First Visit to Gay Nightclub:
My name is Blake, I'm 20 years old, 5'7" with short shaggy blonde hair and an athletic build. I am also a closeted gay virgin and prior to this story had not come out to anyone.
It was a Thursday night and I was sitting in my on-campus accommodation bored. My classmates were going out for drinks for a friend's birthday but I didn't know him and they had said they may end up at one of the local strip clubs. This didn't interest me as I was gay although hadn't come out to anyone yet and wasn't comfortable telling this to my classmates having been already introduced to them and they assumed I was straight.
I didn't have any Uni work to complete and feeling adventurous I began to Google for any local gay clubs in the area. I was new to the city and mixed with excitement and nerves about potentially heading out to a gay club on my own. Not having any gay friends I had no idea about how to act and meet people and until now had not got up the courage to head out to a gay club.
The search showed me a gay club that was only 15 minutes from the campus accommodation and it seemed to have a mixed age crowd from the photos. Thursday was a uni night so I thought this could be my chance as predominantly a younger crowd would be in attendance. I showered and got myself ready putting on a pair of skinny jeans and a fitted black t-shirt. I wasn't overly muscular but had an athletic build from growing up playing football and basketball.
I decided to walk to the club and left my room just after 10pm as this is the time reviews of the club had said it started to get busier. It was a perfect night outside not too cold or hot and I felt a twinge of excitement as I rounded the corner to see the club entrance. There were about 15 people cued up outside between velvet ropes and I joined the end of the line. As I was standing there the group of guys in front of me probably in their late 20's were joking about the night ahead and how they knew one of the drag queens performing tonight.
As I stood behind them one of the guys turned and saw me standing alone and asked if I was meeting anyone inside. I told him I wasn't and that this was actually my first time coming out. A group of younger Asian guys closer to my age then joined the line behind me as the guy speaking to me said, 'Oh my god! Shut up this is your first night out! Have you come out to anyone?'
I replied and said 'Not yet, I'm new to the city and no one else I know is gay so wasn't sure what I should do'. All of a sudden he reached out his arms and hugged me.
His friends now realising we were talking stopped and looked at us as he released me saying 'Honey welcome, I'm Michael and these are the boys, boys this is...' And he trailed off waiting for me to answer with my name. I told them that I was Blake and then Michael informed them that this was my first night out as a gay and they all immediately became very excited and told me to join their group and they would buy me a drink to celebrate.
The line was moving now quicker than before and as we moved ahead the boys all introduced themselves to me. Michael was 28 and worked at a local news outlet, like the others he was taller than me by a few inches and had dark brown hair. Then there was Steven, Owen, Sam and Gregory all of whom had black hair and were 27.
We reached the front of the line and the security let them all through and as I looked young even for my age at 20 he stopped me to check my I'D. It was cleared and in we all went as Michael pulled me along with them towards the bar. 'What's your drink honey?' He said as we reached the bar.
'Umm vodka raspberry please' I responded.
'So cute!' Was all Michael said back to me as he turned and ordered a round of drinks for the group.
Across from the bar was a large dance floor and stage which was crowded with around 50 guys dancing along in various states of dress, some with their tops off and others in full drag. It was something to behold and it made me smile as everyone could be themselves here without being judged. Around the sides of the dance floor were booths which is where Michael and the group sat down. Then at the rear of the club were some pool tables, restrooms and stairs leading to another level but I wasn't sure what was upstairs.
We sat down and I was bombarded with questions from the boys about how I felt to be out for the first time and what my type was and if I was interested in being a top or bottom or versatile. It was all a lot to take in and Michael realising this told them all to slow down before turning to me and saying not to feel too overwhelmed and that here we could all be free to be who we are and not to be offended by any sexual questions.
I said not to worry and that being a virgin and relying on gay porn for my sexual awareness I wasn't sure what I was if it was top, bottom or versatile. It was then that I noticed from the corner of my eye the Asian group of guys that had been lining up behind me enter the club and one of them looking over at me. I tried not to look back but it was too late and as I turned my head our eyes met and he smiled at me. I smiled back and then turned to continue listening to the tips on sex that Sam and Gregory had to share. They seemed only too happy to educate me on the best condoms, lubricants and sex toys for gay guys.
The music continued in the background and Michael ordered another round of drinks as the guys each recounted their own coming out stories to me and first experiences to gay clubs. I told them I was lucky to have met them for the welcoming introduction and sort of taking me under their wing. Gregory then said 'We can't sit here all night on your first night out, lets hit the dance floor!' We all left the booth and headed to a spot in the middle of the dance floor.
It was Steven, Sam, Gregory, Owen, Michael and I in a group dancing away, I watched closely the moves the guys were doing and started to sort of mimic that as I hadn't really danced before. I looked around as we danced and as there were so many bodies together on the dance floor got pushed a little to the side away from the group. I kept dancing to the music and watching the DJ on stage when I turned and standing next to me was that same Asian guy from in the line and before that had been staring at me.
