Dad Explains His Dilemma
Part One
There had been something of a difficult atmosphere at home recently, no arguments or anything; I did not know what the problem was, my Dad seemed so quiet and stressed, not his usual chirpy self, he had recently been ill with some heart problem, and he appeared to be ok now and was on medication. Mum also seemed affected she was putting on a happy face and trying to be cheerful and act as normal as possible. It was normally such a happy home; I loved them both and hated to see them in this sort of mood. It was getting to me so I had decided to go out with a few friends, nowhere special just a movie and a pizza.
We live in a small village in Essex where everybody knows everybody else and of course each other's business so we had gone to the local town for our night out. I got home at around eleven thirty and was surprised to see my Dad in the living room on his own drinking, which was quite unusual he was not a big drinker, although he did have an occasional tipple and always with Mum. However, this time she had gone to bed, he had had a couple, although he was far from drunk and was quite lucid.
"Hi Dad you ok?" I asked him.
"Oh hi Jon, I'm fine thanks, grab a beer from the fridge and join me."
Well that was unusual, although I did have and a beer with him sometimes, it was not usual at this time of night. I sat on the sofa opposite Dad and took a sip of my beer. He was quiet for a couple of seconds, I waited for him to speak, and he was fidgeting with his glass and obviously had something on his mind.
"Jon I am sure you have noticed a little tension just recently, I apologise for that."
"No worries Dad" I answered interrupting him.
He smiled at me weakly, "you're a good lad Jon, but there are worries, you are twenty one now and man enough to hear what I have got to tell you,"
He took another sip of his whisky, took a deep breath and continued.
"Since my illness there are certain things I cannot do any more,"
"Dad I will do all I can, to help you know that," I said interrupting him.
"That's kind of what I was hoping," he chuckled, "but please hear me out this is going to be very hard for me."
He looked into his glass and was obviously searching for the right words.
"I have not been able to get an erection for quite some time now," he blurted out. "I am not sure if the medication is affecting me or that my illness has had an adverse and unexpected side effect."
I was pleased that he found me man enough to talk to, but I was embarrassed at what I had been told and swallowed hard.
"Your Mother has been very understanding and has very loving and patient," he pointed out. "But I know she misses sex badly."
Dad was now blushing and was finding this confession hard work."
I thought about what he had said and tried to reassure him, but I was also embarrassed at his confession and what he had said about Mum.
"I am sure it will all come good just be patient and try not to worry." I said trying to reassure him.
He waved his hand in a gesture of defeat,
"The doctor said that he was not sure about my recovery and that it probably never will recover at all."
He looked thoughtfully into his glass again as if hoping to find an answer to his problem there.
"I know that a son should not hear things like this about his Mother, but life and people go on the same, even after they have had children."
He paused and looked at me, "Your Mother is a very sexual person she really loves making love, she will do it at the drop of a hat, or should that be trousers," he chuckled.
"She would never refuse me at all, she really likes sex, more than that she adores it and although I try to satisfy her in other ways it is not the same for her, I have even brought her a dildo. I know she misses the feel of,"
He looked away for a second this was becoming very difficult for him, he was a proud man and this admission was hurting him.
"I know she misses the feel of a stiff penis," he said, "oh fuck lets say it as it is after all we are both grown men, she misses a good hard cock." He stressed.
I was shocked into silence as Dad described Mums personal habits and thoughts of her getting fucked came into my mind I tried to ignore them. I had always acknowledged that she is a good-looking woman for fortyish, very slim with a nice figure, but I have never looked on her in any way sexual before.
"I am embarrassed Dad" I replied.
"I know Jon," he answered softly, "this must be difficult for you, but we have always been mates and you are the only sensible one and logically the only person that can really help."
I lifted my eyebrows in surprise; I had no idea at all what I could do to help them in this situation.
"Do you find your Mother attractive, or is she repulsive to you?" he asked.
I was taken aback by the suddenness of the question "That's a strange question to ask,"
I paused and considered my words, she is a very", "pretty lady, and she has a nice looking body,"
I answered going red with shame at speaking about her in those terms. Dad smiled at me.
"Yes she is isn't she, and she could pull any man in this village if she wanted to."
I nodded agreement, my eyes downcast and not looking at him.
"I want you to know that I love her dearly and she loves me, it's for that reason that I am talking to you now." He explained quietly.
"I want your Mother to get what she has been missing, she needs to be satisfied."
