Jared - Super Bowl XXV - Kyle

On January 27, 1991, my family was having their annual Super Bowl party. Everyone must attend two holidays in our home: Christmas and the Super Bowl. This year was even more special since it was the Giants vs. Bills. Living on the outskirts of Rochester, my family has always been Bills fans. My brother’s best friend, Kyle, moved into the house three doors down from us in 1985, and he seemed to be a staple of the family ever since. He always loved coming to our Super Bowl parties, and he’s...

Allen - A French Connection - Fritz

Early in the summer of 2014, I was traveling to Paris with my longtime girlfriend, Deanna, her parents, her brother, and his girlfriend. Her parents were planning to renew their wedding vows for their 30th anniversary. I was just happy for the free trip to Paris.

We were in the beautiful city for a week. Her father had planned a daily adventure that everyone had to participate in, and then we had the rest of the day to ourselves, expected to meet up for dinner every evening. During the ...

Josh - Creepy "Uncle" Nevel

My father was a Marine, mother was a stay-at-home mom. I have two older sisters. My father joined the service just after Vietnam ended. He’s since climbed the ranks, and as a military brat, I’ve traveled the continental US and been the new kid in school more than thirteen times since kindergarten because of his transfers. 

I was raised as a military son. I have at least 27 model military vehicles in my bedroom. I only own clothes purchased at the PX, so they are military green,...

Campbell - Brothers' Roommate - Zaire

In the spring of 1998, I turned 18 while still a high school senior. I was more the athlete in the family than the academic. That was more my brother's thing. He was 21 and in college. We were always close, but started drifting when he went away to Morehouse University. 

We grew up in Georgia, our father ran the local garage, and our mother was a stay-at-home mom. She didn’t put up with any of the shenanigans my friends got up to with their parents. We dressed “appropriately”...

Fletcher - The Wrong Lube - Egan

I graduated from high school in the spring of ‘91. I decided to take a gap year and do some traveling. I was by no means a virgin, but was incredibly careful with who and when I had sex because puberty struck at the exact same time the “gay plague” became headline news. I don’t know what terrified me more, catching it or being outed to my family. It’s a coin flip, really. So I stayed deep in the closet. Overcompensating with sports every season, so I could say I was “too busy to d...

Dillon - Part X - Closed, Not Latched

After graduation, Elliot and I moved to New York City. I thought it would be wild and crazy, but we quickly settled into a condo in SoHo that has been in his family for almost 80 years. His parents didn’t charge us rent, but he insisted we pay for the maintenance fees and any other bills that came along. As it would turn out, those fees added up pretty quickly, and it wasn’t much cheaper than paying rent, but you really can’t beat the area.

The first two years were pretty amazing,...

Dillon - Part IX - Acceptence

Elliot really grew on me. After I broke up with LeeAnne and became a free agent, I thought I would be a man about town, or at least the king of the frat house, because I was a senior living in the house. No, the universe had other plans for me, and a one-time turned two-time hookup with Elliot became a regular thing.

Even when we had parties at the house, it was as if blinders went up, and I couldn’t see anyone, male or female, to hook up with because I just kept checking my phone to...

Happy Holidays!

As a holiday gift, this weeks post is dropping tomorrow instead of Friday!

As someone traveling for the holiday and spending way too much quality time with people I love, with no release of my own, I thought it would be nice for those who can to be able to relax and read this weeks story at the end of the Christmas holiday. Especially since you'll all be busy watching Heated Rivalry or Stranger Things on Friday anyway.

This weeks story is one of the two last stories I have...

Evan - My Obsession - Part III

Thanksgiving came and went, and even though I broke the promise to myself about not letting Trevor fuck me again, and more importantly, not letting him fuck me bareback again, I still enjoyed a few days home with my family.

No surprise I didn’t hear from Trevor for a while. Once he got what he wanted, he was back to being “straight” and had no interest in even being a friend, so fuck him. I returned to my classes for the next couple of weeks before Christmas break began. Even thou...

Dillon - Part VIII -Boyfriend Material

After my hookup with Elliot, I felt insanely guilty and started to spiral. With the holidays coming up, there was no way I’d be able to have sex with LeeAnne with a clean conscience. We stopped using condoms early on in our relationship because she has an IUD, and…that was all the convincing I needed because we were committed to each other. Now I’ve broken that trust. Of course, I can’t be sure she has been faithful either. Especially since I keep seeing more and more pictures of “G...

Dillon - Part VII - Cheating Is Cheating

During summer break, I felt a weird sense of disconnect from who I am, who I was, and who I want to be in five years. I realized I had become a bit obsessed with sex with other guys, mostly with Tank, and when I realized I had grown an emotional attachment to Tank, not just sexual, it kind of scared me. So I did the very healthy thing of deciding I wouldn’t hook up with men anymore.

When I crossed paths with a girl I briefly dated in high school who was also back for the summer. We ca...

Dillon - VI - Kind of Bisexual

After the holidays, I started thinking hard about my recent sexual experiences and ‘what it all means.’ I did a lot of mental gymnastics to convince myself that I am probably bisexual on the Kinsey scale, but closer toward heterosexual because ‘it’s only sex’ for me, no emotions, hell, I couldn’t imagine having feelings for a guy the same way I’ve had feelings for women.

I got myself tested after my wild night and morning with Ronan. I promised myself after my results came...

Dillon - Part V - Not 100% Straight

It felt like I had only blinked my eyes when I woke up to a warm body crawling into bed with me from behind. It wasn’t until a masculine arm draped over me that I was really brought back to reality. I tried to crack my eyes open. There was some morning sunlight bouncing off a neighbouring house, and it washed the room with a soft glow. My head was very foggy, not still drunk, but not yet in the hangover phase either. The arm draped over me…it had to be the guy from last night…his name�...

Dillon - Part IV - Ronan

In such a short amount of time, I had gone from “completely straight” to “I’m not gay, I’m just horny and guys are easy.”

My roommate and best friend, Alessandro, had popped my cherry and proved my enjoyment wasn’t just that one drunken night. After a bit of back and forth in my head about “what it all means” and thinking maybe I was possibly bi but just for Alessandro, I had an intense hookup with Tank, a guy I never would’ve thought would be into a hook up with a g...

Dillon - All Guys Do It - Tank (Part III)

I’m a little embarrassed to admit that, the morning after I woke up, having given two blow jobs to two different guys, and I think I asked my roommate Alessandro to fuck me, that’s when I started to really panic. I guess I was mad when Aley had acted like we hadn’t fucked after the Halloween party, but now that we are having breakfast, and he’s not denying it…I’m way more panicked. I didn’t know what to say. As Aley wolfed down his breakfast, I struggled to eat a waffle.

Dillon - Post Nut Clarity

Amongst other things, I always took pride in my ability to make an awkward situation comfortable. When you go through puberty while also playing sports, you learn to not feel awkward about your body, nakedness, and, more importantly, other guys' bodies and nakedness. Leading up to last week's Halloween party, I had really lost any shyness about my nudity or my roommate Alessandro’s nudity, to the point where our jerking off five feet from each other had become not just a regular thing, but ...

Dillon - Haloween - Alessandro

I’m one of the guys who always knew he was straight—never questioned my sexuality—never cared about other people’s sexuality. I was also pretty progressive on the subject compared to other guys my age, and for the early 2000s in Kansas. I was one of those guys who told his friends to stop using the phrase “that’s gay” to describe something that wasn’t cool. I also played a fair amount of ‘gay chicken’ over the last couple of years with my friends, and never got turned on, ...

Camden - Job Interview

“Camden, stop bitching and meet us at Dorothy’s tonight,” Ben said.

He couldn’t see me roll my eyes on the phone as I pulled out my wallet and looked at the last of my cash. “I really shouldn’t. Especially if I don’t nail this interview today.”

He let out a heavy sigh, “Dude, if you bomb the interview, that’s all the more reason to come out. Drown your sorrows in a pink Cosmo, maybe suck some dick, or even better, top a twink.”

I chuckled. I haven’t b...

Byron - Senior Ball

***All Characters are 18+***

Being in the closet all of high school was easy for me. I found internet chat rooms around the same time my balls dropped, and it only took a few nights of “cyber sex” to confirm what I suspected: I like guys.

I had lost my virginity to a guy at a nearby college as soon as I got my driver's license, and it became a regular thing for a while. Not any kind of relationship, just sex every few weeks. Always safe. It mig...

Simon - Aaron's House Party

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Mnewz8fTKnKR9VbgmAa9h?si=Nvvib1TXTIe8NtAcaZV1Tw

I came out as soon as I moved into my freshman dorms in the fall of 1991. Well, I came out to everyone I met, keeping my sexuality hidden from my family and friends back home. I wasn’t a virgin by any means, but I was practicing safe sex, as were most guys by the early 90s.

O...

Reed - Giving In - Zeke

I always had urges towards other guys. Since the first hair sprouted down there, I would get turned on by every attractive body, male or female, it didn’t matter; my dick would tingle. Going through puberty in the early '90s, you learned two things: gay sex means you get AIDS, and that’s that; you are also ostracized by your family and friends. So I learned to suppress those urges, at least enough to date and have sex with girls. Telling myself I could do it because I’m genuinely attrac...

Logan - Making Rent

In my third year at NYU in 2004, my friend Jason found a great deal on a rent-stabilized apartment in Greenwich Village. It wasn’t a great apartment; from the looks of it, I’d say it was last renovated in the early 70s. But the Village is a prime location, and while going to college, it was unbeatable. It meant our place was within walking distance to all the best bars, which meant sex, sex, and more sex. We lived it up, too. 

For two years, neither of us had a steady girlfrien...

Update

In order to keep my promise to deliver a weekly quality story, I started using an app to read the stories back to me as written. This really helps in the edit process to find errors or typos that my brain filters out while reading on my own. This cuts down on the edit time and allows me to deliver them with as few errors as possible.

I have been wanting for a while to do an audio accompaniment with these stories, and, full disclosure, if "we" like it, I'll add it to future stories at no...

Ashton - On the Clock - Malik

Working freelance, I have random days off. It’s hard to gauge if it’s truly a “day off” or if it’s going to be the only day I have to clean my apartment and do laundry before I run out of clean clothes. Today is one of those random Tuesdays I have off. So, I took a shower and put on some charcoal grey Pact brand briefs with a black waistband, which I bought on impulse from a Facebook ad. I hadn't realized they were on sale because they were about to release an entirely new version, ...

Guys on Grindr

This guy missed me on my most recent work trip, but we kept chatting because I travel there for work a few times a year and he's hoping to slide into more than my DMs. He's hot, physically, but gives me nothing to stimulate me mentally. Exhibit A: he asked about a time I can remember "getting caught up in the moment," and I have him this story. He gave me a "you know the story."

Evan - My Obsession - Part II

I spent a lot of time jerking off to the idea of Trevor fucking me back in high school. In practice, he had no finesse; he barely was inside me before he was blowing his load, and even though it filled a fantasy I had about him, it was lacking all of the things I liked about sex with other guys, like kissing or getting pleasure out of the experience. 

Still…the further from the experience I got, as days turned into weeks with no responses from him, I sort of paid no attention to ...

Evan - My Obsession

Obsession is a weird thing. I was obsessed with a straight guy, who I secretly always thought was bisexual if not gay. He was a stereotypical jock in our high school. He ran with a pack of jocks, who ranged from decent to D-bag. Of course, in the halls or around his bros, my straight guy Trevor would act up and say stupid shit, but then when we were paired up as partners in the classes that sat us in alphabetical order by last names, he would always be incredibly nice to me. I could’ve been...

Justin - Undetectable Omari

It was a typical Friday night, having drinks with my older coworkers at TGI Fridays, secretly swiping on the apps that you swipe, scrolling on the ones that you don’t. As a bisexual, my body count with guys is considerably higher than with women. Mostly because on a Friday night, after a long week of working at Best Buy, I just want to have a drink and get laid. I don’t want to talk about my feelings or put in the effort it takes to get a woman to go to bed with me. With men, I can just s...

Trent - Trying Viagra

For our sophomore year of college, my friends and I found an apartment just off campus. It’s a two-bedroom, but the bedrooms are massive, so we put two double beds in each room and have been living together for two years now, and saving a ton of money by doubling up like this. I’m in the room with Jasper, and Bryce shares the other room with Joseph. Jas and I roomed together freshman year in a dorm, Bryce and Joseph in another dorm, but since the four of us moved in together, it’s been ...

Gallagher - Third Time's The Charm

*** All Characters are 18+ ***

I was on the fence about my sexuality. I had experimented with guys and girls back in school, and while sex with girls didn't blow me away, bottoming for guys was confusingly equal parts exciting and unpleasant. Topping a guy was fun, too, but again… not the “oh my God” experience my friends described their sex as. 

Early in my freshman year of college, I was pretty sexually frustrated despite having opportunitie...
