I've known I was bi for as long as I can remember, but always too scared to take the leap. Afraid of what people would think, afraid of meeting someone who'd make me step out of the closet, force me to choose.
I've always felt a little off--different. Not like the polished, chiseled types everyone seems to adore. Not the ones everyone stares after. But someone a little overlooked, someone longing for something more--maybe love, maybe something close enough. And so I've found myself drawn to those like myself, not picture perfect.
And on top of that, there's this other craving, one I keep buried.
I've always been drawn to older, chubbier men. Bears. Daddies. Big, bearded, thick-bodied men with heavy hands and warm bellies. It's a craving I've kept locked away, something I let myself fantasize about but never dared to act on. Being bi? Fine. But if anyone found out I was into this? Ha. No way.
Maybe it's because I know what it's like to be looked past. To want to be wanted, to crave it so deeply that it aches. And when I flirt with them--when I let my fingers linger on a text or send a teasing message late at night--I see it. The flicker of hunger in their eyes, the way they light up. It makes me feel seen too. Like I matter for once.
But God, I find them so fucking sexy. Their bellies puffing out against their shirts, broad shoulders, rough beards that scream masculinity. Faces lined and creased, heavy eyes, musk and body heat. It's a fantasy I can't help but hold on to, even though I know it'd shatter if I ever tried to make it real.
Still, I picture it as I jerk off. Stroking to fantasies of being tossed around, groped, spread wide, fucked deep. Of someone who won't let me back out, who'll pull me in and pin me down and fuck me until I see stars.
So at night, I fire up Grindr. Snap a few pics of myself splayed out on the bed, ass perched just right, cock hard, ready for someone to take a bite. Like a little kid waiting for his daddy to come and take him home.
And it works. Floods of messages. Late-night conversations. Sometimes straight into the morning. They tell me what they'll do to me, I tell them what I want them to do. It's fucking filthy.
I love it.
I love their cocks--short and thick, or long and heavy, buried in coarse unruly hair. The way their balls hang low, the forest of pubes they fall out of. I send my nudes, waiting, hungry for theirs in return. The anticipation? That's half the thrill.
The men on Grindr, though, they see me. Or at least, they see the version of me I want them to see. The desperate, horny kid who just wants someone to take control. I know I'm just a picture to them, and when I'm not in their heads, I'm nothing. But for those few minutes, they see me. They want me.
And God, I want to be wanted.
After the usual scroll through Grindr, I start searching for something else, just out of curiosity. A gay sauna. I don't know why it's on my mind, actually - I do, but I type the words into my browser anyway. I've never been to one, but I wanted to let curiosity get the best of me, in more ways than one.
I scroll through and find one downtown, nice and far from anywhere near my neighborhood, away from daily life. I've never thought about going to one before, but now that I see it, I feel the decision being made. Something new, something
real
, not just the screen, not just a profile pic or conversation that leads to nothing. A place where men, older men, might look at me, touch me, want me.
My heart starts pounding, my hand instinctively reaching down to squeeze my cock. I'm hard already, just thinking about it.
I scroll through the sauna's website, looking at the pictures, reading the reviews. Dark rooms, steam, lockers, showers. It's all so...
dirty
. So
real
. And the idea of being surrounded by men, anonymous, a retreat from real life, a chance to explore. Then something catches my eye--an event listing.
"Bear Night: For Bears and Their Admirers"
Fuck.
The description is straightforward. A night dedicated to big, bearded men and the guys who worship them. A chance to be surrounded by everything I've fantasized about, to feel them against me, their rough hands, their heavy bodies. No hiding, no pretending.
I picture it--stepping inside, stripped bare, surrounded by men thick with muscle and fat, their sweat-slicked skin, their bellies brushing up against me. The heat of them, their scent, the way they'd pull me close, their hands greedy, their bodies hungry.
My fingers twitch, hovering over the "Book Room Now" button, and for a moment, I hesitate. The reality of it is starting to sink in. The fear creeps in--the fear of crossing the line, but so does the loneliness- the ache of being wanted by someone, anyone.
I can feel my breath coming faster, and I'm harder now, just thinking about it. The idea of walking into that sauna, of stripping down bare, open and ready. To be nothing but a body in a room full of men who want me.
Fuck, I want this.
I click it.
I book the appointment.
My cock twitches in my pants at the confirmation on the screen. My heart's pounding, head spinning.
It's set now. Tomorrow. I'll go.
**
Tomorrow comes, its 9PM and the night is cold. I find myself outside a simple wooden door, the word
Excess
written on a small plaque that sits in the middle.
I step inside.
The reception area is small but sleek, dimly lit with soft yellow lighting that bathes everything in a haze. But tonight, there's a charge to the air, an almost tangible weight to the heat pressing in. The low murmur of voices, laughter, the clinking of glasses--it all blends into something intoxicating.
Behind the counter, the receptionist barely glances up at first. He's an older guy, maybe in his fifties, with thick arms and a belly that strains against his tight black shirt. His face is weathered but friendly in that disarming way, the kind of guy who doesn't need to say much; his presence says everything.
His eyes scan me quickly.
Assessing.
"Checking in?" His voice is deep, rough.
I nod and pull out my phone, unlocking it with shaky fingers, showing him the confirmation for my booking. His gaze flicks to the screen and back to me, then down to the neon wristbands on the desk--red, green, yellow. Without asking, he picks up a green one and slides it across to me.
"Room 305," he says, handing me the key along with the band.
