It's not like I had that much sex before my divorce. My wife was never really into it and, frankly, with her cold-fish approach, it didn't do that much for me either. So for most of my life, my sex life has consisted of beating off once a week or so. I've just never been one of those guys who's much good at getting what he wants, never really have been much good at speaking up for myself. I guess that's why I've had the same crappy job for 20 years. Good old Ted. Everybody loves me 'cause I do all the shit no one else wants to, take all the lousy hours on holidays, never complain. Just my nature, I guess. I'd always hoped that someday my ex would actually want to have sex with me, maybe take charge a little, show me what she wanted. That was my fantasy. Right up until the day she told me, "Look, Ted, you're a really nice guy and all, but I need more out of life" and handed me the papers.
Had a hard time since then, even beating off. She's the only woman I'd ever been with, but it's hard to fantasize about someone who's dumped you after 15 years of marriage, especially when she takes up with a guy you know and you hear through the grapevine that he's bragging about what a great lay she is. Just one more thing I never did right, I guess.
So I hadn't cum in better than a month. I'd get horny, start beating off, the usual fantasy, but then that would always turn into her and him and I go soft. Hell of a thing. Starting to get to me, though. Fucking blue balls, like I was back in high school.
Then I'm driving home from work one night and up on the right I see Central Street Adult Books. Driven past it a million times, never been in there. I've never really looked at porn much, a few magazines back when I was in high school, and the guys had a porn film at my bachelor party, but that was kind of embarrassing, watching some girl getting fucked with all these guys standing around. These two guys from work that had kinda crashed the party, guys I didn't know that well, they started having a contest, standing there beating off, trying to see who could cum first. A mess of the other guys joined in, pretty soon there a dozen guys with their cocks out, stroking away, giving each other shit, all of them trying to get me to join in. I didn't. Something about that made me feel really, I dunno, weird. I just watched.
Anyway, the bookstore is up ahead, the fantasy with my ex wasn't working for me anymore, and I really wanted to get my rocks off, so I figured maybe I could find something in the bookstore that would float my boat. Figured it was worth a shot anyway. Not like I was married anymore, I guess I had the right.
So I pulled in.
I walked in the door, started heading for the magazine rack, when the guy behind the counter stopped me.
"Got a $5 browsing fee, man. Refundable against your purchase, or you can just take tokens for the back."
"What's in the back?" I asked.
He gave me that what-a-dumbass look that I'm pretty used to. "Video booths."
He had the stack of tokens right there on the counter, so that seemed like the easiest way to end the conversation. I handed him a five, put the tokens in my jacket pocket, and headed over to check out the magazines.
The front of the store was actually pretty small - a rack of magazines, a rack with some sex toys and things on it, a few racks of videos. I was surprised because the building was fairly long. I guess the booths in the back took up most of the room. I flipped through a few of the magazines, mostly all the same stuff. Girls sucking guys, girls getting fucked, some group stuff. Kind of depressing for me because the pictures reminded me of something else, too. I definitely wasn't one of those guys.
When I was in high school, I was always one of the smallest guys, always a little embarrassed in the shower in gym class. All the other guys getting taller, filling out, getting hairier. My mom kept telling me "Don't worry honey, you'll hit your growth spurt eventually." Yeah, a couple inches junior year. Topped out at 5'6" and even though I've never really exercised much and don't pay any attention to what I eat, I only weigh 135 pounds.
And another thing. Those cocks in the magazines? I don't have one of those either. Or even an average one, probably. I guess every guy has measured his cock at some point. Mine's not quite six inches and not real thick, either. One of the reasons I didn't join the circle jerk at the bachelor party. Pretty clear I would have had the smallest dick there, and something about being around other guys when they were naked, or even when they just had there cocks out, always made me feel funny.
Anyway, the magazines weren't doing anything for me. I was going to leave when I remembered the tokens in my pocket. Figured what the hell, might as well at least check out the videos.
I went through the door with the sign over it that said VIDEOS. Dark as hell back there, had to stop for a minute, let my eyes adjust. Long hallway, doors on both sides. There were little lights over the doors, some of them lit, most of them not. I guess the ones that were lit were the ones someone was already using. There were a few guys loitering in the hallway.
Down toward the end, there were a series of booths with all the lights out. No one was loitering there, so I headed down that way. I knew I'd be in the booth alone, but I really didn't want to be around anyone. As I got to the end of the hallway, I realized there was a corner, with a few more booths to the right. Even darker down that way, so dark I didn't see the guy I bumped into, partly because he was all dressed in black. Black jeans, black t-shirt, black leather jacket. He had Mediterranean complexion, greased back dark hair and a thick black moustache. He was at least six inches taller than me, probably more, and built like a football lineman.
"Excuse me," I said.
He just looked down at me, stared into my eyes, didn't move, didn't say anything.
I didn't want to walk past him, so I turned and ducked into the first booth behind me and shut the door.
I was certainly feeling awkward, but I was also getting a hard on. Guess the magazines worked a little after all, that and just being in this new place, as weird as it was, the whole thing had an erotic twinge to it. The booth was bigger than I expected, with a bench along the wall to my right and a TV screen across from it. There was a console on the wall by the bench where you dropped your tokens in. so I fed them into the slot. The TV lit up.
It was two guys, one about the size of the guy I bumped into and one more like me. They were both naked. The one like me was on his knees. The big guy was holding the little guy's head in both hands and thrusting a massive cock in and out of his mouth. Shocked me a little, but I guess it shouldn't have. There's been some gay magazines up front, so I guess they'd have some gay movies, too. I pushed the channel button. Another gay film. Had to push it a few times before I saw a woman on the screen.
A tall blond, dressed in a business suit. Very athletic woman, broad shouldered. Business meeting of some kind, I guess, because the guy was in a suit, too. Not as small as me, but not a huge guy, just kind of average, I guess. The woman reached down, grabbed him by his tie, pulled him to his feet and kissed him, hard.
