"Want to see something really cool?" Ralph asked.
Ralph and I were sitting on the bench seat from an old pickup in the hayloft of the barn behind his parent's house. Suburban sprawl had invaded the old farm's land and the barn was a disused relic of the rural past. The hayloft was a nice private space where Ralph and I could hide out and talk about important matters, such as our burgeoning sexuality.
Without waiting for my assent, Ralph got up and retrieved an object from the secret hiding place under a loose floorboard. "I found this in the street yesterday," he said as he handed it to me.
It was a thick magazine, printed on glossy paper. The title "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality" was superimposed over a black and white photograph of a man and woman's faces with their mouths open and the tips of their tongues touching.
The magazine had either been carelessly lost or hastily discarded. It was slightly crumpled and there was a tire track across the cover. I guessed that it had been run over before Ralph found it.
The text, credited to "S. Richard Broadman, Ph.D.," was a fairly detailed dissertation on male-female sexuality, discussing anatomy, psychology and giving detailed descriptions of wide range of sex acts and techniques.
I didn't spend much time on the words, though. It was the pictures that grabbed my attention.
There were close-ups of erect penises and open vaginas. Some of the close-ups in the "anatomy" section were labeled, introducing me to a large number of new terms: "urethra, glans, foreskin, shaft, scrotum, labia and clitoris."
Most of the pictures were educational in a different way. They were simply very explicit photos of men and women having sex. Women were stroking, licking and sucking penises. Men were sticking their tongues and fingers into open vaginas and licking clitorises. There were some disgusting shots of men licking women's assholes. There were pictures of men and women fucking in every possible position, often in groups. There were lots of photos of women stimulating each other while men fucked them. There were disturbingly arousing pictures of women getting ass fucked.
In one series, a woman sucked a man's cock while two more men fucked her vagina and anus simultaneously. The final pages featured a woman sticking a strapped-on dildo up a man's butt while he fucked another woman.
My penis was painfully swollen. When I glanced over at Ralph, I saw that he had a similar bulge in his pants. I was wondering what to say when we heard his mother calling, "Ralph, it's time for supper."
Ralph quickly put the magazine back in its hiding place and we scrambled down the ladder. It was growing dark, so I stopped behind the barn and jacked off before going home.
I wanted to spend a lot more time with "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality," but Ralph and his parents left on a three week vacation the next day. His dad locked the barn, making the magazine inaccessible.

I visited Ralph the day he got back from vacation. As soon as we'd climbed up into the hayloft he pulled out the magazine, saying "I'll bet you want to see this again."
"I sure do," I answered. "I've been thinking about it every day since you left."
We looked through the magazine together, occasionally commenting on the pictures. "My cock hurts," I finally announced. "It's so hard, I can hardly stand having it trapped in my pants."
Ralph hesitated a long time before answering. "My cock's pretty hard, too," he finally agreed.
"I really need to take my cock out," I continued, observing that Ralph's crotch bulge was getting bigger. "Is that OK?"
"Yeah, I guess so." Ralph seemed to be having trouble speaking.
I immediately stood up and unfastened my jeans. An instant later, I had dropped my pants and shorts around my ankles, allowing my cock to snap to attention. "That's better," I sighed, sinking back onto the bench seat. "That magazine's made me so horny I've jerked off dozens of times thinking about it."
Ralph was staring at my erect penis as if hypnotized. We'd seen each other naked before, while changing into swim suits or getting ready for bed while sleeping over, but we'd never seen each other hard.
"I'll bet you've jerked off while looking at those pictures," I continued.
Ralph nodded.
"My cock still hurts," I said. "I've got to do something about it."
Ralph continued staring as I wrapped my hand around my erect member and began slowly stroking it.
"You look like you need this as much as I do," I said, looking down at Ralph's lap. He'd moved his hand to cover his crotch. It was hard to tell if he was trying to hide his penis or caressing it. "Come on and do it with me."
Ralph hesitated briefly, then pulled his pants and shorts down.
I stared at his stiff dick with undisguised admiration. "You're a lot bigger than I am," I said. "You're really going to make the girls happy."
We slowly stroked our cocks as we turned pages. "Look at this series with two men and a woman," I said. "Wouldn't you love to have her up here with us right now?"
"Yeah," Ralph said hoarsely.
