I almost made it to 30 years of age before losing my virginity. Almost.
In high school I was a nerd, hanging out at the science building and building rockets on the weekend. I was too shy to socialize with girls. I was very much afraid of doing something that might accidentally offend. Somehow this turned into a very rigid inhibition, a sort of 'Good boys don't'.
And that is how I lived my life; never flirting or making physical contact with women except for obligatory hugs with one lady friend. I was not happy that I could possibly face a life of celibacy, but I was too shy, inhibited and socially inept to change it.
I think I knew that some women liked casual sex, but they hung out with jocks or people who were good at socializing, not in my part of the world.
Then a trip to San Francisco began a year that pushed my boundaries and sent me into free fall.
Meagan
When I left the Air Force I hired onto a swing shift job in Orange, California. After work I would stop in at the local clubs where a friend's cover band was playing, catch the last set or two and join the band for 'breakfast' at a local chain restaurant. The band had a drummer, bass guitar, my friend on keyboard and a female vocalist named Meagan.
Meagan was short with dark curly hair, well proportioned and looked hot in the outfits she wore on stage. I socialized with her a bit once or twice, driving her from the gigs to restaurants in my old Triumph GT6+ and once inviting her to dinner at a very nice restaurant in South Coast Plaza. It was all very arms length and proper.
I do not remember how it came about, but one night as I drove Meagan from a gig to a restaurant I admitted I was virgin. I still have a visual of that moment.
A month before my 30th birthday the band had a gig at a hotel near San Francisco airport and I decided to join them. We planned that I would room with my pianist friend so I could afford the stay.
Here the plot thickens.
My brother and his wife, Laurie, learned I would be in San Francisco and asked me to pick them up at the airport two days after I arrived there. I was to drive them down to Carmel and Monterey where we would stay a couple of nights while I showed them around the area.
I was puzzled that they knew of my plans as I had not told them and they did not socialize with the band members.
So I drove up to the hotel at the San Francisco airport, settled into my friend's room and went to watch the band play, grab a bite to eat and have a drink. As I sat sipping the drink, three women approached and asked if they could sit at my table. That was slightly curious as there were empty tables, but I welcomed them. The woman who had asked to sit at the table introduced herself as Betty.
As I settled back to watch the band, Betty began making very unsubtle advances. I politely deflected. After about thirty minutes of this she seemed frustrated and asked me to take her to her room. I thought briefly that being virgin I didn't have the slightest idea of what to do if I were to take her to her room. It was just too much for this shy nerd and I was looking for an out when Meagan came over to the table.
Meagan had finished her sets with the band and joined us for some small talk. After 30 minutes or so Meagan rose to go to her room and placed something on the table next to me. As she walked away I looked down to see she had left a key to her hotel room.
I felt instant panic. This could not be real. Why would these two women invite a shy, up tight man like me for casual sex? I thought I must be misunderstanding something. I felt that I had to go to Meagan's room out of courtesy, but I was sure I was misreading her intent and would end up looking like a fool.
I got in the elevator and all the way up repeated in my mind, "I know what's happening, but I must be misunderstanding something," over and over like a mantra.
When I got to Meagan's room I did not use the key to open the door. I knocked.
Meagan opened the door and invited me in, an unreadable expression on her face. I entered and went over and sat on the foot of the bed. Meagan sat near the head of the bed and looked at me, waiting. I sat there with my mind in a mess, trying desperately to think what to say.
After a while Meagan came to me at the foot of the bed, embraced me and gave me a long kiss full of promise. I had never before had a sensual kiss. I hadn't misread Meagan's intentions; she was going to have a virgin tonight.
As we undressed I stared at Meagan's trim small body and pert breasts. My eyes dropped to the top of her thighs. I had never seen a nude woman other than in photos. I forgot to breathe and then breathed deep anxious breaths.
We got in bed and held each other. I had no idea what I was supposed to do so I copied Meagan's moves, very slowly running my hand down her back to her firm tush, down her thighs, back up over her back and neck, and into her hair while holding her close.
Meagan put her hand on my penis and found I was not fully aroused. She said softly that we should go to sleep and see what happens in the morning.
Meagan probably thought I'd had too much to drink to become aroused. Actually it felt unreal to me that these two women were asking me for sex. My tidy, sterile little world was imploding and I felt somehow vulnerable.
Sleeping with Meagan was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I'd never slept with another person, never cuddled. As she lay next to me I could feel the warmth of her and the curves of her body.
I felt my barriers slipping away and cuddled closer. I fell asleep.
When I woke in the morning Meagan had one hand caressing my chest, her other hand around my very rigid penis. It had awakened before I did for my usual morning erection and they were patiently waiting for me.
We held and stroked each other for a few minutes then Meagan pushed against my chest and told me to lay on my back. She rose up, put one leg over me and straddled over my very firm erection, her breasts swaying ever so slightly as she moved. I looked at Meagan and every nerve in my body begged to feel her touch.
I took my penis by the base and moved it toward her. As I touched her, Meagan laughed softly and said, "Not THAT hole." She pushed my hand away and held my erection and moved it to her. I don't know whether she did it intentionally, but as she moved me to her she seemed to touch every possible sensitive spot.
I watched and felt the tip of my penis brush the lips of Meagan's vagina and then a sense of warmth, moisture and caress as I began to enter. Internally I was writhing with passion. Meagan lowered herself onto me, taking me into her. I felt I was going to explode.
