I spent the next two days on Google, trying to make sense of what I had experienced when I blew the big tuba my landlady gave me. I put it in the corner (just touching it gave me a thrill, let alone feeling its massive weight--the fact that little old me could blow a horn this big...) and tried to ignore it, but the giant old tuba kept attracting my gaze. Aside from the couch it was the biggest thing in the room, and the couch hadn't brought me to a thundering orgasm.
I searched for fetishes. I learned that the tuba fetish was indeed a real thing, not a popular fetish but a recognized one. Balloons were more popular (I thought of the big balloons my landlady bought for me to blow up and pop to get my lungs in shape for the tuba), as were inflatables. People didn't just blow up balloons and inflatables, I learned; they fucked them as well. If tuba fucking was a fetish, I didn't find it on the Web.
Holy fuck, I thought, I have a tuba fetish! Well, that sure explained my long-time obsession with these giant horns, even if it didn't feel sexual until now.
I read a lot about fetishes. I wondered, as I'm sure many of you have (because if you're reading this, you're the same kind of perverted tuba freak as me, aren't you?), if there was something wrong with me. No, I learned: Fetishes happen, and no one can quite figure out why.
And really, as far as fetishes go, was this such a bad one? I didn't want to get whipped or beat up. I didn't want random guys to poop on me. I'd just be blowing a tuba. A tuba couldn't get me pregnant. A tuba wouldn't beg to fuck my ass and then never call me. Hell, I might even learn to make music, and wouldn't that be great? I could make people happy while making myself very, very, very happy.
The most important thing, to me, was knowing I wasn't the only one who had this unusual fetish. (I had a suspicion my landlord already knew that.)
If I was a freak, if I was a weirdo, if I was a puffy-cheeked tuba-blowing pervert--well, I was going to embrace it and be the best damn puffy-cheeked tuba-blowing pervert I could be! (And if you're reading this story, I hope you feel the same way.)
I followed my landlady's instructions, dutifully blowing up my big Tuftex 17" balloons (which got way the fuck bigger than 17 inches before they exploded; I know, I measured) to bursting every morning and every night. (I suppose I should write that as a separate story for the balloon fetishists!) I practiced on my tuba, and when I got the blowing down pat, my landlady started to teach me how to play some basic notes. I bought some brass polish and got that old tuba shining like new, much to her delight. I even took it down to Wendy's Wind Instrument Wonderland on Fairfax Avenue (it barely fit in my little hatchback car!) to have the dents taken out, which delighted my landlady to no end. (When I picked it up, Wendy herself gave my tuba a test-blow, and didn't that send a thrill through my body?)
I took tuba lessons from a cute guy who spent a lot of time staring at my boobs. I was always a little flustered at my lessons, and I think he thought that was because I was enamored by his manliness. If only he knew! (Which he sure the fuck never would.) When he commented that my 6/4 tuba was a big instrument for such a small person, I had to excuse myself and take a few minutes alone in the bathroom. I was a good student except for my embouchure. He said not to puff my cheeks. I puffed them anyway. Puffy cheeks, I was amazed to learn, turned me on like crazy. My own as well as that of other tuba girls.
The lesson following mine was a 40-something housewife who wanted something to do now that the kids were off to college. Her embouchure was terrible, too. Sometimes I'd stay and watch, and later at night, blowing--I mean *practicing*--my tuba, one hand on the valves, one hand in another place, a warm and wet one that had nothing to do with the tuba, blowing low notes that sent a pleasant buzzing vibration into my thighs, I would think of what she looked like blowing her tuba. Thank goodness for multiple orgasms.
Sometimes my landlady came to watch me practice. Whenever she did, later that night, I'd hear faint music coming from the direction of the house--music I later learned was a baritone after I blew one at Wendy's to see what it sounded like. I bet my landlady was playing one-handed, too, and the thought of her thinking of me... well, let's just say it gave me cause to pick up my tuba and blow a little more.
My life wasn't consumed by my tuba; I made friends and I socialized. They knew I played the tuba (no one could miss that giant horn lurking in the corner of my living room) but, aside from the obvious jokes ("You love to blow the big ones, don't you?") didn't seem to think it was anything unusual. For me, that was part of the thrill. It was like walking around with one of my tits hanging out and no one even noticing.
Speaking of my tits, I suppose I should tell you about mine, because the next part of my story concerns them. Given my tuba-tooting aspirations, I had always hoped to inherit my mother's slender frame, and I did... but instead of her beautiful little teacup breasts, I now fill a 34F bra. For those of you boys who think F-cup = huge hooters, I'm sorry, it doesn't. Cup size is the difference between the measurement around your ribs and the measurement around your boobs, and F is about six inches. A woman who wears a 40DD bra has bigger tits than I do (I know, I've played with them). Still, I'm far from flat-chested, and that, I feared was going to be a problem: My F-cup boobs stick out pretty far from my small body, and now, with my tuba fetish in full swing, I really wanted a sousaphone. The idea of blowing a big tuba that wraps around my body... wow, I'm getting wet just typing those words.
But... would I be able to fit a sousaphone around these colossal knockers of mine?
There was only one way to find out.
