Thousand and Second Night

“Are you sure my father is gone,” I asked as I went to the record player and put Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade on. Meaningfully enough, it was a recording made by the Florence, Italy, Symphony Orchestra.

Coaching

I am a college coach. I do not fit any given renditions that are formulated out, approved, and switched ‘on’ to function in the oft ill-designed machine of the educating of what dodgers have deemed “what you need to know to get some sheepskin around here”. What I coach is how to be human according to standards that have yielded […]

Cambridge Men

Lord Henry Whitridge was used to being master of his own world. He wielded effortless command over any milieu in which he found himself, whether it was among his family, his Cambridge classmates, or the tenants of the estate he had inherited from his father. He possessed all the traits a gentleman ought to have–beauty, strength, wit, wealth–all in perfect […]

Joey Gets Trained

Carl Anderson and his teenaged nephew Joey arrived at Grange Hollow Polytechnic Junior College a little early for orientation. Joey was whining and complaining as usual, but Uncle Carl had tuned out. He was looking for directions to the main auditorium. He looked lost enough that Tom Bellamy, a local lumber yard worker and volunteer at the school, came up […]

Job Hunting

I sat nervously, hoping that the interview I was about to have would lead to a job. I’d been out of work so long that I was behind in everything. My apartment rent was 6 months in arrears. My car had been repossessed. My hair hadn’t been cut in months. My girlfriend took off. I’d ironed the shirt I wore […]

The German Tourist

It had been weeks since my first time with a man. Part of me thought my out-of-control desires and cravings for cock (and men in general) would settle down after this first encounter. At the very least, I thought they might ‘normalize’ to more manageable levels. They hadn’t. I was now craving cock more than ever. Thoughts of older men […]

Friday Night

I’m not convinced that I knew with any certainty why I chose this night to work up the courage to walk into what was known to be a gay bar in a neighborhood not far from where I lived. All outward appearances would mark me as straight, but I had a secret desire to be with men for many years. […]

Sex with My Co-worker Julio

When I turned 18, I lived in L.A. and had a job as a parking attendant. The parking company made money by taking the tips we got from customers and paying us minimum wages. They would transfer us around to any parking lot that needed us sometimes moving us in the same day or night. On a particular evening I […]

A New Beginning

I’ve always considered myself to be a decent looking guy. Never a real whiz with the ladies but I did alright. Spent 10 years in a train wreck of a marriage, just didn’t matter what I did, I couldn’t please her. Everything was wrong all of the time and I finally had enough and filed for divorce. Now in my […]

Highly Desired

“Okay Takahashi, Aaaarrre Yyyyyou Rrreeeaady?” The announcer sang to a flustered Takahashi. “Uh, yes, I think so.” Takahashi stammered. The studio lights flashed a brilliant blinding white light before a loud obnoxious siren signalled the beginning of the final round. The announcer pulled out his cards and addressed the crowd. “And Aaararrre YYYOOUU Rrreeeaaady!! He sang to the crowd
