"Who cares, bro? It happens all the time somewhere," said Charlie. "I'm pretty sure most men in the world paid for their first time, they just don't talk about it as much."
"Which is why we think you should join us tomorrow night," said Gregg. "Charlie can get us in, and maybe we can see Melanie, Crystal, or one of the other ladies who you can pay for sex."
"And you can finally stop being a virgin at your age and jerking off to your sister's friends," said Charlie.
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being a virgin at 19. A lot of guys my age still haven't had sex yet."
"Yeah, yeah, I know," said Charlie. "But that doesn't mean those guys wouldn't take the chance to get their dick wet, no matter where it came from. You almost had your chance a couple of months ago."
"You had to bring that up, didn't you?"
Until a couple of months ago, Peter had a girlfriend, Tammy, whom he dated for most of his senior year. They had plans to lose their virginities to each other in the traditional suburban way of waiting until the night of their senior prom. They had planned everything that night so they could sneak off to a fancy hotel room and finally be with each other. That was until he found out that not only did she lie to him about also being a virgin, but she had been cheating on him most of the school year with two other guys. It turned out that she only dated him because he was someone her parents were more likely to approve of. She used him to show off to her parents in public, then fucked around with other people behind his back. He only found out because she got pregnant and had to come clean about who the father was.
"Sorry to bring up that mess; that was not cool of me," said Charlie. "But at the same time, you waited a whole school year to have sex with someone you actually liked, and it didn't turn out the way you wanted. So, you might as well get what you deserve and finally experience being with a woman, regardless of how you get her."
"And to put it another way, you have to remember that you're going to college in three months. You don't want to go there a virgin, do you?" Greg asked.
"I know it's not the ideal way to get laid, but if anything, it will help you get some practice before you go to college and meet those cute sorority girls," said Charlie.
Peter thought long and hard about it. He didn't like the idea of paying for sex, but they made some good points about it. He would like to finally get laid and do so before college. He was never good with women, only having a couple of long-term girlfriends throughout high school, and he didn't know how long it would be until he actually got laid on his own. He considered that Charlie may be right; it would be good practice for when he meets a girl in college and could pleasure her more.
"You're right; let's do this," said Peter.
Greg and Charlie got excited for him, and they all did a personalized handshake that only they and a few other friends know how to do.
They discussed what Peter had to do; he had to show up at the club at exactly 7:30 p.m. tomorrow night, a half-hour before they start charging an entry fee at the door. Charlie could let them both in after fake-checking their IDs, but they had to refrain from buying any alcohol. They have drunk beer and other kinds of liquor before, but they don't want people to start questioning why a couple of guys who look too young to be there are drinking. The bartenders and the manager will be OK with them being there as long as Charlie vouches for them, but they still have to keep up appearances.
Peter had to bring about $450 with him. $250 goes to the champagne court, where they will have extra privacy, and the rest goes to the girl for sex. Peter thought $200 sounded cheap, as far as he knew from what he had seen in movies or on television. He didn't like the idea of getting a cheap hooker because it sounded like he would get someone ugly or lousy at sex.
Charlie explained to him that the girls were already getting half of the money from the champagne court, so technically they were getting paid just over $300 for sex. He also explained how that amount of money is more standard than most people realize, and that's still a lot more than what an average streetwalker would make. He also assured Peter that all the girls there were pretty; they wouldn't be allowed to work there as strippers if they weren't. And that none of them would be lousy in any way at sex because then they wouldn't be getting any repeat customers. Greg also assured Peter that what Charlie said was all true and that he wouldn't be going back there if the girls weren't worth it.
Charlie also told him about some rules he had to follow. Among the big ones, condoms were mandatory, no kinky stuff without permission, no getting rough with the girls, and finally, no kissing the girls without permission. If any of the rules were broken, the bouncers would throw him out without a refund, and if they had to, they would kick his ass if the girls were hurt, and Charlie would have to be one of the bouncers to help them save his job. He didn't' think Peter was the type to do anything to the girls working there, but he still had to let him know about it.
Peter understood the rules, but his biggest problem was the no-kissing rule.
"It doesn't seem fair that I don't get to kiss her," said Peter. "I would like to be able to kiss the girl I get to have sex with for the first time."
"I know how you feel, bro; kissing during sex does help," said Charlie. "But it's not just the club's rule; it's also what the girls want. Kissing is too intimate for them, and no kissing helps to keep it more about business than pleasure."
Peter also didn't like the idea that it was all about business, but he had to admit that Charlie made a good point. For those women, they have to do it so often that they need to separate their emotions from what they are doing to keep it all about business, and kissing would be too much of an intimate thing for them to do.
After his friends left his house, Peter went back to spying on his sister's friends. He looked outside and saw that they were still there in the pool, except for his sister, Kerry, who was nowhere to be seen. Amber was still there, floating around in the pool; he wished he had some binoculars to get a better look at her.
Kerry finally showed up; she came out of the house with a tray of lemonade in her hands. She looked up at Peter's window, and he quickly moved away, hoping she didn't notice him looking at them. He was sure he couldn't be seen from their position and how he looked through the blinds, but he didn't want to take any chances and decided to just stop looking at them. He got a good enough look at Amber in her pink bikini to use later on anyway.
Later that night, he went over to Greg's house to hang out with him and Charlie while playing video games, and they continued to talk about their plans for tomorrow. Greg couldn't stop talking about Melanie and how he hoped to see her again; he even brought up asking her out, which made both Peter and Charlie very concerned for him, and Charlie had to give him a speech about not falling in love with a prostitute. Even Peter had to weigh in on that subject; he may still be a virgin, but he was smart enough to know not to get personally involved with those kinds of women.
TODAY
The next day, Peter continued planning out the big event for tonight with his friends through texts. He had never been to a strip club before since he was only 19, and in the state he lived in, he had to be 21. He always wanted to go to one of those places, and now he was getting the chance to go there to see some strippers and hopefully to finally get laid. He asked Charlie a few questions about it, and Charlie answered the best he could. But Peter kept asking more and more questions, to the point where Charlie had to personally call him to tell him to just relax and everything would be just fine. He said he didn't have to get laid right away when he got there; he could take his time. He suggested that, in the beginning, Peter just spend some time at the bar enjoying watching the strippers and maybe getting a couple of lap dances before he's ready to be introduced to one of the dancers who does extras on the side.
Peter realized he was just being a little too nervous about the whole situation. He had the whole day to relax before going there, and he would take Charlie's suggestion of just taking some time at the club to enjoy the show before he was ready to finally meet one of them for sex.
