Clearing the Air
On Sunday, George and his dad, Fred, were in Tom and Becky's backyard with Tom.
The fathers were getting to know one another since their children were dating and seemed to be serious about each other, especially in light of George accompanying Sam on her family's vacation. The introductory chit-chat went well with the men having compatible interests.
After an hour or so of the men getting comfortable with one another, Tom said "I hate to do this as we first meet, but I have to get this out of the way first.
"I am afraid I have unintentionally put you in a difficult position.
"You see, our vacation was a naturist one. I should have thought to give you a courtesy call so you would be fully informed, but it did not occur to me until later. I want to offer my sincerest apology."
George spoke up right away "Dad, I knew it was a naturist vacation. It was my responsibility to tell you, but I didn't. I'm sorry for not doing that."
Tom continued. "George is being honorable, but that does not account for my lapse. As a parent, I would have appreciated hearing it from another parent. We are all concerned about our children's welfare. They are adults, but I expect our concern for them never ends.
"To add to the issue, Pam figured it out and cleared the air with Becky. That was a brave act on her part. But I recognize the position you are in because your wife and son are okay with this before you were allowed to express an opinion. I want to get your opinion so we can make amends.
"I fully understand why you might be angry with George or even with Pam. But it is entirely my fault you have been left in the dark. In my defense, my issue was that the vacation date had been set and I did not feel I knew you well enough to broach the subject. It may help you understand, but it does not excuse my failing."
Fred's face showed his consternation. He said "Thanks for being up front with me; you are an honorable man. Please give me a few minutes. It is a lot to consider." He walked to a remote chair with his back to Tom. He sat quietly for 10 minutes or so. He motioned to George to come over.
They talked for a few minutes. George's face showed his worry. Tears formed in his eyes. His dad hugged him. A small smile formed and he went into the house. 30 seconds later, Pam appeared. They talked for about five minutes. Her face mostly showed worry and concern. She showed some tears, hugged her husband and went in, also showing a thin smile.
Two minutes later Fred turned around, scowling. As he approached Tom his scowl softened a bit. He held out his hand for a handshake. "Yes, I do feel squeezed. But I understand how everything unfolded and it is clear no one tried to put me in a bind; it just came about by circumstances. I hold no one responsible. The fact that you came forward to take that responsibility means I look forward to a strong and lasting friendship with an honorable man.
"As far as naturism goes, I dabbled with it in my young years. My interest was mostly because I wanted to see lots of tits. Over time I realized there was a lot more to it than tits, pussies, dicks and asses. Naturism is great.
"But tits are a plus." He added with a snicker.
"When I met Pam, I did not want her to think I was a pervert. When we got serious, we did not live where it was convenient, then the kids came, and life happened.
"Now that George is an adult, it is time to reconsider. Pam and George want us to be a naturist family like you guys. I have agreed to give it a try, which means it would be nice to have naturist friends, also. I hope you can be our first naturist family friends."
"We look forward to having you as friends who are also naturists. One side benefit of being naturist friends is that there are two more sets of tits, pussies, and asses for you to ogle. In my case, one more set. The girls get some new dicks to look at." Tom said in a joking tone.
"I am sure you are familiar with traditional naturist rules that are designed to work in groups that include strangers. Our group are friends, so we are a pretty flexible with our interactions. I bring this up because if our casual approach doesn't work with your family, we will adjust to make things work for everyone."
"Sounds good to me, what do you do differently?"
"First, ogling. Ogling the women in our household is OK. The women's bodies are new to you. You are allowed to look, ogle, and stare. In fact, Becky and Sam might be offended if you did not."
"Interesting, I was always told not to stare."
"Same here. But you are expected to, just to be polite," adding a little chuckle.
"I always try to be polite and will extend my courtesy to Sam and Becky. You should let me know if my politeness becomes cloying, adding his own chuckle. I'll check with Pam and let you know if it bothers her. As for me, it seems to indicate an appreciation for her."
"How about folks staring at you?"
"You all can look, but I have nothing that deserves a stare."
"Erect? You will be staring at two women you have not seen naked before. They are worthy of your stare."
"No problem, I will make sure I am covered."
"That is our second change. You do not need to hide erections. They are perfectly normal and," in a confidential tone, "enjoyed by the women. Jack and I are straight, but we might look, too, just to be polite." Snickering.
"That would probably be okay." Letting a smile slip out.
"I am glad you like to exhibit; the women love it when a man prominently shows his affection."
"I did not say 'gladly' allow them to see." But he was unable to mask the smile.
"It might be torture for you, but somehow I am not convinced." As he gave a knowing smile back. Fred tried to toss it off, but his guilty embarrassment showed.
"We do have a third change that you may want us to get rid of because it sounds a bit over the top, if you want to take care of an erection, you may do so privately," Fred nodded to the normalcy, "or wherever."
"You don't mean where people can see!?" He exclaimed; his interest piqued. As a closet exhibitionist, the thought of jerking off for Sam was intriguing.
