Hedonism
II trip report
July 27-30, Negril, Jamaica
Audrey and I have discussed
Hedo for two years. For two years
we have read Denny's site and within that two years we had visited Negril and
bypassed Hedo. As is probably a
common experience, it sounded like a place that I wanted to go and a place
that she was not sure if she wanted to go.
For our yearly Negril trip we could originally only get away three days
and chose to go to Firefly on the Negril beach for our stay. Firefly bills itself as an "au natural" resort and
seemed to be a place to relax.
Well, about a month before our
trip, we found out that we could stay an extra day. To my dismay, Audrey called me at work and said "let's
book Hedo for part of our trip." I
was flabbergasted. But as
surprised as I might have been, I called Go Classy Tours and booked the trip
within minutes of hanging up with her.
Went up to Chicago the night
before our trip with only lunch sacks for luggage (small carry-on each) and a
blender to make "island drinks" with. We used drink recipes from this site and Chris Santilli's
book (The Naked Truth About Hedonism II) to indulge ourselves in our hotel, to
near oblivion, the night before our flight.
The next day we were up at 4:00 am to catch our flight.
We made a couple of "drinks" for the road and off to O'Hare
airport (left blender in car at hotel for those of you wondering).
Trip to MoBay uneventful.
Flight to Negril cancelled so "no problem" hopped another
flight with a different airline. We started our trip out at Firefly and you
can see a trip report from that elsewhere on this website.
Two mornings later after a fun trip at Firefly we were at Hedo by 10:00
am. I sincerely thought that
arriving so early we would have to wait for our rooms.
Believe it or not the room was ready and we were checked in
immediately. Walked over to lunch
buffet but it was closed until noon. Oh
well, I guess off to the nude pool.
We dropped our things in our
room and then walked the beach to the nude pool.
We were still clothed. We
each had a shot of tequila then off with everything. Within two minutes of our arrival Audrey had already made
several friends. If you have ever
met the kind of person that speaks with a country accent and immediately puts
you at ease and makes you feel like you've known them for a lifetime . . .
that is my wife. By the time I
had hopped in the pool behind her and gotten my naked ass wet, Audrey had
already met and knew the names of about six people.
The next 12 hours consisted of
several shots (woo woo and tequila) and at least a couple dozen frozen drinks
for each of us. We all
congregated in the hot tub during a long thunderstorm with at least a dozen of
our naked closest friends (all people who we had just met). Before we knew it
we had actually been in the pool or hot tub or grotto for about 10 hours
straight without ever leaving the area. When
we were finally kicked out of the pool for cleaning (about 8:30 pm) we took
the party (still nude of course) to the prude hot tub.
Later we would go to the disco and back to the hot tub.
If we thought we enjoyed the
first day, the second day was near a spiritual experience.
We have traveled far and wide and are truly a party couple when we get
out of our professional lives and away from the kids.
We have never EVER had as much fun as our second day at Hedo.
The only things that we can clearly remember are: nakedness, dildos,
blow up dolls, a "shy" single guy who was hung 10 inches flaccid
being chased by my wife with a 10 inch dildo, funny conversation and
outrageous antics.
The next day, which was our
last, was low key but again fun. We
flew back to Chicago at about 5:00 pm.
Now, I feel the need to answer
questions that I know some of you potential newbies may have.
SEX: Yes, there are
swingers at Hedo. While we were
there they were very active and pubic sex during the daylight was rampant
throughout the day. BUT this was
only about 5-10% of all couples there. They
were not aggressive and generally reasonable people.
A firm "no" will give them the message and they won't treat
you with any disdain. The other
90% of couples there (which includes us) were having good "clean",
albeit adult, fun. Everyone is
friendly and everyone at Hedo can find a niche, which is comfortable to them.
And besides the swingers, Hedo is a place where faithful couples can
indulge fantasies in public or private without ridicule (but usually with
encouragement) from others. There
is a fantasy for every couple at Hedo to be explored.
To put it in plain language Hedo is Fantasy Island.
No sex police to be seen.
Food: Average but what do you expect at summer camp for adults.
Clientele: Doctors,
lawyers, successful entrepreneurs, teachers, other professionals of all types,
pipefitters, hairdressers, insurance brokers, hospital administrators,
retirees. You name it, they were
there. Ages ranged from 25 to 65
with average age of about 40. We are 35. One couple in our nucleus of friends
was 65 and retired from farming in the Midwest.
They had never had a vacation before but you better believe that they
participated and had a great time in much of the poolside
"activities." There is
a place for everyone at Hedo.
Amenities: surprisingly comfortable. From previous trip reports we were expecting something much
worse. Our garden view au natural
room rivaled that of first class American hotels.
Service: possibly non-existent.
We did not go to Hedo for first class service. Hedo does not market
service. For service go next door
to Grand Lido. For fun like you
have never had it go to Hedo.
Lastly, many thanks to all of
those who made Hedo a life-changing experience: Kevin and Shannon, Dean and
Kathy, Cindy and Todd, Joel and Jennifer, Bill and Yvonne, Mike and Marcella,
Dan and Tammy, Martin and Vera and all whom we may have not mentioned.
