I don't think I'm an exhibitionist, exactly...I've never gone nude in public outside of clothes-optional resorts, and never felt tempted to. I think I would be mortified to be naked when everyone else around me is dressed. (Of course, that embarrassment might be exciting, but I still don't want to expose myself in places where people haven't consented to see nudity.)
But ever since my early teen years, I remember wanting to get out of my clothes and just feel the openness. As I mentioned in another thread, on campouts (between the ages of 13 and 15), I would sneak away from the other Scouts, find a secluded place where I was pretty sure no one else would find me, and then take off everything. I just loved the feeling.
I think my favorite part was just lying naked in the grass, looking up at the sky, feeling completely at peace.
There was also a kind of thrill at the risk of being discovered, anyway...that made it exciting in another way. But I never tried to make that happen. On one occasion, while naked, I spotted hikers from my troop on the other side of the lake, and a couple of them stopped, looking my way...they seemed to see me. I was in tall grass, and at a considerable distance from them, but I think my bare chest, shoulders and face showed.
Later on, back at the camp, one of them asked, "Was that you on the far side of the lake? You weren't moving, but I was pretty sure it was you."
I told him it was, that I'd suddenly needed a pit stop. He nodded as though he wasn't going to ask any more questions, but I don't think he believed me, and I'm pretty sure that from across the lake he'd noticed I wasn't wearing a shirt. It was OK, though, because this particular guy was a couple of years older, and kind of a big brother to me...in our tent at nights on campouts, we'd fallen into a pattern where I'd ask him questions about sex and what it was like to be with a girl. He told me a lot of things about what the girls he'd been with liked doing, how to tell if a girl wanted you to go farther, what it was like when they got wet, and so on.
After it sounded like he'd dozed off, I'd sometimes take off my pants in my sleeping bag, and masturbate and come into a sock, thinking about the things he'd told me. I think he probably knew about that, too, but he kept my trust and never embarrassed me about anything. So anyway, I think he knew I was naked out there, but my secret was safe.
At other times during those years, I'd sneak out of my house (we lived out in the country) after everyone else was asleep, take off my clothes and walk around our outer property, in the moonlight. I could see the lights of other houses off in the distance, but no one else was around. These years were at the height of the U.S.'s "streaking" craze, which had me curious, and though I wasn't going to do it in public, "practicing for streaking" was going to be my alibi if I ever got caught.
Sometimes, I would get up on the roof so I could lie there naked and feel the wind on my body, and look at the stars, sometimes seeing a plane go over far ahead...a funny feeling, since I knew there was absolutely nothing between me and any distant eyes on the plane, but that no one would ever see me. It all sure confused my dog, who would look up at the roof and wag his tail, wondering why I wasn't coming down to walk him. I gave up going to the roof after a couple of times, though, because I knew it was only a matter of time before my lightly sleeping Dad would hear the roof creaking, and then I'd have some major explaining to do.
One of those years, I also had a service project at my church on Saturday afternoons when there was hardly anyone else around. I had keys, and was tasked with cleaning out closets in their classrooms, checking for books that were more than 20 years old and stacking them in the hallways for disposal. I could close the door on each classroom while I was working in it, the windows were textured glass (not transparent), and I could hear the hallway door open a long way away if anyone else came into that part of the building.
So you guessed it... I would take off my shoes, pants and underwear and do the work bottomless. A couple of the rooms had mirrors in them, and those were my favorites.
I was ready to pull it all back on in an instant if I heard a door open from the stairs down the hall...never happened, though. I guess that in addition to enjoying the feeling of being (half-)naked, it was also that thrill once again of potentially being discovered and humiliated, but I know I would have scrambled like mad to get dressed again if I actually heard anyone on the way. I stopped doing it after a few times because I had a nightmare about the preacher catching me and reading me the riot act.
Many years later, I was staying at a four-star hotel with my lovely wife. She and I had earlier had intercourse several times on a dark beach outside our honeymoon cabin, with the lights of other settlements in the distance, but neither of us considered ourselves exhibitionists per se, as we didn't want to be observed. We just liked making love to each other outside.
But at the aforementioned hotel, later on, after having sweet, long, affectionate sex in our 12th-floor room, early in the evening, then showering together, we were in that darkened room, at the very top of the hotel, with moonlight and lights from the beach area as our only illumination. My wife, still naked, smiled at me and took my hand to go out to the balcony overlooking not the ocean side, but the busy side of the hotel.
I said, "You're kidding." She just shook her head and whispered, "Come on."
Once out there, at first, I couldn't make myself take off my towel. It was tremendously exciting to see my wife's naked body, the sweet swells of her breasts, her perfect nipples, her pale belly and beautiful thatch, palely illuminated from the lights of the parking lot, far below, as people down there talked, cars came and went, and life went on. My wife smiled again and said, "It feels good, and they can't see us."
She put her hand on the top of my towel, asked the question with her eyes, and when I swallowed hard and nodded, she opened my towel and let it drop.
It was very exciting to be standing there with her, both of us completely naked, watching fully dressed people down there on the sidewalks and in the parking lot, talking and laughing, protected only by darkness. 12 stories sounds like a lot, but the people down there seemed very close, to me. I was still pretty sure that if anyone actually looked up directly at us, they would see us both...but there was that thrill of the risk again, and the fun of being nude.
So there's one of my kinks...I like being naked in places where people aren't ordinarily naked. But mostly, I don't want other people to see me there.
Have you ever gone naked somewhere you weren't supposed to, and didn't really want to get caught...just to enjoy the feeling, and perhaps the savor of the risk of being caught?
