"As you know I can't get it up anymore."
"What?"
Bill was sitting with Paul by the pool. They had all breakfasted together. It had been such a glorious morning that Paul had suggested they take breakfast down by the pool. He had prepared it all and brought it out. What Paul had not expected to find was Bill and Ann had dispensed with clothes, indeed had come out of the house just like that. He had felt rather overdressed - in being dressed at all and had returned with the coffee completely naked.
It had been a very pleasant breakfast and Ann had insisted on taking the things back to the house and washing up. Paul had followed her with his eyes. Rather interesting to imagine Ann washing up in just a pair of rubber gloves - and nothing else. He had never thought of that! Paul had been tempted to go and peek. However Bill seemed keen to talk.
"Didn't you see?"
He was referring to his penis.
"Well, no... you were... well, you were in, you know, Ann's mouth when we were in bed last night."
But, as Paul thought back, he recalled Bill had been soft at the swimming pool. Had he not said something about wishing he could do that still when Paul had walked into the pool all hard? Bill had been soft, too, lying on the bed when he had come into their bedroom and then, later, the dripping, ejaculated penis he had so clearly seen, as he engaged with Ann, had been already soft. Leastways that was what he had thought. Was Bill telling him it had not been 'already' soft, so much as never having been hard?
"But you can still come, still ejaculate. I mean I saw..."
"Oh yes, all the feeling and that. I can come in mouth, her hand, I've even come in - well in and around anyway - the proper place though mostly because of her fingers, I just can't really get an erection with Ann any more, leastways sustain it where it matters. Frustrating to me. Very much for her. I mean she likes to be kissed down there and my tongue can be quite rigid but it's not the same."
It was intimate and private talk. Not at all the sort of thing Paul was used to. "I...I suppose not." What could he say?
"She does like... she does so like intercourse with... I mean she was so pleased you could get it up and was just so happy... we are so happy you agreed to come to bed with us."
"I was just... just so happy too."
"It was lovely, Paul. Honestly. I know it must seem strange but I was so pleased to have you there. Unusual, strange, for a man to want another man there with his wife but it was such a relief. I had such a view. I could see everything and had to do nothing - knew I had to do nothing. You were doing it all for me - and doing it very well, old man, if I may say! It's not that Ann does not let me lie back sometimes and she just does things but I always feel I have to perform in some way. It was just so relaxing watching you fondling her knockers, seeing your fingers at work and then your cock coming into play. I didn't have to try and do that. Your cock, so firm, just nosing into her like that; pushing in; and all the time I could feel Ann's reaction - she was loving it - the way she sucked my cock told me. Relaxing for me and yet exciting. I think I was even getting hard - harder anyway - and I could feel her liking that, could feel by her sucking, I... I'm not embarrassing you am I."
"No, no, Bill, not at all. It's something quite else. Not what I'd have expected with Ann not around."
Paul looked down and Bill looked across. Paul had felt it happening as they had talked. He had erected.
"Really? Oh, yes that's the ticket. To put it bluntly, old man, Ann likes a stiff cock and that's a stiff cock! Impressive really, at your age. If I can put it like that. Yep. that's a stiff one! And I do like the snowy hair - Ann says it must be what Father Christmas' prick looks like, you know!"
"She doesn't!"
"She does!"
"Can't you get it up yourself, by hand I mean."
"Not by looking at you!"
"Can you?"
"Yes, sort of, sometimes."
"So, if, say, a couple of young girls came across from next door in skimpy little bikinis and asked if they could have a swim and then afterwards hung the bikinis up to dray and came and sat on our laps and somewhat wriggled as they did so, would that do the trick?"
"Does that happen a lot?"
"No - there aren't any young girls next door but say there were?"
"You know, I'm not sure it would. I think I'd be too worried about getting it up to get it up if you know what I mean. I think I'd prefer watching you with them whilst I hid in the bushes or watched them in their bikinis next door through a gap in the fence or hedge. Perhaps them playing badminton. No pressure you see!"
Paul nodded. He understood.
"On second thoughts, let's ditch the bikinis and keep the badminton! You sure, Paul, there are no girls playing naked badminton next door?"
"Quite sure!"
"Pity. It would be a sight, wouldn't it? Lots of bouncing flesh and stretching as they raced around. Very athletic! Shall we have one a redhead and the other really dark?"
