“God, Ellen, I’d love to take a swim in your pool. Do you think that you could lend me a swimming costume?”

“I’m sorry, Joy, but I don’t own a swimming costume.”

“What? You have a magnificent swimming pool and you don’t even swim in it?”

“Of course I swim in it. We all swim naked in our pool, and visitors are expected to respect that rule too.”

It was a hot Friday night. Joy and her husband Will, my husband, John, and I were sitting around a table in our pool area, digesting our barbecue. Joy and Will’s two kids, Mary (4 years) and Len (3) and our two, Dan (6) and Lulu (4) were already splashing around in the pool, all of them naked. I had met Joy when we were both picking up our daughters and her son from preschool. I had invited her family for tonight without telling her that we had a pool.

When our guests had arrived, our two kids were already in the pool naked so Joy and Will did not seem to have any problem with their two joining our two in the pool. When I called the kids for their meal, my two just came to the table naked so Mary and Len copied them. Once the kids were fed they headed back to the pool and we adults sat down to our meal.

Nudity was not an issue for Joy’s kids, but now that Joy felt an urge to get into the pool it seemed that her own nudity was more of an issue. I looked at John who had a big grin on his face which I took to mean that he would like to see Joy naked, then I looked at Will who had an even bigger grin on his face. Did he want to see his wife naked in front of John and me?

“Joy, take your clothes off and hop into the water. I’ll get towels for everyone. Are you two blokes going to swim with us?”

I didn’t wait for an answer as I headed inside, taking most of the dirty dishes with me. When I came back I was naked and carrying towels for everyone. Joy, still fully dressed, was looking nervous.

“Go ahead, honey,” Will told Joy, “it’s no big deal. We’re all good friends here.”

“You don’t mind everyone seeing your wife naked.”

“Hell, Joy. It’s not everyone, it’s just our good friends, Ellen and John. I think that I’ll come in too. How about you John?”

Once we were all in the pool the two men started horsing around, picking up the kids and throwing them a short distance in the air before splashing down safely into the water.

“Daddy? Why don’t you throw mummy and Mary’s mum in the air too?”, my daughter, Lulu, wanted to know.

So John and Will grabbed me by my arms and legs and together swung me back and forth, then threw me a few feet, landing in the pool with a big splash. When they tried to do the same to Joy she tried to run away, but she was too slow for John who grabbed her and held her against his body to stop her from getting away. Will then grabbed her legs and John and Will managed to throw her a few feet before splashing down.

After that the kids retreated to the shallow end of the pool and watched while we four adults behaved like children, wrestling with each other and ducking each other. After a few minutes of this I detected a pattern: Joy was really into ‘wrestling’ with my husband, John, while Joy’s husband, Will, was most interested in the feel of my naked, wet body against his. I knew my husband well enough to know that he was really enjoying himself, and I certainly liked Will’s attentions.

After, maybe 15 minutes of this Joy called a halt.

“I’m afraid that we should get our kids home and in bed.”

“Why not,” I suggested, “put your kids to bed with ours? Then you can stay for another drink.”

So Joy and I put both girls to bed in Lulu’s bed and both boys to bed in Dan’s bed. They were all still naked, as were we. The kids were a bit crowded in the single beds, but they all seemed happy, treating it as an adventure.

Back outside, near the pool, I decided to try moving the action up a notch. I went and sat straddling Will’s lap, facing him, with my arms around his neck. My attention was totally on Will, but John told me later that Joy just stood there looking a little bit uncertain of herself, until John finished pouring 4 flutes of champagne and then he led her to another couch and pulled her to sit on top of him.
