A group for exchanging views on 'what to do' when you just got caught by your neighbour nude in your own backyard.
Horse Trial
Return to DiscussionsEarly in the summer, I decided to get away from work on a half day and go for a walk to enjoy the sunshine. I chose a place called Broad Chalk, just south of Salisbury UK. On starting out I realized it was a weekday so there would be very few people about apart from the odd busy farmer. This I felt made it safe enough to strip off and walk naked, feeling the breeze between my legs and sun warming me all over. It was delicious and sensual, I entered a wood and picked the smaller trails to maintain my solitude and was rewarded with deer and sun dappled clearings. It felt so good. I spotted a larger clearing with a convenient fallen tree, so I gingerly made my way past the large nettles, one though stung me on my penis and scrotum, no big deal but it does get your attention. I made it to the tree and placed my clothing like a towel on a sunbed and assumed the position, laying on my back, in the sun in a beautiful, wooded clearing. Insects buzzing, but not annoying me too much by landing on me. The stings were smarting a little but all in all it was lovely. The next thing I was aware of was a snorting sound, warm moist animal breath on my face. My eyes shot open and I had a close up view of a horses nostril. Then a young ladies voice asking if I was ok. I then realized I was naked on my back, not only that but I had a very firm erection going on due to the sun and stings on my genitals. I threw myself off the log to dress, grabbing the shorts that I had lay on but were refusing to leave the tree as they caught on every possible twig. I could hear the young lady but I did not register the words in my panic. Having freed my shorts. I was now hopping up and down trying to get my trainer clad foot past the netting liner. This made things worse really as my erection flopped around and I started profusely apologizing as I struggled. I heard clearly at last the young lady, sat high up in her white jodhpurs, riding boots and T shirt. "It really is OK, I really do not mind. I was just checking you were ok" I stopped struggling with my shorts, leaving them wrapped around my left foot and looked up to see her half smiling and laughing. I was cherry red from sun burn with a twitching erection, a host of insect bites and I had to laugh. I made a more intelligible apology, saying I thought I was alone and that (I gestured at my penis) should not be happening. I received a lovely laugh from both her and I am sure the horse too as she tapped her heels and had the horse walk on. She turned and looked over her shoulder, "you look very burnt, enjoy your day". I looked down and she was so right, I was scarlet, even my penis head was burnt, or it was the nettle sting. I did though walk the 3 miles back to my car carrying my clothes. The worst had happened and all was well if I could ignore the stings, bites and sun burn. My relief at my nakedness not to mention arousal being so calmly accepted was immense and liberating, it could of gone so very differently.
I just cringed when you mentioned nettles. I have them on the edges of my property and do everything i can to avoid them. I would rather brush against poison ivy which if you scrub off with a degreaser ( like something you would use to get engine oil off) you avoid getting a rash. Unlike nettles which is an instant itch as the 1000s of tiny barbs dig in.
I love the young woman's reaction. She obviously knew your were no threat to her. She was towering over you and able to ride off.
I hope your pains have gone away by now.
It was a few years ago now, so only a distant memory. Oddly, the nettle sting on my scrotum was the one which was uncomfortable, the one on my glans was actually rather nice after the initial sting Hard to explain but it gave a pleasant feeling.
Bravo Steve, very well written and conveyed, down to the awkwardness of trying to get shorts on while wearing shoes and an erection - and a sunburn! She a picture of poise and grace and you - not so much. It is telling that in this encounter the acceptance of your nudity and full erection came from her and not from you. As men, we are programmed constantly to be ashamed of our nude bodies in general, and our erections in particular. While obviously we should observe standards of commonly accepted decency and privacy - that does not mean that we should internalize shame and embarrassment if we without any intention or planning end up naked and erect in front of others.
There is no shame in being hard, in fact it is a rather amazing process that happens in both mens and womens bodies (much less visibly in women) and should be a source of inspiration and delight as a life-affirming and joyful experience. I have to admit I struggle with this myself still after all these years, based on the teachings of shame I was provided as a child around this. Which means I still completely recognize and have to cringe and laugh painfully at the total awkwardness and sense of near-panic you experienced - simply for someone seeing you as you really are, the real you, in the body you are blessed to have received from Mother Nature. She recognized there was really no need for shame in that situation and I salute her for it. Maybe we should listen to her more. And maybe she was Mother Nature herself, more concerned about one of her creations sunburn than an accidental display of its natural functions
Thank you, my lasting impression of the whole thing is the relief, I was so immensely relieved the young lady chose not to take the offended route, instead she chose to see the humour in the situation, which whilst exceedingly embarrassing was the best possible outcome for me and I hope for her and even the horse.
I still walk naked from time to time, nowadays it is in the safer environment for nudists of Spain, normally in a national park as nudity in public land is completely legal since 1978.
