This was Ireland in the 70's and nobody talked about sex. Sex didn't exist! Ask the Protestant clergy or the Catholic priests. They would tell you, "all in good time, when you are married." Condoms were unavailable anywhere in Ireland and certainly not in the country district of Northern Ireland where I lived for a time.
Mind you, for the poor girl who did get herself pregnant it was a mortal sin and the girl and, to a lesser extent, the boy, went through hell. Such was the degree of ignorance from the Church and from schoolteachers.
So, at the age of eighteen, when I arrived from England I was a little taken aback with what I found. It was like going back in time. I was employed by a British company with branches in Ireland and I had been seconded to one of their offices in a country district of Northern Ireland.
I had been found some lodgings in a house in a village near the town of Dungarry. I remember arriving at the house and knocking at the door. A pretty girl opened the door and I said, "hello, my Name is Steve Howe." A voice from inside said, "let him in then. Let him in." It was the girl's mother.
She introduced herself as Mrs Carey and her daughter as Miss Carey. You have got to be joking I thought, if you think for one moment that I am going to call your daughter Miss Carey!
"Maureen, take him up," ordered mother. "This way," said Maureen and I followed her up the stairs. My bedroom door was opened and I gratefully sat on the bed. "It's been a long day," I said. "So you are Maureen! Are you going to show me the nightlife around here"? "You have got to be joking said Maureen. This place is dead. Dead, dead, dead!"
"All we have is a cinema in the local town and a weekly "hop" at the village hall. Anyway my mother keeps a close eye on me and she wouldn't allow me to be seen with you."
"Why, what have I done," I said? "You are a boy and that is quite enough for her!"
"Sorry, but I can't help that," I said. Maureen smiled and then her mother called her again. "Yes - see what you mean."
"Keeps a very close reign on you doesn't she"? But Maureen was afraid of her mother and had already disappeared.
I took a bath and eventually went down to see if any supper was on offer. "Not for another hour," said Mrs Carey, so he went upstairs once more. Someone was in the bathroom and I heard the bath running. Then the door closed and I realised that it was Maureen and she had returned to her room. I decided to go down again and when I opened his door something white was on the floor. I picked it up and it was a pair of Maureen's knickers.
I smiled to myself. This was a great opportunity to "break the ice!" I knocked on her door and she opened it only to find me standing there holding her knickers up with both hands by the waistband so that it was quite obvious what they were. Maureen blushed crimson and snatched them from him and slammed the door.
The three of us sat and had supper and Maureen cast me an occasional glance and blushed at the same time. I just grinned at her and was careful that mother didn't see that we had already established some sort of relationship, however hostile!
When Mrs Carey left the room to get the dessert I leaned over to Maureen and whispered, "I've heard of ladies dropping a handkerchief in the street for someone they fancy, but this is ridiculous!"
"I will never speak to you again," she hissed. I grinned again and Maureen was secretly thrilled at having a fun loving boy in the house.
Although she was herself eighteen, her sex life so far had been just about what one might expect in a narrow-minded community in rural Ireland. A fleeting kiss at the weekly dance in the village hall by a boy who had no idea how to treat a girl and the odd quick "grope" round the back of the cycle sheds!
Maureen went upstairs to bed and got undressed in front of the mirror. Quite a nice body she thought! A bit overweight but really nice boobs and a very pretty face. She had lovely hair which was slightly auburn. She looked up at the poster of James Dean that her mother had surprisingly allowed her to pin up in her room.
Often she would leave her light on and allow James to make love to her. She would tease him by undressing in front of him! Then, once in bed busy little fingers would skilfully arouse her and alone in the bed she would achieve her orgasm. All the time James Dean would be watching her.
She looked up at him again. "Not tonight darling," she said and the light was put out. Maureen was fantasising about Steve and although they had only just met, she was imagining him doing the most exciting things to her.
Next day I reported for work and returned in the evening in a company owned car that had been made available to me. "I suppose you will have to leave it outside the house," said Mrs Carey, with little enthusiasm. Maureen was impressed with the car but knew that even if Steve did fancy her, that her mother would not approve. I knew that I would have to tread warily and was careful to speak to Maureen only when we were alone together.
We met upstairs and I said, "I wouldn't mind seeing the film in Dungarry," the local town. "What is it," said Maureen? "Haven't a clue," I said, "but I thought it would be nice if you showed me the way and I could treat you."
"Mother would never approve," said Maureen. "I'm not asking your Mother," I said and Maureen started to giggle.
I collected Maureen in my car from a pre-arranged place a couple of blocks away and we arrived at the cinema. I paid for the tickets and took Maureen by the hand to find our seats in the dark. We continued to hold her hands after we were seated and she allowed me to do so.
The film was boring but they were together and both of us were secretly pleased to be alone with the other. We left before the film was finished and I suggested a short walk in the park. Once more I held her hand and she didn't object. When we arrived at a dark corner I made a move on her and held her by the waist. She struggled to release herself. This, after all was Ireland and casual sex, even kissing on the first date, was considered to be too daring!
I sighed and released her. "OK," I said, "play it the hard way but in the end you won't be able to resist me."
"How arrogant you are," she said and demanded to be taken home. Before she got out of the car I squeezed her breasts playfully and she was duly shocked! I dropped her off before they reached the house. We didn't want to get found out before we had really started to get to know each other.
Later on we briefly met on the landing upstairs before going to our respective rooms. Maureen was fearful that she would lose him and he received a fleeting kiss before she darted into her room. I knew then that I was going to enjoy seducing this gorgeous girl.
I knew that Maureen did like me and I certainly adored her. Like many Irish girls she was very pretty with lovely red hair and gorgeous breasts and I really felt so lucky that she fancied me. Anyway, I felt sure that in the end she would give in to me!
We were often in the car together without her mother's knowledge and my hand would wander every time And every time Maureen would say that she was "a nice girl" and would I please behave! Each time my hand was allowed to be on her knee or on her breast just that little bit longer before she objected. Maureen was weakening!
Then one day she lost her resolve to be "a nice girl" and she did it in style!
The car wasn't very big but it did allow us to sit comfortably in the dry and indulge in heavy petting. We would "French kiss," (very daring). This time when I put my hand on her knee she kissed me instead of objecting.
My hand started on its journey but still Maureen's legs were tightly together. But this time I was allowed to reach the tops of her stockings. The poor girl was clearly excited because she put her cheek against mine and instead of blocking my way with her hands she put both her arms around my neck. I could hear and feel her hot breath on my ear.
My hand reached its destination and her knickers were positively wet and I knew that she was very aroused. I rubbed her pussy through her panties with the back of my fingers.
At this point Maureen had no more fight left in her and she surrendered!
She parted her legs and began to put hot little kisses over my mouth and face.
Her knickers would not allow my fingers through, which I was desperate to do and Maureen lifted her bottom slightly so that I could pull them down a little. My busy fingers were inside her hot little vagina but her knickers were now down to her knees and not letting her part her legs, as she was eager to do.
I made to pull her panties right down and she eagerly helped me. They were around her ankles. She lifted her legs and made it obvious that she wanted me to take them right off.
All this time nothing was said but it was obvious that Maureen was not going to be "a good girl" this time! Her face was flushed as we sat down in the car again and she put her cheek against mine and held me tightly. Her arms were around my neck and her legs were wide apart and Maureen just "let go."
I could feel and hear her heavy breathing against my ear as she gave in to the wonderful sensation of being masturbated by a boy friend for the first time
