The First Time… It has been so long that being nude has been part of my life that it seems like I have always been naked...but, I was thinking about it, and there really is a marked "beginning" for me. About four years ago when Rob and I first discovered each other we went for a drive during the week (he has a very flexible schedule) in a State Park. We stopped at an area and decided to walk some of the nature trails. Along the way the subject of being nude/naked came up -- you have to understand that even though Rob and I were just getting to know each other, from the first time I looked into his eyes I knew I had discovered not just a kindred spirit -- but, my soul mate...as such, it seemed from the very first we could talk about anything. Anyway! I told him that I enjoyed being without clothes, but growing up in a family of boys, and very conservative family that usually time alone in my room or when nobody was home (a rare occasion) was the only time I got to be naked. He grinned as we came up on a rest stop and said, "Every been naked outdoors?" I blushed and shook my head no -- he pointed to a rather primitive restroom that we had just come up on and said, "No time like the present." We had been carrying some snacks in a plastic grocery bag and he handed it to me and said, "Be daring, go in and take off your clothes, put them in this bag and come outside -- I'll make sure it's safe." It was the craziest thing anyone ever suggested to me. But, I looked into his eyes and immediately said, "OK." Shaking with excitement (and fear) I went in the restroom -- and closed the door -- a sky light provided the only light in the small stall. Deciding I must either do it, or chicken out I quickly slipped out of my pants, top, bra, undies and placed them in the bag. Then walking out wearing only my flip-flops I hesitantly opened the door. Rob was standing there smiling. He had seen me naked only a couple of other times and never in broad open daylight -- I had never even seen myself outside in broad open daylight!" Then he said, "Just a couple of more things." He pulled a small zip lock bag from his pocket -- Rob is the perfect Boy Scout, he's always prepared." "Take off your earrings." This caught me by surprise, but I did. "Now the chain on your neck." (It is a small gold rope.) Again, now just trusting and staring into his eyes -- I did. "Your watch." I did. "Rings" Deep breath -- I did as I took off an item he put them carefully into the zip lock. "Ankle bracelet." I guess at this point I didn't realize I had on more articles of jewelry than I did clothing. Off it came -- into the bag it went. "Toe ring." So, that was it -- there I stood, wearing nothing on my body and only a thin pair of flip flops on my bare feet. He took the grocery bag, put the jewelry bag in his pocket and said, "Let's go for a walk." My heart skipped a beat as my hand slipped into his and we started down a heavily wooded sand trail. Then he stopped and said, "Let me have the flip flops too." As I slipped them off and my now completely bare feet stepped onto the soft warm sand a feeling of electricity came over me that is almost impossible to describe! I have never felt so energized, so alive, so in touch with all that is around me as I realized for the first time in years, and years I was truly in my birthday suit. (Normally, I even sleep and shower with my ankle bracelet and the gold chain on my neck.) But, here I was in the "great outdoors," truly in a 100% natural state! It was a rush that I never experienced before -- but, have enjoyed many times since then :) -- and now, when I say, "I'm naked," it is truly birthday suit, totally, completely nude! Rob and I have had many adventures over the past few years; and still ever time I look at those eyes, I know that I will do anything he asks -- and I know he will keep always keep me safe. He is now, and will always be, THE love of my life. Jenn 143/2
