It was spring but the air was cool. Friday meant two days away from the stress and strain of the office. The two couples were sitting outside an ice cream parlor. The place was small with three tables inside and seven outside. Because of rain earlier in the evening there were fewer people walking the plaza. Cathy and Brenda worked in the same office, as customer service reps. Phil was a sales manager for a liquor distributer. Jim was a drug rep for a major pharmaceutical company.
Jim, Cathy, Phil and Brenda finished watching a movie and decided to stop at the ice cream parlor. Each was busy eating their ice cream. Cathy and Brenda looked over their banana splits.
"Looks almost as good as you honey," said Cathy to Jim.
Jim who was licking on a double decker cone, smiled.
"Ok here is the question for the ages. Who is responsible for having condoms the man or the woman?" said Cathy.
"I would hope both partners have them; he in his coat pocket and her in the bed table; that is if you are in the woman's apartment," responded Phil.
"Ok then whose do you use, the woman's or yours?" asked Jim.
"Well if this is a situation where a condom would be needed the woman would go to the bed table drawer and have the packet available. The woman needs to remain in control," said Brenda.
"Brenda, what do you mean by condom situation?" asked Jim.
Brenda had her arms around Phil's neck. She kissed him twice. "If you have gone out with a guy several times and decided that having sex with this person is a good thing; the first time is a condom situation. It is only after several months that you have sex with out protection. I mean you still have birth control but you decide to forgo rain coats," replied Brenda.
Cathy's hand slips under the table and rubs Jim's inner thigh. "Having sex for the first time with someone is a sticky situation; pardon the pun. As a man you want it but you might not want to push it. Women have cut the balls off of males to the point that we are confused," said Jim.
"So you were confused when you and I did it for the first time. I don't remember you being confused or feeling that your balls were gone when you made love to me the first time. As I remember you had your shit together and took care of business," said Cathy.
There was a little laughter from the other couple. The group fell silent but Brenda stood up and kissed Phil and then Jim. "I enjoy sex with the right people. The tension that is built up and then released takes care of my stress."
Phil reached under the table and slid his hand up and down Brenda's leg. "Building a tent down there Mr. Major?" asked Brenda.
"What if I am," replied Phil.
"Nothing, but it will be awhile before I can do something about it, darling," said Brenda.
"I can deal with it," said Phil.
"Next question: Use condoms for oral sex?" asked Cathy.
"Oral sex is a very touchy subject. Many folks have pre-marital sex but there is a significant number of both men and women that think oral sex is sinful," said Brenda.
"I know but the question is does one us condoms for oral sex?" asked Cathy.
"I hate hate hate oral sex with a condom. I know that you need to be careful, but the taste of latex and lube is a turn-off," said Brenda.
"You know that there are condoms that are not lubed. Holding the rubber in your mouth and applying some negative pressure and watching the cock put the rubber on is fun," said Cathy.
Several more people came in to the shop some got cones and walked into the night other sat at the tables both inside and on the patio. Brenda and Cathy polished off their splits and the two men finished their cones. There were parents with young children and the group decided to take a walk.
They passed a bar but the band was too loud so they decided that Phil's place was where they would pick up the conversation. Phil offered a sample of a new single malt whiskey as an inducement.
Phil poured the whiskey and everyone settled and got back to discussing the various sexual etiquette issues.
"So Brenda where did you and Phil have your first sex, his apartment, your place or a hotel?" asked Cathy.
"My first sex with a guy is always at his place. If the date goes south, I can call a cab or get a UBER and get out. So Phil and I did it at his apartment. As you can see it went well and I love his tool. I know that I surrender some control but the few times that I have needed an escape it worked out for me," replied Brenda.
"How many times has a hook-up gone south on you and what kind of escape clause did you use, Cathy," asked Phil.
"I was on an arranged date and it went well up to the end of the evening. The guy seemed nice and I thought what the hell; it looked like he had nice equipment and I was in the mood. I discreetly checked my purse to make sure that I had some raincoats and we went to his place. He was a little uncomfortable at dinner but I decided that it was nerves. It turned out that I was his first attempt to have sex. I wanted some loving but I did not want to teach a guy at that time and I suddenly decided that I had a test to study for and he took me home. Jim was nice, we did it at my place the first time no need for an escape clause."
