I promised a story involving Helena and public nudity so here goes. This occurred before she did any posing for me so she was still very worried about being seen nude. Now there are lots of reasons to get married. For Helena and I one of the main reasons was to have someone to play with, to have fun with. My dad was a jokster, always kidding around. Lots of practical jokes in our family. Helena's family didn't do much of that kind of thing if any. Anyway that is how she ended up nude in public. For the first few months after I returned from the Navy we lived with her mom and dad. It was an older neighborhood, houses close together. So, newlyweds, small house and the parents. Not a lot of opportunity for playing any "adult" games. Then they took a two week vacation. It was heaven. One afternoon we were planning to go out for dinner. Helena had just gotten out of the shower and was joking around with me about something. I told her to quit. She said, "or what". I told her if she didn't quit I was going to set her out on the front porch, naked. Then she said something really stupid. She said, "you wouldn't dare". Well, before the word dare had even faded away I opened the front door, picked her up and set her outside, yanked off her towel and closed and locked the door. So its the middle of the afternoon, in a crowded neighborhood. She doesn't dare scream, yell or even really pound on the door. So she politely knocks, and knocks, and knocks. I gave her about 30 seconds of "exposure" and then let her back in. She didn't say anything. I don't know if she didn't know what to say, or was afraid of what she might say. We never did find out if she had been seen by anyone. I do know she proved her love for me that day by not immediately asking for a divorce. For my part I proved mine by never doing anything like that again. I also know that she never said "you wouldn't dare", to me again. The things you do while you are "learning" to be a couple. When she would tell this story to friends later she usually had her arm around me and the story always ended with a kiss. So I guess that was a successfully learned lesson. The first photo today was taken in 1974. We were visiting the ruined city of Pompeii. We are in the "house of the faun". I'm guessing that there are thousands of pictures around the world just like this one. Well this one is mine. The second photo was taken during one of the "nude" shoots. She usually started out wearing different clothes. This was in 1974. The last photo is from 1973. It is the first picture I ever took of her. Sorry about the backlighting. I just grabbed a quick shot. This is how she looked the day I first met her. This is the girl I fell for, all the way. I have another "public nude" story, maybe for tomorrow.
