Chapter 41: The Man in the Mirror

The following day was Friday and the last day of the semester for all schools in Pahrump, Nevada. It was going to be a very busy day for Vanessa Benson as she headed off to Pahrump Elementary School to begin the final preparations for the huge celebration taking place that night in a massive new sports arena just completed in the middle of the town. All schools in the area were taking part in the festivities in some shape or form. Vanessa was going to be working with her own sixth grade class who were representing their school with a couple of songs from one of Broadway’s many musicals suitable for such an occasion. Vanessa had also put the finishing touches on a fifteen minute speech she was to deliver on the positive effects of The New Way in Pahrump. That speech would be preceded by a speech from the young Janine Carlyle who was now forever labeled with the title of ‘The First Public Nudist of The New Way in Pahrump’. She had been the very first person in Pahrump to take all her clothes off in public in response to the mayor’s New Way initiative in which all citizens became free to be nude in public without fear of prosecution.

Since that moment when Janine Carlyle had gone nude in her classroom six months ago Lifestyle Nudism had become not just a ‘New Way’ but the ‘Only Way’ to live in Pahrump. The whole town had embraced the nudist lifestyle almost totally and tonight they wanted to celebrate that as a town before the Summer Vacation season kicked in.

That celebration had attracted some fairly high powered visitors too - one of whom was of course Senator Rebecca Arnold. This woman had single handedly spearheaded the whole Lifestyle Protection Bill that now saw Lifestyle Nudism as a fully protected lifestyle in the USA. This protection came complete with a whole range of sexual freedoms for all Lifestyle Nudists to freely practice in public and right across the length and breadth of America.

Unfortunately, outside of communities like Pahrump in Nevada and Cedarcrest in California all Lifestyle Nudists needed to wear an ID band either around their wrist or their ankle. This had only helped to slow the spread of Lifestyle Nudism down to a crawl if not a complete standstill. Somehow people just seemed to resist the idea of being forced to wear a tag just because they wanted to go about their day in the nude. However, in Pahrump no ID bands were necessary because the whole area had recently been legally listed as a ‘Nudity Required’ region. Anyone coming into the region was required to take all their clothes off unless they applied for an exemption and were issued with a compulsory ID band to validate their exemption. This new status for the town also meant that anyone living or coming into the place could also practice all the sexual freedoms Lifestyle Nudism afforded them. They could fuck and masturbate themselves and each other at anytime and in anyplace and in full view of anyone else around - and they did!

With today being the day of The New Way celebration everyone seemed to be in higher spirits than was normal. This meant that people right across the town were feeling slightly friskier than was usual too. This heightened sense of friskiness also just meant that public expressions of sexuality were also going to be that much more frequently observed and just that much more energetic in their execution. This was all going to be happening with a very strong sense of good faith by all the citizens with no one abusing this freedom or forcing anyone to do anything they did not want to do. Sexual acts on minors was also not tolerated at all - although this did not prevent any sexually aware minors from indulging in their own forms of experimentation with each other. This experimentation was mostly done covertly but every now and then the minors with a more forward disposition to things would go just as public as their seniors in their sexual indulgences. This never seemed to result in any form of prosecution but the young teens involved were usually spoken to and quietly educated into a more temperate approach to their burgeoning sex drive.
