NUDE NOT LEWD

It's 9:45 on a weekday morning and I've only just now put on a t-shirt and boxers. Other than a short walk with my dogs I've been essentially naked since last night around 6pm. Why? 

To try it out. 

I know I enjoyed a full two days of nudity last August, so this was a second attempt to see if it's the nudity I enjoy or if it's the "being naughty," to use an immature term. And honestly, it's probably a bit of both.

Since getting into better and better shape I'm even less inhibited about being nude, mainly because I'm less embarrassed by my physical condition. 

Been there, done that

(I pretty much knew this would happen given the fact that the last time I was in really good shape I was naked a disproportionate amount of the time.)

Not only am I continuing to lose weight - down 24 pounds since January 1 - but my morning exercise routine is up to 40 minutes. I'm in the weird transition between having really nice muscle tone covered in a layer of stubborn body fat. I'm blessed with pretty good muscle memory, even going back thirty years. 

It's a real pleasure being able to feel muscles again as I exercise, particularly my abdominals (even though they're hiding beneath some of the most stubborn fat).

Another of my morning practices is reading several different forums on health and sexuality. Comparing notes on strangers' experiences with sex, nudity and body acceptance. Some I just read, while on others I periodically post a note.

One forum I read is dedicated to the practice of CFNM (Clothed Female Naked Male). It's interesting to read and the thoughts of the other participants are generally good ones. I've been the NM in CFNM many times over the years, so it's an interesting topic for me. I find it invigorating without being sexual.

Recently a question came up about "scenarios." In other words, what are the "best" scenarios for men to be freely nude around women?

(Quick aside: professional porn CFNM is *not* what the CFNM website is about. If the purpose of CFNM porn is to get the man to cum it's pretty much your standard classical porn, which focuses on cumshots not the pleasure of the situation. The site I read is much more about empowerment, eroticism and fairness, not ejaculation.)

In considering my own reply to the question I realized that I'm fondest of those conditions where the man's nudity is simply there and it's not the focus of attention. The women aren't trying to get the man erect, they aren't belittling him for some reason, they're not dominating him, or any other of the traditional pornographic CFNM scenarios. I appreciate it when a man is nude on a beach and his significant other is wearing clothes, for example. Or a guy at a party is walking around nude while the rest of the partygoers are dressed (a result of alcohol in most cases). Getting a massage, casually draped or not at all.

For me a number of those scenarios are familiar. I've posed in front of art classes, as well as for artists when it was just one-on-one. I previously described a CFNM situation at my bachelor party when my old fuck buddy crashed the party and we ended up having a decent conversation in the kitchen as she wore a swimsuit and I was nude (we'd just been in the jacuzzi with four other guys). Or nude in the jacuzzi, and pool for that matter, with other people either themselves naked or wearing a swimsuit. And definitely massage and bodywork.

Once upon a time...

I've also been the drunk naked guy at a few parties (nothing in the last nearly forty years, I hasten to add). And was a nude bartender at at least four bachelorette parties in college.

(The first two didn't start out that way but evolved as the night went on and the girls got drunker. The latter two were arranged from the beginning.)

I admit, my experiences have toned down a lot in the years since. But I still get the rare opportunity these days, and enjoy them.

So, in considering the question of the most enjoyable scenario, I posted my own experience of just the day before when I'd been out by the pool getting some sun.

I walked in the house to find my wife sitting in a chair in the bedroom, examining her foot. I asked what she was doing and she said she'd stepped on something and was worried she was bleeding. She asked me to check it out, which I did. I held her foot up and examined the bottom. There was definitely a small chunk taken out of her heel. No blood, but it looked uncomfortable.

I put her foot down, went over to the dresser and got out a bandaid, which unfortunately was difficult for me to open - for some reason I couldn't get a good grip on the little flap to open the paper wrapping. After trying several times I gave it to her to open - she has nails, I don't. 

She immediately opened it, and the bandaid went on her heel. I stood up and we talked for a couple of minutes regarding some things going on around the house. At no point did either of us mention that I was still naked from being outside, and neither of us seemed to have any discomfort with it, and neither of us rushing to move on.

Sure she's seen me nude many, many times...she's my wife. But in much the same way being nude with my friend last August was such a refreshing and pleasant experience, this was innocent and enjoyable. I ended up heading to the shower as she resumed putting her makeup on, and we continued to talk through the glass door as I bathed. 

For me, that's a simple pleasure. 

YMMV
