I don't often play away without Dave my partner and I never have unsafe sex although for the purposes of my true stories, I usually omit the act of putting on a condom. Please play safe.

Matt was a guy I knew from the gym. Or to be more honest, someone that I barely knew from the gym that I joined when we moved back to the UK. I swim and so joined one of the few centres that had a pool within walking distance of our apartment and went every day before or after work depending on other commitments and my shift pattern.
Some days, Matt was in the pool and we exchanged a polite hello, not much more. Occasionally I would bump in to him in the changing area too. He was a private person and even as some were walking round starkers with gay (and straight) abandon, he was always wrapped in a towel, revealing nothing.
I guess he is around 30 years old, 5'9 or 5'10 and slim, not muscular at all, pretty smooth chest and swam in shorts rather than speedos so I wouldn't have a clue what he was packing. He was just a nice guy (as some at the gym are either too precious to exchange greetings or a little too keen). I totally assumed he was straight if I thought about his sexuality at all and that, like me, he just went to swim- as like me, he never seemed to use any other facilities at the centre.
One day in autumn I went for a walk, not too far from where we live, to explore what was a little further out of town. I knew there was a museum and marina but didn't know what shops, bars and restaurants there were and it might prove useful at a future date when friends visit and we can socialise overlooking the water. Most of the accommodation is either converted warehouses or complimentary new build apartment blocks and most have balconies with views across the marina.
I heard a voice shout down to me and I looked up. It was Matt. I replied, asked him how he was doing, made the usual polite small talk about not knowing he lived there etc and he invited me up for a coffee. I was soon in his first floor pad and the coffee was brewing. I hadn't even known his name before, nor where he lived in fact the only thing i knew was that he did breaststroke like myself and wore swim shorts in the pool!
We kept conversation polite and generally simple or about the sports club. It wasn't until I mentioned my other half that Matt enquired after my girlfriend. I slightly sheepishly corrected him and he was a little surprised but non fazed.
"I don't think I could kiss another bloke," he said.
"It's not obligatory!" I replied.
He chuckled a little. "Well at least that explains it!"
I asked him what he meant, thinking he may be offended that I spoke to him or that he thought I might be hitting on him but he smiled and told me, rather matter of fact, it explained why I shaved my cock. Now I don't wander round the changing room and generally keep myself to myself (although I don't hide away behind a towel either) but I wouldn't have thought he would have noticed, much less so comment on it. It turns out he thought all of the gay guys had shaved cocks (not so) and that nobody straight would do such a thing (doubly not so) and so the conversation strangely turned to the art of trimming and shaving body hair and pubes.
I explained my reasons for liking to keep my own areas hair free (personal preference, general tidiness as well as the fact that it makes my distinctively average uncut cock look a little bigger) and what I liked to see in other guys if the opportunity arose and Matt said he had never tried it and could see the logic of what I said but didn't fancy being totally smooth although felt a good trim was in order. And when I advised him to shave his balls to accentuate their size and shape and make him look sexier, he liked what he heard and asked me if I would help him with some topiary there and then.
