Independence Day weekend

What am I doing? I should be telling you about the weekend trip I took!

For the past 8 years or so, ever since I went off to college, I've lived about 6 hours from my hometown. I decided that this past weekend, since my dad was not home for a couple weeks, it would be a great time to bring some of my friends home for a roadtrip—we'd have the whole house to ourselves!

As it turns out, though, my younger brother (he's 22, I'm 25) had the exact same plan. So, we had 10 people in the house—my brother, 3 of his friends, me, and 5 of mine.

Late Saturday night, after we'd finished shooting off fireworks, we decided to go swimming. Two of my brother's friends decided to throw each other into the pool fully clothed, even though they had bathing suits. The third friend, Bart (it's tough coming up with pseudonyms, deal with it) jumped in wearing an undershirt and underwear. Then, to our amazement, he took off the shirt and underwear.

Will was with us on the trip, and he was shocked that this straight guy was naked. Will is a very outgoing gay guy—not necessarily flamboyant, but definitely prone to making lewd comments and stuff. When Bart ran into the house to grab some liquor, still naked, Will followed him in to have a look. Par for the course... although I was actually surprised that Will wasn't stripping down himself or being more overtly sexual.

Eventually we got out of the pool, 'cause the water was cold! and people were tired of shivering. Once inside, one of Bart's friends remarked that he was now naked under his towel, the same as Bart, and so they decided, what the hell, let's go skinny dipping together. With the rest of my friends out of sight, I didn't feel the need to be so modest, so I tagged along. We were only in for a couple more minutes—just for the heck of it—but it was nice. I'd forgotten how much nicer it is to swim naked.

Bart felt like showing off some more, and spent the rest of the evening wearing just a towel. We were in the garage smoking hookah (the only way I'll smoke anything). Every time Bart got up to do something, his towel ended up misadjusted (not intentionally), and half the time we got a nice view out of it. He didn't really mind that two gay guys were watching him... I think he was just doing it for the attention, though. Still, I wished so badly that we could have goaded him into doing more than just flashing people occasionally. The circumstances just weren't right for it, though.

For our part, Will and I were trying not to stare at him too obviously, but apparently we're not good at that. :-) Will would call me on it and immediately turn and do it himself, without realizing he was doing it. It was something of a bonding experience for us.

  1. There's a lot to be said for nonsexual nudity, which is what you guys had, sort of.

    I only realized it was possible recently, so I never got to enjoy experiences like that.
