“So, you one of those born again virgins?” I asked, “Or a real one?”
She blushed at that, obviously shy. “No, I’m for real, you?”
“Ditto,” I replied which seemed to surprise her for some reason.
“Seriously? You are too?”
“Yep,” I said admitting it as I took a sip of my drink. “So tell me, what’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this anyway?”
Ok, maybe it was a lame line, but it seemed to work as she laughed and appeared to relax. “I’m hoping to change that tag a little maybe. At least enough to not be so damn afraid or embarrassed about being one anyway.”
“Being, as in remaining a virgin then?”
Again she blushed nodding her head. “Not that I haven’t tried to change that,” she offered boldly. “Just never seemed to work out, and things kept getting in the way for one reason or another, know what I mean?”
Fact was, I did, and told her so. “Some of the classes looked pretty interesting,” I stated, waiting for her reaction. She again blushed, though without looking away as she sipped her own freshly served drink.
“Boy, you can say that again,” she added knowingly. “Some of which sound pretty embarrassing in fact, but I made a promise to myself if I was actually going to come here, that I would participate no matter what.”
We were interrupted shortly after that with the arrival of four other green-robed group members as had begun to happen all around us as people filtered in. It was just a few minutes before six now, and obviously most had just started showing up before it was time to do so. As Janet had indicated to me earlier upon arrival, it was the sudden emergence of a middle-aged very professionally looking woman who came up to the microphone that had been provided near the edge of the swimming pool. She was likewise wearing a white terry cloth robe, and waited patiently for everyone to settle down into their seats before she began talking.
“Hello everyone and welcome. My name is Carol Davies; I will be hostess as well as counselor and instructor while you’re here. I would now like to take a moment or two to introduce four other colleagues of mine to you who will be very much involved in several of the classes being taught, as well as acting as instructors in their own specialized capacities. After which, I will spend a few moments telling you what to expect while you’re here, what we expect from you, and what the schedule will be during your stay. If any of you have any further questions for me after that, we’ll spend a few moments of time answering those questions.”
There were two male and two female instructors who she first introduced, then began by having everyone refer to the agenda notice that everyone had been given upon their arrival.
“There will be several classes being held each day that you are here,: she began explaining. “Each of you will attend three of them each day according to the schedules provided for your particular group. A map, as well as the times of each will be issued to you daily. There is an hour and a half break during the noon hour where you can come out to the pool, take a nap in your room, eat lunch, or whatever you wish to do. But all classes will again begin at 2:00 sharp, and you are expected to be there, and to be there on time.”
Someone from the blue group raised their hand.
“Yes?” Carol asked.
“Um, it doesn’t say anything about what the class is, only what time I’m supposed to be there,” the young woman asked. Carol smiled; obviously this particular question was anticipated.
“And the reason for that is, we don’t want you coming to any of the classes with a preconceived fear or concern for the course or class content. Each of you will learn soon enough upon arriving to the class what that day’s subject matter is about, along with any assigned homework you’ll be expected to do back in your own rooms later on.”
Carol then reiterated the reasons behind the profiles we’d all filled out prior to coming here, the color-coded group assignments which would be the members of our own little groups we’d all be attending classes with.
“Now, as this is our first evening here together, we want you all to relax, have a good time, and hopefully get to know one another a little bit. And as the first rule we want you all to follow now, is to remove your robes, no hiding beneath them now. Feel free to swim, drink, and participate in the outdoors buffet whenever you get hungry. Beyond that, we’ll see each and every one of you at your assigned class first thing in the morning.”
Which I happened to notice for us on our schedule was 8:00 a.m., after a 7:00 breakfast assignment.
“No sleeping in here!” I said jokingly to my group, and then we all disrobed and began introducing ourselves to one another.
There were six of us in our group, three males, three females, though I noticed that a couple of the other groups were slightly larger with eight people in all in their groups.
Melinda as she introduced herself was a slightly overweight redhead with more freckles on her face and chest than I’d ever seen on anyone before. She was even more shy than Kate was, hardly saying a word except to give us her name.
Patty was a dishwater blonde who was on the opposite extreme, and certainly too skinny for my particular tastes with hardly any real noticeable boobs at all. She was also fairly short and just over five feet, and reminded me of a small child rather than a young woman who was a year older than I was!
Bill and Pete were the two other male members of our group. That “nerdy” definition fitting one of them perfectly. I had almost expected to see a pen protector in the pocket of the green robe he was wearing, along with several differently colored pens sticking out of it. But it was Pete who surprised me most of all. Here was a fairly tall, good looking kid that looked like some sort of super-jock just out of high school, which he was. The youngest of us at twenty, I couldn’t for the life of it imagine why he was even here. Explaining my own presence here wouldn’t have been nearly as hard to believe. But his was and I couldn’t even begin to put my finger on the why.
Eventually we all drifted off to get a bite to eat, returning with trays of all sorts food and sat eating, getting to know one another slowly over the course of the evening. Kate seemed to attach herself to me, sitting nearby which was fine with me as I liked her too. And I guess it only seemed natural as we’d been the first to meet. But she’d obviously been wondering the same thing I had been when at one point she leaned over to me discretely and wondered why a guy looking the way Pete looked would even need to be here.
I merely shrugged my shoulders however, letting it for now remain a mystery. I was sure that in time, we’d probably discover it, or he’d somehow share his reasons behind it with us. All in due time I supposed.

The following morning after breakfast, the six of us in our group showed up at the outdoor Amphitheatre where we soon were met by Amanda one of the female instructors. As we’d been previously told we were all again wearing our green robes and swim-suits beneath. It promised to be a warm day, so I was glad that I wasn’t wearing anything else beyond the suit and the bathrobe. We soon formed a small semi-circle sitting around where Amanda stood on the first row.
“Welcome to class,” she began. “And before we begin, it’s important for you to know that you will only have two opportunities to pass this class. Today, and then again on Friday if you don’t chose to participate today. And unless you do pass this class, you won’t be given a certificate. Now, just for being here and even attending the course, you’ll still receive your refund provided you attend all classes whether you chose to pass them or not. But you won’t earn a certificate, which I assure you, might not seem like anything, but will to those who do participate and manage to pass all their classes. Everyone understand all that?”
We all nodded our heads curiously. Then she removed her robe and stood before us completely naked.
“We’re here this morning to begin shedding our inhibitions and alleviating some fears about ourselves, and one another.” If I didn’t know what was coming, I did now, though I hadn’t as yet guessed all of it.
“I want each one of you to tell me at least one thing you find attractive about my body, and one thing you don’t find attractive about my body, and why to each of them. You are free to come and have as close a look as you’d like, touch me wherever you’d like as well. But then you must state publicly your feelings about what you do and don’t find attractive about me. After which, each of one you will in turn, undress, and stand naked before the other members of your group and got through the same exercise. Melinda was sitting next to me and I heard her anguished sigh upon hearing that, but surprisingly I heard Pete issue one as well.
I wasn’t exactly looking forward to hearing everyone tell me what they didn’t like about me either, but I knew the reasoning behind it and steeled myself for the inevitable anyway. I could also see by the look in Kate’s eyes that she wasn’t looking forward to this either, and spoke hoping to assure her. “Just think, if we get this over with here and now, then it’s done and we don’t have to think about going through it all over again on Friday.”
She seemed to smile at that, nodding her head in agreement. “Just try not to be too critical of me,” she whispered. “I know none of us is perfect, but it’s still hard hearing it.”
I had to admire our instructor. She had a large scar on her abdomen that she’d obviously received several years ago from some sort of surgery. Even after all this time it still had a faint purplish look about it that detracted from her otherwise smooth looking skin. But I also noticed that though she appeared to have nice breasts, one was obviously slightly larger than the other. What was difficult for me was that I didn’t really find any of that to be unattractive, though perhaps someone else would. She again wasn’t drop-dead gorgeous, but I certainly wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers either.
