I'd met Joan at a company function and we had formed a friendship in the subsequent weeks of casual dating. We had a mutual interest in art and the theater and enjoyed going out together. Although she was a very attractive lady there was nothing in our relationship other than the good night peck on the cheek as we left each other to catch our separate transport home.
A photographic display was scheduled for the local gallery, of black and white artistic classic poses, no details given of the nature of the pictures. It was with intrigue that we approached the gallery, having met at our usual coffee bar. There was no queue, but, what was unusual was the attendant at the door. We had to provide evidence of being over the age of twenty one and would be admitted as a couple, this was made obvious, when a single male and then a single lady were denied admission whilst we were providing the requested data.
It seemed unusual but we went inside to find the area main lights off and only strategic spot lighting on, we seemed to be the only ones in the gallery until we realized that all patrons were being carefully segregated from each other by turnstile gates. We followed the floor signs to the first turnstile and then the alcove which was vacant.
A glance at the picture made me start with embarrassment as the picture revealed a semi naked couple in a very compromising pose, I heard Joan's sharp intake of breath at the sight of the sexually explicit nature of the photograph, I turned to say maybe we had made a mistake and should leave the exhibition, but seeing the open mouthed look of lust on Joan's face I hesitated. She turned to me and asked if I was turned on by the picture, when I affirmed that the picture intrigued me to some extent she took my hand, something she had not done before, and suggested we explore some more. Having made this decision we preceded to view the rest of the pictures. By the time we had finished I had an erection that was difficult to conceal and by the flushed look on Joan's face she was excited by the whole display.
Emerging into the night air we decided that a coffee was in order and proceeded to our normal venue. Having secured our usual booth, which not only gave a degree of privacy from being overheard but also from being seen by the other patrons. Joan was the first to raise the subject of what we had just been exposed to, how sexually arousing she had found it all and that I seemed to be similarly affected given the physical signs I had shown. I blushed and admitted that all the scenes had been to my liking but normal people seldom had the opportunity to indulge in such practices.
Then to my delight Joan said that she indulged in the privacy of her flat, to many of the things we had seen, but not of course to the joint activities that some pictures had portrayed, due to the a lack of a suitable partner. It was my turn to admit to some of the delights that we had enjoyed viewing together and broached the idea that we could maybe indulge ourselves. Joan looked away and I thought I'd gone to far, but she looked sideways at me and from under her long lashes gave me a look that thrilled me to the core, so full of sexual fervor was it. She asked whether I had any of the things that we had observed in use, I said that I owned a collection of the male items plus some mutual bits and pieces.
We arranged to meet on the Saturday and would then go to Joan's flat which was self contained as she thought we would be better off than at my rented rooms, and a nosy land lord i the offing. During the next few days I purchased what I considered expendable items for our projected session. Having placed my items and contributions in an overnight bag I caught the train and was soon knocking on the door to Joan's apartment. She must have been watching as I had hardly knocked when the door opened and she was letting me in, the light from the hallway was behind her and she was in silhouette but I could see she was dressed for the occasion already, something I'd not been able to do traveling by train as I had.
