Okay, now that that's over with...

I wonder if we could 'advertise' wetlook as a survival method? Make sure that safety rules include a sentence about finding water to get into, as well as the fact that ifyour clothes are wet, then the water drying off them is doing the work of your sweat. I actually wonder how many of the heat sufferers thought 'Gee, I sure wish I had my swimsuit. I can't swim without it.'

Oh, the silliness of culture.

As an addition to my "boring" story: On the day I was hanging around on the riverside, there was a big happening in the Netherlands, called the "Vierdaagse". It consists of thousands of people walking 4 days in a row, about 40 kilometers a day. Part of the route was along the shore of the very same river I was enjoying.

While I was hanging around, keeping my myself cool and thinking "yes, this IS a good day to be alive", 20 kilometers upstream more then 50 of those walkers were brought to hospitals with severe hypothermia, sunstroke and dehydration. Two people have died, five more had to be reanimated.

My love of wetlook might be crazy and a bit embarrasing... But everything is relative...

But I'd take this any day over a forum where no-one talks at all. I don't have a big problem with glamour photos; I feel more comfortable with them as I can look at women without the feeling of guilt that you're watching people who were not aware of their picture being taken and placed here. The Webshots and YouTube posts are probably the best as not only were the subjects consenting, but I can better identify with casual fun than glamour, since it's real life and real life is real. Glamour shots are staged and thus not real.

What really makes this site however *is* the community and that's a good thing.

I can't tell you how much I agree. I watched the other forums for  while and found them a bit too sterile (right word?) for me. Here I thought I found at least some people that don't bomb us with glamour photos but tell us about their problems and about their happiness in relation to wetlook.

> Am I right in thinking this? If not, does anyone know of a forum that does have room for what I seek?

In that case, would you please take me along with you?

Ah, BTW, before I forget it, I loved to read your story. And I'm happy to know that someone else just like me likes to lay innocently at the waterline and then gets wet by waves caused by a ship.

3.1 Provide new information on a wetlook resource (web based or otherwise)

3.2 Provide new information on a wetlook event

3.3 Request information or material

3.4 Provide POSITIVE feedback on another post

According to those rules, my post was invalid. (So was the post of Anonymous, but that's not my point)

I've been browsing this forum for a while, and concluded that there is some room for other posts, like mine. We are people, we like to share. Not to excite each other, but just to feel we're not alone. To encourage each other in persuing our pleasures, to feel happy for  another when he or she's had a great time.

Am I right in thinking this? If not, does anyone know of a forum that does have room for what I seek?

In the Netherlands it is HOT these days. For two days in a row I've been out with my boat, on the Waal, one of the biggest Dutch rivers. Most of the time the water is flat, but about every 10 minutes a large cargoship comes by. What I like (and have been doing for hours and hours) is finding a small beach and lay down, right at the side of the water. When no ships were passing, I was just lying on warm, wet sand, but when a ship passed, its wake would be lapping around me. Some were small, just touching me, but others were big enough to wash around me and through my clothes. That happened about every 10 minutes, so every wave came as a complete surprise. Really: For much of the time I was lying on my belly, facing the shore and reading a book. I would completely forget about the water every once in a while, to be reminding by a wave breaking over my butt.

Since I like /getting/ wet more then actual /being/ wet, I took some sets of dry clothing, plus an extra set for afterwards, in the car. I like to stay busy, so when I wasn't reading, just enjoying with my eyes closed or smoking (sorry Martina), I found time to put up a tripod and camera and take some pictures. It was nice to play around with a camera: I had to keep moving from the camera to the water, getting in the water, getting out and feeling the water stream out of my clothes, then trying to handle the camera without dripping all over it. Child's play, really. Pointless, but harmless and fun.

Do you notice the black wire in some pictures? That's the remote control of the camera.

Stay wet (and cool)
