Bruce and Darlene invited the Lees over for dinner and since nothing was said about swimming they came dressed in shorts and T-shirts. Cora was right; before even thinking about dinner, Darlene was the one to bring up the subject, “We would like to share with you what we experienced yesterday. Because it was so hot, the three of us swam in the nude, and it was fun and relaxing.” There was a short pause and the Lees said nothing about getting a glimpse of them diving in the nude. Darlene continued, “So here’s the deal, we’d like the three of you, our very best friends, to join us on this very warm, beautiful afternoon in some skinny dipping. What do you say?” “I’m all for it,” Cora said and then made eye contact with Anthony and then Claudia who both shrugged their shoulders and responded in the affirmative. “Wonderful!” Darlene exclaimed and then addressed Cora, “We don’t want to make a strip tease out of this so Bruce and I will go into our bedroom to undress, Kathleen and Claudia can go into one of the other bedrooms, and you and Anthony can undress right her and we’ll all meet at the patio.” There was a certain degree of wisdom in Darlene’s suggestion; a “strip tease” is meant to be sexually arousing and seeing a member of the opposite sex in his or her underwear can be more stimulating than viewing a naked body. The invitation to swim in the nude had no sexual implications at that point. Anthony and Cora were already in the water when Claudia and Kathleen showed up at the edge of the pool followed by Bruce and Darlene. The six of them had so much fun swimming, diving and tossing around the beach ball and enjoying their nudity that all other problems and cares seemed to vanish. After they had all swum, dived and played until nearly exhausted, Darlene suggested that it was time to have the dinner that their guests had originally been promised. She and her daughter prepared and served cold hoagie-style sandwiches and salads that were very fitting for dinging outdoors on the patio. Both families were so comfortable dining the nude that nobody made any suggestion about getting dressed. After dinner, Kathleen tuned in on the radio a classic rock station with the music playing on the outdoor speakers of the patio. Claudia got excited to hear one of her favorite upbeat oldies and since there was a shortage of men she asked Kathleen to dance. It was one of those songs that seemed to bridge the generation gap and Anthony was pleased to comply and danced with his wife. Cora was amused to see her husband’s male member swinging around to the rhythm of the rock music. When another song began, Bruce stood up to take Darlene by the hand for a dance. The next song was a beautiful, slow waltz which was one of Anthony’s favorites and after a twill or two, he and Bruce switched partners. Their nudity was not meant to have any sexual implications. The evening ended on a positive note with the understanding that during the upcoming scorching summer months, skinny dipping could be a frequent pastime.
