle. Her tan was dark, her skin was perfect, and she was gorgeous.
As much as I admired Carol as a person, I was always super intoxicated by her beauty. She had a soft and sexy, teenage-girl voice, but had the body of a woman. To be blunt, she was a world-class MILF.
I always played it cool around Carol, but I always secretly wanted to have passionate sex with her.
Remember the time she invited me to her pool to swim nude and stay the night at her house over in Asheville? You all might have to read the balloon festival story about us.
It a nutshell, it was a one-sided love story. I loved Carol and she was nice enough to let me enjoy my fantasy dream life about her and us. She did not even want to kiss me in real life. Remember that time I kissed and missed?
It happened in Charlotte after we went to see a stage play in the Queen City.
If you missed the story, I'll give you the short version of it.
I got so turned on, I lost self-control. First time that ever happened to me. But I loved the feeling.
One reader of my "Nudity in the Rain" story said I was sometimes too turned on to write good stories. I must admit the comment cuts pretty close to the cotton, as we say down South.
In other words, it has a grain of truth to it. I am usually turned on when I write this stuff in the middle of the night.
Ol' Jess is a sexual guy. I have always been like that.
So, here is what happened with the woman I loved.
I tried to kiss Carol as we were walking in a public park that day near what is called Uptown Charlotte.
Carol liked me as a good nudist friend, but had a lover at the time.
She neither wanted or needed another lover.
So, she wisely turned her head when I tried to kiss her. I kissed her hair instead of her mouth, as I intended.
It surprised me when this happened, but being self-centered, I admired my brave kiss attempt more than I worried about Carol's kiss-dodge. We remained good nudist friends.
I sometimes see myself as the dog that chases the school bus. I don't really want to catch the bus. I only want to see if I can.
The bus represents a woman. I am the dog, who just likes the challenge of the chase.
