When my sister wanted me to join her on a tantric sex retreat in Spain, simply put, I was shocked. Technically, the retreat itself wasn't focused solely on sex. It was about yoga, meditation, and other spiritually healing things. Sex was just part of the official description.
She had begged me to go during our summer break from college (I'm only two years older than she is). Oddly enough, it was our parents who had persuaded me to go. You see, our parents are hippies too, so to speak, and they're avid yoga practitioners. So they're very open minded about this sort of thing.
Why me of all people? You've got to be wondering why my sister Emily would pick her own brother to accompany her on a sexual trip like this.
The answer is fairly simple; I had been to Spain once before. That's the only reason. I had been there with dad a few years ago for a short business trip. Now that 'experience' of being a tourist was needed to guide my sister, who had never traveled overseas before, for some sort of sex adventure.
She tried explaining it to me a few times, but I wouldn't listen, mainly because I didn't want to hear about sex and my sister in the same sentence.
There were two things that convinced me. First, I was practically blackmailed by our parents in a joking way, that if I didn't go, I would be severed from the family will (and if I accompanied my sister, I'd received a financial bonus). Second, I was told that there would be plenty of hot babes on the trip, all naked. Oh yes, naked college babes, milf babes, hipster babes, and soccer mom babes. The whole gambit.
So, off we went...
***
From the start, the trip seemed to go smoothly enough. I took care of all the passports and documents, along with most of the travel arrangements. The rest would be handled by her. We were going to meet a group of yoga practitioners that Emily had become close friends with these past few years.
Emily and I were both amazed by the beauty of the land after we had landed in the airport. Then, we took a short cab ride to a nearby hotel lodge to meet with the group. There was at least 30 people total. The age range was fairly mixed. But I'd say that most of the people were in their 30's, 40's, and 50's. By the looks of things, we were the youngest.
The group was the epitome of hardcore tree-hugging, peace-sign waving liberals. And I didn't see that as a bad thing. I don't judge anybody for their political views. That was their philosophy on life. The important thing was, they were really nice people.
To make matters
less
awkward, Emily introduced me as her 'friend.' It was something that I thought was for the best. After all, how awkward would it be to have been introduced as her brother in a retreat which involved sexual health?
But anyway, the hotel lodge itself wasn't the final destination. We would soon depart on a short train ride to a fancy resort, focusing on tantra and that sort of thing. It didn't come cheap either. Emily had convinced our parents to pay $5,000 for each of us so that we can spend the week there together. Our parent's rationale was that it was great for sibling bonding, and that this would really open our minds to new things.
The train came, which was right across the street from the hotel. Since this was in a very liberal area of Spain, locals were used to seeing nudists. And the train itself had a special area for nudists to be nude. That was the area where our group would be staying on our way to the resort.
At that time, the train was set to depart in half an hour.
Now that brings us to the hard part. The most difficult and dreadful part of the trip. As Emily and I met in a private area, away from the others, we were faced the inevitable task of having to get naked.
"Do you want to go first? Or should I?" she asked as gently as possible, knowing that this was going to be difficult for me.
For some reason, I didn't get the impression that she was nervous about this at all. In fact, it seemed like she was sort of excited about this. After all, she had turned into a real spiritual hipster since spending so much time with this group.
"Are you sure there's no exception to the nudity requirement?"
She shook her head and gave a light smile. "None whatsoever. Look, I know this is hard, but this is actually very liberating. Trust me, you'll feel a sense of freedom which you've never felt before."
"So you've done this before?" I asked, eyebrow raised.
She blushed a little. "Here and there."
"Really? Where?"
"At the yoga studio back home. Often times we do it naked with lots of steam. We also use the sauna together. It's great fun and total relaxation."
"I'm regretting this trip already. You're so lucky mom and dad pushed me to be here."
"Oh, don't be like that," she scoffed. "Just focus on the bright side."
"We're going to be naked around each other. I don't see any bright side to that."
"Hello, dummy, did you see those ladies out there?" she asked in the most condescending manner. "Those are women who've toned their bodies to perfection through years of yoga. You'll get to see them naked for an entire week."
I really wanted to rebutt her on that, but I couldn't. She was right. Those women in Emily's yoga group were very attractive in a milf kind of way. And I've always had a thing for milfs.
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Plus, wait until we get to the retreat," she added. "It looks gorgeous and I've heard so many amazing things about it."
Once again, I couldn't argue with any of that.
"But still, you have to admit, it's going to be weird."
She crossed her arms. "Why? Afraid my tits are going to bite you?"
"Of course not. But they might."
"Well, they won't. My tits don't bite. But my cunt will if you're not careful."
"Jeez, Emily."
She slapped my arm. "I'm only joking. You'll see my tits, pussy, and butt. I'll see your cock. Big deal. We'll survive. Soon, this will long be forgotten."
"I don't think I'll forget the sight of you naked."
"I meant that we'll forget all about the nudity once it happens," she clarified. "It won't be a big deal once we get used to it."
"And how long do you think that'll be?"
"Maybe a year."
"Funny."
She slapped my arm again. "It's called jokes. I have no idea how long it'll take for us to get used to our nudity. But I'm sure it'll be harmless."
"Okay, so who goes first?"
Emily gave a mock sigh. "Nudity is about confidence in oneself. I am a sexually enlightened young woman. Confident in my appearance. Confident with my spiritual energy."
"That sounds deep."
"It's more than just 'sounding deep.' Let me show you what that means."
