This is what sometimes passes for an icebreaker at the Cherry Lane Nudist Resort in North Adams, secluded among farms on the state’s south side, where adults can wander naked and free, like overgrown babes in the woods. The resort is like a typical RV campground where people can swim, barbecue and hang out. Only difference is, everyone’s naked most of the time.

I was so in my element that all the insecurities I brought on board were gone by this point. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that swinging requires looking a certain way: the name of the game is confidence, and I was seeing that being myself is all I need. Wednesday

Pretty much anything goes out there,” said Bevis, noting that he never visits that part of the resort. “I don’t really get too much into the details. If people are swingers or nudists I really don’t care.” Indeed, he’d just returned from a six-hour round trip to Flint to see a longtime member of the resort who was on her deathbed. She had cancer, was in hospice, and had no family other than her adoptive one here, led by the Rev. Bevis, godfather of the nudists. Of course, having the kind of sex most people only get to fantasise about didn’t hurt either. Friday Most are social informal chatty hangouts on weekday evenings.

Come make bi+ friends, hang out, chat, have fun; see, learn and take part in some bi / LGBT+ culture, history, and activism; and feel part of a community in a (usually) free-to-attend, casual informal environment. Would you like to see my Twinkie?” a 43-year-old woman named Lexi asked a newcomer during a break between songs. This could’ve meant anything. As Rob and Laura's week at Desire drew to a close, their own hope of finding a couple to “play” with was dwindling. But they had one last arrow in their quiver. A couple they'd been chatting with over the past few months in one of Desire's online forums was set to arrive—Mike and Tina, physical therapists from Washington State. Oh, sweetie,” said Tina, putting an arm around her shoulders. “It's okay. Don't worry. We like you guys, too.” When I married I knew that my partner had partaken in sexual experiences with men. As a teenager he had experimented with other teenagers, and then continued dabbling as a young man. After all, , I thought, his father is gay, his parents divorced when he was three, his mother on her third husband; he must have been sexually confused. All good. We fell in love and we married, had two kids, a dog and two cats. We started off as artists but soon plunged into more stable positions so that we would have steady incomes.

Salted and sun-kissed, we returned to the cruise ship in time for erotic games by the pool for the chance to win teeny tiny LLV bikinis. Of course, as Daniel notes, not everybody is here for sex—you've got plenty of standard-issue nudists, and also people just drawn by the edgy atmosphere. “Only some are swingers,” he told me. “Others like the freedom of hanging in the pool naked.” The appeal is pretty broad, actually: It's a tranquil destination where you can step outside of everyday life. There's an open bar all day and night and a slew of naked people you can flirt with and maybe have sex with. Think of it as Vegas on HGH, a place to let your id off the leash. “The demand is large and growing,” one longtime Desire Pearl staffer told me. “People want ultimate freedom. We provide it.” We are a safe, friendly, social environment for bisexual, biromantic, pansexual/romantic, polysexual, queer, fluid or other non-monosexual people (aka. m-spec, bi+). Bi-curious / questioning people and supportive partners, friends, allies also welcome: but please learn & understand (at least) the basics - don't ask the same biphobic questions we get outside this safer space or make equivalent assumptions of anyone here. How she got into it:“I grew up with this idea that there’s not just one person for anyone and that we can enjoy being with multiple people, as well as the idea that you can have sex without having emotion tied to it. My husband knew that I was bi-curious when we met, so on the anniversary of our first date, we decided to explore and went to a swingers club.” As the scenery changed from the endless blue sea to the jade mountains of Bora Bora, we were both so overcome by the beauty that we couldn’t help but go to town on each other.
