The video store where I worked kept a stock of adult films. These were typically releases from the past six months, after which time the owner would list them on eBay at a reduced price. Many of them, she said, would sell on the first listing; the others would typically be won on the second listing. It was a concept which intrigued me.
Another concept which intrigued me was simply renting an adult film. Certainly, the store had its regular customers who preferred adult films to the more mainstream fare. Many of them would blush a little as they handed the selected titles to me or one of my co-workers. Some would specifically wait until there was no line at the counter before they even attempted to approach the register. A few acted rather nonchalantly, as if they were renting a Barney title for their pre-school kids or relatives. And there were a few who always hit on the female staff when they paid for the rental.
I had no problem whatsoever with going behind the curtain to restock the shelves in the adult section. It amazed me at first just how many types of fetishes there are... and the adult industry has a plethora of titles for each one. From "straight sex" to bisexual to gay to lesbian to legs to big busts to hentai to interracial to shemales to Asians to bondage to lolitas to gangbangs to bukkake to... In short, just one trip to the adult section to restock the shelves was a lesson in itself.
...a lesson my parents would be shocked to know I had had, voluntarily.
Ever since I had begun working at the video store, I had wanted to rent an adult title – partially just to say I had done it, but partially to watch one with my big brother. But I did not want my co-workers or the owner to know that I was renting something as "scandalous" as an adult film.
I finally had my chance.
To cover for a co-worker when her mother was visiting, several of us traded parts of our schedules for parts of hers. At first, I simply added a Friday closing shift to my work schedule, with the agreement that she would take one of my Saturday close shifts later. But eventually, I ended up swapping shifts with another co-worker, so my weekend schedule consisted of a Friday close shift followed by a Saturday opening shift, with Saturday night off.
That was my chance.
After closing Friday night, Joyna and I had nearly finished cleaning when her uncle knocked at the back door. I told Joyna to go, as I only had to finish vacuuming the adult section anyhow, and I knew that she was never truly comfortable in that part of the store.
Just as Joyna and her uncle were leaving, my big brother arrived. Of course, I invited him into the store, and locked the back door behind him. Together, we went to the adult section, closing the curtain behind us.
Immediately, we kissed and hugged. Several minutes must have passed, but it seemed like only several seconds.
"I need to finish vacuuming," I told him. "But I have an idea. Why don't you pick out something for us to watch tonight," I said with a wink and a smile, "and I'll bring it back with me for the opening shift tomorrow and check it back in before anyone notices."
"It already is tomorrow," he replied, "but sure."
I resumed vacuuming, smiling to myself. I wondered what my forbidden lover would select. My first thought was that he would choose a lesbian title. Then I thought of his comments once about some bukkake clips he had found online and played for me. Then I remembered our conversation about hentai and tentacle rape, and I was almost certain that he would select a hentai title.
I finished and put the vacuum back in its place in the closet behind the counter, then returned to the adult section. "How about this one?" my big brother asked. "It's a selection of amateur-made bondage videos, and from the screenshots, some of it looks rather intense."
As I reached him, I took the box from his hands and looked over the description and the images. It seemed that every dominant was male and every submissive was female.
"Sounds good to me," I said. "Good choice." I kissed his cheek, then turned to go check this out.
However, I was suddenly grabbed by the breasts and pulled back into my big brother's chest. "Of course," he whispered, "we could also just spend the night right here doing adult things amongst the adult titles."
I giggled at that thought – appealing as it was – and squirmed my way out of his grasp. "Perhaps another time," I said.
The walk home seemed much longer than usual because of my desire to watch this with my big brother. But eventually, he sat on the sofa while I sat in his lap. The only light came from the TV screen as he picked up the remote to start the DVD.
Whoever was responsible for creating this DVD had done things "properly," disabling the option to skip the FBI warning and the sex-line commercials. So we used this time to kiss and fondle. Already, I could feel the familiar manhood solidifying and lengthening against me, just as I was certain my forbidden lover could feel my nipples trying to poke holes in the cups of my bra.
At last, the main menu appeared. Removing a hand from inside my thong, he picked up the remote again and pressed Play.
The discovery of adult films was about to begin. I was about to voluntarily have another lesson which would truly shock our parents.
The first scene was rather loving and romantic in a way. A tall, muscular man in swim trunks grabbed a coil of red rope from a shed and stepped back outside into the daylight. The camera followed him as he approached the house, and a tall woman – practically an Amazonian goddess – emerged from the back door dressed as a bride, her arms behind her.
