Public Displays of Stripes

Public swimming pools are the pits, munchkins. It’s not the facilities, you understand; they are perfectly adequate. It’s that they tend to be quite crowded, and there is always, always somebody staring at your butt.

And it’s not that I suddenly decided that I don’t like my butt stared at. Of course I do. Let them look, particularly if they like what they see. It’s that my butt, more often than not, is striped, or at least pink. And my thighs? Don’t even start; stripes on my thighs last forever.

What can I say? There’s no escaping the most concealing swimsuits one can find on the market. The ones with *shorts*. They are very stiff, and a buggering pain to get on and off. And then, in the changing room, I must take care to change with my back to the lockers, so that nobody gets unduly worried about the state of my behind. I’ve got some interesting looks in that changing room after forgetting to stand with my ass to the wall.

My life is so so full of hardship.

    Aww, you poor thing. I never know which way to turn. What’s more shocking – tramlines or my porn-shorn front?

    Do you know, it’s never occurred to me to be embarrassed of my hair-do down below. Nobody’s going to call the police on account of shaved pubes!

    True, but while shaved pubes is an unremarkable sight in our lifestyle; it’s all dense foliage at the gym, so I suspect that vanillas think only porn stars are shaved. Makes me a bit self-conscious.

    I’ve never thought about being shaved as controversial either, but you’re right Niki. It’s definately more prevalant among folks in our lifestyle than elsewhere. I used to be afraid to go to the doctor because I thought the doctor would comment about my being shaved. Of course nowadays I’m far less concerned about comments regarding my pubic hair than I am about marks. Shooting every week I will probably just have to accept that next time I go I’ll have to fess up to what I do.

    Hello Adele

    Why not wear thongs for swimming. Show it*all.* Then when someone comments on the state of yr rump & thighs, simply reply “That’s the price of naughtiness.”

    Yrs in pervery, Adrian

    I’m never naughty, Adrian. *Never*!

    The thongsuit sounds like a good thought, though :)

    A thongsuit for Adele, Bailey, and Niki, I would love that shot ;)

    About the shaved front – a perspective from the “other” locker room, for what it’s worth.: four out of five men that I see at the gym (and I try not to, please!), are shaven “down there.”

    Thanks for the top-secret insider information, Val. I’ve been wondering about that :)
