We were there for one of the final weeks, which we will provide a more detailed trip report soon.  In the meantime, here is a great article about the resort for all those who never got a chance to experience it and all of us who will dearly miss it.

8/3 Late nights were catching up with us and T didn’t feel so great from previous days activities.    Slept in and then hung out at the pool and played a little volleyball.  Pool was really crowded and a few players were not so great, so we pissed a lot of people off by knocking over drinks and hitting innocent by-standers.  Game ended a lot sooner than usual, in part to most of the crowd leaving for the AWOL Social at the Scotch Bonnett.  Had dinner again at Pastafari.  Food was not as good as we had hoped, but company was great.  The best thing about a Hedo vacation is that you meet and get to know so many great people.  Never been on another vacation where you go to dinner and enjoy the company of so many that you didn’t know before you got here.  Theme night was Pirate night.  We didn’t dress up, but many did.  Hung out with great friends outside for most of the evening.

8/4 – Typical day in paradise – slept in, made our way to the pool for lunch (John is such a perfectionist and his Chicken nachos are the best!) Moved the volleyball game to the Quad and I spent a little too long playing (T was not too happy with me).  After the game it was time to get ready for the Naughty Gift Exchange.

Gift Exchange was really fun.  Lots of unique and fun toys were available.  We almost had two very nice gifts, but each was stolen.  Ended up with a remote control egg, but it never worked very well.  After the gift exchange we went back to get ready for dinner and the pajama party.  Dinner was at Pastafari again and still not all that great, but company more than made up for it.  Piano bar and disco were a lot of fun with everyone in costume.  Ended up staying at the pool until the wee hours again.

8/5 – Nude Cruise Day for AWOL.  We joined many other AWOlrs for the trip to Ocho Rios and the Nude Cruise.  Before we even got moving everyone was stripping down – hard to wear bathing suits when you have gotten use to being naked!  Trip was a lot of fun, with many getting really crazy.  Would love to say more, but you have to be there yourself!  What happens on the boat stays on the boat!

That night was Naughty School Girl Night, which was alot of fun.  Girls really had great costumes and T was Smoking Hot in hers.  She is not big into dressing up, but really looked great and I think she enjoyed the attention as well.

My Naughty School Girl

8/6 – Took a while to get going after the night before – sucks getting old!  Took it easy by the pool just hanging out with friends.  That evening was the talent show – G stole the show, along with her fill in boyfriend (Many are still not sure the real one exists!)- would love to post some pictures, but she asked not to post any that were too incriminating, which didn’t leave any options.  Later that night was TOGA night.  This is the highlight theme of the week.  T was smoking again in a borrowed Toga – Big Thank You to K for letting her use one of yours!  We almost didn’t make it out of the room!  Sorry – she want let me post any of those pictures either!

8/7 – Sad day, as it is time to pack and go home.  This was by far our best trip yet.  Felt comfortable all week with a great bunch of partyers.  AWOL is an awesome group.  Big Thank Yous to R & I, N8 K and B & E for making us feel such a part.

AWOL is here!

So cool to have so many of the friends you have made during the week come and give you hugs (even shed a few tears) and then give you a proper HEDO farewell!

Hedo Farewell

Hope to see you all soon – AWOL 2010 – Jul 31 – Aug 7, 2010.

A few final thoughts:

Food – better than expected- buffet was better than some of the restaurants.

Pool – Overall kept pretty clean – our room overlooked the nude pool and I did see that the Hot Tub was drained and cleaned.

Bar Service – What you come to expect – come soon Mon.  Do wish they had more beer choices than Red Stripe.

People – the absolute best.  It is what makes this such a great place to go and why we will be doing our best to go back with this group in 2010.

With the planning for this year’s trip well under way, it has inspired me to get this done.

Jamaica Trip Report  – Part 1:- July 30 – Aug 4, 2009

We planned our annual trip so that we would be able to join the AWOL group.  They seemed like a great party group and did not disappoint.  By far our best trip.

Find out how to join them (and hopefully us) this year at www.awolinhedo.com.

7/30 – Stressful start to the trip.  Flight from Greenville to ATL was delayed 45 min and only had a 1 hour layover to start with.  Arrived in ATL 10 min before scheduled departure so ran to make it for the fligh to Mobay.  We got to the gate just in time.  Plane pulled away a few minutes after we got on and then sat on the ramp for an hour before even getting into line for takeoff.  Arrived in Mobay an hour late, but no worries.  Spent about 20 minutes in the Superclubs reception area before boarding a bus for HIII.  Grabbed a beer and margarita before jumping on bus.  Everyone else decided that was a good idea, so they got off to do the same.

Made a beer stop about half way there.  Large ganja tree was growing just outside the bathroom – only in Jamaica!

Ganga at the rest stop

When we arrived we were greeted by R & I and B & E of AWOL.  Not really knowing what to expect because of this being our first time with a group we thought it was great that they were waiting for our arrival.  They were slightly disappointed that N & K were not on the bus with us, but they showed up soon after.

Our first night was a toga night, but since we had not had a chance to meet many people, we decided to skip the togas.  Spent some time at the pool until nearly 3:00 in the morning.  We realized that we had been awake for nearly 24 hours so we decided it was time for bed.  We had hoped to meet some of Cocktails International, but after the initial welcome we definitely felt a part of AWOL.

7/31 – Friday was spent lounging around the pool and welcoming other AWOL’rs.    Theme night was naughty school girl for CI, but we still had not met many from the CI group.  Spent a little time at the piano bar and then decided to call it an early night to catch up on the previous day.

8/1 – After a good night’s sleep, we made our way to the pool.  Met many other AWOL’rs, inlcuding T & F.  Had a fun game of volleyball and just hanging out in the pool.  T and F invited us to dinner at Munasan, along with L & A.  Dinner was good, but a little salty.  Don’t know that you should expect great Japanese food in Jamaica.  T was smoking hot in her black and silver dress.  All went to the piano bar and disco before heading to the pool.

8/2 – Sunday was another great day hanging at the pool, playing a little volleyball and getting to know more AWOLrs.  Had dinner with T & F, C & P, and L & A.  Food was good but not great.  Piano Bar, Disco and late night at the pool again were great.Spent a little time in the piano bar, got see the assortment of Pimps and Hos.

The one thing we will take away from this trip is that AWOL is a great and unique group to be associated with.  They are a very large and diverse group, but everyone makes you feel welcome and a part.  We hope to be a part of the group again next year.

Part 2 – August 3 – 7 coming soon (hopefully)

Posted with permission of J & L.

Ok…this is a trip review from a first time Desire couple. I will be as honest as I can.

First off, the trip was spectacular. We would go back in a heartbeat and would recommend all loving couples to do the same. My wife and I had probably the most romantic and most erotic time of our entire life. We have never been to a clothing optional resort NOR are we swingers…although we were and are open to new experiences with others should they naturally occur.

Desire is for ALL couples. This means swingers and non-swingers alike. If you are a non-swinger you don’t need to be in the areas where swinging takes place. That being said we did see one couple and it appeared like the wife was not really into the “Desire” experience. The guy was seen roaming around by himself and watching others a few times. Advice to couples: make sure you are both on board for the experience before you book Desire.

This was our very first trip and we really did not know what to expect. I now think we have a good idea. Keep in mind that we did not have a swinger takeover group during our stay so things might be different at those times. Desire is a great place if you just want to re-kindle the romance in your life or if you want to experiment a little by having sex in public or even go a little further by meeting new friends and enjoying their company – sexual and otherwise. It’s all good and it’s all perfectly acceptable. For us it was easily the most romantic AND the most erotic vacation we have ever taken.

I would equate Desire with the word “freedom”. It’s a very liberating feeling just to shed your clothing and be naked for a week. It was great spending the day at the ocean in a beach bed, swimming in the ocean or walking the beach totally naked. Or later at night heading up to the Jacuzzi bar for a drink and making love in the nearby Jacuzzi beds….often with dozens of couples nearby or other couples making love a few feet away in the next bed. It’s an almost indescribable experience.

The best way to describe Desire on a “play” scale is imagine a scale from one to ten. (This may differ if there is a “takeover” group at the resort). This is based on the couples we met and our conversations with them.

1-Couples at Desire for just themselves – no swinging (20% of the people)
2
3-Couples at Desire just for themselves but love to watch others and be watched having sex (20%)
4
5-Couples at Desire for themselves but willing to swing if the right opportunity came along (30%)
6
7-Couples at Desire definitely looking to swing with other couples as soon as possible and often (20%)
8
9
10-Couples at Desire looking for full blown orgy sex every single night (10%)

The attitude is very laid back and all guests were very accepting and cool. If it is your desire to mix and meet with others the Jacuzzi Bar is the place. People gather at the Jacuzzi at around 6:30 or 7 PM and go for couple of hours. Appearance is across the entire spectrum. Ages from late 20′s to over 70, but the vast majority 40 to 55 or so. A small few that could stand to lose a few pounds…or maybe a lot. Everyone seemed to be accepted by all. There is a ton of eye candy for both men and women – that being great looking well hung guys and hot women – all naked. It is a very, very cool scene.

You can choose to meet and hook up with others or choose not to…it’s all cool. You can choose to have sex in public or watch others in the playroom or the Jacuzzi beds – very hot.

If you feel that it might be “over the top” then, like I said, you can just avoid the places that may be too much like the play room in the Disco. The only time we felt it went over the top was just once at about 7 pm in the Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi was filled with about 30 people and this guy starting fucking his wife by the bar. It just seemed a little odd considering everyone else was just milling around and talking. That happened only once.

What seemed more natural and very erotic was just hanging out in the Jacuzzi and sitting there having a drink and chatting and you will see women caressing her guys cock like it was the most natural thing to do – naturally that led to lots of blowjobs. There were lots of those.

First the CONS (and my opinions):

1-Desire need to simply DROP the timeshare pitch upon arrival. Of the dozen couples we met only two accepted the pitch and they did so only to get the $100 spa credit. It’s a waste of time, an annoyance and not becoming of a classy resort. That being said it only took a few simple “No’s” from us and nothing more was made of it.

2-Desire should offer free in-room Wi-fi or internet access in the lobby. No excuse to charge for it at the rates we pay for the stay.

3-Desire needs to dump the cheaper liquor at the bars and just offer the premium stuff – and nothing else. A customer ought not to have to ask for “the good stuff”. The same applies to the extra charge for food like lobster. Get rid of it. Once again it cheapens the Desire name

4-Desire needs to train the bartenders – drinks were often inconsistent. The same drink would be made completely differently by different bartenders

5-Fans circulating air in the bar areas and seating areas in the lobby would be nice

6-A few couples, one in particular, appeared to be Mr. & Mrs. Social Butterfly which is Ok except that they liked to have very LOUD conversations out on the beach beds. The beach beds are for RELAXATION, reading books, napping, quiet conversations, listening to the ocean waves. It is NOT a time for loud 3 hour long social conversations. Very Annoying

7-The disco played the same mind-numbing disco techno/rap beats every night. You’d think that on “retro night” that retro music would be played. Not so. It would be nice to have an occasional SLOW love song so that everyone can dance to with their sweetheart. This may be why the disco clears out so fast after an hour or so.

8-At 60% occupancy we had no problem getting a beach bed or pool lounger – but I can definitely see it being an issue if the resort were any fuller.

9-Desire is getting close to pricing themselves out of the market – and it’s only because of no competition that they can keep the prices so high. They need to be sure to listen to their current customers on these issues.

The PROS:

A LOT of pros…I’ll just mention a few.

1-The food was surprisingly good and the service was excellent. I had lower expectations in this regard due to previous reports but overall it was very good. However, we do think that one would get bored with the menu selection after a week or so.

2-The beach beds were incredible (except for the rude couple mentioned above)

3-Swimming nude in the pool and the ocean was awesome.

4-Walking naked everynight from the disco at 1 AM to the Jacuzzi (then making love) was fun

5-Getting naked in the Playroom – wonderful experience

6-Walking along the beach totally naked – both in the daytime and at midnight under a full moon – incredibly romantic – magical

7-Slow Dancing with my lovely wife under the beach gazebo while it’s pouring rain – the most romantic moment of our life

8-The accommodations were very nice – small – but nice.

9-The Jacuzzi area was great. Easy to meet and make new friends and to witness or even participate in some highly charged play (blowjobs in the tub and lovemaking on the beds). It was all good.

10-Desire is a magical place – like Fantasy Island once you pass thru the sliding glass doors from the lobby. I half expected a little bird to land on my shoulder and say “you’re home!” Your very first sight is a clean lobby with beds – a lobby bar – and naked people!

11-Finally, the think that makes Desire what it is – the people. Never in my life have I met a group of people so open and loving and accepting. It was so easy to talk and make new friends. I cannot ever see this happening at another “normal” resort. Thanks to all of you who we met and who were so incredibly nice (J&S, J&K, G&J, R&A, J&T, L&J, D&J and on and on)

My wife and I had a great time. We did take one “off-campus” trip to see Claudia for massage. We took the opportunity while at Desire to rekindle our passion among ourselves as well as meet some new friends. We hope to be back next year.

************ ********* **

About Eyes Wide Shut Disco theme night:

First off, my wife and I thought it was a highly erotic and fun theme night. It really was a nice change of pace from the standard “dress down” theme nights….and it will be fun if you go in with the attitude to “go with the flow”. We don’t have any in-depth swing experience but we decided just to relax and have fun….come what may.

We bought along the “costumes” because we wanted to be involved because we heard that those that decide to participate in theme nights seemed to have more fun. I would have to agree with that assessment. What was a little surprising was I would guess that out of about 45 couples in the Disco that night…probably at least 30 dressed for theme night. The entertainment staff sets up a table at the lobby at about 10 or 10:30 PM with several dozen marti gra type masks and black cloaks. These are for those that did not bring theirs along. I was told that the resort was at about 60% capacity FYI.

Women wore masks and cloaks…many with a tiny “g” string or nude underneath.. .and that is it. Guys appeared to have on black boxers…although some were nude under the capes as well.

At about 11 PM or so the couples gather up in the Disco and dance or have a drink. Somewhere along 11:30 or so (it’s east to lose track of time) the big TV screen by the bat starts to show the sex scenes from the EWS movie with Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman. It wasn’t creepy at all (at least to us). After a minute of so of the video the Entertainment Coordinator (EC) – who is also dressed in a long black robe and mask – stands in the center of the raised oval dance floor, microphone in hand. He asks that all the women make a large circle and surround the dance floor. Some couples choose not to participate and stood further back near the seating area. I would guess that around 25 or so couples choose to form the circle. Guys were directed to stand behind their ladies.

The music went down and the EC stayed in his center position on the Dance floor and he began to very slowly rotate in a circle observing all the women who were standing in a large circle about ten feet in front of him. Every few seconds he would slowly raise his cloaked hand and point at someone (a woman). That woman would come up to the dance floor (but not on on the floor). Women clearly had the option to participate as several declined when he pointed at them. My wife was one of the ones selected (“and my heart began racing” she said). After the EC had selected around 10 women he directed then to step up on the dance floor forming a circle – facing inward. He then asked the guys (husbands) to stand directly behind their ladies and reach up and around and remove the cloaks.

It really was a highly charged and erotic sight..even some couples who did not participate said as much later. 10 Women, most nude and some in the thinnest of “G” strings so small they might as well been nude…. and just wearing sexy masks. Husbands are standing directly behind their lady. The EC directed the guys to reach around and caress the ladies breasts and kiss the ladies up and down their back. He then had the ladies turn around to face the guys and he directed the couples to kiss passionately (their spouse). He then directed the guys to kiss “further down” and to “caress and kiss the nipples”. You have to imagine the sight…

At this point (and it really goes fast)..the (the EC) asks all the couples to get on their knees (still facing each other) and the guys were directed to continue kissing “down” and “further”. The ladies were directed to lay back and let their man “kiss that very special spot”. So all the guys were giving the ladies oral sex for maybe 15 or 20 seconds…not long at all. He then asked every one to change positions and the guy laid back on the dance floor while the ladies gave blowjobs…. again for maybe 15 or 20 seconds only.

At this point the EC announces that he “has something very special for us”. The scene is 10 couples who were the “chosen” are sitting around the perimeter of the raised dance floor. All other couples who are still dressed in cloaks and masks are nearby and watching intently and silently. It was very easy to see that ALL the guys were excited…to say the least. Two very small, yet beautiful women from the resort…dressed in “G” strings make their way to the center of the dance floor (the EC is gone at this point). These two ladies do an incredibly erotic slow dance with each other. It was very hot. For a few minutes they are onstage dancing, hands and lips seem to be everywhere. There was NO overt sex going on between the dancers, but just a lot of slow hands moving up and down and body grinding and ass/breast rubbing/touching.

This went on for a few minutes and the ladies dancing on stage then slowly parted and walked in opposite directions to the edge of the stage where the couples were sitting. Each of the dancers picked a lady at the edge of the stage by just reaching out a hand to the lady. Once again this is totally optional as I think I saw two ladies declined by just nodding. They got two volunteer ladies up on stage and the two dancers each danced with the wives/girlfriends. It was, once again very erotic as all four bodies were slowly and seductively touching and fondling. I saw the two dancers then VERY gently guide the two volunteers to face each other and they (volunteers) began to dance and make out. The dancers gently guided the volunteers hands up and down the other woman’s bodies and it wasn’t long before the ladies were really getting into it.

Now the interesting part…at least for us. While the two ladies were dancing and making out on the dance floor the resort dancers then once again went to the perimeter of the stage and reached out their hands to two other women….one of which was my wife! They repeated the process by dancing with my wife and the other new woman. Now there were now six woman dancing very, very, very seductively on the dance floor. Keep in mind that nearly all are completely nude of very near it. The scene is dark and

The resort dancers brought the four dancing wives & girlfriends together in the center of the stage and once again they helped guide hands, asses, arms etc..so the all four women would closely interact. It was oh, so sensual. Then, kind of to my surprise but to everyone’s applause and enjoyment… the resort dancers gently guided all four women down to lay on the dance floor. I did not even notice it but at that point the resort dancers left the dance floor. All that was left were the women on the dance floor making out. Again, it was not overtly sexual – unless you consider kissing, breast fondling and breast kissing and lots of ass touching overt. The scene was hot…unlike any theme night. This floor gyrations went on for just a few minutes and then it was over. The whole thing from start to finish maybe went 8 to 12 minutes – very fast. I think most people would have liked to see the ladies on the floor go at it a bit more but that was not to
be….however, it seemed like a lot of the couples (including us) skipped the remaining disco dancing and went directly to the Playroom behind the bar and went at it.

We met a Mom with her son and daughter at Breezes and they also wanted to check out Hedo (really cool Mom!).  We told them a little about our first visit and decided to meet up with them later that evening at Hedo.  We had heard about the infamous “Toga Night” and knew we had to see what it was all about.  When we got there we were given a sheet and a few basic toga tying instructions so that we managed to get one on.  Everyone at dinner had on togas, many with little to nothing else.  It varied from the very basic (us) to the elaborate – those that had definately come prepared.  After dinner everyone headed to the disco.  Due to the predominance of the previously mentioned DBKS group, the music did not fit our taste and the room was really packed, so we spent the evening outside talking to others.  The highlight of the evening was a late night run on the water slide.  Many people, including myself and cool Mom, daughter and son stripped down completely and made several trips down.  The waterslide is just outside the disco, so even those that didn’t participate enjoyed the show.  Note – it is very important to keep certain areas raised as best you can off the slide itself!!

Another day and better part of evening was spent just hanging around the nude pool.  We met many really cool people.  We still keep in touch with one couple from California.  It is amazing how being naked creates an atmosphere of such openness and friendliness.  People actually talk to each other and generally all get along, no matter where they are from or what their “status” in life is.  It is very difficult to tell if someone is rich or poor when they are naked – and at Hedo no one cares!

One word of caution – at different times T & I both got really loopy.  Maybe it was combination of drinking all day, little food and hot sun, but we think we probably were slipped something.  Nothing bad happened, but had either of us been alone, or if it had happened to us at the same time it could have been a bad thing.

Many of you reading this are dying to know about the sex.  Is there really sex in the open – yes, but it is generally discreet, although a good blow job show does happen.  Are there orgies going on all around – maybe, but not out in the open, or at least not when we were there.  Late at night around the hot tub could be a different story, depending on the crowd.  I can definately say it was a very sexually charged atmosphere that led to T & I having a wonderful time together.  The short pier late at night is a great place to get away for a little while!

Everyone we met was really nice.  There were some discreet propositions, but a simple no worked just fine.  It was one of the best trips we have ever taken and hooked us on going to a similar resort each year.  We are going back to Hedo III at the end of July/first of August and really looking forward to staying at the resort.   We will be there at the same time as two other groups that we think will be a ton of fun – Cocktails and AWOL.

For more trip reports, some with more detail and some with less, we suggest you visit DennyP’s message boards.  This is the best place we have found for info.

Thanks for reading.  Hope you enjoyed it and found it entertaining and informative.  We will add more about our trips to Hedo II and Desire Cabo and teh upcoming Hedo III return in the near future.

Technorati Tags: Hedo, Hedonism III, Jamaica

For our 2006 week away, we decided to be a bit more adventurous.  We had heard of the Hedonism (Hedo) resorts and knew at least one person that had been, but were not sure we would fit in or really like staying there.  So we opted to book a stay at Breezes in Runaway Bay instead.  We chose Breezes because it is the only SuperClubs resort that included free day passes to Hedo III.

Leading up to the trip we were nervous and excited.  I did all kinds of online research, trying to get a feel for what the resort would really be like.  We read alot or trip reports, especially at DennyP and found several Yahoo groups.  Were people really going to have sex out in the open?  Would there be all out orgies everywhere?  Would people try to force us to have sex with others?  All kinds of thoughts ran through our minds, but we really did not know what to expect.

The time finally came and we headed to the airport.  On the plane to Jamaica we found ourselves looking around and guessing who else might be going to the same resort.  Upon arrival in Montego Bay we made it through customs and found the SuperClubs check-in.  We really started to notice others in the room and wondering who was going to which resort.

We got lucky on the transportation.  Instead of boarding a bus, they took us in a car, along with a single guy, to Breezes.  Ride was “exciting” as the Jamiacans don’t seem to pay much attention to when is a good time to pass or not and just assume the cars coming will move over enough to get by.  We were thankful to reach our destination and start checking out the resort.

Breezes was nice and fairly typical of your tropical resort.  The crowd was fairly young (20-40) and people seemed nice, but we didn’t get to know anyone very well.  There was a small nude beach at Breezes, which we tried out, but the resort next door was a family resort and kids would often come walking by and we did not like that at all.

The next day we decided to go see what this Hedo place was really like.  It was a short cab ride from Breezes to Hedo III and only cost $5.  The first thing we noticed getting out of the cab was a large banner that said “Welcome to Da Best Kept Secret (DBKS) Takeover Week”.  I had read online that this was a group of large women and their significant others.  I did not realize that they were predominantly black and nearly as large (both physical and in the numbers in the group) as they were.  It was a very interesting group of very (very very) large black women and their mostly skinny boyfriends/husbands.   They tended to takeover the Quad, which ended up being a good thing.

Because we did not have much in common with the group, we made our way to the Nude Pool.  The nude pool had a good crowd of everyday people.  Picture who you would typically see in the grocery store – just naked.  We had read that the clothes police would not let you stay in the nude pool area, unless you were nude, so I went ahead and stripped down and T went topless.

Before long they started a game of pool volleyball and I joined in.  I quickly was welcomed into the group and everyone had a great fun time with the volleyball game.  By the time it was over, T had gotten more comfortable and removed her bottoms as well.

After the game we found a spot at the pool bar and had a few drinks.  The biggest difference we immediately noticed is that everyone talked to each other.  We found ourselves getting to know several other couples around the bar and talking about everything from jobs, to kids, to politics and religion.   We quickly learned to recognize the Hedo regulars by their mugs, which were marked with the dates or number of times they had been to Hedo.

Later the staff had several couples participate in some games that I can guarantee you will not see at any other resorts!  I would love to tell more, but there are definitely some things that happen at Hedo that must stay at Hedo!

As the sun began to go down we realized we had made a mistake staying at Breezes instead of HII, but had to go back because we had not brought any other clothes for dinner. Not that you really need much other clothing, but we did not want to eat in a wet bathing suit.

Part 2 coming soon!

Pool at hotel in Maho Bay

The Dutch side is very “american”.  We spent most of our time there and visited Cheri’s Cafe almost every night.  The entertainment was great and guranteed a fun time.

The French side was more upscale and all of the beaches were topless.  Club Orient is also located on the French side and is a true nudist resort.  We decided we had to go see what it was like at least once.  It was not what we expected.  Ages ranged from very young (kids) to very old, with the majority being very old.  If you were hoping to see a bunch of hotties naked – this was not the place!

Sign at Club Orient

T & I did pick a spot on the beach.  I stripped down completely, but she left her bottoms on.  There was an elderly couple, probably in their 70s, nearest to us.  They were completely naked and having a great time.  They were taking pictures of each other and just loving being on the beach and being naked. 

There was also one other memorable part of the day.   A large black man (and by large I mean he probably had bruises on his knees) came by doing the elephant walk.  He passed by several times just to see how much attention he could get.  He was one of very few blacks on the beach, so he stood out already, but T was amazed and afraid of the thing swinging between his legs!

We did not stay all that long, but were glad we had ventured to the “nude side” and seen that it really was not that big a deal.  The people were pretty “normal” for the most part and just enjoyed being naked. 

The St. Marteen trip taught us that we needed that time alone each year and that it was a big part of keeping our marriage strong.  We highly recommend that all couples take some time to be away from everyone else and connect at least once a year.  Long weekends are good, but they don’t compare to fully disconnecting from everything else for a full week at least once a year.

nakedtruth.org booth

Their booth was giving away more stuff than anyone else we visited. They gave us several copies of “Polyester People” and a CD on a marriage series. They have since sent us several additional copies of the book to give out to others. Their CDs are available for download (for free) on their website.

T and I are christians with very open minds. We realize that many times other people that call themselves Christians drive others away by being so critical and judgemental. It was really cool to see a church establishing a presence in this type of venue, and never once threatening anyone by telling them that they were going to Hell. Rather they presented their message openly, freely and non-threatening. Way to go guys.

There was also another church organization there. They are associated with xxxchurch.com and were handing out a book titled “Jesus Loves Porn Stars”. This is a great group also. They make several products and resources available on their website to help monitor kids activities, provide filtering and provide help if you are struggling with Porn addiction.

When we were walking in, we joked that we should look for something for our kids at the show.  Believe it or not, we actually bought something for one of them.  We saw this really nice teddy bear, which comes with a secret hiding spot.  It is supposed to be for your “toys”, but our child thought it was really cool.  We  just hope it will be a long time before they figure out what it is really for!

Healthy Pleasures

Next door to them was the Liberator booth. We have seen there Zeppelin in magazines and thought it would be a cool piece of furniture to have, but had always wondered what it was really like.

It was alot more like a giant pillow than a firm piece of furniture. Probably would be great for “experimenting”. Maybe we will get to try one out one day!

They also had a variety of Lelo toys on display, looking forward to trying those out some time as well.

First thing we saw were the major studio booths. Tera Patrick and several others were signing at one booth (don’t remember which one). Made our way to Adam & Eve to meet up with Ryan. He was nice enough to sit down and talk for a while. Even gave us a Natural Contours vibe to try out. “Little Blue” has been a great addition to the collection. Small and powerful, but a little on the noisy side. I guess powerful and quiet don’t necessarily go together.
