While I was outside cleaning the terrace in the main unit the other day, preparing for a new guest’s arrival, I heard, OVER the Ipod music blaring in my ears, the kind of fake, high-pitched girlie-girl laughter one might hear in a bad soft-core porn movie.
I looked down toward the beach in front of the neighbor’s house and saw four fully naked, attractive young women laughing their fake laughter and building a giant sand penis. Then I saw one older, unattractive bald man FILMING them.
I admit, I couldn’t help watching. The scene was just bizarre…first, it has been unseasonably cold here, and this day was no exception. The sun was out, but STILL, it was far too chilly for full on nakedness. Second, while Tulum attracts the nudies and the hippies, this scene was just so unnatural and forced that it stood out much more than seeing some random crunchy-granola hairy man walking down the beach.
As I went back to my work, two of the women were hugging up on the unattractive man, giggling and running their french-manicured acrylics up and down his chest. My imagination portrays this man as a wealthy old perv with a skewed sense of the sexy from many years of watching porn, but I admit my own bias has the heaviest hand in painting that portrait. I’m not averse to pornography and think it has its place in a healthy sex life, but prefer scenes that feature people who look like people engaging in relatively normal activities. Not, say, four naked women building a giant sand penis while a man old enough to be their father films them. But that’s me.
One thing is certain, I’ve never seen anything this interesting in Playa del Carmen. I don’t know if they were all staying in the rental home next door, but at 2am, there was a lot of shouting and slamming of doors over there. Trouble in paradise?
What? No pictures???

I know, right? I should have run back to my house for the camera. I think I was in shock.

Brown chicken, brown cow. (Hum it…Oh yeah) Is there a secret class for oldies that allows them to do this? I’m quite happy, but what if something should happen when I’m like 62? The fight was probably about him not taking an afternoon nap and being able to provide “Suffient servicing of the guests” On second thought, I’ll drop that class. Wish I had photo’s of the “naked chick castles” me and Jeff would make to share with you.

Very interesting story. Its definitely one you can share at a bar or party. It will get everyone laughing. Just be prepared for the humorous question – do you have any photographic evidence.

Hahaha… that’s awesome. Like the others, kinda bummed there are no photos. Being a sex shop owner, porn is healthy and whatever toots your horn is okay by me… as long as there are no kids and no one gets REALLY hurt. You can make as many sand penises as you would like. Glad you got some action in your neck of the woods.

This is absolutely disgusting.
It was just some soft porn the like one sees on YouTube ot late at night on tv.
I don’t think the sacred spirits of the Mayas / Aztecs would appreciate, maybe these tourists will have an omen cast on them and end up like in the film “The Ruins”…

Hi Heather. My wife and I are at the beginning stages of our expatriate life change. I’m trying to chronicle the steps we are taking at http://expatriateplease.wordpress.com. I like your stories. Do you have any advice or websites that offer a full range of Mexico advice?
