I recently posted a story in which I mentioned that I have two lesbian friends. A reader emailed me asking how a guy could have lesbian friends and did I have sex with them. I never had sex with either of them, but this is how we met and became friends.
When I was twenty-six, I took a week off from work to visit my parents and my sister over the Christmas holiday. My sister and I went to church and when the service was over, I noticed a beautiful girl leaving. I asked my sister if she knew the girl.
"Yes, that's Ashley; she and her girlfriend are new in town."
"Girlfriend?" I asked.
"My girlfriends and I think Ashley and Connie are gay. They don't talk to anybody, and they stay by themselves all the time."
When my sister and I stepped out of the church, I saw Ashley and another girl speaking to a friend of mine, Mark Weston. I went up to their little group and interrupted their talking.
"Hi, Mark; how are you?"
Mark was surprised to see me and shook my hand vigorously. "Will! Long time, man, what are you doing back in town?"
"Visiting the folks for the holidays." I started to introduce myself to Ashley, but Mark jumped in.
"Oh, sorry, man; this is Ashley Dunham and her friend Connie Jenkins. Girls, this is my best friend from college, Will Norman."
"So, you girls are new in town?" I asked.
