So far: Mark led a sheltered adolescence and arrived at Anthony College knowing nothing about sex. He was fearful of girls seeing him undressed. That passed quickly. Mark got a roommate, Jay, and a girlfriend, Janice. He lost his virginity and had a three-way with Janice and Jay. At Anthony, the women have most of the power and Mark is adjusting to that. He learned that upperclassmen could have alcohol, that nudity was allowed on campus, and that one of his dorm-mates was gay. He also learned that many of the upperclassmen had experimented with gay sex. CHAPTER 8: The all nighter When we got back to the room Jay and I both stripped to our underwear. It was the usual uniform for the guys’ dorms. We sat silently for a few minutes before Jay spoke. “So you want to talk about tonight?” he asked. I did and I didn’t. I had raised my hand about having had fantasies involving other guys. Jay had raised his hand first. I decided to shift to a safe subject. “Jack is certainly full of surprises, isn’t he?” That seemed pretty safe, and kept the conversation off of ourselves. “He’s very frank about having done stuff with other guys. He let Helen jerk him off in front of us. I don’t get any vibe that he’s coming on to me or you, or any of the other guys in the dorm. He kind of flirted with Drew there at the end, but made it clear that nothing was going to happen anytime soon.” I waited for Jay to say something.Jay replied. “I’m kind of confused here. They never answered Craig’s question about whether he might be isvecbahis gay. I’ll bet more guys than those of us who raised our hands have had some kind of dream or fantasy involving guys. I’m like Jack, I really prefer women.” My turn. “Me, too. But is that a preference instead of an absolute commitment? Jack made it clear that his was a preference. He doesn’t rule out doing something with another guy.” Jay sat in silence for a while. “My Dad, the shrink, talked to me about sexual orientation. If he ever had any issues with it I have to assume they’re resolved. Then again, he’s in his late forties. Dad said that people who are 100% straight or 100% gay are actually the minority. Very few people are truly bisexual and have exactly the same attraction to both sexes. Most people who claim to be bisexual actually prefer one gender or the other.” “Dad told me that most people are somewhere on a sliding scale between straight and gay. And most of those people are real close to the straight end. I mean, just think. If they weren’t the species might die out.” My turn again. “True, but is sex all about getting off or making babies, or is it about other things, too? Harold’s Dad told him the best sex was with love. Have you ever loved someone?” Jay admitted that he hadn’t. His high school girlfriend had been fun and he enjoyed the sex. He’d had sex with a bunch of girls before he got here, but hadn’t felt love for any of them. He paused then, started to speak, and then paused again. This went on for a couple of minutes. isveçbahis giriş I just waited patiently. “The closest thing I’ve had to love was probably my best friend in high school,” Jay finally admitted. “We did almost everything together. We even fucked our girlfriends in the same bed. All of our interests were the same. If I wanted to hang out it was with him, not with my girlfriend. She was all mushy and lovey and I couldn’t stand that. “We double dated. We went on trips together. We went camping together. We never fooled around with each other. If he had initiated it, I have to be honest. I don’t know what I would have done.” Jay stopped for a minute and then continued. “The last camping trip we took was shortly before I came here. We were by ourselves in the woods near a lake. We went skinny dipping, something we had done a lot with each other and with our friends. This was different. We horsed around in the water, splashing and dunking each other and acting like ten-year olds. When we got out of the water we both had erections. I know Jerome said that it’s natural to get a boner around other naked people, but I didn’t know that then.” “I tried to cover up my dick but Garrett said it was OK. He was hard, too. We dried off and went into the tent. Neither of us got dressed. Finally he asked if I wanted to jerk off with him. So, we jerked off together. We didn’t jerk each other off. It’s possible I would have done so if he asked, but he didn’t. We each slept in our own sleeping bags that night isveçbahis yeni giriş and never talked about it again.” This was getting pretty deep. We were revealing secrets about ourselves, and it was my turn to reveal. “I had a similar experience. Five of us guys always hung around together. One of the guys had a pool in his back yard. We would have sleepovers at his place and go swimming naked if his parents weren’t home. One night one of the guys said his dick was bigger than anybody else’s, so we compared. He was right. Then he started jerking himself, so we all did. When he was hard he was still the biggest. Then we all gathered in a circle in the middle of the shallow end of the pool. I don’t know what came over us, but all at the same time we each grabbed the dick of the guy on our right. I wouldn’t let anybody touch my dick, so I dropped out of the circle. The other four guys jerked each other off.” “So, what did you do?” asked Jay. I wasn’t sure I wanted to tell him, but this was a night to come clean with my roommate. “I jerked off by myself fantasizing that I was part of the circle. The guys came one by one. I came somewhere around the middle of the group. I regretted that I had been such a prude and wouldn’t let another guy touch my dick.” “The truth is that I kind of regret not taking part. We were all friends who had grown up together. We had seen each other naked on many occasions. The other guys had jerked off in front of the group but I never did. If I hadn’t been such a prude, I wonder if I would have had my first experience with a guy.” We continued for hours sharing secrets about ourselves. Some of them were silly, some were pretty deep. The sun was starting to come up when Jay went over and locked the door.
