My mind was outpacing the high speed of my car. I was on my way to get a fix that I had been craving for a long time. No, it wasn't drugs or strong drink; it was the rush of raw sexual bliss. This mad dash to a finish had been a long time coming.
Ever since I knew that I was able to blow a load, I had dealt with lustful urges by taking matters into my own hands, so to speak. I had become a pro at the art of jacking off under a wide array of circumstances -- from the quickie just before sleep, producing as little vibration movement as possible, to the much more prolonged sessions with a magazine of full figured women.
Masturbation was a necessity. I wasn't exactly a babe magnet back in high school, and a broken family dominated by manipulative matriarchs had left me with a strong distrust of women. There was no doubt in my mind that I was straight. I just didn't want the risk of a commitment.
There were a couple of instances where girls had expressed interest in me; one was a brunette, and the other was a redhead. Both cases involved women who were eccentric in their own right.
The redhead could be moody, abrasive, dramatic, and self-absorbed, but she had a Rubeneseque form and knew how to market it. She also had a thing for wearing classic pumps, which were something of a weak spot for me. As an object of lust, she was hard to purge from my mind over the years.
Between my junior and senior years of high school, I had a weak moment which resulted in a one night stand of nothing more than first base making out. Things were awkward between us afterwards.
After high school, I took off for college, and she embarked on a Bohemian journey that took her through a short stint at a college where she didn't last a full year. She then moved to a different college town, and then spent some time in New York City. Eventually she made her way back to her hometown, living with her parents.
We did have occasional late night phone conversations, mostly about gossip, but sometimes I would bring up rather blunt questions regarding her sex life. It would make her mad, but my twisted sense of curiosity couldn't be contained.
Still, she had some feelings for me, and I would engage in some contorted mental games just to get a read on how she really felt. Even if my feelings for her were purely lurid and devoid of any emotional intimacy, it was a boost to my brittle ego to know that someone had some sort of desire for me.
