We had finally finished helping my friend Dave move into his new condo. Most of his friends had already left and it was just the three of us. I was standing with Susan kissing her goodbye. She needed to get her brother's pickup back to him before it got too late. It was just beginning to get dark and she had to drive across town. As she climbed into the truck, she waved and reminded me to call her tomorrow. I gave her a big thumbs up as she drove off smiling. As I re-entered Dave's condo, he was picking up the pizza boxes and throwing the empty beer bottles away. I started hooking up his TV and getting all the equipment put in the right places. Fortunately most of his furniture was small and not too difficult to put back together. He believed in living fairly simply, something I wish I could do...
It was now about 9:00 and we had been at work for three hours. Sitting on the couch rather tired, I grabbed my water bottle and chugged down what remained. Flipping through the remote, Dave said,
"Well, Mark, the cable won't be hooked up until Monday wanna watch a movie?"
"Sure...what have you got"?
"I think that box has some movies," He said pointing to the box beside me.
Reaching in, I pulled out several of his gay porn movies. Exaggeratedly I rolled my eyes, as he self-consciously laughed.
It really wasn't a big deal to me that he was gay. We met in college and it was over 2 years before he even told me. As we hung out, I got more and more comfortable with the idea of men being together until it almost seemed natural. I was never interested in being with a man and neither he nor his friends ever came on to me. Sometimes a couple of them would playfully flirt, but it meant even less than when I do it with Susan's friends.
We were finally able to relax and neither of us felt like going through any other boxes. I tossed one to him and said, "Put it in if you want, I don't care."
I had never seen a gay porn before, but I figured it would be something to do, and besides, its not like it would excite me or anything. During the sex scenes I could just look at a magazine or something.
In the meantime, Dave grabbed the tape and looked at it. Looking up he said, "Hey, this is a good one, it has a plot and everything."
"That's wonderful." I said.
The plot, what there was of one, involved some guy looking for his cat. Each door had a rather muscular man, who would invite him in, and then they would end up in bed, on the floor and in a hot tub. The first couple of scenes, I pretty much avoided, but the last one in the hot tub, I found kind of interesting. I must admit both men in the scene were quite attractive and I couldn't help get a bit aroused.
