Sometimes she does, sometimes she don't
 

Interested in similar stories.

I have a wife has always been extremely shy and not exhibitionist at all. Took me forever to see her naked with the lights on, still gets embarrassed/covers up if she catches me looking after many years of marriage, would never wear a bikini...just one pieces outside, etc. But sometimes she seems to like to exhibit a bit. Walking around house/in backyard with just shirt/thong, leaving doors open at home when she shower/changes even when expecting guests, leaving blinds open as she goes to get towels in other room, etc. None of it major, but still find it curious. I'll relate a couple of stories:

we spent a vacation with friends (husband/wife/kids) and we stayed in a condo together. we had separate bedrooms, theirs down the same hall from ours, but ours had giant mirrors on the wall which if you were walking down the hall and looked in just a little, could see a reflection of the whole room, bed, and the area just outside the bathroom very plainly. And it was a heavily trafficked hallway as you went down it to go to kids rooms, kitchen, patio, etc.

Each night she was walking around bra-less (obvious, boobs shaking underneath, full outline of boobs visible). Seeing as she's made fun of other people for doing this around married couples, I found it interesting she would do that, but still no big deal. Next morning she showers and gets ready for our activities..i walk in our bedroom and the door is wide open. I close it behind me and see that she's standing by the bed with towel around her head, topless, just sliding on her panties, with all her clothes spread on the bed. Knowing her routine, she would have come out of the bathroom , walked around the room (naked with just towel on her head) to the various suitcases picking out what she was going to wear, lay them on the bed, and then get dressed. If the husband had been walking down the hallway at any point of this and looked in the mirror, would have seen her in all her glory without even trying to peak...at some points he wouldn't have even needed the reflection in the mirror. I'm not sure if he did/didn't as I only walked in at the end. I mentioned to her that the door was wide open and she gave a nonchalant "oops!". Next day she's about to get in shower and kids leave the room and the door is wide open and she goes to do it again (I have to close the door, again.) During the trip at least 3-4 times I go in there while she's showering, changing, naked out in the main room, all with the door open and viewable from the mirrors. Now kids were coming in and out and I'm sure that's why it was open, but she would still known it was open (as well as how visible she was to anybody walking by). Again, not sure the husband ever saw it but I have to think he did at some point as many times as you walk down the hall and many times as she did it. In fact one time I rounded the corner as he's walking down the hall and saw his eyes cut in and look at the mirror..but that particular time she wasn't changing...but the fact that he looked made me think he may have caught something like that earlier (or was waiting for it).

Separate from leaving the door open, she also on a couple of occasions opened the curtains while doing this same routine while i was in the room (walking around naked after shower, picking out clothes, changing in the main bedroom). The main patio connected to our bedroom and we spent a lot of time on the patio, so if our friend was out there he would have had a clear view from that angle as well. I think even people from the pool could have seen, depending on the glare.

So here's a woman who wouldn't be caught dead wearing a 2 piece outside, but had no issues being naked/topless with doors/curtains open while another man was wondering around the place. Maybe it's because it's a friend, maybe it's because it's "vacation", I'm not sure. It's not specific to this particular guy though, as I've had similar stories with other friends too. I relate some other stories in following posts.

Why did you keep closing the door?

Sounds hot, can we see her? Please tell the other stories. What kind of panties was she wearing?

I think it's about control. They feel that under specific circumstances they can be in control; as far as who sees them, how much, etc...

My GF is the same way. I walk around nude our home all the time; she says she's not into that. Yet, I've caught her walking by the open window completely naked, knowing that from our place people on the street can just see her. When I tell her that she feigns ignorance.

When we were on vacation, she put up a big fuss about visiting the nude beach. Yet, when we went for a walk on the public beach one evening, she chose to just wear a cover-up with no undies. As we waded in the water, she suddenly pulled up her cover-up, revealing her bare ass. She continued walking bottomless even as other people walked by us. I was like "WTF!? She's fussing about going to the nude beach down the strip but I walking around with her ass and vage out?!"

I realized it's about control and being able to choose who sees her naked. At the nude beach everyone can see her nude; and she can't control who looks. But I'm working on it. I'm trying to impart to her that she doesn't need to control who sees her naked. She has agreed to try being really naked in front of everyone when we go back on vacation.

Wow!
 

Nudony, I think that your wife walking or swimming around a public beach while bottomless is MUCH more sexy than being fully nude at a nude beach. Fantastic!

Believe me, I don't begrudge her "flashing." I guess I just want my cake and eat it too!

It's interesting...in that sense my ex-wife and my GF are opposites. My ex just didn't flash much at all. There were a couple of times...but late at night. On the other hand, at the nudist resort or with nudist friends, she went completely naked. When she lounged or walked around or socialized she knew everyone could see her intimately; and she just didn't care. In the real world she was prudish; in the nudist environment she wasn't hiding anything.

I don't want my GF to be like my ex...for many reasons. But somewhere in the middle would be nice!

A female friend of me says that every woman is an exhibionist :-)

I had an ex in college who was conservative in almost every way. It was a bit of a wonder that she was up for having sex in fact, but all of her friends were doing it with their bfs so I think she didn't want to feel like she was missing out.

Anyway, unlike my wonderful current lady, this ex was not into exhibitionism in the slightest. With one naughty exception.

The year we were together, I lived with three other guys in a plain, 1970s-era semi-detached house. None of the rooms had en-suites bathrooms. The upstairs floor had four bedrooms and a common bathroom - which was right at the top of the stairs. My bedroom was immediately to the left when you were facing the bathroom door.

Anyway, here's the thing... Like a lot of women I've known, she liked to pop to the bathroom after shagging. I can't remember how it started but she developed a habit of basically hopping out of the bed straight afterwards and running in the buff to the common bathroom. Ok, I'll admit it was only about four steps but it was through the open space right at the top of the stairs! And, once it became a 'tradition' in our relationship, she did it 100% of the time - even if one or all of my housemates were in the building!

She'd pause at the door of the room and peek out. If there wasn't anyone right there, out she'd go and into the bathroom. I used to always hope that at some point, one of my housemates would appear and stand outside the bathroom waiting for his turn in the shower or whatever. It never happened though.

It was only one thing and it was just so at odds with her attitude in general.

I had a GF, Katy, in college who was a designer, her mother owed a high end couture, however expensive her clothes were, she always dressed modestly. We went to swim parties and she wore matronly looking one piece suits. Sex was with the lights out, not that she didn't have a beautiful figure.

Her mom does this charity fashion show every year, they design and make all the clothes and Katy is her top model. It's a runway show and women bid on the outfits. They asked me to come and help with moving stuff around and serving refreshments. I was floored when Katy comes out wearing very sexy outfits, see-thru tops with no bra, her nipples there for the crowd to see, lingerie, sexy swim suits.

I had to ask her after why she was so bold on the runway but so modest the rest of ther time, all she would say was that was 'different'. Go figure.

My wife mentioned that in the past she’d regularly sunbathed nude with one of her pals on the countryside walk between Cambridge and Grantchester (England, that is) – a route that’s riven with tourists, students and people punting up the river Cam; sunbathed topless as a teenager on family holidays infront of her family, and sunbathed topless on holidays abroad in her younger days.

However, on any holiday we’ve been on she’s kept covered up to the extent that she reacted with horror when I’ve opened the hotel room curtains as she came out the shower in a room that was top floor and not overlooked!

Then on the last day of the same holiday (southern Spain) we were by the pool and she complained about the heat to which I replied “well take THAT off then!”, pointing at the wraparound thing she was wearing. “But I’m only wearing pants under here” came the reply. I reacted in a manner that suggested nobody would care less if she lost the lot, what with us being surrounded by a bunch of topless female sunbathers. More than a touch frustrated by this point.

I went and got drinks and as I returned she undid the wraparound and took it off, giving me a big smile in the process. At last followed a sustained period of toplessness, including us being passed and spoken to the bloke who I’d been discussing the football with in the bar the night before and had been joined by my wife during the conversation. She didn’t bat an eye at revealing her 36Fs to someone we’d got to know - this after years of poolside prudery.

For some women it's really one extreme or the other. For example: My wife has never set foot outside our home in a bikini. Not once, EVER. She's never owned one. She has never worn a bikini at any pool, on any beach, or even around our extremely close friends, even when most of the other women are in bikinis. No one has ever seen her in one (except me, and even me only a couple of times). Only a fully-covering one piece swimsuit. When I asked she said something like "It feels like I'm in my underwear, it's just weird." She finds everything about the idea of wearing one in public embarrassing. Any suggestions that she try one sometime are turned down flatly.

So you'd think total prude, obviously. But... she has gone both topless in bikini bottoms and fully nude on nude beaches, suntanning topless in our semi-public yard and more secluded parks, in hot tubs, and on several occasions in front of those exact same friends that she won't wear a bikini in front of. On one warm summer evening she sat topless on the edge of a hot tub in front of about six of our friends (about half men) with only her feet in the water for almost an hour, smiling, joking, laughing, listening, drinking beer, straight backed and concealing nothing at any point. On another occasion she said "Just come in, it's fine" to a male friend of ours who needed to grab something from our bathroom while she was showering (our shower curtain is 100% transparent, it conceals literally nothing).

But a bikini is a hard no. It makes no sense, but I ain't complaining!

That was my ex-wife. She didn't even own any bikinis or two-piece swimsuits either. In "public" it was a one-piece swimsuit, also full covering; and sometimes even with a sarong or T-shirt on top! I thought it was overkill; like "burka" prude. And she'd say it was about comfort.

And then we'd go to some nudist venue or get-together...and she'd go in the complete opposite direction! Even if other women there were wearing a little something; she'd always get completely nude, hanging out and socializing. She was proudly naked, in front of nudist friends and strangers alike, and had no hang ups about people looking at her. At get-togethers, she would literally get completely naked right away; and would often be the last person to put on clothes; even as other people started dressing and leaving.

She definitely led 2 lives. That couldn't have been more different!

I agree. Given the right circumstances, yes.
or at the very least, a wanna be.
.

I think most women want to feel attractive. It's in their DNA. And given the right opportunity or circumstances, they will sometimes "measure" their attractiveness by "presenting" themselves in a more revealing way. And yes, I feel that those that do not "go there" - for whatever reason - actually envy those that do.

My GF actually accepts her exhibitionist side and is honest about it; which is refreshing. She is a "mild" exhibitionist in the sense that she is selective about what she shows and how she shows it. But if the "right" opportunity presents itself to her, and she gets a positive response, it puts a smile on her face.

I have experienced a variety of behaviour with my wife but over the years but have worked out that the main key to her exhibitionism is anonimity
She's happy completely naked on a crowded nude beach and we've been in a nude resort where we've queued up the supermarket naked, but away from that environment it's different.
She won't be seen topless by her friends or family and her contortions while getting changed on a regular beach are crazy, just in case she flashes something.
However 'to keep the old boy happy' she does dress up, sometimes se through, maybe stockings and flash for me when we are out shopping and sometimes goes further that I expect. Once we are on a day out she really gets into it. Last time we were out she was exposing her stocking tops in the car for lorry drivers to see.
'Accidentally' you understand, no eye contact or waving, always subtle.

Anywhere away from our hometown is good, and travel and hotels always a bonus as there is what I view as an 'alternative universe' where you do things you wouldn't normally do.

I think I've got to work out the right circumstances now and know that if there are friends or family around we are in 'Prudeland', but I can live with that.

My wife is in the same boat as you guys. What I have learned is she's "open" to idea in a couple of conditions are met. Mainly, the kids have to be away, she isn't worried about work and we are NOT in a location that we frequent. I've learned that if I can get all those criteria meet, odds are in my favor she's up to doing something she would never ever consider. And a little liquor doesn't hurt:D

Very similar to my wife
 

Though as she ages, her reservations are not about the act of nudity as much as her dislike of her appearance (though she sports a 5'2" 125lb frame, I don't think there is an issue with it).

We've gone to clothing optional resorts where we rode around on bikes, took walks around the property (it also contained condos and single family homes for long term residents), played volleyball.. We go to the nude beach. She has stood completely naked with people we just met, holding a conversation like she was at the grocery store.

One time, she told me that she overheard two of the girls in her office talking about the nude beach. Neither knew anything about it and were asking each other questions. My wife interjects and says she knows where it is and that she and I go. They had a conversation but I didn't get much more about the details. A couple months later, I was out of town and got a call from my wife. She was asking for directions. I popped to attention and asked her if she was going to go out there by herself. She said no, one of the at the office wanted to go and she was going to give her directions. When we talked on my return, I asked how it went. She said the girl did not get a chance to go. Since we were going the next say (Saturday), I said why didn't she invite her. My wife say "Are you crazy ? I'm not going to get naked with people I work with." ???? But she knows you go and get naked. The office pretty much knows....

On a couple of occasions, she's walked the halls from elevator to our hotel room naked, dress in hand. On a recent trip to Vegas, I was getting a little tired of the slots (she could play for hours) and made her an offer, $100 to play if she'll strip on the way to the room. She looked at me like I just suggested we go roll a drunk and throw them in a dumpster.

She'll dress sexy at times when I don't expect it and then times when we're going out on a really nice date (party or dinner etc) and she'll dress like a nun.

I never know which wife I get from day to day. But I've learned to go with it and enjoy when she's feeling 'frisky'.

Wife's perspective
 

This thread is totally cracking me up thinking about my poor husband.

For most of our marriage I was very conservative in both the way I dressed and how I acted, but over the past year I have flashed my boobs, gotten naked in a hot tub with friends, and served as a topless waitress as a dare a couple times.

But when I get dressed up to go out, other than occasionally wearing a short skirt, I generally look like I'm going to church.

But get me in the right mood, with the right blood-alcohol level, and who knows what will happen.

I was on vacation in my old hometown with my ex when I ran into a similar situation. I went to visit an old friend and co-worker of mine whom I hadn't seen in a long time. At that point she was usually nude in her backyard and she knew of my nudist lifestyle with my wife. So naturally she told me to call my wife and have her come over so we could all chillax and enjoy her pool nude. I was stoked: I figured we were all going to have a great afternoon with a friend sans clothes; and since my wife at that point had been socially nude, she'd jump in the car and come over. Her response surprised me. "Hell no! I'm not just going to just get naked at Monica's house!!"
Now...this was the same person who just a while earlier not only had been completely naked at someone's house; but had tossed off all her clothes right when we got there, and then proceeded to socialize and hang out naked throughout the house without a shred of concern about her nudity. I was taken aback.
And then I realized...it was because she "knew" Monica. She just didn't want to be naked around Monica or her husband.


Truth.

Yep
 

Same with my wife, she will go nude at the drop of a hat as long as it's near water. Otherwise, no way. Another issue she has is that it's fine if she meets people when we all are naked, say at a beach or resort pool. But if she first meets them when clothed, she is very reluctant to later on be naked around them.

bikini vs. nude
 

After my wife turned 40 or so, she decided no more bikinis for her, instead she wears the most modest one pieces she can find when on a clothed beach. But she prefers to go nude and has no issue with that, sometimes when she is the only nude woman on the beach. It comes down to vanity; she feels that bikinis make her look fat because of the constraining elastic, etc. which I guess is sort of true. Most women do look trimmer when fully nude.

I can always tell when my missus is starting to get that special horny exhibitionist feeling - It's when she very subtly exhibits. In fact it doesn't even have to be exhibiting, it can even just be something small she says.

For example:

We were at our favourite public beach which is quite private and she was in a micro bikini (tiny triangle top, think but not t-back bottoms) It was your classic micro.

Unfortunately that day there were navy drills going on off the shore directly out from us...
(quite a distance out but the carrier was MASSIVE, so it dominated the skyline. Choppers were doing drills - new pilot training by the looks of it)
...I say unfortunate because she'd gone to the beach that morning with real intent as I'd worked her up the night before, but wouldn't let her orgasm. She was looking forward to enjoying a beer or two on the beach while naked. That usually means a great masturbation session as well. A session that would have brought several orgasms for her no doubt.

So with the military training going on, we decided it probably best for her not to get naked and masturbate! Instead, we went swimming and when we got out, she basically bent over with her arse facing the boat and flying choppers (that weren't all the far from us). She didn't do this just for a moment. She'd decided that there was something on the edge of the water that she needed to investigate by bending over and showing off her ass for a good couple of minutes.

Once she got to back to our towels she then stripped naked facing away from them and took an eternity to put on her clothes. She had a very slight smile on her face as we chatted. She must have definitely felt naughty I'd say. Of course I didn't say anything as she would have denied it.

This is just one in a large number of very subtle exhibitionistic situations for her. I've come to spot them as soon as they start, so I just go along for the ride pretending to be oblivious for the most part and allowing her this little thrill.

Two years ago at Club O. my wife "accidentally" flashed the entire beach while rolling around naked in the surf. A couple of days prior she decided to walk bottomless at night on a public beach.

Last year we went back to St. Martin and she wouldn't be caught nude.

A few days ago we talked about a nudist resort; and I asked her if she wanted to go. She not only said yes; but she was looking forward to hanging out naked.


It truly "comes and goes.":confused:

A real dichotomy
 

It is so amazing to find out that there are other guys with women as screwy as mine. She will go nude at a nude beach or nude resort without even thinking about it, but will be reluctant to wear a bikini. Just like the other post in this thread, she says the bikini makes her look fat. She will pose for other guys to take her picture topless or nude, but not me. Some days she will ride topless in the car and look truckers in the eye as we pass them with those guys getting an eyeful of boobs. Then on other days, she will cover up every time we pass a trucker. She will walk around nude at a nude resort, but sometime will not even go topless at biker rallies if she doesn't have a girlfriend egging her to do so. She shows her pussy at nude resorts and dances like crazy nude and in front of people in the nude park crowd just watching the band and maybe her as well. But will not dance partially nude or get totally nude at a biker rally. She won't go panty-less with a skirt, but will go clothes-less at the nude resort. She will take a shower at a biker rally in a co-ed communal environment and even stand there in the shower talking with guys only feet from her while both are nude, but has to wear clothes going back to the campground and will not get naked later that evening in front of the same people. Sometime we will be driving and I will say, "Am I going to have a topless co-pilot today?" She will respond, "When I am good and ready! I think this one is definitely about control, because she will wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or more before she sheds. There is no reason, other than she wants to wait. So there is no logic, consistency or real reason behind it all. It drives a guy nuts!!! But I guess I'm not the only one.

Dancing at a nude resort
 

This weekend my wife and I went to a nude resort. They have Saturday night dances where the women dress with very little on or are totally nude. My wife sometimes dances nude, but this time she wore a very short skirt with a slit up to her waist. After a few drinks she was sitting with her legs spread about 6 inches apart. Sometimes it is more fun for guys to get a flash of things than to have it full bore laid out in front of them. I noticed many guys attempting and getting a shot of her pussy under our table. We finished our bottle of wine, and I agreed to buy another. The line was long at the bar, and I needed to take a leak, so I headed to the restroom. Once I returned to the bar, the line was even longer. It must have been a good 15 minutes before I eventually returned with a bottle to our table. By that time, she was on the dance floor and slow dancing with another guy who had her skirt up around her waist and was getting a good feel of her ass. She seemed to be enjoying the fondle, and many of the other guys in the crowd apparently were entertained by her interlude with the young stranger. When she returned to our table, she commented that I had been gone for quite awhile. I replied, as I saw her flushed face (a common sign when she is turned on), that she seemed to make the best of my absence. She said, "Well, I only danced twice with that guy, and they were some of my favorite dance songs. However, I knew that if the opportunity had been there, she would have been in bed with him in a second. I think the reason that it didn't go further is that he was there alone, and didn't have a girl to share for a swap. Too bad for all of us.

My wife takes her "cues" from other people AND however she's feeling at that particular moment. For example, if we're at the nudist resort and a woman next to us is lying with her legs open, she's going to be lying with her legs open too. But if that woman leaves her legs are going to close right back up.

In the hot tub she'll usually stay fully immersed and be relatively quiet. But if she gets in a conversation to her liking with another nudist, she's sitting up on the ledge, chatting away and completely naked for all to see. And when the conversation is over she'll immerse back again or leave the hot-tub wrapped in her sarong.

So she's completely inconsistent with how she behaves naked. I've just learned to accept it like most husbands.
