You’re probably wearing something right now.
I don’t mean to call you out. I’m sure it’s very nice. Maybe it’s soft old cotton washed a hundred times, molded to your body like a second skin you’ve forgotten is there. Maybe it’s scratchy, something you bought on sale and never quite loved, and right at this moment, there’s a seam digging into a place seams were never meant to dig. Maybe you’re naked. If you are: hello. The air feels good today, doesn’t it? A little cool, maybe, depending on where you are. You can feel it moving between your legs if you spread them just slightly, that faint current that makes your skin remember it’s alive.
I’m not judging either way. I’m just saying: you’re probably wearing something.
And you probably don’t think about it.
Why would you? Clothes are just ... there. Like walls. Like roofs. Like the assumption that the sun will rise and gravity will hold. You put them on in the morning (if you put them on, maybe you sleep in them, maybe you don’t, maybe you’re one of those people who kick everything off at 3 AM and wake up tangled in sheets with your bare ass in the air, and honestly, good for you). You forget they’re there until something reminds you: a tag that itches, a zipper that bites, someone’s eyes lingering too long on the shape of you underneath.
My great-grandmother, Elara, used to tell me stories about the before-times. That’s what we call it here: the before. Before the Thermal Accord of 2092, before the last modesty ordinances crumbled, before the sun finally touched every inch of skin without anyone getting arrested for it. She was born in 2027, which sounds like ancient history to me, but to you might sound like ... I don’t know. Last week? Next year? Time’s weird like that.
The point is: she remembered fabric.
Not fabric as a choice. Not fabric as fashion, or weather protection, or the occasional costume party where people put on old clothes just to remember how it felt to be trapped. She remembered fabric as law. As an obligation. As the thing that happened to your body the moment you stepped outside, like putting on armor before battle, except the enemy was ... other people’s eyes, I guess? Their discomfort? Their ability to see a nipple and simply continue living?
I still don’t fully understand it. Neither will you, probably. But that’s okay. The point isn’t understanding. The point is feeling.
And I want you to feel this.
The sauna door hissed shut behind me, sealing in the thick, wet heat like a mouth closing over skin. That’s how I’ve always thought of it, not as a room, but as an embrace. The kind that starts gentle and then deepens, pulls you under, makes you forget where you end, and the warmth begins.
Steam curled in slow spirals. It caught the low amber light glowing from cedar panels overhead, turned it into something almost liquid, like honey suspended in air. Every breath tasted of hot wood and mineral water and that faint, intimate musk that always blooms when bodies surrender to warmth. You know that smell? If you’ve ever been in a crowded room after rain, or pressed against someone on public transit, or woken up tangled with a lover on a summer morning, that specific human scent, not quite sweat, not quite skin, just ... alive. That’s what the sauna tasted like. Alive.
Grandmother Elara was already seated on the upper bench.
Seventy-eight years old, and her back was still straight as a transit rail. No hesitation in her body, no apology. Legs parted comfortably the way everyone does now, not performatively, not to make a point, just because that’s how legs work when there’s nothing between them. No towel beneath her. No modesty wrap. Just skin meeting scorched wood, the way skin has met surfaces for millions of years, the way it was always meant to.
Her silver hair clung damp to the nape of her neck. Droplets traced lazy paths down the soft slope of her breasts. I watched one form at her collarbone, gather weight, then slide. It paused at her nipple (dark, relaxed, the way nipples get when they’re not being asked to perform anything), circled it once like it was saying hello, then continued its journey over the gentle roll of her belly to disappear between her thighs.
She looked at peace.
I mean that in the largest possible way. Not just comfortable. Not just relaxed. At peace. Completely at home inside her own body, no flicker of self-consciousness, no sense that she was being watched or evaluated or found wanting. She’d earned that, I think. Seventy-eight years of living in a body that had been told, for the first forty-five of them, that it needed to be hidden. That it was dangerous. That its existence in public view could cause ... what? Riots? Moral collapse? The end of civilization?
I climbed up beside her.
The bench seared the undersides of my thighs that first delicious sting of contact, the heat shocking and welcome at once. It kissed the cleft of my ass, pressed against the soft inner skin I still think of as private even though nothing is private here, not really. I exhaled long and slow, letting the heat sink deep into muscle and bone. Into places I didn’t know needed warming until they were warm.
My own skin responded instantly. Gooseflesh rose along my arms and flanks, which makes no sense, right? Goosebumps in a sauna? But that’s the body for you. It doesn’t care about logic. It just reacts. Nipples tightened to hard points, reaching for the steam itself like they could pull it inside. Between my legs, the familiar liquid warmth gathered, not urgent yet, just present. A quiet promise. The body’s way of saying: I’m here. I’m alive. I’m paying attention.
“You’re quiet today, Lira.”
Grandmother’s voice carried that pleasant rasp of decades of desert air and laughter and, I suspected, a fair amount of screaming at political rallies in her youth. The kind of voice that had stories built into its texture.
“I’m listening,” I said.
Half a lie. Half of me was listening. The other half was already drifting inward, following the rivulets that slid from my collarbones down the inner curves of my breasts. They teased the undersides, hung there for a moment, then dripped free onto my belly. Each drop left a trail of heightened sensation behind it, as if my skin was waking up one nerve at a time.
“You were telling me about the old mandatory-coverage laws again last week,” I added. “I keep thinking about them.”
She gave a small, dry chuckle. The kind that knows things. “You young ones always circle back to it like it’s some forbidden fruit. It wasn’t sexy, darling. It was exhausting.”
“Tell me anyway.”
She shifted; the bench creaked under her slight weight. Another bead of sweat, this one from the hollow of her throat, traced a path down, following the faint blue vein there like it had somewhere important to go. It veered left at her breastbone, circled her left nipple in a perfect glistening ring, then fell away.
I watched it the way I sometimes watch raindrops on a window. Hypnotized. No reason. Just following.
“When I was your age, well, a little younger, maybe sixteen, the last of the old ordinances were still clinging on in certain districts.” She paused, remembering. “Schools. Government buildings. Any place labeled ‘family-sensitive.’ You could be fined for indecent exposure if your nipples were visible through a sheer top. Or if your shorts rode up and showed the crease where thigh meets groin.”
I tried to imagine that. Failed.
“Can you imagine?” she continued, as if reading my mind. “Measuring hemlines with rulers. Arresting women for breastfeeding without a cover. Men getting cited because an erection made an obvious ridge in their trousers.”
My clit gave a small, sympathetic throb.
Not from the shame, I don’t think I’m capable of feeling shame about that, about any of it, thanks to her and everyone like her. From the sheer strangeness. The alienness. The impossibility of a world where an erection was a crime, where the shape of a body under fabric could land you in trouble. I parted my thighs a fraction wider; the hot air rushed in to kiss the slick inner lips, cooling the wetness there for one exquisite second before the steam wrapped it again in humid velvet.
“How did people stand it?” My voice came out thicker than I intended. Thicker than just heat would explain.
“They didn’t know any better. Or they were afraid to admit how much it hurt.” Her gaze drifted to some private distance, not the wall, not me, just ... elsewhere. A place inside her own memory. “My own grandmother, your great-great, the one you never met, used to tell me stories from her childhood in the twenties and thirties. Everyone wore layers even in summer. Brass that dug into ribs like wire cages. Panties with elastic that left red welts around the waist and thighs. Jeans are so tight they leave you bruised after sitting too long.”
I winced. Bruised. From sitting.
“And the heat God, the heat.” She shook her head slowly. “She said sweat would pool inside the fabric, turn sour, and chafe until skin broke. Yeast infections were epidemic. UTIs from trapped moisture. And always this low-grade humiliation, this constant awareness that your body was something obscene that needed to be hidden.”
Something shifted in my chest. Not quite anger would come later, when I understood more. This was something earlier. The first stirring of disbelief that grew into something sharper.
I let my right hand drift down.
Casual. The way we all do when the body asks for attention, which is often, which is normal, which is no different from stretching or scratching an itch. My fingertips grazed the smooth mound, then slipped between the folds already swollen, already slippery. I circled my clit with the lightest pressure, just enough to send a slow ripple of pleasure up my spine. The motion was unhurried. Meditative. Grandmother didn’t even glance over.
In this room, in this city, in this century, self-touch was no different from stretching a stiff shoulder. You don’t look away when someone stretches. You don’t comment. You certainly don’t feel the need to leave the room.
“I tried on a reproduction corset once,” I said softly. “In the history lab last semester. They let us, for educational purposes.”
She nodded, unsurprised. “And?”
“Within thirty seconds, my ribs ached. My breasts were shoved up so high I could barely breathe. And between my legs...” I paused, remembering. “The boning pressed right against my pubic bone. Every time I shifted, it rubbed my clit through the fabric, rough, insistent, like someone grinding against me without asking. I hated it.”
“But?”
Trust her to hear the but before I said it.
“But my body reacted anyway.” I could feel the heat rising to my face, which was ridiculous. I was naked in a sauna with my hand between my legs, and I was blushing at a memory. “I got so wet the reproduction drawers were soaked by the time I tore everything off.”
Grandmother laughed a real, throaty sound that filled the small space and bounced off the cedar walls. “That’s the betrayal, isn’t it? The body doesn’t care about ideology. It just wants a sensation.”
My fingers moved a little faster now. Sliding through the thick cream that coated my entrance, dipping just inside to feel the soft, hot walls flutter. The wet sound was faint but unmistakable in the close, air-slick, rhythmic, intimate. Steam carried my scent upward: sharp citrus, warm musk, the faint metallic tang of arousal.
I didn’t try to hide it. Why would I?
“Yesterday,” Grandmother continued, settling more comfortably against the bench, “I was thinking about the day the Thermal Accord passed. 2092. I was forty-five.”
I knew this story. She’d told it a dozen times. But I never tired of hearing it, and she never tired of telling it. Some memories need retelling. Some moments need to be kept alive through repetition.
“They repealed all clothing mandates in public spaces, with safety exceptions only. No more fines. No more arrests.” Her voice softened, went somewhere younger. “People celebrated in the streets. Naked. Fucking in parks, on rooftops, right there on the light-rail platforms. Not because they were horny, but because they could finally breathe. Literally.”
My breath hitched. Two fingers deep now, curled against that swollen front wall, thumb still working slow circles over my clit.
“I stood in Catalina Park with thousands of others and felt the sun on every inch of me for the first time in my adult life. No waistband cutting in. No bra straps are gouging shoulders. Just air.” Her eyes glistened with sweat or tears, impossible to tell. “And I cried. Not from joy, exactly. From relief so deep it hurt.”
The heat of the sauna. The heat inside me. The heat of her words. They all braided together until I couldn’t tell where one ended and another began.
“I can’t imagine it,” I whispered. “Having to cover everything. All the time.”
“You don’t have to.” She reached over, laid her palm flat against my thigh. Not sexual. Just a connection. Skin to skin, the simplest communication. “You were born into the afterlife. That’s the gift we fought for.”
Her hand was warm. Soft. Faintly calloused from decades of living unshielded, gardening, climbing, swimming, all the things hands do when they’re not wrapped in gloves. The touch grounded me even as pleasure coiled tighter, low in my belly.
My inner walls clenched around my fingers. Each thrust made a small, wet sound that mingled with the hiss of steam vents. My nipples ached hard, flushed, begging for touch I didn’t give them yet. I wanted to draw it out. Let the slow burn build until it consumes me.
Outside, through the fogged glass, I could hear the city.
Distant transit hum. Laughter from the rooftop garden one floor down, someone’s party, someone’s gathering, someone’s ordinary evening with friends. The soft slap of bare feet on tile in the hallway. Normal sounds. Naked sounds. The sounds of bodies moving freely through space, unselfconscious, unafraid.
This is what they fought for, I thought. This ordinary Tuesday. This laughter through walls. This woman beside me, old and unashamed, her hand on my thigh while I touch myself.
