After I got home of course I jacked off immediately and fell asleep around 4:30 or 5:00 AM. I woke up around 8:30 so horny I could barely stand it. Another masturbation session did nothing to stave off my perpetual state of arousal, and the slippery feeling deep inside me excited me all the more. Secret sex. Forbidden sex. It happened.
After I masturbated yet again Tim and I began texting:
Me: Just woke up and I'm still horny as hell. Half wishing I had stayed.
Tim: Got called into work for an emergency. I was gone about 15 minutes after you left.
Me: Dude I beat off twice and it won't go away! Wow that was cool.
Tim: Yeah, definitely worth doing. And worth doing again some time.
Me: Like when?
Tim: I don't know. Don't want to push the issue. Whenever you want to I guess.
Me: When do you get back from work?
Tim: Don't know. This system is totally fucked up. Going to be here most of the day.
Me: Don't want to push the issue either but my head is spinning.
Tim: I hear you.
Me: I am up for another round whenever you are.
{few minutes of silence}
Tim: OK, well let me get this thing under control here and let's see what up for tonight if that's OK with you. If not, that's cool.
Me: Tonight is good.
Tim: I'll text you when I'm leaving. I live about 40 minutes from here.

Around 4:00 PM I got another text from him saying that he was about to leave and would be home around 5PM. After both of us danced around the subject a little, we agreed to meet at his house around 7PM.
This time was stranger than the first. You would think that it would be the other way around, but it wasn't. For a chick it definitely would be less strange and more comfortable the second time, but doing it with another dude is just odd in and of itself (at least to me it was!) so it had a certain weirdness and awkwardness to it. It was sort of as if I was fooling myself into thinking, "I'm going over to my buddy's house to watch a basketball game" except I knew that wasn't why I was there.
After 5 minutes or so of him telling me about what happened at work I asked him how he felt about what happened so far.
"I think it was great!", he said enthusiastically. "I remember back when I did this for the first time, I mean, had experiences like this for the first time. I guess with you being new to it...it sort of brings that newness back to mind so it's very exciting to me. And it's exciting to be a part of it for you and I am in a way honored that I am your first."
"It's exciting", I said rather emotionlessly. "But I have such a swirl of feelings and emotions going around in my head. I guess the main thing is that even though I don't know you all that well, I feel I can trust you and talk to you."
"Oh, no doubt Jake. You can talk to me about anything. Let's be honest. We've shared physical intimacy and even though it's just for fun, I remember feeling how much risk I had taken that first time. There's no unsucking a cock and there's no unfucking your ass. Once you've done it, you are different because that experience goes with you. It's a fun thing to take with you, but I know I have changed in ways much more profound than in simply a sexual way. But that adventure does come with its own special risk."
"Yeah!" I said, almost experiencing an epiphany. "Risk is the right word. It's very exciting and new and all that, but I feel like I am risking something. I don't feel scared...maybe I am a little scared", I laughed, "but it is hard to explain. It's as if I feel each moment is redefining who I am and that's unsettling. I am even more nervous now than I was the first time. That shouldn't make any sense but that's how I feel."
"I understand completely. When I first had these kinds of experiences, a big part of what I felt I was risking was exposing a secret side of myself to someone. Physically of course you are exposing yourself. Let's face it: performing sexual acts with another man is profoundly different than anything you do with a woman. Even penetrating another man...it's not the same because male and female bodies are different and they react differently and feel different obviously. And performing oral on a guy or having him penetrate you are off the charts different, right? So, yes, of course I understand that's a bit scary.
"At first, I was scared to enjoy it!", he laughed. "My biggest fear centered around how I felt about and defined myself. I remember the day after I had been with a guy for the first time, after masturbating about 10 times I started to calm down and really think about what I had done. I remember thinking to myself, 'oh my god what does this mean? I sucked his cock and I really liked it. He fucked me in the ass and I loved it, I mean I really loved it.' So I spent days trying to figure out how this was going to change me, wondering if people on the street looked at me and thought 'cocksucker!'. I really battled with my own persona and self image.
"So what happened?", I asked.
"A few days later Ron called me back, and we met for a few drinks, and basically we had a conversation very similar to what you and I are having right now."
"What did you do?"
"I went back to his apartment and he fucked me in the ass and I sucked him off!", he laughed.
"Very funny! No, I mean...how did you get through it? What did you think of yourself?"
"I realized that the only opinion that mattered was mine, and the only definition that was acceptable to me is that I am a man who likes to experiment and I'm going to continue to be a man that likes to experiment. I could not change the fact that I liked having sex with that guy and that it was not because I liked him, it was because I liked what we did. I liked the activity, not the person with whom I was doing it. It's a fine line. No matter what he did, no matter how nice or how cool he was, nothing would ever make me want to shop for groceries with him or any other man for that matter."
"Even though it's not a 'boyfriend' situation, I remember at first feeling a connection to Ron because he had a bit of power over me. All those secret desires were no longer secret. I remember feeling that slipping away but being replaced by desires and sensations that were very real and very good. And as far as being nervous the second and third time, what you are saying makes perfect sense and I also experienced something similar."
He paused and continued.
"The first time you do something, you can look back on it and say, 'it was a one-shot deal. I was drunk, I was tired, I was horny' whatever excuse you want to use. When you come back for more and you have all your wits about you in the daylight so to speak, it's no longer a fluke. I have to admit that second and third time were less comfortable than the first time for that very reason. But I also knew that I had to explore it further. It was a strange but wonderful emotional and physical journey. In a sense I pushed myself into having sex with men a few more times because I had to determine the basis for what was motivating me to do it in the first place. I was ready to embrace being bisexual, gay, or straight with all my heart. I just had to figure out which one I was. It turns out I love the physical side of it, but I don't feel an emotional attachment. So I am not sure where that puts me, but I'd call myself straight but adventurous."
"Straight but adventurous. That works", I said.
He continued. "I had to compare how I felt about men and women and see what was fundamentally driving my actions. And when it was all said and done, after 4 or 5 experiences with a guy, I felt more relaxed, more comfortable, and more able to enjoy the sex. I have quite a few gay friends and I see them in their relationships and I am very happy for them. But for me, for now, I like what men have to offer between their legs but that's where it ends. Their head and their hearts are for someone that wants much more than what I can give or accept. Oddly enough, it took having sex with men several times for me to realize that I am not gay. I love the physical experience once in a while, but a relationship with another man is totally different, and it's not for me."
I thought for a minute. "Do you continue to question your orientation?"
