I grew up in a semi rural area before it became part of the city. After school we rode our bikes around or went to this pond and fished. We were eight and nine and my friend and I were fishing and there was just the two of us and we agreed to pee in the pond and he asked me to suck him so I did. He sucked me. We became suck buddies and found our favorite spot for sucking was in this abandoned shed. We would ride our bikes out there and we spent an afternoon sucking. We weren't old enough so mostly we had dry orgasms, but we came.

He had a neighbor, a retired man, who would let us swim naked in his pool. As we got older he gave us real blow jobs. I am talking about being around him until well past high school, he gave us blow jobs and we gave him blow jobs. By then we had learned that he was a homosexual and we were homosexual and we integrated into the homosexual club in the area.

The area had many homosexual men, most of them married with families and everybody kept everybody else's secret. We had parties, pool parties in the summer or living room parties in the winter. And some of those parties became hedonistic and lots of fun.

The AIDS epidemic put a halt to all that. Unfortunately my growing up friend succumbed to that scourge. I had paired up with my partner, we owned an antique furniture business and avoided the worse of the epidemic.

I see lots of homosexuals who have a need to exhibit their lifestyle. That is not for us. We are discreet, I suppose much of that comes with our age.
