At 57, I have a perspective born of time and experience, and in looking back at all of my lovers, one of my most precious memories is that of my first lover. Rob Wilton had 42 to my 21 years of age. He was 6'2" with black hair that was graying in that distinguished way men's hair does, silvering at the temples. He was not fat, but he was of robust build, and his cock was thick and about 9 inches long. He had been married and divorced twice and had four sons two from each marriage. He was a bartender at a local bar I frequented called The Steak and Stein. A former Korean War marine, he was a specialist in black powder arms and had an independent gun dealership that he ran by word-of-mouth and reputation from his house until years later when he finally had a store front.
He was never a boyfriend. He was what they call today "a friend with benefits" but what I called in 1976 "a fuck buddy." He was the second man I ever slept with. The first, Mark, to whom I had given my virginity on my 21st birthday, only slept with me that one time and so I was new at sex.
Rob was man who enjoyed basic sex. This was probably a good thing. He was kind, gentle, and appreciative, and I have fond memories of our love making.
The first time I went to Rob's house with him, he thought we were going to have sex. He thought I was playing hard to get and insisted. He even took me by the wrist and dragged me towards the stairs heading for his bedroom, but I said I was not going to have sex on our first date, and that if he took me then and there and I didn't like it, I would be sure he didn't like it either. He stopped. I think he realized I was just young and really out of my depth. He apologized. We regrouped, chatted had a beer, and he told me he had a vasectomy, and that he was looking forward to seeing me again. By the next Friday, I had had a chance to think over what had happened and realized what miscommunication had occurred between us largely due to my naΓ―vetΓ© and now on the same page, I went home with him to have sex for the second time in my life.
