Back in 2003 my friends and I were looking for a resort to go for a week. My Jamaican coworker told me about a place he frequents when he goes back called Hedonism II. At that time, I didn’t even know what Hedonism meant. I looked up their website and learned that Hedo is a clothing optional resort.
I talked to my friends about the resort and we were skeptical, at first. Would we be ok with getting naked in front of strangers? Would we be ok with getting naked in front of each other? Oh what the hell!!! Let’s step out of our comfort zones and go for it!
In preparation for our trip, I decided to buy a book called “The Naked Truth about Hedonism II”. It’s kind of a “what to expect” book. In the book we learned simple tips like bringing your own large mugs so you don’t have to refill your drinks as often (their cups are tiny). We also learned that the place was frequented by voyeurs, swingers, etc. Still, we decided to go and have some fun! We learned, too, that the people at the resort were accepting of lesbians. We’re good to go!
When we booked our flights we were supposed to fly to Ocho Rios and then take a puddle jumper to Negril. Due to bad weather in Miami our flight was late getting to Ocho Rios. This meant we had to take the bus to Negril since they don’t have lights on their runway. This turned out to be the better way to go anyway since we made some friends on the ride over. After a stop at a dive bar for a Red Stripe we made it to Hedo.
When we got there, we went to our rooms to deal with our luggage (we way over packed for this trip). The hotel and beach are divided into the “nude” side and the “prude” side. We booked a room on the prude side to stay within our comfort zones. In the book it states that women can pretty much go naked anywhere on the resort but men had to at least have shorts on the prude side.
We get settled in and decide to walk to the beach. This is when my friend, N, decides that it’s now or never! If we’re going to get naked, now’s as good a time as any! She whips off her shirt. The rest of us chickened out that night. We start walking along the beach and see a sign that reads “Nude Beach; No photography beyond this point”. We see a couple having sex on a lawn chair about 30 feet from us. Acting like school girls, we giggled and ran away. That was the only sex, besides in my room, I witnessed on this trip.
The next day, the rest of us got up the nerve to strip down. Once I did that, a monster was created!!! I loved being able to go outside for a smoke in the morning and not get dressed. Until that day, I had never even been skinny dipping before. Once the monster came out, I didn’t want to put clothes on the rest of the week. Too bad it was clothing required at the buffet and restaurants.
The Water Slide….The resort had a water park style waterslide that was open until 2 a.m. Every night at midnight we would all meet at the slide for a little “naked butt slide”. You would not believe how fast you go on a waterslide when you don’t have any clothes on!! The landing pool for the waterslide was a treat for everyone that was in the disco since it was just on the other side. You can dance and watch people dropping from the slide.
On Tuesday we decided to book a naked cruise, snorkeling, and cliff jumping excursion. So my 1st time snorkeling and cliff jumping was done in the buff. For the cliff jumping I was extremely nervous that my breasts would slap against that water, sort of like the way a belly flop feels. I am a DD so I was concerned about this. I decided I would just hold them during the jump (yes I have pictures and not you can’t see them). This worked great and I noticed the guys were holding their junk when they jumped too.
On Wednesday, we went on a river walk excursion. This was off the resort so clothing was worn. We get through with our river walk (pretty uneventful), have lunch, and the tour guide starts leading us back to our vehicles. We’re on a trail in the woods and walking over man-made bridges when there is one. On the last bridge before we get to our taxi, one of the planks is not attached to the structure. I was walking behind the guide who happened to miss the plank. I, however, did not. I stepped on it, it moved completely and I fell through. I landed on my tail bone on some rocks. I’m not a small woman so how I even fit through is amazing to me. I was banged up pretty bad and probably should have gotten stitches in my shin but didn’t.
On Thursday, I’m pretty bruised and cut up but I don’t care. I’m on vacation, damn it! Besides, there’s plenty for me to drink to take the hurt away. I decided to be a judge in “The Male Bodies in Motion” contest. Basically, it was a bunch of guys that lined up and put on their best dances moves for all of the judges. Most of them didn’t touch us. One guy decided that he was going to grind on me. That hurt a little but he had my vote! That night was the Toga Party. My friend, J, got 2nd place with her cowboy boots, country belt and buckle, cowboy hat and water guns. Now, picture all of this with a Toga. The guy that beat her looked like the pope in his Toga garb.
The rest of the time was spent on the resort going from buffet, to bar, to nude pool with a swim up bar, to “the naked butt slide”. Even with the accident on that Wednesday this was, hands down, the best vacation that I’ve ever been on. I hope to return to Hedo II someday.
