Love and Sex

When I was really learning was when I was around eight with the experience of sleeping in the same room with some cousins where we got down on hands and knees slipping each penis into the butt crack.

There was an time while playing house that I was in an closet where we thought we were going to make a baby or pretending to be husband and wife where I tried for the first time sexual intercourse.This lead to being caught by some of the younger children ratting on us with the parents Birds and bees saying, How was it ?. I replied to what I did.

At elementary school in grade four I was receiving help for multiplication tables while the teacher as I sat on his lap he would give strange massages around the neck and sometimes down my leg.

While I was in my attic room with the parents outside an older friend came on to me by laying on top while kissing me. This was my first true passionate kiss.

When I was about ten or eleven with friends of my parents where I snuk with an lady around my age where we played with a game board like darts, instead we had balls with strips of Velcro going around the ball. There was an decorative clothes hanger that we threw the balls through before hitting the board. We tried having sexual intercourse by playing with each other’s parts with the parents outside as we were in an attic room.

When in Guadalajara, Mexico staying at an fancy Motel with friends and family as our parents were playing in the Motel bar. The same lady that I had sex with in the attic room we used to hide beneath the stairs of this Motel playing with each other on an lawn chair with the bushes hiding us from onlookers.

While in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico the same lady around my age was that we would see each other privately while the parents were playing at an fancy Hotel. I would do stuff while she was reading a book, letting me know of what was likable or not. She was in love with another gentlemen that lived across the way from the apartment building we were in.

In Puerto Vallarta, there was an time when I did fib about what an lady had said to my step mother that I said, I love you!. when asked if this was true I said, No. I was never asked about it again so either they I was lying or they sort of believed me. This older lady was an mutual friend of our base player in the band. Never really saw her after that.

When in Guadalajara during an transitional moment for the family staying at an funky motel I met this lady who was the daughter of the owner. We went to the local movie theater where
