Subject: Double First Time - part 1 (Gay First Encounters)

It was in 1985 I first new Tad. He and I lived in the same dorm. Can't say
we became "friends" but we knew each other -- both single guys. I must say
Tad always caught my eye -- he was tall, light blue eyes with blonde hair,
on the thin side, but looked very strong. Very Scandinavian looking. We
passed in the halls -- sometimes saw each other in the communal
showers...but NEVER did or said anything about anything.

Nearly 20 years later, I am managing a branch of a company chain. I had
learned during that time Tad was also a manager. Later, I learned he was
being used on occasion as a traveling trainer -- to visit branches around
the world and make sure everything was running the way headquarters
desired.

Lo and behold -- we receive communication we're to have a visit from the
traveling manager. Who is it? Tad!!! By now, now only am I 41 years old
(the same age as Tad I would find out), but I'm happily married. Yet, my
heart skips a beat when I hear he's coming.

Part of our local branch's arrangement is to care for the accommodations
and meals for Tad while he's in town -- make sure he has all he
needs. Fortunately, my wife is happy to help me do that, and he's made
quite comfortable during his week with our company.

One important thing to say right up front: while I'd had thoughts and
feelings about guys for decades, I was still a virgin with them. Never had
I ever acted out anything. I would soon find out -- Tad was in the same
situation!!! He was still single -- but happily so, and not with any gay
tendencies to speak of.

Over the first few days, Tad and I enjoyed "catching up" and just enjoying
the familiarity of our background, age, and status in life. Admittedly, it
was generally with my wife or others in the company, so we were not really
alone.

One evening, Tad and I did manage to get some hours along, and talked at
great length....about personal things. He was so interested in what it was
like to be married, to have a companion. It was obvious he was also
interested in knowing what it was like to be intimate with someone.....

I finally couldn't stand it, and told Tad exactly what I felt when I heard
he was coming, that I was excited and happy. His reaction: he smiled from
ear to ear, happy to hear someone acknowledged him.

Now that that was out, it was easier to talk about the friendship we'd
never really had, but that had had potential from 20 years before. After
about 30 minutes of talking...and enjoying martinis together....I leaned
over...and lightly kissed him on the side of his mouth. It was a
closed-mouthed kiss..but just something to show the affection I had for
him.

At first, he looked stunned..and I thought I'd made a grave mistake. Then,
his blonde eyebrows slightly raised, and he smiled. He slid closer to me,
and returned the favor -- but this was not closed-mouthed peck! Tad first
put his face right up to mine -- and enjoyed smelling me. Fortunately, I
was wearing my best cologne, and had splashed some on my face. He 'ummed'
at my smell. And I melted at his.

Though I had made the first move, I froze, waiting to see what Tad would
do. Finally, he nibbled -- first -- on my lower lip, which ran shivers up
my spine. Then, he gently angled his head, and planted his thin, very warm
lips over mine, and used his bubble-gum tongue to taste my mouth. His
tongue just gently pushed through my teeth (which I quickly opened for
him!) caressed my mouth inside, but then -- rather than 'finishing' and
pulling out, he lingered in kissing me with his lips....'umm-ing' all the
time as if he was eating chocolate mousse.

I think I almost came in my pants. I had never been kissed by a man, and it
was the most delicious feeling I'd ever had -- up to that moment.

As Tad leaned back, to let us both breathe -- my eyes were in a permanent
state of crossed. Tad just smiled. He had shown his power over me, and I
KNEW he'd done this before. So I asked him when he knew he was gay. He
turned so red -- and admitted he was just like me: he had never every in
his life made a move on a guy.

I thought: what are the chances that two of us with the same feelings who
had never acted them out with anyone would be together to explore these
feelings? It was a marvelous time!

Filled with warmness -- our 'foreplay' was short-lived because we were in
my apartment for only an hour or so, with my wife and others due back
soon. So, we had to come up with a plan and fast to make the best of the
few days left ahead........

And that...is continued in part 2 of my story!!!!
