Nude Beach – Part 1
First time at Gunnison Beach
So, I’m not really sure how this all started. I do know I’ve wanted to go to a nude beach for a long time. I’ve never “not wanted to go ” Lately, it’s seemed to gain momentum. And our continued critical thinking about unfettered passion in our marriage has added fuel to this fire. Also, Queen has recently become open to go.
I should mention this “real life” character arc that Queen has been on. In writing, a character arc is the change in a character over the course of a story. The character begins as one sort of person and transforms into a different sort, responding to stuff in the story. Or it’s real change in a real person over the course of their real life.
Queen has always been a “Good Girl,” and I’m blessed that she was. She was a good daughter, “behaved” in high school and college, got saved, etc. And she was (and is) a model wife and mother to our kids. But this “goodness” also constrained her in our passion, and so held her (and us) back from robust “passion growth.”
We’ve been “thinking” a lot about married love, passion, heat, lust, and wild, raw, animal fucking. You know, normal stuff. One result was to go “minimalist” as far as “rules” go. If it wasn’t direct, clear, and “out of bounds” (OOB) in the Bible, it was fair game for our monogamous marriage bed! Oh, what a ride it’s been!
As a result, Queen has been exploring a path of sexual “unleashedness.” (Is that even a word?) Her Good Girl persona has been transforming into a married, monogamous Vixen! Not “vixen” in the worldy sense, but I stole the word back! It’s a good thing. Naked hiking, naked kayaking, naked around the house! And now, a nude beach!
So where was I going with all this? Oh yeah, the nude beach.
Looking for a place “in reach,” I stumbled on Gunnison Beach in Sandy Hook, NJ, as a consistently highly rated nude beach. Low key, low crowds, low cost, and relatively easy travel. And no clothes. It checked all the boxes. And it’s kind of on our way to travel to the mid-Atlantic area to see Queen’s aging Dad.
In early August 2023, we planned a trip to see her Dad and a stop at Gunnison on the way down. So we drove the 6-hour trip in 7 hours (horrible traffic) on a Thursday afternoon. We stayed in a less than thrilling hotel (my bad choice.) The next morning, we woke to our moment of nude beach truth! I was vibrating with excitement!
OK, enough stalling. When do we get naked? I know you’re thinking that. It’s coming.
We checked out and had breakfast at The Yolk’s On You restaurant. It’s a cool little place with good food. Then we drove to Gunnison Beach. We parked, and people were dressed. Walking to a pavilion area, people were dressed. Along a path to the beach, people were dressed. Then we hit the beach area… naked as far as the eye can see!
This was glorious! People of all shapes and sizes. No bathing suits, just birthday suits! I am an avowed voyeur. These sights were a delight! I am an enthused exhibitionist. I couldn’t wait to join them! My mind was whirling. We picked a spot, spread our towels, and I finally had a thought for Queen. Was she hesitant? Reluctant? Nervous? Scared?
She was naked! I’m still futzing around with my drawstring, and she’s standing there naked on a nude beach, folding her coverup like she hadn’t a care in the world. And smiling like a Cheshire Cat! My glorious wife is buck-ass naked in front of hundreds of naked folks, and she appears to be loving it!
I was going to rise up and call her blessed, but I’m not supposed to show erections on a nude beach. Baseball stats rolled across my brain! I finally dropped my shorts, and we were both naked! We did it! We’re naked! They’re naked! Everybody’s naked! I can’t recommend this experience enough! Fuck, it was exhilarating! Did I mention the naked?
So what do you do on a nude beach? It was a gorgeous summer day, and we enjoyed the sun. Gunnison is a pretty clean beach, and we enjoyed the sand. We people watched. Pretty common, except these people were naked! We walked along the beach, casually “on display,” and loved every minute of it!
My research said the “adult etiquette” was no public sex and keep erections under control. People walked and held hands. We saw an occasional kiss. Several guys had nice “chubby” cocks that were not fully erect. It was a bunch of adults, naked, “seeing and being seen.” Adults behaving like ladies and gentlemen. It was perfect!
So what about our sex, you ask? You’re so nosey. OK, let me tell you!
Obviously, given the etiquette, we didn’t fool around on the beach. But helping with sunscreen took on a new meaning! The incredible sexual energy of our first nude beach meant the drives to and from Gunnison were hot, the hotel sex was hot, and the sex at Queen’s sister’s house while visiting her father was hot!
One example was when her sister and husband went out to a golf event. We had the house to ourselves. I had a naked cigar and bourbon on the deck. Queen read naked on their porch. I went in and licked her pussy. She sucked my cock. We thought we heard the garage door open. I think they saw us. How’s that for fucking hot!
So where do we go from here? Oh, you have to stay tuned for that!
This story has been a long, sexual travelogue, with no real sizzling, detailed, sex scenes. That’s not my writing style, as many of you know. But the raw, sexual energy of this experience has fueled our passion and lust for each other! Queen’s character arc is on a tear right now, and I am one blessed Hubbie! See you on our next trip!

Q&H (sounds like a brand of sugar… but your stories are sweet so well named)
This story was so entertaining to me. It was also educational. I’d never thought of a character arc as a real thing in our lives. That’s very interesting. It made me consider my wife’s character arc… and my own related to nudity & sex.
Melody has also always been a good girl but she is also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse…. as am I.
Early on in our marriage she would never use a word like “pussy.” Neither would I. Now she loves to demand that I put “Fred” inside her “puuuusssy!” (She says it like that.) And now I will tell her as we are having sex how much I love fucking her sweet pussy with my big cock.
Here is another couple of examples of our character arcs: We are now at a tropical resort in Latin America. We have a deck that (we think) is very private. My wife n I have been out on the deck in broad daylight taking nude photos of each other and doing some heavy petting. Then we have made love (including oral) on our room’s King-size bed with the picture window wide open! My new bride & I, 30 years ago wouldn’t have done that. Nor would she have stripped in the car while I was driving and have me pull over for sex with her kneeling on the seat and me fucking her while standing. That is something that’s happened in the last year or two. (At wildlife refuges)
It feels like our sex life together has been greatly affected for the good by each of our character arcs. I wasn’t open to the idea of public nude recreation in the past but now I am. Melody still isn’t quite there yet. Maybe someday.
At this tropical hot springs resort there is no public nudity allowed but a lot of the swimwear is barely there. We have enjoyed meeting and befriending new people who are wearing very little. I am beginning to see (sort of) how nudism must be. And it was exhilarating to be out on that deck in the nude with my beautiful wife. Of course THAT nudity was foreplay too.
I really loved your story and how obviously real it is. God bless you. I pray that our marriages – with our character arcs – will continue to keep our sex lively and lovely!
Thanks, LM! Yeah, character arc and personal change/growth are real in real life! In a sense, sanctification is a spiritual character arc. It’s also important that you are “intentional” about change and growth, and not “complacent”.
Socrates said “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on the fighting the old, but on building the new.” Good advice about intentional vs complacent passion. Thanks for your transparent comments. We love to share and hear real life passion.
This is awesome Q&H! You’re a blessed man to have such a woman as your wife. I love the growth. I’m glad that the two of you had such a wonderful experience on the beach. (And on the deck 😉) Keep writing! I can’t wait to hear more!
KM, yes, I am beyond blessed! And “more” is coming! Blessings and passion to you.
Q and H, Can't wait to hear the hot, naked truth in your next installment. Very hot and thought provoking!
CP, thanks for your support, as always! More is coming, and I always try to be “passion-provoking”! Blessings and passion to you and FJ!
This story was HOT even without the detailed sex scenes! Thank you for sharing!! I can’t wait to read Part 2.
Hubbie here: Thanks, HN, we appreciate your good words, and hopefully more is coming! I think the “detailed sex scenes” are the “what” in MH stories (or any erotica). I think I am more engaged by the “why” behind them. I’m glad you thought it was hot.
Blessings and passion to you.
Great recounting of the experience. Having visited some nude beaches before to enjoy being out in the sun and sea, free of clothing, and having observed all the rules while there, I feel like the thing about keeping erections under control should really only mean not physically stimulating an erection. If erections come naturally without physical stimulation just by virtue of being outside nude and among other nude people, then my sense is there's no need to try to hide them. Would be curious what others think, maybe women in particular. Maybe some enjoy the sight of an erection?
Hubbie here: LH, delighted you enjoyed our travelog, and glad to hear you’ve been to similar places. I agree with you on “erection protocol”. We did not see any “rocket cocks”, nor anyone engaged in proactive enjoyment, if you take my meaning.
We did see some nicely “chubby” cocks; great to see at a nude beach. Our experiences at Gunnison were so nicely laid back and chill. As I said, “It was a bunch of adults, naked, “seeing and being seen.” Adults behaving like ladies and gentlemen. It was perfect!”
Thanks for your comment. Blessings and passion.
Thanks for the story Q&H. I have always been intrigued by nudist/exhibitionist activity. In a world of body image problems & self esteem issues, how was the experience, when you say, all shapes & sizes? How much George Castanza "shrinkage" was there? How many bellies over the genitals did you see, & were there long flat breasts lying down on big round guts (men & women)? I don't ask to shame, but to get a true idea. Most times nudism is described it is vague & not helpful to the timid who are looking for any detail of an excuse not to do it. I grew up self conscious of my weight, but now I am seeing, a lot, I can be the skinniest person in the room, & I've gained a few lbs. since our wedding night.
Also, when helping with sunscreen, I take it fingers & hands went everywhere they don't when clothes are on, or was that a no no? It would be hot to rub lotion on the wife's pussy & bottom in that public setting. Maybe a bit of a challenge the other way around, erection wise. Was this happening, or no?
If ever I could muster up the courage to go, & get the wife to, I would have to be convinced I would fit in. Thank you for the insight, lovely story, & very helpful.
Hubbie here: SCMM, thanks for the comments and thoughtful questions. Queen and I are traveling today and so I will have to wait to post “thoughtful” responses. Thanks for your patience, and more to come!
Hubbie here: SCMM, I am so intrigued by all the questions in your post, and it was too much for one response. So I’m gonna do them a bit at a time, and I hope I haven’t lost your interest. So, first, you asked …
“In a world of body image problems & self esteem issues, how was the experience, when you say, all shapes & sizes?”
Our experience was amazing! It “… was glorious! People of all shapes and sizes. No bathing suits, just birthday suits!” And “We’re naked! They’re naked! Everybody’s naked! I can’t recommend this experience enough! Fuck, it was exhilarating!”
This is best answered by thinking of the normal distribution graph, which is centered around an average. What we saw was average folks. Folks heavier than average. Folks lighter than average. But on the average, everyone was around the average.
We did not notice any shunning, or reasons for folks to have self-esteem issues. As I said, in my story, “It was a bunch of adults, naked, “seeing and being seen.” Adults behaving like ladies and gentlemen.” There were no “you gotta be perfect” police there.
Queen and I were walking along the beach, a larger woman walked out of the water, and a low-tide wave tumbled her. She was fine. We joked how “even low tide waves wanted to knock you down.” She had a nice smile and a pleasant laugh. She was lovely.
So how do you know if you would fit in there amongst all the shapes and sizes? You know because you go and you experience it and you assume that you have a right to be there. You’re not there for other folks. You’re there for yourself.
More to come. Blessings and passion.
Hubbie again: here is a background philosophy that we use, and I hope it helps you. At the very least, it should help you understand the foundation upon which we write.
These are generalizations, but I believe that naturalists have too much of a focus on being one with nature. And nudists seem to like to rebel against “textiles”, the wearers of clothes. We are naked, and I’ve coined the term “Nakedist” for us.
Nakedist means that Queen and I are naked for sex with each other. For passion with each other. Yes, we see other naked people, and, yes, they turn us on! But we use that turn on to bring heat to our marriage bed, and let me tell you, it fucking works!
You’ll see how this works out in my other stories, comments, and in my responses here.
Hubbie here: another one … “How much George Castanza "shrinkage" was there?” Such a great question, and I’m a screaming Seinfeld fan, so I remember this episode well! In a nutshell, it’s tough to tell because we didn’t know anyone’s “unshrunk” state. However …
(1) the ocean was cool, so I imagine there was shrinkage for those swimming, although that didn’t seem to stop them, nor did anyone appear self-conscious. I don’t know what’s going on in people’s minds, but this appeared to be a non-issue.
(2) we saw cocks of all sizes, and the normal distribution graph seemed to apply here also. We saw small cocks and a few big cocks, but mostly average cocks. I’m average size and felt right at home. Again, it was “no big deal”. (Good saying for penis size, no?)
Again, philosophically for us, we saw all kinds of naked bodies, and all the pieces and parts really did sexually turn us on, as you would expect! But our Nakedist focus leads us to take that sexual heat and bring it back to our marriage bed, and energize our passion.
More to come. Blessings and passion.
Hubbie here again, SCMM: Another one. You commented …
“How many bellies over the genitals did you see, & were there long flat breasts lying down on big round guts (men & women)?”
* I don’t remember any “bellies over the genitals or long flat breasts or big round guts. We could see everyone’s cocks and balls and pussies. Maybe some “more shaded” than others, but still hot.
* There were some “larger folks” there, with some larger stomachs and heavier general body weight, but no one really grossly obese. And not all breasts were perky and youthfully firm. But I love breasts, so it was a lovely voyeur’s smorgasbord!
* Remember the normal distribution idea. The majority of folks were of average body shape, some carrying more weight than they’d like, no doubt. But others were hotly fit. I will describe this more in an upcoming Nude Beach – Part 2 installment.
I hope this gives you a better general idea of what you’d encounter. You noted “Most times nudism is described it is vague & not helpful to the timid who are looking for any detail of an excuse not to do it.” I’m not trying to be vague, but the point is … go.
Blessings and passion.
Hubbie here, again: OK, SCMM, let’s see if I can succinctly wrap this up!
* “Also, when helping with sunscreen, I take it fingers & hands went everywhere they don't when clothes are on, or was that a no no?”
— yes and no. It would be inappropriate to feel each other up with only the intent of sex. It’s not inappropriate to apply sunscreen to your partner’s naughty bits, and everyone knows that happens. It’s where on the “sunscreen to foreplay” continuum are you?
— If I linger a little longer languidly applying lotion to Queen’s ass or tits, no harm no foul. If she gives my cock an extra coating of SPF, and makes sure it’s all rubbed in, so be it. I think people know it happens, they see it, and if it’s subtle, they’re turned on by it.
* “It would be hot to rub lotion on the wife's pussy & bottom in that public setting. Maybe a bit of a challenge the other way around, erection wise. Was this happening, or no?”
— yes, it probably happened, but we saw no “flagrent fouls”, so to speak.
— yes, I single-handedly saved Queen’s amazing ass from sunburn! We did not go further (to tits and cock/balls), but that will be rectified when we go back in 2024!
* “If ever I could muster up the courage to go, & get the wife to, I would have to be convinced I would fit in.”
— I get it. It’s a big step. We were nervous as well. Also, I can’t guarantee what you’ll find. I don’t know where you live, what beach/resort you’d get to, etc. I can’t even guarantee that Gunnison will be the same in 2024. I just know it was sexually exhilarating for our marriage!
Obviously, your wife needs to go, and you both need to be “in on the sexual adventure “! I don’t suggest going alone (it’s not about nature or no clothes; it’s about passion with your wife!). Nor can you really go if she doesn’t want to. That’s kind of counter-productive.
Unless things change, we’re going back to Gunnison in 2024. More than just a few times! We have our beach chairs, so not laying on towels, and next comes a canopy to stay out longer. It’s a lifestyle we want to embrace, and a huge source of fuel for our marriage heat!
I can’t convince you. Only you can convince you. Go. Enjoy. Then write about it here in MH!
Blessings and passion.
Very nice story! My wife and I have not been to an official nudist beach though my wife has stripped down at a regular beach a few times now in various stages of underdress which was very hot 🥵 so I get this sentiment 100%. Great job!
Hubbie here: Rev, thank you for your nice compliment, and it sounds like the experience you and your wife had being naked on a non-nude beach would make a pretty hot story here on MarriageHeat! I hope you will consider taking a shot at writing it.
Don’t worry about writing the perfect story. Take a shot at it, and the editors here on MH will take a shot at “smoothing it out”. It could end up being a pretty hot number!
Blessings and passion.
I took a shot and wrote a little. Hopefully they will publish it. Thank you for the encouragement.
I submitted 2 stories. They haven’t approved my first one yet but the accepted my second one to publish in February some time. That’s a long way off. lol. Not sure why it takes so long. I’m new here. Maybe if I post in discussion it’s quicker?
Stories should be submitted as such and not as comments; please reread our guidelines on comments and submissions accessible through the main menu.
The reason it takes a long time to get published is that a) we have a lot of great authors submitting stories, b) we are a fully volunteer-run site with limited time and resources, and c) we seldom publish more than one post a day. (If we get a huge backlog, we may do a few weeks of extra posts on Tuesdays, and maybe Thursdays.) Discussion posts are usually only posted once, at most twice, per week.
We don't approve every submission, but if there are problems we think you can fix, we'll set the post back to drafts with guidance to that effect.
I appreciate the info. I am still checking the site out and I hope my comments have been fine. You seemed to focus on my comments as perhaps being too story driven? If so I apologize.
No, no. Thought you were thinking of posting your story *in* the comments. Sorry if I misunderstood.
Thanks Q&H for the followup. I appreciate you taking the time to answer as you did. Really love that you point out how it is for your marriage sex/heat. That does help put in perspective, in contrast to nudists & naturists. It is a real testimony to the art of self control, we Christians seem to forget. I love it. Thank you, again.
I have been a nudist for about 4 years. It took my wife and adult kids, who live with us, a bit to get used to seeing "Dad's penis" around the house. But, even though no one has joined me, but my adult daughter and that seldom, everything around tge house is more casual. No problem for someone to use the bathroom while I shower, and the bathroom door doesnt necessarily need to be closed when using it. My son, never nude, will come out in his underwear, and my wife sleeps in her loose shirt and underwear, and isnt shy about anyone seeing her if she has to get up in the night. And talking about sexual issues with both of my children is far more casual.
A few months ago I went to Cypress Cove for an afternoon. An online friend who knows the resort well accompanied me. As we drove in the gate I could see a scattering of people, men and women, old and young, naked and clothed. We parked and got out. And the moment had arrived. I pulled off my pants and underwear first, then my shirt. I stood nude next to the car and the first thing I noticed was the wonderful feel of a gentle breeze on my penis and the sun on my back. I walked around the front of the car. My friend was there, completely nude. I gave a quick glance at his genitsls. His penis hung down over his scrotum, adequate but not porn star sized. Pretty much like myself. He also glanced at me. Then we looked back at each other's faces. He asked me how I was. I said, "I cant believe Im outside and nude in public." He took me through the head office, the gift shop and to the bookstore. I met men and women. The staff was mostly dressed but had absolutely no reaction to my being nude. I couldnt believe how normal it felt, completely nude, but shopping like I was at Walmart. Then we went to my friend's favorite place, the big hot tube. 15 people could sit in it without touching. And, nudity is required. I told them this was my first socially nude experience. Everyone was delighted and congratulated me. I sat on the side of the pool with my legs open wide to be sure everyone could see me before I got in. One woman got in who was young, curvy and with perfect bunnyhead shaped breast. I was stunned at her beauty, and the fact that I could appreciate her beauty without a bit of lust. I could look at her exactly as I do my daughter. That's one of the main things about the nudist community, nude but no lust. They have exploded the lie that our bodies are primarily sexual. Certainly, in certain situations, like with my wife, I am an erect excited sexual animal. But among nudist there is the innocence. There is less lust in that place than church on Sunday morning. I felt transformed. Here were people of all ages, nude and unashamed. Scores of people saw my penis, and I saw penises, breasts and vulvas, all with a pure heart. When it was time to go, I pulled on my clothes with a grief of regret that it was over. I remebered that at the end of the day God created Adam and Eve nude he said everything was "very good". And there is nowhere in the Bible where he changed that judgement.
Glad to see this story!
Jack has arranged an all inclusive resort vacation at a clothing optional resort!
Jill, surprisingly is agreeable! There are several weeks to go but the anticipation is quite stimulating for the two of us. Jack is beyond thrilled that Jill is even considering this!
Erotic jewelry and other scantly clad items for clothing required areas have been arriving in the mail like Christmas.
It’s mind blowing to anticipate the freedom of walking around naked in public with other naked people!
Stay tuned as the first story from JackandJill may be about this very subject!
I love this. I’m glad you guys are going to be able to enjoy something like this. Hopefully, you’ll decide to write about some sexy time sparked by your adventure. 😉
