[Caught in the Net] Spring Has Sprung
It’s May, finally, which means spring is here (you can keep your equinoxes, for me, May 1st is the beginning of the warm time). Granted, it’s rainy and windy here in Oakland as I write, but I now hold the knowledge of imminent spring in my heart. And also my pants.
As every year, I began the morning of May 1st listening to “First of May” by the inimitable Jonathan Coulton (that link takes you to a video of a live performance). The imminently sing-along-able chorus goes, “First of May, First of May, outdoor fucking starts today,” and I think that’s a sentiment we can all heartily embrace.
To begin, then, some pictures of beautiful people naked outside! Here’s a nice photo set of some of the adorable Abbywinters.com girls taking an increasingly nude hike, which is understandable, since walking does make one overheat and wish to divest oneself of clothing.
Fleshbot recently compiled a list of the Top 10 Amateur Outdoor Sex Videos, because sometimes you just can’t waste the time it takes to get a room. We can also thank Fleshbot for this collection of the Top Ten Springtime Videos, with lots of gardens full of lovely flowers merrily cross-pollinating, if you know what I’m saying, and I think you do.
While the lovely outdoor atmosphere in many of those videos is mostly incidental, you really have to admire the scenery in this video, unromantically titled “Romantic As Fuck.” Any couple that takes the time and trouble to reach such a lovely location in order to get intimate — and arrange to have it filmed, no less — deserves our accolades.
May 1st is, of course, the ancient holiday known as Beltane (or as my friend H. would rightly insist, “Bealtaine Lá”), and my own beloved wife wrote a marvelous article about the significance and history and modern celebrations of the day: “Beltane”, by Heather Shaw. When I first met her, she was working on that article; I flirted by asking if she needed, ahem, any help with her research, wink wink nudge nudge. And yet for some reason she agreed to go out with me anyway! So I have some positive personal associations with this day.
Alas, I failed utterly in my attempt to find any photos or videos of people dancing nude around a maypole! You’d think nudity and outsized phallic symbols with incidental ribbon bondage would be all over the internet, but my google-fu failed to turn anything up. You know what this means, people: get in your backyards and celebrate spring and upload those photos and videos so I don’t have this problem next year!
