During her summer break at Loyola University, Barb would spend at least four days a week at my apartment on the north side of Chicago. One of our favorite hobbies was to walk five blocks to Independence Park in search of 'fresh meat' and to lay in the sun. Once of our quirks was that we preferred to walk down alleys rather than noisy Irving Park Road.
One day in mid-June, we decided to throw our beach towels, suntan lotion, and ice-cold beer into my backpack to go 'cruising'. During the short walk, we heard rock music coming from a two-car garage and as we passed it the overhead doors were open. We noticed there were three males and a woman working out. Once we were about fifty feet away, we heard someone whistle but when we turned around there was nobody in sight.
We only lasted one hour at the park due to the heat and the lack of 'prey' so we decided to walk home. As we retraced our route, we approached the garage again but all four were sitting on lawn chairs sipping a beer while two large shop fans were directed at them. When they saw us, one of the men asked, "Quieres una chela?" (Do you want a beer?). Barb looked at him and said, "Gracias, nos encantaría una cerveza! (Thank you, we'd love a beer!)
The guy handed us each a beer, then said in English to Barb, "Your Spanish is pretty good. Are you more comfortable with English?"
Barb laughed then said, "Either is fine with me but English is easier." which caused all of to laugh.
He then introduced himself as Raul the others: Hector, Eddie, and Maria. All four were attractive and buff.
Barb then introduced both of us and we started to chat. Maria looked at Barb then asked, "It's really hot today so what were you two doing?"
Barb replied, "We go to the park about once a week looking for someone to bring home for sex, either a female or male."
All four of them were silent for at least thirty seconds before Maria asked, "Are you selling yourself?"
Barb laughed then said, "No, we're swingers that have sex with others but we're also careful so we both get tested every two months to protect ourselves from sexual diseases."
Eddie then asked, "So you went to the park because you were both horny?"
Barb looked at me then said, "Yes, very horny today!" which made everyone laugh hard.
