Being a sixty-two-year-old woman in a 55+ community has its challenges. But to Stella Marino, it's also filled with endless possibilities. She describes her existence as "living the cliche "retired in Florida."
Stella is widowed, feisty, and fresh out of the New York corporate lifestyle. Always looking for new adventures, she and her husband Tom had traveled most of the world. That all ended with Tom's heart attack on Machu Picchu.
Not only did Tom's early demise change Stella's travel plans but also the great sex experiences that were a fun addition to their general touring. The couple delighted in living outside the norm and away from the "correct" lifestyle. Their favorite activity was to have sex in an exposed location with an attitude of invitation. Sort of a "come over and cum" visual invite. Now being alone in her new environment, Stella was ready to create her new lifestyle.
She began by finding where the "dogging" locations were. There were four. She would wear her most revealing and accommodating nightwear but after several tries, she realized that this was an early bird community. "Not much life after nine o'clock," she thought.
That changed after finding an invitation envelope stuck in her screen door. The invite was a flyer with a picture of a teacup in the middle.
"while my man is out playing golf" were the words around the teacup picture.
"Am I being invited to a woman's afternoon tea?" ran through her head. Her gut told her it was going to be something more. So, on a late Thursday morning, she showed up.
There were four other golf carts lined up in front of the house. An attractive mature woman wearing a mid-thigh pink tea shirt answered the door. The back of her shirt was adorned with the teacup logo. Stella was welcomed as a newcomer and handed an apple martini. So much for the lady's tea party.
After being introduced to four other women wearing the same shirt, Carol, the hostess announced, "OK, let's get to it."
"Stella, you were invited here to see if you and the club are a fit," Carol said.
"Ladies," she said and with that, all the women removed their shirts and were totally naked. "So, as you can see, this is not a shy group."
