Folks, you missed my point. The other people at the beach were perfectly comfortable with everyone there. It was our OWN friends who ogled us and made us uncomfortable. It certainly changed the relationship dynamic that we shared prior to that.
Us three couples have been very close; very, very close, but not in that way. Sure we teased about swinging and stuff, but we are a tame lot. We were over at each others house all the time, watch football, play cards, go out, etc. We've had shared vacations together. We're almost like family.
But the nude beach was a one time diversion that sounded like a good idea at the time. Amazing how clothes, or lack thereof, can change a relationship. The men basically wanted to see my wife naked. I, on the other hand, was curious but had no aching desire to see the other women in the buff. We had been at the beach and each others swimming pools before, so we kind of knew what our body types looked like.
Being naked in front of each other was eye-opening, if you will. My wife and I felt like we were on display. There's no hiding her assets and impossible to disguise mine. Given the fact that junior decided to go into service when I caight a glimpse of the girl, well, my wife thought I was showing off. She understands now that I wasn't.
Anyway, it was a bust and it was our own fault. Maybe if my wife and I went alone, but I don't think I'll ever get her back there again.
