I met Peter at the local gym. He was a guy who attracted me immediately and he was also about my age in the early twenties, and from what I gathered he was unattached like me and looking for someone to romance.
I liked the way he put that; 'someone to romance' it was nice and I felt comfortable with him.
We are both a trifle overweight and keen to put off some of those proverbial pounds.
Pete said that we drive too much, eat too much and just don't get the exercise we should.
The third time I saw him at the gym we had a coffee together afterwards in the health center canteen and got to talking about more general things.
I guess what really clicked it off for us was when he complained that the exercise was all very well, it did miracle for the physique but nothing for the nominal human desires; and that is when he said he would like to get into some real nice 'sexercise."
"You are unattached Roger, so you must feel the same.
"I do quite often, but the difficulty is finding somebody of like mind and I am not into casual sex."
"Neither am I Roger but it truly make a big difference in my life if I could really find someone to fill that gap."
"I know the feeling, Pete."
"Have you ever been with a girl Roger?"
"I have never had the inclination frankly. I have had girlfriends but just that, nothing more."
"Are you telling me you are gay Roger?" he paused awaiting my reply then he added "I hope!"
I had never had anyo0ne ask me that outright before. I felt my whole body numb and I must have flushed, hesitating to find the words which would declare something I had kept secret forever!
"You are aren't you? Well no need to be concerned because am too."
"You are. Have you ever been with another guy?"
"I wish but the only opportunity have experience is being touched up by sad old guys who want a quickie, usually in toilets and places like that. And I am definitely not into toilet bashing!"
"I was touched up by this guy sitting next to me in a coach, he kept whispering to me how nice it was and if I'd like to put a coat over my lap he would suck it for me."
"And did he, Roger?"
"No way. I didn't fancy him anyway and I am the sort of guy who likes to get to know someone first before going further."
"So you have never had a full experience with another guy Roger?"
"No, I am still waiting for that guy to come along!"
