The summer of 1971 was a shining, soaring, pulsing mountaintop of discovery, love, sex, and friendship, and it ended way too soon.
The excitement began in early May when Chad, Dene and I discovered love and sex. Friends forever, we had swapped stories about our budding adventures, kissing and feeling up (or being felt up by) other people, but had never tried it with each other. Chad and I finally admitted we loved each other and that quickly led to claiming each others' cherries. Then Dene and I shared an erotic kiss, mainly by accident, and followed it up with full-on girl-girl sex and very nearly got caught in our very first act when her parents got home a little early. (The garage door sounded an early warning, and we recovered our clothes and composure just in time!)
We were aided and abetted by my sister Jan who not only let us read a book that had EVERYTHING about every kind of sex you could imagine, but let us use her house for our lovemaking while she was at work!
If it hadn't been so close to the end of the school year, Dene and I would have probably flunked out because of the enthusiasm we poured into exploring our new world of sex! I spent every minute I could at Jan's house, alternating trysts between Chad and Dene. Unfortunately, Chad's grades did suffer, and that brought lifelong consequences that we never expected. More on that later.
Things moved quickly that May. It was already summer-warm in Corpus Christi, TX where we grew up, and my first time with Chad was outdoors on a picnic table! Reading Jan's book, we worked on something new almost every week through the end of the school year.
First up was Chad's ability to screw me long enough to get me off before he popped. His first do-it-yourself technique was to jack off before we planned to get together so he could last longer after he slid his dick into me. That changed when we first tried and then worked to perfect blowjobs. I had already discovered cum wasn't gross to lick. I learned that the first time Chad blew a load on me. The book assured us that cum was safe to swallow, and outlined techniques for blow jobs. For a couple of months, THAT became our first item of business--I'd give him a blow job, swallow the cum, and then gently suck him back hard again. He loved it, I loved it and Dene always wanted me to report on how much of a load her big brother shot into my mouth. That first load was always a pretty good mouthful, and the stream had significant force to it. In fact, the first time I kept him in my mouth while he came it didn't go so well. His first semen blast "went down the wrong pipe." I choked and pulled away, and like a loose fire hose his dick continued to pump streams in random directions. I got a few squirts on my face and hair while I coughed violently. What a mess. Chad started thumping my back to help, not knowing what else to do. We ended early, changed Jan's sheets, did laundry and took showers without going any farther that day!
Undeterred, we worked on timing. Chad always warned me--verbally at first, then with taps or squeezes. It didn't take long before I could read the signs well enough and his warnings were superfluous. That helped his ability to last, and I continued to have my opening orgasms from licking his pre-cum while he fingered me. Getting a vaginal orgasm from fucking just wasn't happening at all, though, much less getting off at the same time like people did in "Letters to Penthouse." If we got him off with a blow job first thing, Chad could pump me for 10 minutes before he couldn't take it anymore, and although I got close, I just couldn't seem to get over the top. I'd give him a few minutes to rest, then guide his hand down to my pussy and have him get me off with his fingers while he kissed me deeply, nibbled my ears and sucked my nipples. We discovered that when I got close, sucking one or the other of my nipples hard enough to be almost painful would light me up and send me screaming over the top--a very useful bit of knowledge! Chad became as adept at reading my body as I was at his. The phrase "Practice Makes Perfect" became our motto. We could barely contain ourselves when an opportunity came up to say "Practice Makes Perfect" in the outside world. We absolutely couldn't be looking at each other as we said that or we'd collapse in laughter and not be able to explain the inside joke. (And I do mean INSIDE--yuk, yuk!)
It took us a month to get into having a nice 69 as foreplay. That took some practice too. I was still having thundering orgasms when I'd see, then lick pre-cum from his dick. If I started sucking him before the pre-cum appeared and didn't see it first, I didn't have the same reaction. What we settled on was showering together and letting soapy hands get us hot, then moving to the bedroom. Often, Chad would pick me up and carry me to the bed in the traditional "over the threshold" way, kissing my nipples as he walked. I'd close my eyes as he laid me on the bed and stretched out next to me in position to 69 and began licking me. Without opening my eyes, I'd rub the tip of his cock across my lips and almost always feel that silky pre-cum already beginning to rise. It made me hot as hell, but I (usually) didn't cum then. We were both, by then, getting good at reading signs of an incipient orgasm in the other, and with enough practice we COULD get off at the same time that way, and usually very quickly. I always swallowed his cum, and discovered that I had different reactions to that before and after I came. Leading up to my orgasm, and especially during it, I absolutely craved his hot load in my mouth and swallowed every squirt as it flowed. If I peaked before he did, it was OK but it wasn't as hot. Chad said the same thing about eating me out, especially when my pussy juice was really flowing. When he was good and horny, and especially while he was cuming, he'd suck out and swallow every drop and wish it would never end. As soon as he came, though, it wasn't so much a primal urge anymore. He'd finish me off if I hadn't had mine yet, but more out of politeness. He was always, thank goodness, a very polite fellow! The 69 foreplay became a permanent part of our sex time the rest of our lives.
There were a few things we tried and rejected. The book had a whole chapter on anal sex and we explored that. We liked having maybe one finger joint wiggled in our assholes, but it took so much effort to overcome the revulsion at kissing and tonguing there that we only tried it a couple of times before putting it aside. Chad thought my pussy was plenty tight, and said he didn't need the extra squeeze that my asshole might provide. That was fine with me. Likewise bondage didn't do it for us. We didn't like either side of that process, having or yielding power. From the very beginning, we operated on "making us even." You see, we always wanted to be partners in sex. Fucking wasn't just something he did to me--it was something we did to each other!
Dene and I notice a change in our language. In the '70s, at least in our circles, girls rarely said 'fuck', even without boys in earshot. Saying it produced either gasps or giggles depending on context. By ourselves, 'fuck' became ordinary and casual. 'Having sex' seemed too indirect and bland. Even if we were talking about sex between the two of us, we were 'fucking each other', rather than having sex. It didn't matter that no dicks were involved!
Having the house to ourselves provided endless opportunity for experimenting. We determined to try every position in the book and did! In fact, we went back to the beginning and started over more than once, then made a "position jar" where we'd draw out the position of the day.
Our time was often "stolen" from our relatively packed schedules. School didn't end until early June, so that was the biggest impediment. Homework SHOULD have taken our time, but that was often where we stole sex moments--taking afternoons and evenings that used to be spent on school work. Our past work ethic at school had put Dene and me at the head of our class, but we were working on a different kind of learning those last 2 or so months. Dene and I could and did coast. We turned in some sloppy work, clearly below our potential, but mostly got the benefit of the doubt. Our grades were strong enough to weather the storm; we even got scholarships!
