[Thanks to Ken N. for editing me. This is a story about eighteen-year old college freshmen discovering the pleasure they could give each other when girls weren't around.]
***
I didn't lose my virginity until I was in college. In fact, I had very few dates at all in high school because I was so shy. I had no idea why some male and female classmates were so widely popular while I had a hard time making any friends at all. It seemed like making friends required code words or secret handshakes or something, and I'd never been let in on the secrets.
That doesn't mean I was miserable all the time. I had two or three good male friends, and one girl who treated me like a brother or something, and we sometimes played tennis and studied together. Saturday nights we'd watch movies at Jake's house. He had the best video system and the most welcoming parents.
Now that I'm almost 25 years old I have learned that really crippling social anxiety is not all that uncommon among teenagers, and that lots of kids are lonely in high school but don't show it. I did suffer one particular humiliation - I repeatedly failed the state driver's license tests. I'd known since elementary school that I am color-blind, and that made it challenging for me to read signs and signals.
I dated girls normally in high school when I could, and had no sexual interest in other guys. There's a lot of porn with scenes of guys checking each other out in the gym showers, but I don't remember any of that. We had bodies and dicks of all shapes and sizes, but I took little notice most of the time.
I told you I was a virgin when I went to college. I think I would have met more female classmates and had a more active social life if I had lived on campus, but I was a commuter. The campus was only 30 miles from my house, and my parents couldn't afford to pay high tuition and room and board. It was a good school, and the tuition was pretty steep, and there were many "day students" like myself, so I didn't feel bad about my situation. In fact, "mom's cooking and laundry service" was kind of a perk!
And Jake did the same thing - stayed home and commuted to the campus. So I had my best friend around when I was at the university, and also when I was home. Jake's parents made a deal with him that the money they saved on room and board would fund a car of his own. He was thrilled with the trade-off.
If there was any social disadvantage at school to being a commuter, it was outweighed by our vast knowledge of the area. Unlike the freshmen from far and wide, we knew the surrounding towns like the back of our hand. Friday and Saturday nights Jake would drive us around and we knew where to get the best pizza, or where the local people our age, some of whom did not go away to college, hung out.
I still wasn't getting much action from the girls, but I considered myself perfectly normally heterosexual. My few dates with my female classmates didn't get very far, sexually. Even at their hottest these dates consisted of groping with my hands, and some clumsy, fumbling oral sex. When we didn't have dates, Jake would pick me up and we'd cruise around town, looking for single women to pick up.
Even the oral sex I experienced on my freshman year dates was pretty tame stuff. I don't think any girl I went down on had an actual orgasm. I wasn't very skilled, and she was probably pretty nervous.
If I got four or five minutes of excitement licking her pussy, and she didn't think it unpleasant, we both came away winners! I'd be hard as a rock with my face in her crotch, and sometimes squirted my cum into my pants while writhing around on her dorm room mattress.
I now know that I was a very unusual young man in one particular respect. I didn't enjoy it at all if my date offered to return the oral sex favors. I may be the only man I know who never came to orgasm while getting my dick sucked. When I was in college, I usually couldn't even keep an erection while being sucked. I didn't like the feeling at all-too much drool and teeth! The position - sitting - seemed awkward, and made my average cock barely protrude. It was also uncomfortable, if we were making out in the back seat of Jake's car, to have my pants around my knees.
But even though my discomfort then may have been real, I've since had many opportunities to be sucked to orgasm while comfortably naked in a bed, and-nothing. In my lifetime several women (and one or two men) have tried to give me a blowjob, and I never much enjoyed it. I don't know if I just never got a good one, or if I'm a freak, but I just don't much enjoy getting blown.
Most Friday or Saturday nights I didn't have a date, so Jake and I would perform the American teenage ritual of driving around with a buddy, looking for girls. Lots of guys did this whenever they didn't have a date.
Jake loved to drive, and he pretty much decided where we went, and how long we hung around at each spot before giving up and moving on. It was aimless, "American Graffiti" style cruising from one hangout to another, radio playing, windows down.
I never thought of what he and I did - going out together - as dating. But Jake always called me and no one else, and I always cruised with him and not with anyone else. And somehow we never found girls, and would always end up parked in the woods somewhere, smoking and talking, not ready yet to go home.
Two guys in a car, parked somewhere dark and private, talking about imaginary girls, getting boned. There was no good reason to be shy about opening our zippers and masturbating ourselves. After all, we were college men now, not boys.
Eventually one night we stroked each other in the dark, arms around each other's shoulders, heads together. And then late one night it all changed forever when we agreed to swap blowjobs, and I went first.
I wish I had the words to describe this better. I did not at that moment think that what I was doing moved me from the heterosexual category to the homosexual category. Guys sometimes jerked each other off - that didn't make them gay for life. If getting sucked didn't make you gay, sucking each other would be okay, right? I'd blow Jake, and he'd blow me, and we'd tuck in and go home, Monday morning we'd drive to campus together, and next weekend we'd go looking for girls again. Or maybe even have a date with a girl. We were both normal. Just horny; lonely and horny.
It is hard for me now to believe how little thought I gave to going first, how little I hesitated before offering my mouth for another guy's cock to squirt into.
