Jim Ellis stood in the doorway of his bedroom and looked around the room. There were still a couple of unpacked boxes in the corner, the only evidence that he had only moved into this senior apartment complex about a month ago, but Jim wasn't looking at that little mess.
Instead his eyes were fixed on the naked person sprawled on the bed, a bed that was neat and immaculate several hours ago but was now filled with sweat and other body fluids. That was a rare enough experience for Jim since his divorce a few years ago, but the person on the bed? That was completely new.
That's because the person was a man, and while Jim had thought about it many times over the years, even dating back to his youth, he had never acted on it. That changed a few hours ago and this is his story.
This is primarily a gay story with a brief reference to some male/female interaction.
**********************
The sun was coming up and as I stared at the naked man on my bed I was wondering what it would be like when he woke up. Would I be able to talk to this man or even look him in the eye after all that had gone on between us last night and into the early hours of the morning?
I hadn't gone looking for this but I think my neighbor had. Maybe he had his sights set on me from the moment we met out in the hall a month ago, but as for me I hadn't thought about that at all. I thought that he was just a nice friendly guy who was lonely like me.
He was just that though. He was a nice guy and like me he was alone and lonely, having lost his wife few years back. A lot of times I back away from people who are friendly and outgoing, but I hadn't with my neighbor, Mr. Rogers.
That was the nickname I had given him since he looked a bit like the iconic television star. My neighbor's real name was Carl Benson, who at 58 was three years older than me. I had just turned 55 and that was why I moved into this place, because that was the minimum age to live here and it seemed a nice place that was perfectly located near downtown Saratoga Springs.
Filled with a lot of old people though, I recall thinking while I moved my things in before it struck me that while I was probably the youngest resident, the simple truth was that I was now an old man. 55 is the new 45 or 50 or whatever according to those current sayings? Nonsense. 55 is the same 55 as it ever was for me, and my back gave testimony to that every morning.
Not this morning though, strangely enough. My back felt alright despite the extreme amount of exercise I had gotten last night, and as I eased back into the bed carefully so as not to disturb Mr. Rogers aka Carl, I looked at his naked body as I thought back to how I ended up next to a naked man for the first time in 55 years.

"I'll come over to your place because you've got a bigger screen," Carl had declared after he had suggested we watch the Mets game together. "I'll bring some refreshments."
To my surprise I had agreed when Carl suggested this mainly I'm not a Mets fan, but it was better than sitting in the apartment alone and I was getting depressed without people to talk to.
We had lamented the fact that it was too hot and muggy to stay outside long, what with the temperature near 100 every day this week and the night air oppressively muggy and filled with mosquitos.
Bingo down in the Community Room? We both agreed that wasn't for us although Carl said he had played a couple of times so he could look at Pat, the woman who was in charge of pulling the numbers out of the tumbler.
"She's got a nice rack," Carl had commented about the woman who was on the younger end of our age spectrum here, although I speculated as to what would happen to those breasts out of their heavy-duty support.
"You'd be surprised at some of these women, Jim," Carl said with a wink. "Game time is 7. See you then."
Carl arrived promptly armed with a bottle of single malt Scotch that he said was excellent.
"I'm more of a beer guy," I admitted as I offered him a bottle of Left Hand Milk Stout and brought out cheese and crackers.
"Well, you can educated me about beer and I'll introduce you to Scotch," Carl declared as we settle in to watch the game, and that was fine by me.
Instead of the game though we watched rain fall on the infield tarp for a time, and then they played an old edition of Mets Yearbook, which was a highlight film from the 1960's.
"This I like. Ed Kranepool and Casey Stengel I can relate to," I told Carl, but soon that film ended when they broke in to announce the game was called on account of rain.
"Well, now what?" Carl asked after we skipped through 100 other channels filled with excerise equipment infomercials and people eating bus for prizes. "I see you've got some movies."
Carl went over to the bookcase filled with DVD's, and as he looked through them I hoped he wouldn't peek behind the ones visible to see my porn and think I was a pervert. I am, of course, but didn't know how Carl felt about that sort of thing.
"I've got a few DVD's next door, but I don't know if you would like them or not," Carl said, apparently having a warped mind like myself. "They're more of a - let's say adult in nature."
"I'm fine with that," I said, and after a quick trip next door Carl returned with a double of discs.
"What do you think of the Scotch?" Carl asked with a hearty slap of my knee.
"I have to admit I'm developing a taste for it," I confessed while watching this couple screw on my large screen which showed ever pore and hair on the actors.
"How about the movie?" Carl asked with a grin. "That guy looks a little like you. You do porn when you were young?"
"Hardly," I chuckled when I watched this guy slamming his cock into a little blonde, because while the man was a big hairy dude like me, what he had between his legs bore no resemblance to what I had. "Although I would be glad to trade bodies with him."
"Hmmm... what's this?" Carl said as another guy came into the room. "Haven's seen this DVD in quite a while. Forgot about this part."
We sat in silence as the action unfolded, and as I watched the action it appeared the two men seemed to forget about the woman in the room. About then I got a queasy sensation in the pit of my stomach. You didn't forget a scene like this in a movie, and I could feel Carl's eyes on me, looking for my reaction as the two guys sucked each other's cocks.
"You ever do anything like that Jim?" Carl asked.
