When we go up to our favorite rooftop sundeck, we usually have it to ourselves. But technically it is the roof of a hotel, albeit a small boutique hotel, and any hotel guest is welcome to use it. So once in a while we’ve been joined by hotel guests, who generally share our taste for naked sunbathing (it’s a clothing optional roofdeck whether we’re there or not) and who pay us as little attention as we pay them.
This last time, though, we met a fellow named Matthew, a real estate professional by trade, who turned out randomly to be a fan of ours. He’d been reading our blog for years (hi, Matthew! you’re probably reading this!) and even had an unfinished message to us in his outbox, half written. Small world, is all we can say.
While normally we are leery of random men who express interest in our group and hang around one of our events, Matthew was perfectly nice and handled the situation exactly as we might have hoped — no goggling and adulation, and in fact not even much attention paid after the first few minutes of “No way, you’re them?” To be all beatnik about it, he was a cool cat.
He even introduced us to the pleasures of sunning under the influence of coconut oil, an all-natural substance with, he assured us, an inherent SPF of something like 4 and a pleasant smell and sensation as you rub it in. Several of us gave it a try, including the one male member we had with us this time, and we were amused to observe that the whole “pleasant sensation as you rub it in” aspect seemed to particularly appeal to him and Matthew. It’s ok. There’s a kind of separate upper section to the deck and we left the boys alone up there to enjoy their coconut oil.
Meanwhile, the rest of us had a blast with the aid of a variety of other intoxicants, including ridiculously yummy popcorn,
fruit,
hose play (is that a thing?),
Gabriel Garcia Marquez,
Hard Case Crime,
inexplicably hilarious coffee-table artbooks,
and napping,
and napping,
and napping.
It was about as perfect an afternoon as you could wish for, with none of the rain that had been forecast (that’s a recurring theme so far this summer: ominous weather forecasts that don’t come true) and the joy of hanging with good friends and good books and loads of salubrious nakedness.
Oh, and an inflatable pool filled with very, very cold water.
We talked and ate and slept and dreamt and read until the sun began sinking in the west. Could we call it paradise? Why not. Everything seems paradisiacal with enough sunshine on it.
And enough coconut oil.
I feel enticed to ask what hotel that is, but since the chances are I’m not going to the States for many years to come I see no relevancy in asking.
Besides I have a feeling you prefer keeping it for yourself for the time being. 😉
Looks really inviting though.
Coconut oil is very good for your skin. Anytime a friend or relative gets pregnant I get them a jar of Coconut oil and have them rub it on their stomachs twice a day. None have ever had stretch marks. The oil softens the skin so that it stretches and does not tear to cause stretch marks.
That’s great! We never knew coconut oil had so many good properties.
I am concerned that you hurt your cause by the sexual nature of this particular post. Going topless in NYC is legal and your right. But allowing guys to jerkoff on the rooftop with you is going to link simple nudity with perversity, IMHO.
Masturbation is not “perversity.” Either that, or pretty much every human being on the planet is a pervert. Granted, it’s not something one generally does in a public place — but this was a semi-private setting, and they were polite about it. It wasn’t hostile or directed at the rest of us, it was clearly just a matter of someone indulging in a bit of physical pleasure. (And it was, um, brief.)
Full nudity is also not legal in public places (generally), and I see that you don’t condemn our indulging in that pleasure on the rooftop as “perversity.” You should be careful throwing that label around. Some harmless pleasure you enjoy might be perversity in someone else’s eyes.
nice
Making a circle jerk with only 2 dudes is very difficult. I applaud them. And I don’t know what that woman was reading on her phone . . . but it didn’t seem to be making her very happy 🙂
Reblogged this on shaverxxx and commented:
Perfect day to be nude with a nice guy. And the ladies ???? smoke IN the water ??? I only know the title “smoke ON the water – Deep Purple”….LOL
As a nudist couple my hubby and I very much enjoy following this blog and support what it is about and that is TopFreedom for women. I personally found the inclusion of the male photos to be very nice. It is not uncommon to see males at our resort applying sunscreen to their bodies, become semi to fully aroused. The normal thought process is so what, it’s a natural reaction and temporary. As a certified natural essential oils consultant we use fractionated coconut oil to help disperse some of the more harsh essential oils. The benefits of fractionated coconut oil are numerous plus it makes the hands and body feel so smooth as it absorbs quite nicely into the skin. I use it all the time when giving my aroma touch techniques and massages, and yes it’s also an excellent temporary lubricant. Beautiful pics by all. (Kim)
My favorite NYC rooftop. You are so fortunate to have a hotel that supports you. What a lovely group.
After a week in cold, rainy Scotland, I can only bask in the reflected sunshine of your rooftop paradise and say ‘bring on the coconut oil!’ 🙂
