Transvestia

There was a light on the patio but it still left things rather shadowy and we all went into the pool anyway. We did two exercises there which I'll pass over briefly as they were not of particular significance. First we each in turn floated on the water with the others on both sides holding us up. The idea was to learn to relax and depend on others (for the one floating) and for the rest to learn to support and feel responsibility for another since if they didn't the floater would go under. As the water was warm, the desert air likewise, the lights low, and some soft music playing this was something of a "return to the womb" experience which was warm, soft, comfortable, undemanding, safe and all problems solved by others.

The second exercise in the water involved one person standing in a circle of the rest and being handed around from one person to another several times while completely relaxing and going limp. This provided lots of bodily contact, support and responsibility for another and cooperation with each other.

At the conclusion of the pool activity we all climbed out, got our towels and dried off and walked back into the living room which had been gotten nice and warm with the furnace on. The lights were off except for some in the adjacent kitchen, the stereo was playing some Tijuana Brass and Paul had turned on a projector which projected a "light show" of multicolored shapes. and designs. We danced in the beam of this projector, some together ballroom style, some in couples but at a short distance as they do nowadays and some alone, but we all gave vent to our feelings and sensitivity to the music. The effect of the vivid designs on the bodies was intriguingly pretty but served another more subtle purpose. It provided another transition between being together fully dressed and together nude. We had all gone directly from the disrobing rooms to the pool in subdued light and from the pool back into the living room and the "dance." With the bright and moving patterns on the nude figures you really couldn't see where a breast or a penis began or stopped anyway as it was all too surrealistic.

As the dancing dwindled away Paul turned the projector off and the lights up a little and we had a break for something to eat about midnight. This was buffet style and we all milled around and helped ourselves. It was surprising to me how quickly the novelty of nudity wore off. Sure the women had breasts and no penises
