Naked Camp 02

I tossed my bag in the back seat of Jay's sedan and got in. He got in and pulled out and headed for the highway. I was quiet. I was thinking about what was happening. My wife was sending me off to a 9 day long nude retreat run by and for gay men and had signed me up for the Body Electric.

"Are you going to be quiet the whole trip?"

I looked at him. He was smiling.

"I'm just a little confused. Jane asked me to trust her and block off this week. I assumed we were doing something together."

"And now you're going off with some guy to something you aren't sure of."

"Exactly."

"So, I know we've never met, but I've known Jane forever. She and I used to be very close."

"How so?" I asked

"Not that way," he laughed.

"We knew each other in college and then worked together for a long time. She was my office wife. You know what that is, right?"

I nodded. I had had an office wife before. Not an affair, but a person who you could talk to about everything. Your safe place at work.

"Jane was my rock when I came out of the closet. I was there for her when she got divorced. We shared everything for decades. And she has talked a lot about you to me."

I looked at him. I didn't like the idea of her talking to people about me.

"Don't worry. It was all good. Jane was afraid to get involved again. She liked you a lot but still hadn't gotten over being burned by her first husband. I know she loves you and wants the best for you. I also know she struggles with how her change has affected you."

I didn't say anything. I was really uncomfortable. We drove in silence for a few miles and then Jay continued.

"I have to admit, I was skeptical of her idea at first. But, she is pretty smart about people. I think she was right about what to do."

"And what is that? I'm not really sure what her plan is?"

Jay just smiled.

"And let's just let things unfold, shall we?"

We drove in silence for a while. If I had my phone I would have listened to an audiobook or played a game or something. It's really tough to go cold turkey with no phone. We stopped for coffee and gas and chatted about the landscape and whatnot. I was too confused and nervous to ask anything else and Jay seemed content to let me wonder. We got off the highway and took some back roads and came to a gated entrance. Jay gave his name to the attendant, and we went up the drive and parked before a large barn. We got out and walked over to the barn to check in. There were a half dozen men working the stations. Everyone was dressed but some were just in shorts or the like. We gave our names, got our nametags, our cabin assignment and our stack of linens. There were a couple of guys with golf carts to take people to the cabins. We tossed our bags and linens in a cart and rode over to a cabin. The cabin was just what you would expect at summer camp. Big red building with one open room full of cots and open faced shelves. At the far end was a walled off bathroom with two of everything. There were cots for twelve.

"It's good to get here early," Jay said. "Give me a hand."

At the far end, you could turn two of the bunks sideways and push them together and make a double bed. We did that and then Jay showed me how to squeeze the mattresses together and make one bed.

"Why are we doing this?" I asked.

"So we can sleep together," he replied.

What the....I thought to myself.

Jane had told me to do what I was told, so I shut up and did it. We put our stuff on the shelves and then went for a walk. Jay took me all over the camp and pointed out the dining facility, the gym, the disco, the pools and everything. There were a few people walking around, all clothed.

"This is early arrival weekend," Jay said. "Most people don't arrive till Sunday afternoon. Right now, it is mainly people doing workshops or some people who just want a couple extra days. Most of the summer it is a regular summer camp. The rule is no nudity till five o'clock today. Then the rule is no clothes at all."

"About that," I said. "I'm not comfortable with the idea of being naked with my cage on. Or the collar. I want to take them off before the weekend really starts."

Jay just laughed.

"No."

I was about to argue when Jay saw someone and waved.

"Hey, Frank!"

A guy looked up and walked over to us. He gave Jay a hug.

"What's up Jay. I'm glad you're here."

He looked at me and then back at Jay.

"What about Mike? Is he here? Are you together still?"

"Of course. He just isn't into the whole camp thing. He decided not to come this year. This is Tim. He's my husband for the week."

Frank shook my hand and welcomed me. He and Jay caught up for a bit and then parted.

"What did you mean by husband for the week?" I asked.

"Just what it sounds like,"

We walked around some more, and I saw a couple of guys walking across a dam at the end of the lake.

"Where are they going?" I asked.

"Ah. That is what people call across the lake. There are a couple of cabins over there. The rule is this side of the lake is naturist only. No public sex. Over there, anything goes."

Jay looked at his watch.

"We should head back. Body Electric starts at 5:00."

We went back to our cabin.

"Can we remove the collar and cage? Before we get naked."

"No for the last time, no. And you should wear something to Body Electric. It starts clothed, mostly."

I wanted to protest, but I didn't think it would go anywhere. Jay and I walked up to the cabin where Body Electric was held. There were a few men there and more walking up the hill. We checked in and went into the big room. Some men were nude, some clothed. I was getting nervous being around naked gay men.

Right at 5:00 the moderator started the program and did all the usual retreat admin Rules, privacy, not sharing outside the group, the usual. Plus he emphasized that the program was erotic but not sexual. There would be plenty of touch, but no oral or anal or anything. Erections were welcome but not required and he asked everyone to restrain from ejaculating all weekend. He outlined some of the program and then we broke for dinner. We were to return at 7:00 clothed for the first exercise. We all broke and walked to the dining facility. Some people joined friends for dinner or ate in groups from Body Electric. Jay and I ate with a couple guys. We chatted about the trip there and the other two were a couple. They had never done the workshop so Jay explained a few things but suggested they just take it in as it went.

(I'm not going to give much detail on the Body Electric exercises. I've done the program twice. It is phenomenal. You should go)

The moderator started up at 7:00 and we did some movement and some breathing exercises, we split up into little triads and were given some prompts to talk about. It was challenging to answer some of these questions with men I had never met before. For the last exercise of the night we were in another randomly selected triad, and we took turns "massaging each other out of our clothes." One by one, we would blindfold one member of the three and over the course of five minutes touch them and undo their clothing and remove it until they stood naked with our hands on their body.

One guy volunteered to go first, and the other two of us slowly touched him all over and then unbuttoned and removed his shirt. I stayed behind him and touched his back. Then we pulled his shorts down and he was naked. I touched him all over his back, including his ass, while the other guy touched his front. The instructor said for us to hug and then we started over. I didn't want to go next, so we started touching and caressing the other guy. I wanted to be behind again but it didn't work. I was removing his shirt and caressing his chest and then it was time.

We slid his shorts down his legs and I touched his thighs and close to his balls. His cock was swinging in front of me and was half erect. I touched it with my fingertips and he jerked a little. It was the first time I had ever touched another man's cock. I started to take it in my hand, but the moderator told us to hug and rotate. I hugged the two men and then they blindfolded me. My head was spinning and I don't know how I didn't just fall down during this. They massaged me out of my shirt and all I could think about was the collar around my neck. Then I felt my shorts being pulled down and I was terrified. I wasn't aroused at all. I was shaking though. Now I was standing naked in a room full of gay men wearing a collar and a chastity cage around my cock. I just felt that every single man must be staring at me. Hands were going up and down my back and chest and one of the men whispered in my ear.

"It's ok. You're safe. Just breathe."

I took deep shuddering breaths and then the moderator told us to hug. I took off the blindfold and the three of us hugged. All naked, the other two had partial erections that I felt against my thigh and stomach. We broke from the hug and went back to a big circle. Now every man was nude. Half the men had partial erections. A few were looking at me, but most were just looking around the room or at the moderator. We did some more movement exercises and some breathing and then got back into a circle for closing. The moderator instructed us to get some rest, to refrain from sex, and that we would start after breakfast.

I was gathering up my clothes and getting ready to head back to the cabin when the moderator came over.

"Do you plan on wearing the cage all weekend? It's ok if you do, but it will interfere with you fully experiencing the program."

I tried to figure out what to say. I didn't have the key. And I wasn't in charge. I looked around for Jay but he was talking to a couple of guys.

"I can't answer that," I said.

I pointed to Jay.

"You would have to ask him."

"Ah. Okay. I'll talk to him."

He walked over to Jay and they chatted for a moment. When they were done, Jay finished his conversation and came over to me.

"Let's head back to the cabin. It's been a long day."

We went back to the cabin. We had about 8 men total staying there, all of whom were doing Body Electric. We made introductions. Some hugged us, others just waved. I was still embarrassed and incredibly self-conscious in my cage. A few of the guys went for a walk or finished setting up their bunks. Jay and I brushed our teeth and got under the covers. Another first for me. Sleeping with a man. Naked. Even though it August, it was chilly at night in the mountains. I ended up cuddling against Jay a lot during the night. I certainly didn't sleep well. I'm an early riser in general. I woke before he did and decided to go to the dining facility to see if there was coffee. I put on a flannel shirt and my sandals, grabbed a book and left. There was coffee ready, so I sat and read for a while and enjoyed my cup. I went for a walk after. There were other men out walking early, mostly dressed like me in a light jacket or shirt. I went back to the cabin and Jay was up and ready for breakfast. After breakfast we walked up to the retreat cabin. After opening circle and some breathing and movement exercises, the moderator broke us up into small groups to talk. He gave us prompts and we went around and discussed our pasts and our sexual experiences. It was eye opening in many ways.

After lunch, just before we resumed, Jay called me over. He had the keys in his hand.

"You'll need to be out of the cage for the rest of the day."

He took off the cage and we got back into a circle to start. Now I felt self-conscious because my cock was free. I actually got partially hard and a couple of guys were looking at me. The afternoon we moved into more sharing and touch exercises. Throughout the afternoon and evening sessions I found myself touching other men and letting them touch me. At one point we were in pairs and we stood for a long time just holding each other's cock and maintaining eye contact. It had been so long, I was completely erect during this exercise. When I got hard, he did too, and I had to hold his eyes for many minutes while his cock throbbed in my hand. That exercise was challenging for me. After closing circle, Jay put the cage back on me. People were milling about and chatting and Jay publicly caged me and we walked back to the cabin.

"How did today go for you?" he asked.

"It was difficult," I said. "It's a lot to take in."

"Let's get a jacket and go for a walk."

It was after 10 and a little cool. I grabbed my flannel and he got a jacket and we went for a walk around the camp.

"Talk to me," he said.

I took a deep breath.

"It's all challenging. I've wanted to be naked publicly for a long time, but this isn't exactly how I pictured it. And I'm not homophobic or anything, but I feel very vulnerable being surrounded by naked gay men. And being hugged by men who are hard. And handling cocks. I'd never touched another man's cock before and now I've lost count. And having my cock held by men. It's surreal."

"And??"

"And the collar and the cage. That was something I wanted to do with Jane. I wanted to do that power exchange with my wife. Not here. Not with men."

Jay was silent. We walked on and he didn't say anything.

"I feel really out of place and like an outsider. Wearing the cage makes me feel even more like I don't belong. I'm the only one wearing a chastity cage, or a collar. And I'm not gay. I'm just totally off balance."

"How do you feel about the Body Electric?"

"It's interesting. The things that I've heard today are eye opening. And I shared things about myself that I didn't think I realized. It's a powerful program. I'm not sure I fit, but it's been interesting so far."

We walked on in silence for a bit. I think Jay was waiting to see if there was more. Finally, he spoke.

"Do you want my advice on how not to feel like an outsider?"

"Yes."

"First, when more people show up tomorrow night, you'll see more men wearing fetish items. There is a big leather community here. Honestly, you may not see anyone else in a cage, but you'll see plenty of collars or other things."

"Okay. What else? How else do I not feel like I don't belong here?"

Jay stopped walking and I turned to face him. He took me in his arms and kissed me. Gently, and then not gently. One hand went down to my ass and squeezed it hard, the other stayed wrapped around me holding me tightly. He broke the kiss and pulled back a little. I could just make out his face in the moonlight.

"Second, act like you belong here."

He leaned back in and kissed me again. His hands ran up and down my body and I found myself responding to his kiss. I was trying to get hard in the cage and I could feel his cock stiffening against me. It sounds cliché, but I melted in his arms. I kissed him eagerly and held him tight. There was a couple walking down the path towards us. I wanted to pull away, but Jay wouldn't let me. It was two guys from our cabin. They smiled and kept walking. Jay let me go and we started walking back towards our cabin. We didn't really talk anymore. We washed up and got under the covers. I curled up next to Jay and my mind finally stopped racing. It was another cool night, and we slept spooning most of the night and I woke up feeling his hard cock against my ass.

The final day of Body Electric built to the final exercise. Jay uncaged me again after breakfast. The morning was devoted to more touching exercises, more sharing in small groups, more movement and breathing till after lunch we had the big finale. We split into two groups and each group got 90 minutes of nonstop erotic touch. Everything was designed to raise erotic energy but not to the point of release. The afternoon was a blur of naked bodies, cocks, moans, balls, et cetera. First giving and then receiving. I'm not sure which was more challenging for me. But the afternoon ended and we had our final closing circle and ended the retreat. We had a little time before dinner and there was a lot of conversation and sharing among the participants. Jay called me over and started to cage my cock again. It wasn't easy since I was so aroused from all the touch, but finally he clicked the lock shut. Two of our cabin mates joined us.

"Seems a shame to raise all that energy and then just lock it up," Michael said.

"Waste of a lovely cock," Sean added.

"Not at all," Jay said. "You have to raise the energy and then focus it."

We went back to the cabin to shower. Everybody had massage oil on them from the big touch exchange. Jay and I showered together. We stood close under one shower head and soaped and rinsed each other. I want to say I didn't know where this was going, but of course I did. I just wasn't able to accept it yet. We stood under the hot water in each other's arms and kissed. There were only two shower heads and Michael and Sean watched us for a few minutes and then started cat calling us and telling us to get a room and stop hogging the shower. Jay and I got out and dried off. Jay wanted to go to the opening cocktail hour before dinner. It's not really my thing, but I went along. I had gotten used to the 30 or so men in the retreat but starting today there were hundreds of men.

I think they were expecting over 400 participants for Naked Camp and they were all starting to arrive. The weather was lovely and there were some awnings set up near the check in barn and naked men were milling about, drinking beer, greeting each other, hugging and joking. Jay was a lot more outgoing than me. He had been here before and he was gay. I still felt like an outsider. I thought about his advice. "Act like you belong here." I wasn't sure how to do that, but I tried. Some men complimented me on my cage and collar. Some just looked me up and down and went back to their combination. I was getting a beer and a beefy, hairy guy started talking to me. We chatted a bit and he asked me if I was here with anybody.

"My husband is around her somewhere," I answered.

It felt extremely odd to say that, seeing as I was happily married to a woman. It also made me feel a little more confident. It gave me an excuse to move on from conversations. Jay circled back to me after a while and suggested we head to dinner. The dining facility was much more crowded now that so many men had arrived. We got our food and sat with some guys from the retreat. The conversation was fun and mostly about what we liked about the exercises. When we finished Jay suggested we go for a walk. We explored the trails on our side of the lake and enjoyed the sun.

"Now that Body Electric is done, what do we do for the rest of the week?" I asked.

"Relax. Play. Have sex," Jay replied.

"About that last part," I said.

"Nope." Jay said with a laugh.

"What do you mean, nope?"

"Whatever your objection was going to be, the answer is nope."

I looked at him and he just smiled.

"Jane and I had this conversation. You're here. You're going to experience everything this week."

Jay looked at his watch.

"Let's go across the lake," he said.

We walked down towards the dam and across it. I was getting nervous now. I was so conscious of him walking naked beside me. I could see his cock swinging as we walked. Other men were walking the path also. We walked up a small hill and there were some cabins and a campfire area and long benches. There were a fair number of men there already. There were a couple of big coolers full of beer. Men stood in small groups talking, or touching each other, or kissing. The door to one of the cabins was open and I could hear voices coming from in there. Jay's friend Frank walked over and joined us.

We had a beer and while they chatted I watched the surroundings. The touching got more explicit as the evening went on. I saw more kissing and stroking of cocks. A lot of men were half hard or fully erect. I realized that Jay had said something to me and I had missed it.
