The title of course is misleading; my first penis continues to be my own. This tale barely mentions my second, which belonged to my teenaged wank-off buddy Lenny, as both of us messed around with each other as horny, small-town adolescents.
But somehow "My Third Penis" just doesn't make for a captivating title, however accurate it might be. The adjective "first" does cover just about every other aspect of this event, which happened some forty years ago in a vastly different sexual climate.
I had had a rough first semester at university and had saddled myself with not one but two incomplete papers to finish or else I wouldn't get credit for those Fall term classes. Both professors were profoundly unhappy with my written efforts, their comments on my papers scathing. A lot of reworking was required.
I had gotten accepted into an elite university and was in over my head. My mental skills were plenty good, but the wealthy, private-school educated students were so much better prepared for academic work than I. My confidence was shaken. The papers loomed. Failure was not an option.
It was January and I knew if I stayed at home that all manner of distractions would intrude, and I would have a hard time getting things finished. I needed quiet and solitude to focus, apply myself, and lick my wounds. I had a month before Spring term began.
So I found a room to rent on Martha's Vineyard, the nearby island off Cape Cod near Boston, with cheap off-season rates and island isolation to complete my academic tasks, restore my head. My plan was to study and write all morning, then take rambling ruminative walks in the afternoon, then back to work at night.
I allowed extra time to hitchhike to the Cape, and got lucky with a first long ride that took me all the way to Sandwich. The wait for the next ride took awhile, but finally a sleek Audi, then a rather rare sight on the roads in the USA, picked me up, and the driver said he could take me right by the ferry terminal at Woods Hole. Perfect.
Older guy, maybe retired, he wanted to talk. This was part of the bargain. You got a ride, you followed the driver's lead. If the driver was a young buck with a Dodge hemi, you made sure to compliment his car, and he would go on for hours telling you about the cam he installed, how many horses it had, top speed,
ad nauseam
. Whoever was charitable enough to give you a ride, you talked about whatever they wanted.
Well dressed, car clean and elegant, he asked about me, my university studies, dreams and ambitions, and so on.
As the trees along the side of the road sped by, I found myself answering more and more questions about my girlfriend. Initially innocent, the questions gradually got more specific. Was she pretty? I thought so. How long had we been together? Six months. Have you two make love yet?
I held my breath and looked over at him. Middle-sized, no taller than me, fairly trim, close-cropped gray hair, clean-shaven, sharp blue eyes. He looked back. Well?
Not exactly, I answered. He laughed. Anyone, ever? No, I stammered, completely embarrassed by my virgin status. Well, how far have you two gotten then? Her hands felt your penis yet? Yes, I said softly. To climax? I squirmed a bit but couldn't find a way out of answering the direct question. Only a couple times. Did it feel good? Damn yes.
Just his asking made me think about Marla's fingers running along my erection one night a week before Christmas, the smile of enjoyment on her face while she pleasured me, then the sight of the gooey mess left all over her hands.
I was growing uneasy but my answers to all these queries had animated him, and I was relieved when he decided to carry the conversation from there. He described sex with his first girlfriend. Lot harder for us than you guys these days, he confided. Girls felt like they had a reputation to preserve. It was murder to try to get into their shorts. I told him that some of that hadn't changed.
Never forget the first time she licked my penis though, he said, eyebrows arching. Your girl do that yet? Almost, I lied. He laughed.
He kept talking. About his conquests, best orgasms, about how his girlfriends progressively grew more inventive and talented over time, usually at his prodding, how he learned to make his erections last longer, the sex intense. How pleased he was when he finally talked one girl into letting him spurt in her mouth and how great that felt, her soft wet mouth and tongue so satisfying that he often then preferred oral attention to fucking.
Sex is the best thing in life, he said, and I nodded, a bit uncomfortable. I had been telling this guy all sorts of private things about myself that almost no one else knew. But it was arousing too, to talk sex so freely, hear about his own exploits.
Then I heard a story about the first guy who had blown him. A long detailed description embroidered with the voluptuous feelings generated in his cock by the guy's mouth, his expert tongue-work, the explosive climax.
I thought my girlfriend was good but this guy was phenomenal, he said. Kept me hard for half an hour and then I blew enough semen to sink the Queen Mary. Guys, they have a dick themselves, they know much better than a girl how to handle a penis. He paused. You ever had a guy do you?
He looked over at me. I am not that big, but I was well built, with strong shoulders and thick legs. Unless he had a weapon of some sort I figured I could take him in a scrap if it came to that. I hadn't put in too many miles as a hitchhiker but knew enough to calculate situations and safety.
My hair was shaggy, my facial hair sparse. It wasn't hard for him to know my penis was erect from all the sex talk. I shook my head.
He reached over and I held my breath while he gave my crotch a grope through my jeans, gauging size, firmness, willingness. His fingers prodded my erection.
How big are you? My face reddened. I didn't know. There's a tape measure in the glove-box, he pointed.
That was the first time that it all hit me. He had a tape measure in his glove-box.
I froze. How many times had he given this spiel? How many other hitchhikers had he gotten to measure their cocks right in front of him? And then...?
Go on, he urged. No one will see us along this stretch of road. Indeed traffic was nonexistent.
Unable to refuse, I pulled open the glove box and retrieved the tape measure, a tailor's cloth one.
I fumbled with my fly and my penis sprang out. Hold the tape at the root of your cock and go all the way to the tip, he said. If you've got a curve you'll need to hold it so it's against your shaft all the way.
Five and three-quarter inches, I reported.
He laughed. You got me beat, I'm five and a half, we're both strictly average.
I looked over. His erection was sticking straight up out of the fly of his pants, directly behind the steering wheel.
He was uncircumcised, a condition exceedingly unfamiliar to me in my small town. The only guy I knew who was uncut was a French Canadian fellow, Jean Paul, who had moved south with his family to our town in sixth grade.
On a camping trip once we had all pulled our cocks out for comparison, and before he did he said, "Want to see a sick-looking dick?" and we all laughed when he flopped it out, his prick looked so saggy and loose compared to the bare, exposed cock-heads on the rest of us.
But my driver's cock was erect, the head just poking free from his foreskin. It may have been shorter than mine but it sure looked thicker. Almost menacing. But alluring in a way I could not have anticipated. I eyed it intently.
He took his eyes off the road and looked at me. Always seems a shame to waste an erection, he said, a phrase Lenny and I had employed more than once ourselves.
I swallowed. I knew where this was going.
Before I could begin to weigh my options, he spoke. I would like to invite you to my boat, I have it in a slip five minutes from the ferry. He paused. I can get you to your ferry by twelve, but there are several more this afternoon and the last one runs quite late. Your call.
He paused again. You can opt out of anything, anytime, I will honor your wishes, take you straight to the ferry if you like, but if you come with me I can promise you a highly enjoyable visit.
We looked at each other. I didn't know what to think. Part of me was screaming, "No way, get me out of here." Another part, which was attached to my erection, said something different.
You're young, he said. The door of pleasure is wide open. Keep an open mind. All kinds of good things are in store down the road for you. Experimenting is good, healthy.
While uneasy, I was intrigued and trusted him, although the position I was putting myself in was hardly risk-free. His boat, his local knowledge, his control over the situation. I had to believe him for this to continue.
Okay, I said, willing my voice to a tonal register far calmer than I felt.
He gave a thin smile and tucked his penis smoothly back into his pants. Putting mine away was a bit more difficult.
His boat wasn't huge but was comfortably furnished. Coffee? he asked when we were inside. No, don't do coffee. A beer then? He knew I was underage, twenty-one years was the drinking threshold then in Massachusetts. I had turned eighteen the summer before, wasn't eligible for legal drinking yet, not that that had stopped me.
He padded into the kitchen area, came back with a Heineken, said coffee for himself would take a few minutes, that I should make myself at home. Here, he said, opening a drawer next to where I was sitting.
A pile of porn was there, he put a Penthouse in front of me and went back to the kitchen. Playboys had been the staple for Lenny and I, all that was available in our town drugstore, but this was better, the girls had hair on their crotches and more lurid smiles on their faces, altogether more raunchy. I thumbed through the pages.
He returned in a few minutes, having discarded his clothes for slippers and a smooth fabric bathrobe. I could glimpse a hard penis through a gap in the front of his robe.
