It was a traumatic experience for my wife Cynthia and I when we had to leave our beautiful home on the ocean in San Diego and move to Atlanta. I am the Group President for a business segment that was sold by our parent company and we needed to move for me to keep my lucrative job.
My name is Ed, and at fifty years old, Cindy and I didn’t expect a move like that but we made the most of it and searched for the best neighborhood we could find. We finally settled on a restricted-access development that is known for its parks and wooded trails. I was looking forward to continuing my evening runs on the trails. This story describes a life-changing event that occurred several months ago because of a man I met on one of the trails.
I’m a pretty normal guy at six feet tall and weighing one hundred and eighty pounds, and I am in good shape from my running and workout regimens. I consider myself to be more of a hard-charging alpha male type. It is important to me to stay in shape. Cindy is beautiful, trim and fit, and we have had an active sex life from before we were married. So, I never have the desire or the need to look for any kind of sex elsewhere.
We got settled quickly in our new home, and I resumed my evening runs. There is a particularly beautiful and hilly trail, that isn’t heavily used by others, and it winds through thick, mature woods. I really enjoyed the solitude that allowed me to think and solve my problems of the day. I seldom saw anyone else on the trail, except a couple of very attractive women with big breasts and overall beautiful bodies.
After several months running there, I started to see another man running, or rather more like walking fast and trying to run. He is a big, white guy who looks to be about six feet three inches tall, and I’m guessing that he weighs about three hundred pounds. He isn’t what I would call morbidly obese, but he probably needs to lose at least fifty or sixty pounds to be at a healthy weight. He isn’t particularly handsome either, but I guessed he had to have a good job and income to have access to the trails in our community.
The other man and I must have had similar schedules, because I saw him out there almost every evening. He was always huffing, puffing and working hard to keep moving as fast as he could. Then one night I stopped and sat on a bench to rest and enjoy the reverie of the woods, and he came up and sat on the other end of the bench. We exchanged the usual pleasantries. I found out that his name is Maxwell and he doesn’t live too far from me.
Sitting on the bench, I saw that his belly is rather large and his thighs are heavy and thick. He altogether isn’t a very attractive fellow but he seemed very intelligent and is somewhat soft spoken. We continued to meet on that bench most days and I think we got to know one another pretty well. I enjoyed talking with him and learned that he is a forty-nine-year-old psychiatrist, which made sense judging from his calm demeanor and probing blue eyes. When I found out that he is a doctor, I sometimes called him Doc. We also enjoy watching those two women run by when they're in the area.
After several weeks meeting like that, we were comfortable enough with one another to talk about some personal things and even make off-color comments. One day when those two attractive ladies ran by us, they smiled and waved. We got a perfect view of their big breasts bouncing in front of them. I'm perfectly happy with my sex life at home, but after they passed us, I suppose I was just trying to seem like a guy’s guy when I made a comment.
I said to Maxwell, “Holy shit, that's really some prime pussy. Wouldn’t it be nice to get a piece of either one of them?”
Maxwell kind of groaned and said, “You can say that again, Ed. But I’d be happy to get a piece of any pussy these days.”
I looked at him and said, “Come on, Doc, you’re a married man. You must be getting something at home.”
He looked down at the ground and said, “You’d think so, Ed, but my wife is withholding her pussy until I lose at least fifty more pounds. I had an accident two years ago and was laid up for a year. I gained over one hundred and ten pounds from the inactivity. Before that, I weighed around two hundred pounds. She’s using her pussy as a weapon to give me the incentive to lose more weight.”
Then I was feeling bad about bringing his wife up, and I wanted to say something to help him feel better. I said, “Maybe one of those pretty ladies who run by here would like to help you out.”
He laughed and said, “Come on now, Ed. Do you really think women who look like that would want anything to do with someone who looks like me? Fuck, I’d be lucky to get a guy to suck my cock at this point.”
I have to admit to being naive about men having sex with other men at that point, and it seemed pretty repugnant to me. So, I asked, “Do you mean that you’d let another man suck your cock? You’d really want to be around gay guys like that?”
Max looked at me and said, “In the first place, men don’t have to be gay to have a desire to suck cock. There are a wide range of bisexual persuasions between being either purely heterosexual or homosexual. Secondly, there are more men than you might imagine who enjoy sucking other men’s cocks, and even swallowing their semen and sperm.”
I must have forgotten momentarily that he is a psychiatrist, and said, “Whoa, Max, how do you know so much about that stuff?”
He responded, “I have seen quite a few men in therapy who are struggling with their desires for other men. Most of them are just normal married guys like you and me, and they don’t have any desire to kiss or otherwise be romantic with other men. Usually something has happened in their lives that made them realize they are attracted to other men’s cocks. It sometimes happens when their wives go through menopause, or lose interest in sex for other reasons, and they aren’t getting satisfied at home.”
I was curious about that and said, “I’m confused, Doc. If they're looking for sex, why wouldn’t they just start looking for other women to fuck?”
Max laughed and said, “That seems logical, but some men feel like it would be cheating if they fucked other women and they still have enough respect for their wives not to do that. Besides, things can get complicated pretty quickly with romantic entanglements if a married man starts fucking around with other women. Those men will turn to internet porn for some relief, and eventually to other men, and not feel guilty about that.”
I was still confused and asked, “So how do those men become interested in cocks?”
Max thought for a moment and replied, “Some of my patients have told me that they first started looking at straight porn, and then came across bisexual and cuckold sites. For some of them it was the first time they had seen other men’s cocks sexualized that way. It stirred strange feelings inside them.”
He paused for a minute to gather his thoughts and said, “You see, Ed, most men have seen other men naked in the showers in high school, college, or in the military services. But there an unspoken code that men don’t look at other men’s genitals in those situations, and rarely see another man with a hard cock. When they see men’s hard cocks in the pictures and videos, it can affect some men in interesting ways. Some patients have told me that as much as they like looking at naked women, they're also aroused by seeing men with hard or semi-hard cocks and low-hanging balls.”
I was more interested in that than I thought I should be and asked, “So given all that you've said, how do those guys make a transition to actually sucking cock?”
Max responded, “Some of them said they were on porn chat sites, and saw messages from men looking to either suck or be sucked by other men. It got them thinking about it. And if they had gone without sex from the wife for long enough, then those requests to meet could be tempting.”
I then asked, “But how would a guy know if he wanted to be sucked or to suck a cock? I don’t see how it would happen.”
Max nodded and said, “Now you’re getting to the interesting part of this, psychologically speaking. Some men are looking to suck and to be sucked. Others are either mostly dominant and just want to be serviced. While still others have a more-submissive personality sexually, and just want to suck other men with no reciprocation. Many of those sexually-submissive men are normal, macho guys in all other aspects of their lives, but for some reason they enjoy giving oral pleasure to other men. Most of my patients with those types of sexual issues are the submissive type, so I have a lot of knowledge about them.”
That whole thing was getting more interesting, and I asked, “I’m not asking you to reveal any specific personal situations, Doc, but how do you approach therapy with those types of men?”
He looked serious for a few seconds and said, “Therapy is a little different for each of my patients, but they are all usually conflicted and embarrassed about having those desires. Many of the men are alpha male types, and those bisexual yearnings sometimes make them hate themselves for having such sexually-submissive feelings. My main goal is to try to explore their minds to identify the source of their feelings and desires, and to convince them that it isn’t their fault. After we understand the source, we then work together to find ways for them to control those emotions. Some men come to enjoy providing sexual pleasure to other men, and I try to give them advice on how to do it safely.”
I don’t know much, if anything, about psychology, and couldn’t validate that Doc’s analysis was correct, but it seemed plausible to me. There was still something that I didn’t understand, so I asked, “But how can you convince them that it’s not their fault, just by talking with them?”
Doc replied, “Well, that is the essence of my approach to therapy, but we do have some useful tools. Hypnosis can sometimes help me delve deep enough to find the answers, but I also have a device and analysis technique that gives some interesting results. It’s called a plethysmograph or phallometric measurement. It reveals the amount of blood flow to the penis. The results of that test provide clinical evidence to some of my patients that their sexual desires are involuntary and difficult to control.”
I had never heard of that type of test before, so I said, “Please tell me more, Doc. That sounds interesting.”
Doc responded, “This can get technical, but the type I have is called a circumferential transducer. In simple terms, an electromechanical strain gauge is placed around the penis shaft to measure changes in circumference as the blood flow changes. In that way, the amount of arousal can be measured when I present differing visual stimuli, and we can see what excites the men sexually. The legal system uses the same devices to try to prove or disprove the urges of sexual predators. But it also works well in my practice.”
He paused for a minute to gather his thoughts and said, “I install the device on a patient’s penis and show them a variety of photographs. I usually start with women in various states of dress and nudity to get a base for comparison, and then move on to showing men’s cocks. I begin with photos of soft dicks like those that you might see in a typical shower scene and progress to different shapes, sizes, and colors of hard and semi-hard cocks. That way I can record the phallometry measurement under each photo, and provide the results to my patients.”
I think I understood everything Doc had explained, but I still couldn’t help thinking to myself that his patients are weak and perverted for desiring men’s cocks. So, I was feeling superior in the knowledge of my masculinity when I said, “No offense to you or your work, Doc, but I still don’t see how your patients could have those kinds of innate desires. I know that I would pass that test with flying colors.”
Doc smiled, and looked at me saying, “You might be right, Ed, but I’ve seen many alpha types like you show bisexual desires on the test. You won’t know until you try it though. Would you care to place a little wager on it?”
Still feeling cocky I said, “Sure, Doc, I’d hate to take your money, but I’m game if you are.”
Doc’s primary office is in the city, but he also has a study at home where he sees some of his patients from the suburbs. We made a one-hundred-dollar bet, and I was saying that none of the cock photos he showed me would cause arousal. He took the other side. We met in his home study on the following Saturday. We had a lot of fun during the week teasing one another about the bet.
