My first time skinny dipping
I've never told this story before. There has never been a person or audience I felt comfortable telling.
Years ago, I was at a company party. We were at a town pond that had a pavillion for parties and a beach area. Usually parties have to clear out by 8pm, be alcohol free, and no bon fires. Well, we had plenty of alcohol, a huge bon fire and I was there by myself at midnight doing some clean up as the fire died down enough that I could safely leave it for the night. A police officer swing by to make sure I was all set and told me if there were any problems to call 911 since they were short handed and nobody was going to be patrolling the area.
As I watched his taillights disappear, I decided to take a walk down to the water. It looked so peaceful and like glass with the full moon. I had never thought of it before but then and there I decided I wanted to skinny dip. On the beach, I stripped off my clothes. I ran into the water. I felt so vulnerable that I crouched down so only my head was above water. After the initial thoughts that I would be caught left my head, I started to relax. I floated out to deeper water. I swam a few yards and felt the water move across my body as it's never done before. I felt so liberated for the first time. I spent an hour swimming back and forth each time moving a little farther from my clothes until I found myself at the other end of the beach. I was about as far away from the party area as you could get.
A new idea popped into my head - let's walk back to my clothes nude instead of swimming. I had never been outside nude before this night and felt odd. I quickly made my way back to my clothes. When I got there, I just stared at them. I looked back at where I got out of the water and realized I didn't enjoy my walk. So I retraced my steps. I walked the entire distance of the beach and back just to take in the sights, the sounds, and the new sensations of the breeze and things not being constricted.
The second time I reached my clothes, I didn't want to put them on. I knew I needed to check on the fire but I also didn't want to be dressed. I picked them up and took the most casual stroll across a playground and basketball court that I've ever took. I got to the bon fire and it was pretty well burned down. I was satisfied it was safe and decided to go home. I turned toward the parking lot that was quite a distance away and began another naked walk in the moon light. It was a 10 minute walk that felt like an hour because I was so relaxed. I threw my clothes in the back seat and as I grabbed the door handle, I decided I better check the fire 1 last time just to be safe. Once again, I strolled back to the bon fire and it was only glowing coals. Then I figured I should check the beach again to make sure nobody left anything behind. Across the playground and basketball court again. Arrived at the beach and figured another swim wouldn't hurt since the car was close to the other end. Back into the water I went.
Finally, I got in my car to leave. It was almost 5 am and I had been nude for 5 hours. I played out in my head how I could get into my home without being seen nude. Even if I passed a car, I would only appear to be topless. I went for it. Got to the end of the driveway when I saw some headlights approaching. I waited for them to pass but they slowed down and pulled in next to me. It was the police officer from earlier. He was returning to check on the fire. I couldn't believe my luck. I got out just in time to not be seen but he unknowingly stopped me in the driveway. I told him the fire was out and I dozed off watching it. He joked about giving me a roadside test. I had to have turned pale but he laughed and told me to head home.
Best. Night. Ever
Steve, that is a Wonderful story and thanks for finally telling it! I know exactly how a nervous first skinnydip gradually becomes a bolder and bolder experiment with nudity. I am so glad that you had a safe, good experience that first time. Especially since you had a pretty close contact with the police. Cool.
