Forgive me, this turned out to be a longer post than expected.
This last weekend I had a fantastic experience with a guy I've known for more than thirty years. Our friendship, which was once quite close, involved regular nudity when he and his wife came over for an evening - he and I would hit the spa and/or pool while the women usually sat inside and let us do our thing. It isn't anything sexual, it was two boys being boys. During difficult times we were always there for each other, and just enjoyed each others' company. It was the sort of friendship where his wife and he vacationed a few times with us and we all had a great time.
But around five years ago things chilled. A combination of politics, religion and other things led to a definite distancing. Arguments and some ugliness. Then COVID didn't help. We tried a couple of times to put it behind us, but our bond was definitely damaged.
Cut to a month ago when his wife and he were visiting. They live around 45 minutes away by car, so we get together maybe five or six times a year, though for the last few years maybe only a couple. He and I were in the pool - swimsuits securely in place - when he found out my wife was going to be out of town for a few days and I jokingly told him I was planning my own "spa day" while she was gone. He suggested he might want to ride his bike over - he's seriously into riding long distances on his bike - and spend the afternoon "having a spa day." It surprised me but I told him he was absolutely welcome, but to be aware I wouldn't be swimming in swimsuit. Nothing more was said other than my mentioning it to him once on a text about a week later.
I figured he would back out and on Friday I took my wife to the airport and headed back home. Around three in the afternoon I got a call from him - he'd overdone a workout the day before and couldn't ride his bike this far, but would still love to come over if I was okay with it. Surprised, I enthusiastically said yes.
A few hours later he got to the house. I was wearing just a robe - I'd already been in the pool for a while - so I grabbed us a couple of drinks, and we sat outside for a while and talked, catching up. Around five minutes into the conversation he suddenly stood up and started to undress, getting down to a tiny pair of tight black briefs and sitting back down as if this was perfectly natural. Which it was, five or more years ago.
After we finished the drinks he told me to go back to "doing whatever you were doing before I got here." He obviously knew I was in the pool, so I suggested we go in. He stood up, dropped the briefs and headed for the pool naked - again, for the first time in more than five years. He's a handsome, athletic guy, and even at 60 looks terrific in the nude.
And for the next eight or so hours we played in the pool, got out to sun ourselves (got caught by my pool guy), sat in the spa, ate dinner naked, watched some tv, and basically caught up. The only time we dressed was when I had to take my dogs out for a walk.
He ended up staying the night (in another room, of course), and the next morning we piled back into the spa for morning coffee.
Again, nothing overtly sexual, just two guys being guys and enjoying the company. And I have my (second) best friend back after a long absence. (My wife is my best friend, as much as some of you might roll your eyes.) He finally said he had to go, but I stayed naked the entire time as he dressed, packed up his stuff and ate a little breakfast. Then he gave me a big bear hug (yeah, a little CMNM action), and we both agreed it was really cool to "be back."
Just wanted to share, since this is the "My Best Friend and I" thread.
