Growing up my father was not around for the dreaded “talk” about sex and now at age 17 or 18 my naivety and confusion were not difficult to understand during this pre-internet time and understanding of gender identity was still many years away. Looking back my mother was generations ahead of her time when it came to not pushing me towards having interests that were specifically male and naturally the whole issue of dress and deportment. She believed in letting me act, dress and behave in the gender of my choosing.
At the time I was dating Elise, but I was beginning to realize that my feelings towards her were not in the boyfriend/girlfriend way. Our clumsy sexual touching felt more like experimentation for me and to be honest I didn’t feel comfortable in the typical male position of being the perpetrator or aggressor in the sexual relationship. Not knowing it at the time I think I was more comfortable being the one in the female role or the one being touched and groped.
The timing of
this partial awakening coincided with my mother beginning to date a pastor from
our church and for the first time in years there was a male presence in my
life. Early on my mom suggested he take me out golfing one afternoon so we
could get to know each other. I had played a little in the past usually just
knocking the ball around the yard or at a local driving range. T turned out
that I was a natural at golf and in a very short period of time I became very
good and was shooting in the low 80’s and 70’s. Good enough o be on the school
golf team which Pastor Eric encouraged me to join.
I don’t really
remember my father being around much while I was growing up, he was busy
travelling for business and when he was home my parents did their own thing and
ignored each other. When my parents were still together there was never any
outward signs of intimacy to each other, and I never heard them in their bedroom.
My parents were
not affectionate towards each other, but Pastor Eric was extremely affectionate
with my mother when he came over on weekends and one or two evenings a week.
They were constantly holding hands; he would whisper into her ear and she would
giggle or blush.
My mom also
would always dress very nicely and that was always a clue that they would be
going out on a date, or he would be coming over. I also noticed during my forays
into my mother’s lingerie drawers and the laundry hamper that she now was
wearing fancier and prettier lingerie.
When they were
side by side, he would often squeeze her bottom when he thought I was not
looking and other times when I was I the other room I could hear him give my
mom’s bum a sharp slap and she would playfully say something. Even when they
watched TV or just sat on the sofa together, they were always side by side and
his hand was on her thigh and sometimes I spotted it up higher and inching
under the hem of her dress. Mom would playfully push his hand away, but I still
noticed it and what usually transpired was that soon she would tell me that it
was time for bed even if it was not that late.
She would tell
me that if I went to my bedroom I could stay up and read which I agreed to but
I was not reading I was flipping through the stash of catalogues I hid under my
bed with one hand and stroking myself in my diapers with the other and I would
soon drift off to sleep
I was so unbelievably naïve at age 18 that the first time I was awakened in my room to the sound of my mother’s bed, which shared a common wall with my room in our small house, banging against the wall, the bedsprings squeaking loudly and the sound of my mother moaning. I actually got out of bed went to my mother’s bedroom door opened it and stood there in shock at the sight of my naked mother on all fours and Pastor Eric thrusting his penis into my mother over and over.
The very first
time I watched them having sex from the dark hallway I was caught and that lead
to a very embarrassing and frank discussion about sex from my mother. It was
not a clinical discussion but rather about how couples enjoy sex and some of the
things they enjoy which are all part of a relationship.
I know it
sounds bizarre and creepy, but I was fascinated by the sounds of them having
sex. You would have thought that the fact I was caught spying on them would end
my voyeuristic desires, but it had the opposite effect. Since my bedroom door
was open and our home was quite small, I could hear them chatting and giggling
in the living room. It was not long before the chatting stopped, and I could
hear soft moans and the sound of kissing. Soon after I could hear them go into
my mom’s room and the sounds were much louder. They always had sex with the
bedside lamp on and the door partially open. When I started to hear the bed
squeak and the headboard banging against the wall I would sneak out of my room
and peek into their room from the dark hallway. The way the bed was situated in
relation to the door made it that I was slightly behind them, so they could not
easily see me.
They almost
always had sex doggie style and Pastor Eric would make love to her very
aggressively. He would grab her bum, her breasts and sometimes her hair as he
made love to her. He would tell her what to do and physically flip her over to
change positions. I found this so exciting especially when she was on her back
and he would kiss her as he pumped his cock into her.
Oral sex
confused me and frightened me again he was always quite aggressive and almost
demanding. He would hold her head as she sucked him and often it looked like
she was making love to her mouth.
Soon after my mom stopped seeing Pastor Eric and she dated and brought home a wide variety of mostly older men. It would be an understatement to say she had an active love life, she would quietly tell me to go to my room but within 10 minutes I would quietly sneak out of my room and peer down from the top of the stairs into the living room below and watch her and her boyfriend kiss, fondle each other and invariably she would unzip his pants and stroke his penis. I was fascinated how their penises were different than mine. They all had large, circumcised penises that were both longer and thicker than mine. I came to the realize that mine was so much smaller and skinnier plus I was uncircumcised, so it looked rather pathetic. Something I have been very sensitive about my entire life.
After watching for a little while I would go back to my room because it would not be long before they went up to her room. I would lay on my bed listening to them whispering then soft moaning would come through the thin walls. As soon as I heard the bed start to squeak and the headboard band against the wall, I made a habit of peeking through their partially opened bedroom door watching
them I bed. It was then that I was becoming very aware that I was fantasizing about men’s penises and about being the “woman” not the aggressor male. noticed that almost every one of her boyfriends liked to have sex differently. I enjoyed it the most when they had sex in the missionary position. I envisioned that I was the one on their back with my legs spread and being kissed and fucked.
My yearnings were beginning to develop and change, with it brought considerable confusion and at times angst.
