We left Sarah's story when she and her mum and dad left the holiday campsite.
Join us for
Part 3
now!
The family is home.
Family tradition has it that they spend one week at home as a family after camping, before mum and dad resume work. Sarah has a further couple of weeks at home before returning to college.

Home
We arrive home from holidays after dinner, which we took in a roadside diner. We unpack the car and get busy settling back in. Then we sit together and relax. Mum and dad side by side on the couch, I on an easy chair opposite them. We drink one glass of wine and have started on a second one, when mum says,
'Sarah, you asked to be allowed to be naked. We agreed. Your dad and I discussed it and we think there is no reason to postpone. Also, it should be a bit of an occasion. Why so? Your need is exhibition. Best to exhibit then. For us, let us properly see you and get the confrontation over with.'
I respond, 'Oh, mum, I'd thought to slip into it gradually, without emphasis. I didn't expect you to push me.'
'Well, as I said, you asked for it, not us. You're the one that wanted to be seen and involve us in your wishes. It is only fair that you have it on our terms. What we want you to do is stand up right here before us and strip.' My dad gets up and carries the coffee table off, so that there is ample space in front of them. Ah, so close!
'But...'
'Sarah, if it is hard for you, please don't think it is easy for us. Dear, try to enjoy the moment and we'll do the same. It is what you want. And you are young and pretty.'
She is right. I should enjoy it. My parents are the last to kill me. At the same time, they are too close for comfort. But I asked for it and should go.
I get up and stand in front of them. My mum beckons me to come up closer, until I am about 1 m (3 ft) away from their knees. Close!
I am wearing flip flops, skinny jeans, a tight pink lycra tanktop, white cotton panties and a red bra. Before I kick off my flip flops, I look my parents in the eye in turn. They both look serious, but manage smiles when I look at them. I attempt a smile back.
Then I kick the flip flops away. The show is on. The tanktop is skin tight. I love lycra for that. It takes a firm pull to drag it off over my head. I cast it aside. I realise this is not a strip tease, however, and I go and retrieve the garment, fold it up nicely and put it on the coffee table. We all chuckle and this breaks the tension a bit.
More confident I release the buttons of my jeans and pull them down, stepping out one leg after the other. Here I am in my underwear. I draw in a good breath and undo the clip of my bra. I force myself not to hide my breasts. I bend over, conscious of my swinging breasts, and step out of my panties. There I am, naked in front of my parents.
'Stand up straight, dear, and let us have a look at you. Just relax and let your arms hang by your sides. Does it feel any less easy now, compared to out on the streets of the town and at Rose's? Or the lake?
I sigh and say,
'It feels harder. A lot. I feel I'm being inspected. Like an object.'
'Inspected, yes. We want to see you well, all of you. We feel that is the deal. But an object, no. You are our daughter and we love you. This is you, a person, and we respect you. The inspection takes nothing away from that. On the contrary, in fact. You are our flesh and blood after all.'
These words boost my confidence. I raise my arms and slowly turn around, so that they see all of me. I say, 'Well, here I am. It is true, this is me and I like that you look at me.'
'Dear Sarah, you look beautiful. We see you differently now. In the obvious sense, of course. But we realise your need to show yourself, in the nude no less - which is vanity, isn't it? - , and we will therefore look at you shamelessly. And see you as a sexual being too.
'That may be a taboo. With reason, perhaps. Dads especially are not supposed to see their daughters like this. That means nothing to us. What we do and see is consensual behaviour between adults and we see that no child should come of it. That is all!
'We are all adults, that is one. We all agree to what we do here: see you and for you to be seen. That is second. Third, your dad will not have intercourse with you. For now, also, he will not be naked with you. As your mother, I may or may not. I am not sure yet. At the moment, I don't want to leave your dad out, you see. But who knows how we all feel later.
'You go to college again in a few weeks' time. We suggest the following rules until then. Firstly, you should not cross your legs, certainly not in our presence. This rule is to keep you aware of your sex, knowing that we can see it at all times. Do you agree? It will be harder than you think. We women have learnt to cross them as a matter of course.'
I reply, 'O, mum... Yes, you are my parents and I can almost feel the taboo now. I had not realised. At the same time, I can trust you. So, yes, I agree to this rule. Let's see how hard it is.'
'OK, Sarah. We are in this together. A strange way for a family to bond, but it may be good. The second rule is we want no half measures. You should be naked at home at all times. The only exception being that you are allowed panties when you have your period. You'll tell either of us when you do and that is all. This means that your dad will be aware. You and I are aware of each other's cycles, but now your dad will be as well. I think that is good for both of you. Do you agree to be naked at all times, barring your periods?'
'Wow, mum. You are really serious about this. Again, I had thought a much more casual approach. I am both happy and apprehensive about your suggestion. I will agree, of course.'
'We are glad. But here is the snag. At all times means at all times. Your sister will be home for a week tomorrow. And there will be visitors. We want to include your sister in this, so you have to agree to continue when she is here. As to the visitors, your dad, your sister and I will take a view on the visitors we expect. To some it may be offensive. Some will have nothing to do with our private lives. We'll let you know about those. But generally, we expect you to continue to be naked, no matter what. Is that OK?'
'My! You Γ re really serious! Don't know what I should think! I guess if you take care of our reputation, and safety, why should I worry? But I feel a cold sweat breaking! It will be true exhibition. Scary! Lord knows how I will feel. I must try, however. It is what I think I want. Only one way to find out if this is really me, or not.'
'That is right. That is what we think too. We want you to be the real you. We are not sure about the streets, but here at home you are safe. And we'll take the call on the reputation.'
'Thanks, mum and dad. I still feel very naked opposite you, but safe too. It is a trip, a high... Thank you for supporting me.'
'One final little rule for now. You'll sleep naked, of course, but with the door of your room open. Without cover, if the temperature allows. You have the airco and the open window to play with for that. We may come and have a look at you whenever we like. OK?'
'OK, OK! This and any other rule you come up with I will accept.'
'That is a good girl! Now, time to relax'
My sister
The next morning I am reading a book in the lounge when I hear the front door and my sister's voice ringing out, 'Hello, there! Anyone home?'
Mum cries out from the kitchen, 'Yes, we're here!'
I hear my sister drop her bags and rush to the kitchen. There she greets mum and dad and they exchange greetings, how the trip was etc. She is highly buoyant. I stay in the lounge for now. Nerves prevent me from joining the fun just yet. At some point, my dad calls out to me, 'Sarah, your sister is home!'
I presume they have not told Irene about my newly naked state. I have to get up, and will get up, and greet her. I am a ball of nerves.
Her eyes grow like saucers when she sees me enter. I am shocked at the words she uses.
'Dear little sis, now look at you! You are shameless! I see the cunt, tits and ass - sorry, mum and dad, vagina, breasts and behind. Like I have not seen them since I was little too and you a mere baby. Of course, you did not have breasts yet and your vagina was closed like a seashell. Outrageous, you! Now come here and let me hug you.'
We hug chest to chest, and she places me at two arms' length and looks me over from head to toe. I am excited. Is that strange?
I am glad with this reception. Didn't know my sister well enough in the body and sex department. An opportunity to bond!
We all sit around the kitchen table and dad offers coffees around. The bonding goes at lightning speed, when we are all enjoying our coffees, Irene starts a bit of a monologue,
'Sarah, mum and dad, I am no stranger to wanting to be nude. Except that I started practising it in my later college years. Ever since I left the dorms and moved to a room of my own, I chose to be naked there. There was an erotic tinge to that at first, but my need did not derive from devious tendencies alone. Being naked felt pure and natural to me; that was why. So, it came to happen that I opened the door to one of my friends in that state. When I saw her face, I immediately realised my mistake. We laughed, I got dressed and that was that.
'But it happened again, and again, to female and male friends alike. As I study visual arts, my friends stem from artsy circles, where fortunately few taboos prevail.
