My name is Brian. I lived on the south side with my parents. It was a working class neighborhood full of modestly kept bungalows and older frame two-flats, empty lots where packs of children played, local mom-and-pop groceries, and taverns, some light industries to keep the locals employed. My parents owned one of those little bungalows and it took every cent they could scrape together to get it and hold on to it. Money was hard to come by and savings where practically nonexistent. We lived paycheck to paycheck for as far back as I can remember. College wasn't something that was on the radar for me and most of my friends. The best we could hope for was a solid job at one of the local factories. If someone garnered a job with the city, or on the docks, or better still got a union job β better wages and better benefits β that person was looked upon as being upwardly mobile. I had part-time jobs all through high school and the day after graduation, I started a full-time job at a local canning plant. Prospects were slim.
My father worked as a laborer in construction β the lowest position you could have. He was pushing 65 years old at the time but had to pull the workload of a young man. Retirement was something that he never talked about since, due to finances, it was unlikely he'd be able to rest his bones after a long life of hard work. He'd been breaking his back since the age of 10, first as a farm hand, then in the quarries, on factory lines, or any other labor job an under-educated man could be lucky enough to land. He was ruggedly handsome and a bit of a rake, but despite his sometimes wild nature, I think that's what my mother found attractive about him β at least when they were younger, not so much anymore. That, and the fact that he was a hard worker, probably gave her the idea that they could cobble a life together. My mother was a European beauty. High cheek bones, straight back, broad hips, proud bosom, and outstanding legs made her a real looker. One quickly understood why my father was attracted to her. Although she was a good mother, she was always rough on the old man β a ball-buster deluxe.
As the years went by, mounting financial pressures, and my mother's constant nagging and verbal abuse drove my father deeper and deeper into the only refuge he could find β the whiskey bottle. And the deeper he descended, the more my mother resented him and beset him with her hellish furry. Their loud, heated arguments were legendary throughout the neighborhood. I don't mean to imply that my father was a wimp β he could give as well as get β but their arguments often ended with my dad storming out of the house and heading for the tavern. I can't remember a time when they shared the same bed, or the same bedroom, and any signs of affection, even in the brief moments of dΓ©tente, were fairly nonexistent. They merely existed together loosely held together by a marriage contract forged a long time ago and a mortgage they could barely afford.
My dad was far from being exemplary by any standards but I loved him, and I felt pity for his circumstances, and helpless to improve his lot. Until one particular Friday night, pay day. My friends and I had gone to the local hangouts to do a little drinking and perhaps pick up some willing femmes but as it turned out there wasn't much action afoot. The boring conversations and lack of females couldn't hold my attention for long and I was rather tired from a tough week at the plant. I'd decided to head home and maybe watch a little late night TV before crashing for the night.
When I entered the house everything was perfectly still. The only light a dim glow coming from my father's room. Apparently my mother had already gone to bed and turned out all the lights. Since it was pay day I assumed my father had made the rounds of the local watering holes and had stumbled in for the night. By intent, my parent's rooms were at opposite ends of the house. This made it convenient for my dad to slip into the house without having to encounter my mother's 'gauntlet of fury' whenever he came home drunk. I stepped quietly down the hall towards his room to see if he was OK and maybe have a word with him if he was awake.
I quietly poked my head around the door sill and whispered, "Hey, Pop, you up?" I received no reply. I heard only the soft snoring of another, well earned, pay day, whiskey-induced slumber. I turned myself fully into the doorway of his room and saw that he had his bedside lamp on. His clothes were in a rumpled pile next to the bed, and dad was sleeping above to covers completely naked. He was laying on his side, facing the bedroom door, softly snoring and intermittently mumbling in his comatose-like sleep. Apparently he had stumbled in with enough energy to strip out of his clothes but didn't have the gusto left to get into his pajamas.
My dad had a build similar to the wrestler Dick the Bruiser, thick and stocky, powerful. He had a barrel chest, powerful legs, and upper arms of substantial beef. Looking at his nakedness, I could see that his frame was mostly hairless and even his scrotum had only a faint tuft of fine hair. Warmly tanned and somewhat weather worn, yet quite smooth and robust, looking at him like this, I thought that he actually looked beautiful. I don't recall ever seeing my dad fully naked before, but the thing that really drew my attention was that even though he was out cold, my dad was sporting a big, thick, meaty hard-on. I was kind of shocked at how fat that man's dick really was. I was very much average sized in the cock department, nothing distinctive about what hung between my legs. My dad, on the other hand, had something that a man could be truly proud of.
I found myself staring in openmouthed wonder at that man's tool as he slumbered in his whiskey stupor. I had seen plenty of men's cocks before and never stared or had a concern for them, but for some reason I could not take my eyes off my father's swollen member. It was difficult to tell how long his cock was because of the way he was laying, probably about 5 or 6 inches, nothing special about that measurement, but it seemed to be as thick as a summer sausage, its foreskin was pulled fully back revealing the glistening plum sized head. Had he been jerking it before he passed out or was his cock so engorged with blood that it burst past its foreskin covering? Every few seconds his cock would twitch and he'd murmur some slurred gibberish before returning to his snoring. I was sure that he was having a sexual dream, perhaps about one of the old wide-hipped, rum-soaked women who frequented the local bars. I was sure he wasn't dreaming about my mother, he looked too peaceful.
I stood there for what seemed like minutes admiring my dad's dick. I remember wondering to myself how my mother could have taken that thick meat into her body without a lot of discomfort. If I had a cock like that I know I would have scared off the majority of the women I had known. I suddenly realized that I was feeling flushed, not from embarrassment at starting at my dad's naked body, but rather because I was becoming aroused and almost hypnotically drawn to his beautiful, enormous dick. I had never thought sexually about other men before, nor have I been turned on by their nakedness, but in these few moments a lot of taboos seemed to disappear. He looked lovely laying there. He laid there like the first man, a champion, a warrior, thick, and powerful, his manhood stiff, and exalted. I was at the same time proud of him, in fear of him, and turned on by him.
I shook myself to break the mesmerizing spell, smiled, and chuckled to myself. "What's up with you, man? Snap out of it." I thought. Stealthily I walked over beside his bed intent on turning off the bedside lamp and covering him up. I leaned over and reached for the light switch but my gaze once again fell to my dad's bulging, thick cock. It looked even more enormous as I stood beside him renewing my shameless stare. My thoughts became infiltrated with a touch of sadness for the man. He worked so hard to keep this house and this family glued together. He never seemed to ask much for himself but all he got from my mother was distain, and cursing, and spite. It surely would have been a long time since she had kissed him or even touched him as a woman should touch her man. All he had now was his back breaking job, the cheap whiskey devoured, and the sorry company he kept while doing it. My eyes began to water a little as love and sorrow for my dad welled up in me all at the same time.
