This story took place half a lifetime ago, when I was just 18 years old and a senior in high school. I won't generalize about adolescents and their susceptibility to peer pressure; I'm sure there are some strong independent thinkers in the high school age bracket--but I sure wasn't one of them. I never had the courage to admit to my tastes and preferences whenever there was a strong consensus among my friends that I did not share.
This applied to music, movies, television--you name it. It was okay to differ about who was a better rapper or rock musician, but don't let anyone catch you enjoying a country song, not even a little. If you did you had to keep it to yourself, a private "guilty pleasure," lest you risk enduring the ridicule of the crowd. It wasn't until I was well into my adult years that I gained the courage to own up to my unpopular tastes.
As a teenager, one of my guiltiest pleasures of all was fat girls. It may be that I've simply m.atured, or it may be that the cultural zeitgeist has shifted toward greater acceptance of different body types since I was a kid, but all I know for sure is that not a single one of my male friends in school ever admitted to finding bigger girls attractive in general. I am sure some of them were sincere about their tastes, though probably conditioned by the self-appointed aesthetes of our society who choose the (in my opinion, disgustingly emaciated) cover models for fashion magazines. But I suspect others were like me--secretly admiring the big girls but cowed into silence by the fear of ridicule.
Being a secret fat admirer as a teenager had its pros and cons. The disadvantages are probably pretty obvious. The popular culture seemed almost never to cater to my tastes. Not being much for skinny chicks there was precious little wankable material out there in general circulation: from Playboy to the Victoria's Secret catalogue to the Sears catalogue, there seemed to be an anti-fat conspiracy; I was forced to use my imagination more than most.
On the other hand, there were some plusses to digging the plus-sized. Because it was rather unexpected at the time, a person could actually more easily "get away with" checking out a big girl. It was as if all the skinny chicks were constantly policing the available views of their T&A, and woe betide he who got busted scoping bustage. "Why'nch you take a picture, perve, it'll last longer!" But with the bigger girls, I found that I could sometimes feign a detached, spacey gaze into the middle distance when, in reality, I was positively memorizing a bit of cleavage or a visible panty line for later use. Where skinny chicks were taken in stolen glances, with bigger girls it was sometimes possible to literally stare.
One example was Mrs. Ruby (not her real name) who taught my senior algebra class. To this day, even with an adult's experience and hindsight (and even in light of the story I'm about to tell) it is hard to imagine that she knew how hard she was making me. Day after day I would have to choose a time, usually about ten minutes before the bell, to stop checking her out and just stare at my desk taking deep breaths and willing my hard-on to fade so that I'd be able to stand up from my desk after class without embarrassment.
Was she doing it on purpose? Hard to tell. Most of the guys in class either didn't find her attractive or, like me, didn't admit to it. If they got a bad grade or caught detention they would complain about "that fat bitch." But to me she was a goddess--size 20, with big f-cup boobs that could squeeze together and suggest cleavage even with a neckline in full compliance with the school's teacher dress code. She had a nice round belly and an ass that must have measured 60 inches.
And when she would help a student with a problem she was always bending over to look at their work. Sometimes she would stand in front of the desk, bending over and viewing their work upside down, giving me a glimpse of cleavage and, if I was lucky, a bit of brassiere. Other times she would bend over to look over a student's shoulder, giving me a chance to study that ponderous ass and, hopefully, visible panty line. And of course sometimes she would be at my desk, bending to help me--too close to get a visual, but intoxicating me with the mingling aroma of cosmetics and pheromone.
She was white, fortyish, possibly Jewish, and had beautiful, lustrous, long, straight black hair that shone like the kind you see in a shampoo commercial. Almost daily she wore bright nail polish and lipstick, fire-engine red or some other loud color. Her eyes were a shimmering black, like oiled, burnished ebony. She was always extremely well put together, with designer clothes that, only in retrospect, it occurs to me to wonder how she could afford on a teacher's salary.
I had a ritual with her. Apart from the random, sporadic occasions when we were working in class and I could steal random glances as she bent to help this or that student, there was an almost daily activity where she would, on request, work out a problem on the board from the previous day's homework. If no one else presented an appropriate one, I would pick out a long, complicated word problem and ask her to work it out on the board. This would make her turn her back to the class for a prolonged period and, if the problem took enough board space, eventually compel her to bend pretty low in order to finish it.
The best part was that the ploy was never implausible because the word problems were naturally the most difficult and most likely to require explanation. I would just sit there and gape at her enormous ass, salivating, heart pounding, cock throbbing. It was amazing. The only hard part (pun intended) was that this activity was usually close to the end of class and it would sometimes bump up against my ten-minute rule. But life is all about hard choices, and this ritual was quite worth the risk.
Then one day she caught me.
She had brought in a variety of circular objects of differing circumferences to demonstrate the discovery of pi. We all knew about pi from middle school, but she wanted us to discover it in the way our ancient Greek forbears must have done as a property of things circular, so she split us up in groups with tape measures and a Frisbee, coaster, coffee saucer, chrome hubcap, etc. One by one each group sent a representative to the board where they would prop their group's circular object on the chalk tray and demonstrate their results.
Then in the last quarter of class she erased the pi calculations and offered to do her usual demonstration of last night's homework. As usual, I picked a nice long one from the word problems section and raised my hand.
At first it worked the way it always had. Her lilting voice mingled with the squeaky staccato scrape of her chalk as she explained the steps in the solution, supplying a sort of warm soundtrack to this lovely dance as she worked further and further down the board until she was bent at a nearly perfect right angle. "Uh huh," I would say from time to time, pretending to listen, "mm-hmm," all the while staring at that giant ass, imagining myself coming up behind her, hiking up her skirt and yanking down her panties, thrusting inside of her, and feeling her big jiggly white ass slap rhythmically against my belly, moaning as I deposited every last drop of my virginity into her warm pink goodness.
That day I was particularly fixated: she had on a particularly flattering ecru blouse and khaki skirt. I was staring, staring, staring, completely lost in that luscious rump, when I vaguely detected something had changed. What was it? In my daydreamy state I couldn't be sure. Then I realized what it was. The room had fallen silent--the sound of her chalk and her New Jersey vocal cadence had both ceased, but I hadn't noticed (I could have used one of those canned record-scratch effects you get on TV shows). I heard her say, in the distinct tone of someone who is repeating herself, "Mr. Waylon (not my real name), are you still with us?"
Then I realized what was happening. She was still bent over, back to the class, but I suddenly found myself making eye contact with her in the reflection of the chrome hubcap still propped on the chalk tray from the pi exercise! There was no disguising what had just happened. I was staring hard at her big butt and she had caught me in flagrante. I could feel my face rapidly reddening, wondering if it was as obvious to the other students as it now was to Mrs. Ruby.
"Mr. Waylon?"
"Yes."
"Are you chewing gum, Mr. Waylon?"
Huh? What the hell kind of non sequitur question was that? Of course I was chewing gum! I always chewed gum in her class (her class was my last of the day, after lunch, and I self-consciously wanted my breath to be minty fresh if she ever came to my desk to help me with a problem). She had never mentioned it before. "Um," I stammered, a bit confused, "yes," I finally said, "yes I am."
She rose and faced me. "You do know it's against the rules to chew gum in class, don't you, Mr. Waylon." I was literally stunned silent; I just stared at her stupidly without replying. She strode up to my desk, extended a supine hand in front of my face and, with a snap of her fingers, said "give it to me."
This only added to my shock. "In your hand?!" I was incredulous.
"Spit it out, now, Mr. Waylon. And remain after the bell. You have detention." I took the gum out of my mouth and diffidently placed it into her palm. Pardon the hackneyed phrase but as she proceeded to drop my gum in the trashcan I understood what people mean when they say you could have heard a pin drop in the room.
