The pandemic had been going on for a year. I was working from home and loved it.
My wife had been laid off but was enjoying free time and not having to worry about exposing herself to the virus at her work. Enhanced unemployment benefits made it financially possible for her to take a break for the first time in years.
The amount of togetherness was a blessing for our sex lives. No commute and not feeling like you were running the rat race left a lot of energy to spare. We got up to some adventures in private and went to a swing club once things had loosened up a bit. We didn't swap, but being fucked in public, and seeing men who would have ravaged her had she given as much of a nod was both hot and empowering for her.
I shared the story of my NOLA adventure with her. She found it a turn-on but felt that being present in that kind of hookup could affect the dominant and submissive energy we had established together. She knew I would play with men again, but wanted to hear about it after the fact when my erection would not have to be shared.
After some time, being around each other 24/7 meant we didn't have stories about our day to share, and we started to feel like we were getting under each other's feet. She said she would appreciate some alone time. The thought had crossed my mind before, but I hadn't shared it as I thought it might hurt her feelings.
Then I found out about a men's only campground about an hour from us. It was clothing optional, had a small lake and a large pool, and a hot tub with a comfortable area for sunbathing. I found it on a gay hookup site, and so I knew this wasn't a standard nudist community where public sexuality wouldn't be welcome.
I hadn't been camping since I met my now wife. She is NOT an outdoors type. I used to keep camping gear in my trunk and take off for quick weekend excursions when I was younger. I found it a cheap getaway, and a nice change from the urban area I lived in. I wasn't one for hiking or mountain climbing, but I was an experienced car camper, and still had a lot of accessories I had relied on back in the day.
This seemed like a great opportunity for me to get to camp, to give us a break from each other's company, and potentially find a new playmate or two.
I booked my stay for a primitive camp spot. For the next few weeks, I gathered a tent and all the gear I needed and wondered what awaited me. My wife was aware of my plans, but I had not shared the nature of the campground. I wasn't sure I would get up to anything naughty and didn't want to set expectations in her horny mind that I might not fulfill.
Once the big day came, I packed up and shipped out after some vigorous but comforting 'goodbye for now' sex. I was very tempted to share that I was about to spend days surrounded by naked men who enjoyed sex with other men, but I kept the fantasies to myself and used them to make my cock as hard as it had been for some time. She noticed and commented that I was going to miss her cunt very much. She was both right and wrong.
The camp setup was quick. The campground wasn't huge, but it was secluded in the woods of a rural county in Southern Indiana. There were trailers and RVs and a few cabins including a four-man bunkhouse that had tempted me when I first began planning my trip. But the appeal of not being forced to sleep with strangers told me a tent was my best choice.
Primitive camping was divided between two areas. One was known for louder music and lights and possibly noisy gatherings, while the other site was intended for quiet evenings and campfires for light. I chose the quieter option. I figured I could visit the party area, and retreat to a peaceful place when I was ready to call it a night.
The pool area and shower house were well constructed but not plush. Cinder Block buildings with a lot of wood. Very butch. The pools were big with both a heated and unheated pool as well as a very large hot tub and lots of lounges for getting as much sun as the sky would provide.
The campground was advertised as clothing optional, but most were not choosing that option. There were men of every body type, including some who helped improve my image of my decidedly Dad bod. I had eaten well during the pandemic lockdown and was sporting a gut. I'm fairly hairy, so I'm a bear type now. I didn't see much modesty and no judgment. After 45 minutes of self-induced anxiety I said out loud "When in Rome..." and stripped down to the full Monty save for some tough sandals and a towel to lay wherever I might choose to sit.
