After many years' travels in search of a
nice
place to commune with nature as God intended, we bumped into
Prairie Paradise
, an adults-only nudist resort nestled smack in the middle of wheat country, away from everything. You know, flat as a pancake, surrounded by miles and miles of "amber waves of grain", with no purple mountains anywhere to be seen.
Cyan and I married 35 years ago, with the mutual understanding that "marriage" did not mean "exclusive". Not that we encouraged each other to date around -- we had indeed found our lifemate -- but acknowledging much of our attraction was a hedonistic streak, especially when it came to carnal pleasures. We could
technically
be called "swingers", but we're not, really, at least not in the sense of going to wanton drunken parties just to screw. We simply are open to enjoying physical gratification with others when the opportunity presents.
Prairie Paradise
is one of those opportunities. Not promoted as a "swinger camp", it is made clear in the resort's rules that sex is allowed everywhere except the hot tub and pool. The operators here recognize the realities of social nudism, versus traditional naturist parks where adults are not allowed to do what adults do, at least not in the open enjoyment of the natural ambiance.
A feature of
Paradise
is roughly 200 acres of woods breaking the monotony of the surrounding farmland. A groomed grassy trail has been carved through the woods with points of interest including, to our amusement, a small clearing with strategically placed trees for guests wishing to enjoy "tied-up naked in the woods" fantasies. Not our thing, but we appreciate the idea.
