He had circled the bar several times now, building the courage to park, and to go inside.
He knew it to be a 'meeting place' for gays and lesbians. He had known it for the entire five years he'd come to the city on business...knew it, thought about it, but did nothing about it.
Until this night...
Up until this night, the few times he had been with other guys were always in the context of threesomes with either his wife, now, or with other women he had dated. Those times, rarely but not entirely so, resulted in some guy-guy touching, fondling and, on a couple of occasions, he being sucked by another guy. The most he had done, himself, was stroking another guy's dick in the throes of a threesome and once, he licked another guy's dick as it fucked his wife.
Didn't mean he didn't want to do more, he just had not done so.
Not until tonight, that is.
He was on a mission that night, a mission to give in to the urgings he heard inside of his head, a mission to fully explore his curiosity. He knew he had no problem with a guy sucking his dick. Been there, done that. But this night, this night was for him to find out if he could, or would, pick up a guy so that he could indulge his desire to suck cock.
There, there it is, out there to do with what he would.
Finally mustering up the courage, he parked, took a breath, and walked into the dimly lit bar and took a stool, ordering a beer from the barkeep.
Slowly sipping his beer, he took in the surroundings, took in the few couples on the dance floor, the women locked in slow-moving tight embraces, their hands freely roaming over each other. He took in the fewer male couples doing the same, their hands massaging each other's crotches as they moved slowly on the darkened floor.
Focusing on his stool-mates at the bar through the back-bar mirror, he notice a nice looking, younger guy, a couple of stools over from him. Their eyes locked in the mirror, a small smile creeping onto the other guy's face. Silently, the younger guy picked up his drink and moved to the stool next to his.
"Quiet night," he said by way of greeting after he sat next to him.
"Appears to be," he said back to the younger man.
"Live in town?" he was asked.
