During my period of sexual philanthropy which began when my first marriage broke up, I liked having a dark tan body with untanned WHITE skin in the shape of my bikini. When a man got me naked, I wanted him to know he was seeing something which just wasn't out in public view. I wanted him to think he was seeing something special (even though a different guy got that special view yesterday, and somebody else probably would see it tomorrow). Some guys told me that was how they felt

I'm closer to 40 now than to 35, and I'm about ready to rejoin the world of dating. I have already resolved to not repeat the mistakes of my youth in terms of the number of partners. That was stupid, and I was very lucky to have come out of those days healthy. But I'm thinking it is time to put the bikini back on, so when the time comes, the person who sees me naked will know this is a private view. I've got the same body I had at 25, with everything still in the same places and just about as firm. I don't need to hide the container.

Forget about the photos, which would you prefer, a naked new lover showing you parts of herself not often out and in view, or a lover who, when she is naked, you can't tell if she spends time outside naked, or is just naturally a little tiny bit tan?
