Reader alert... This story contains sexual situations between an uncle and a nephew...
**************
July 14, 1970 was the greatest day of my life, which at that point consisted of 18 years and two months. Even now, more than 40 years later, it still ranks as one of the handful of days that I remember most of all, and to think it almost didn't happen.
I was supposed to go on a camping trip with a friend of mine, and back in those days people weren't as accepting as they are today, so we used the word "friend" instead of "lover", which would have been an invitation for crude comments at the very best. His folks had figured out what my Mom hadn't about me, and while his parents couldn't stop us being together completely they made it clear that I was not going to join them for their vacation and do all those nasty things with their son.
Stuck alone on a great summer weekend before college started, my oblivious mother, bless her heart, told me that I was welcome to join her in visiting relatives for the weekend. Having experienced a couple of these nightmare trips, the thought of hanging around my Mom and her sister-in-law Connie was not appealing at all, and feeling bold at turning 18 a little while ago, I told her so.
"Ma, I like Aunt Connie and all, but there's nothing for me to do," I said, reminding her that hanging around a couple of middle aged women was not my idea of fun, not to mention their two bratty little pre-teen twin girls.
"It wouldn't be so bad," Mom said. "The girls are away at camp this summer. Besides, I think your Uncle Ed will be there."
I tried to act nonchalant about hearing that bit of news, and then proceeded to try and nail Mom down for sure about that. After all, she might just be saying that to get me to go with her.
Uncle Ed, you see, was a long haul trucker who was usually not around when my Mom visited, and I guess Mom would go so Aunt Connie wouldn't be so lonely. Uncle Ed also happened to be the spitting image of my Dad, who had passed away several years ago, and also happened to be the first guy I had a crush on, even before I knew what that meant.
Uncle Ed was a lot like John Wayne to me, a big strong guy who was built like a bear and was a real manly kind of man. Knowing that, if he even knew about the way I felt toward him, I figured he would break me in two, but since I rarely saw him, he stayed my little secret fantasy.
Apparently it was true. Uncle Ed had just started a vacation, a rarity for him, and was going to be around for once. Further more, Mom said he told her he was really hoping I was going to go up with her to visit.
That was enough for me, so off we went.

It was what I had dreamed of happening. After being warmly greeted by Uncle Ed and Aunt Connie and having lunch, they suggested we take advantage of the warm day by taking a dip in their new pool. Neither Mom or I had brought bathing suits but Aunt Connie said she had something Mom could wear, and as for me, "You must have something Jeff can use, don't you Ed?"
That was how I found myself upstairs with Uncle Ed, getting undressed, and I couldn't take my eyes off Uncle Ed as we disrobed. Pushy fifty, he didn't show it. His body wasn't fat but fleshy and still pretty muscular. His shoulders were broad as was his chest, which was covered with a generous pelt of coal black hair, with only a sprinkling of silver mixed in.
When he dropped his trousers and briefs, I tried not to look but failed. He was beautiful. No matter how many times I had imagined what Uncle Ed would look like naked, the reality was even better than my fantasy, and as my eyes took in the sight of his penis, a meaty uncut tube surrounded by a jungle of hair with the outline of his plump gland clearly visible through the long dusky foreskin, I realized that Uncle Ed had noticed me staring at his manhood.
"Here Jeff," Uncle Ed said as he handed me a pair of trunks, unconcerned with his nudity as he stepped toward me.
I was a bit behind in the undressing, and had to fight to keep from getting a full-blown erection as I stepped out of my shorts, hoping that Uncle Ed would be curious enough to look at me, even if he wouldn't be as brazen as I had been.
Over the years I've had the opportunity to get undressed in front of many people, and while things like that don't really matter, I confess to getting turned on my the reaction I get when people see me for the first time.
You see, while I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, and am certainly not incredibly handsome, I have been blessed with what is considered to be an exceptional endowment. That, along with the fact that I was also aroused when I lowered my boxer shorts, meant that when Uncle Ed saw his nephew naked for the first time, let's just say that he was seeing me at my best.
And Uncle Ed looked. He looked long and hard, and as I intentionally fumbled around with the swim trunks, chills raced up and down my spine as Uncle Ed checked me out.
"Oh my!"
The voice of Aunt Connie coming from the doorway of the bedroom, broke the magic of the moment. I thought that Uncle Ed was going to say something just before his wife came in, and I silently cursed the poor woman for inadvertently ruining the experience.
"We'll be right out," Uncle Ed said as a flustered Aunt Connie spun around.
An eventful few minutes, I thought to myself, having shown both my Aunt and Uncle that I was no kid anymore.
"Gotta go to the can," I said as I pulled up the baggy trunks.
