New uses for seran wrap

Jun 24, 2008 09:45

Last night, I went to the KC Clay Guild to get my piece ready to be bisque fired. Near the end of the evening, my pal Todd told me we were all going over to his friend's house to hang out in his hot tub. I remembered the skin doctor told me earlier that day, after he silced off two moles, "do not take a bath or go swimming until your skin is healed ( Read more... )

The other woman there was in her underwear and sitting in the hot tub, with her arms tightly crossed to cover her breasts. The guys were either in underwear or shorts. How can you relax if you are worried that someone might see you?

I agree. Yeah, what's the point? These people would've been horrified to see some of the hot tub parties I've been to...

Yeah, it was dark, you can't really see anything in the water. Who cares. I think if I would have been that concerned, I just wouldn't have gotten in. At one point, after I realized everyone had on some clothing, I said something to my pal Todd, and he took off his underwear. Then I told him to stand up so I could see his butt, and then I told him he had a nice little butt. I don't see it really as a sexual thing. The "host" told me next time he'd be naked for me. Uh, okay. It wasn't really about being naked "for me"--I wasn't wanting to check out the goods or anything. I think it's funny when people talk a big talk, but then get "shy" over being naked in front of people.

If the people at the party had as delicate sensibilities as you suggest, why were they sitting in the hot tub, looking uncomfortable in their underwear? Somebody so sensitive would be better served to say "No thank you, I didn't bring a swimsuit" when presented with this dilemma.

I can say with some certainty that bestill is no exhibitionist, and neither am I. You don't have to be an exhibitionist to be comfortable with your body.

some people just don't like looking at other people's naked bodies much, especially people they don't know. some people just... don't enjoy it.Well, I guess I'm seeing it from a different angle than you, or a different reason for it happening. I was naked because I wanted to get in the hot tub--I didn't have a swim suit, I didn't want to drive home in wet clothes, and I was told we were all just going to "hot tub"--when I asked "naked?", the reply was yes. I don't see the big deal. The point isn't to look at other people naked or for them to see me naked. I could care less what they look like without their clothes on, or whether or not they have clothes on. I'm not staring at them or trying to sneak a peak. But it was a surprise when I was told everyone was going to be naked, and then no one was but me. But really, I didn't care. If they felt better wearing their underwear, fine. If the woman felt uncomfortable in the hot tub without her top on, then she should have either not gotten in, or left it on (she got in with it on, and then ( ... )

Oh, I guess with a free account, you can't edit your comments anymore. I didn't mean for the whole thing to be in italics! I just meant to italicize your comments that i was replying to.

be careful of too much neosporin or ointment and bandaids. when i had that abscess thing on my frontispiece last summer, it seems when i used neo and bandages, it was worse, and healed slowly, even started to get a little nasty. keeping it clean, including getting it wet in the shower, and lots of airDrying, seemed best.

i've noticed i don't even want to go for massage anymore. )-:
i've become uncomfortable in my skin. yuk.
although i would rather be all naked then part naked (or wear sleeveless things! ha ha!)

it doesn't sound like those people were much bothered by you being naked. they sounded more bothered about being partially naked! strip and relax!

I wonder if your abscess is different in terms of healing. The doctor told me to keep it covered with a bandaid. And I have to keep it from getting dried out, so I have a special lotion I have to put on it. So it sounds your is the opposite of mine. Maybe because mine is completely surface, and yours was kind of internal (kind of). But I remember from the last one that was removed, it was very painful if it got too dry.

I bet you don't want to get a massage, etc., just from all of the "stuff" you are going through. My massage therapist is excellent! And if part of it for you is you don't want to feel "exposed", she does a great job of draping. I never feel like I'm uncovered or hanging out anywhere. Maybe even though you don't feel like it, if you treated yourself to one, it might do wonders for you. Let me know if you want her number.

yeah, now i am remembering that when i had moles off a couple of years ago, they told me to not let them get dried out. i think i was good for a couple of days, but then sort of forgot about them and just washed and dried. i think they came out ok!

mostly massage just isn't in my budget lately ... )-:
but you could tell me who she is anyway? things could change!
i wouldn't mind going nekkid swimming though! i miss that!
