I anxiously waited at my computer desk, uncertain if I should really do this. My anxiety clawing at me, saying turn back. Nothing good will come of this. I typed in the search bar, hands shaking a little sex chat sites. I've never visited one in fear that this wasn't proper behavior. But still, my curiosity got the better of me, and I wanted to talk to others sexually. At 24, I denied myself my cravings.
I read plenty of stories and had some flings with boys. but after getting my heart eviscerated, I clamed up and started to deny that I was a sexual being. The guilt of being sexual hung heavy on me, and each subsequent time I had been, I was taken advantage of. The only thing I really indulged in was reading sexual content. I took a deep breath, looking through the results.
I clicked the first one that wasn't an ad listing. It asked me to make a screen name. I thought for a moment. What should it be? I thought maybe a pun one? Maybe a more degrading one? or maybe one advertising what I was looking for? or what I had to offer? None of them seemed me. I thought about it. Come on! This shouldn't be so hard. Just type. horny4you69 or something. but as I sat there, none of that seemed for me.
I finally typed how I felt ouroboros. I was pleased when the user name wasn't taken and I was permitted to enter the chat. instantly messages flashed across my screen; obvious regulars were bantering with newer people, asking how's chat, and others looking for role-play scenes. I saw a notification in my inbox. I clicked it; a bot was advertising something with a link. I disregarded it. A few more notifications came in another bot, then a hi message, which I responded with hey. another with a role-play scene that didn't appeal to me.
I happily responded to each message till the person had to go or the conversation fizzled out, or I ended it. I was getting tired of the person insisting I share pictures or a description of myself, which I refused each time, but still, for some reason, they persisted. I was a few hours into this site, getting bored of the seemingly less than inspired messages I was receiving. I had role-played a little bit, but nothing was really catching my fancy till. One message popped up.
The screen name intrigued me. Gilded it read, and they messaged me, saying, How have you been, Ouroboros? I responded back with fine. We chatted a little bit about just mundane things. I was enjoying his conversation; he was nice with a sprinkle of humor that matched my own. He even has read my favorite book series, which made me ecstatic that someone else had actually heard of it. We chatted into the early hours of the morning. I was starting to get tired; my thoughts were muddling together, and I told Gilded that I had to go to bed. He typed back to me, Will you be back? I paused, thinking about it.
I hadn't intended to stay on the site. The conversations on it had not been what I hoped, but he... He made it worth it. I typed back, Yes, my screen name will be the same, and I'd ask you about the book series we like. Gilded typed back then. Good night, Ouroboros. Good night, Gilded I replied. I signed off and headed to bed.
The following weeks, me and Gilded talked, I grew more comfortable of his company. After a few months with gentle prodding, I had divulged some of my sexual longings. I was anxious in sharing them; I didn't wish for him to think of me as a sexual deviant or lesser for them. But to my relief, he soothed me, saying that my cravings were normal and to not be so hard on myself.
He was doing all he could to ease my guilt of sex, even though he may not have known how deep my anxiety and subsequent longing of it went. He was ever gentle in his approach with me, and as my ease of him grew, I divulged more, and he to admitted fantasies of his. He was apparently well versed in many sexual proclivities and said that he was a dominate. that had been to many clubs that had enacted and participated in many scenes with others. After he told me about some of the scenes, I had finally admitted to him that I fantasized about being a submissive.
He queried Why haven't I seized my chance? I replied that I hadn't had the courage to do so. My guilt over my proclivities clawed deep in my psyche. I was also afraid of opening myself up to that avenue and being taken advantage of. He gently changed the subject after I refused to type back. He asked me if there was anything exciting happening in my life. I perked up, yes! I typed that there's a new snow leopard exhibit opening at my local zoo. I was hoping to attend the opening day. I would be excitedly gazing at the big cats as they went about their day. Gilded typed sounds exciting. I hope you have a fun time. I typed back. I hope so too. Goodnight, Gilded.
I signed off for the night; it was late, and I was tired. I had work at a local nicknack shop in the morning. I curled into bed after brushing my teeth and slipping into my pajamas and drifted off to sleep. I awoke early the next morning, trudging out of bed to eat breakfast, brush my teeth, and shower, getting ready for work.
I walk out of my apartment, heading off to work. and spent my day restocking shelves and helping customers. I got home and ate dinner. I was tired from the long day I had. I heard a ping from my computer. I walked over and saw a message from Gilded. I smiled to myself opening it. Hey, how has your day been?
it read I replied back fine. mainly tiring, but that's alright. He replied, Ouroboros, what do you like to do for fun? I thought for a minute he has never really asked about hobbies, just sexual stuff, which makes sense since we're on a sex chat site. I typed I like fishing, skating, hanging out by the sea, and playing card games at my local comic shop. He replied, That's pretty cool. I typed, Yeah, I play every Saturday and try to skate every Friday, or so get some exercise in, ya know? He wrote back that he enjoyed going to the gym and working out, and that he also enjoyed fishing and the sea. I was delighted that we had some hobbies in common.
I felt a little fluttering in my heart, and I shook my head. No, I told myself this man was probably half way around the world, and even if he wasn't, he wouldn't be that interested in you. I quelled those feelings and shoved any thoughts of what it's like out of my head. I moved off from my computer screen. I needed some fresh air. I opened the window near my bed and took a deep breath. The early summer night air was sweet with the scent of all the fresh plants that grew during the spring rains. I smelled the rich soil and the faint sweet smell of flowers, far off the flowing creek of water. even further and sweeter than anything else the faintest smell of the sea. It's clean scent clung to me, and I ached to run to it but stilled myself.
I had to stay here. I had work in the morning, and I was bound to the realities of being an adult. I couldn't just drop everything and head off for a long night's run to the ocean. I shook my head and went back to my computer. Gilded had messaged me. He was asking me what I liked about being submissive. I cocked my head, thinking deeply. I typed to him the freedom in letting go of trusting in another to have your back, knowing your safe that they know you intimately and can give you what you crave.
I was rambling, I wasn't sure why submissiveness strummed so deeply in my heart. I had stumbled across BDSM-related content when I was 18 looking for just romance novels. The story, although not great, introduced many feelings I didn't understand and feared was very wrong. I looked more into it, reading more stories. I often wished I could let go and be the submissive in the stories I read. But my guilt of sex and being a sexual deviant held me back. This wasn't proper behavior, I always told myself. You'll just get hurt, like every time you try to connect sexually with another. I sighed. I had repressed myself deeply for years. the weight of guilt and fear spurred this action. I had such difficulty getting and staying aroused that I had all but given up.
Gilded was as kind as ever with his response, gently soothing my fears. He suggested that since I so desired to let go and be submissive, that maybe I would permit him to dominate me. He could rent a hotel room, I could establish safe calls I would be safe, he reassured me.
I wavered and dismissed it. I don't think I could do it. gilded, I typed. I'm too scared. I openly admitted to him that it's easy to say you won't hurt me, and it's easy to say you'd come all the way here and rent a hotel room for us. But it's just that words I've learned many times they mean nothing. I am also quite ordinary-looking and wish not to break what you've made up of me in your head. I don't think you'll like me that much. IRL, he seemed a little dejected in his response.
Ouroboros, when are you going to see the snow leopards? He queried This Saturday! My mood always improved when talking about my favorite animal. I plan on going early Saturday morning, hoping that I will avoid any crowds. a nice quiet morning of observing big cats I typed hopeful about my assumption of those Saturday events. The remaining days of the week ticked by, finally. Saturday morning rolled around, and I quickly got dressed and ready for my day out.
I take the bus and finally arrive at the stop for the zoo. After switching buses a couple times, I pay my fare and head inside. straight to the new exhibit, it was still busier than I would have liked. but I was happy to finally see them! I waited my turn to stand in front of the glass. I finally get a chance. I stand there for a few minutes, admiring the cats gently swishing their tails, lounging in the sun with an occasional flick of an ear. Their dappled, spotted body of gray and black patterned fur shown in the early morning sun.
They were on top of wooden platforms, enjoying an early morning. I suddenly became aware of a man standing next to me with jet black hair, a tall figure, a slightly stocky build, and wide shoulders. He left an imposing vintage. His eyes met mine for a second, piercing green. I take a deep breath to inhale his scent. I get the first whiff of pine. But before I could fully process the scent, a gaggle of children ran up, pushing past me. breaking my concentration, pressing their faces against the glass and giddily point, and chatting about the big cats.
