Ricardo was 27 and had spent a third of his life in custody, the first four years in juvenile detention and five of the last nine years behind bars. But he was lucky in one respect; he had only been in city and county jails, never in state prison, so far. This time he had been locked up for eighteen months. Felipe was nineteen, and this was the first time he had been incarcerated, and he was scared shitless. He had joined...

After teaching Spanish for fifteen years in Los Angeles schools I was burned out and took an early retirement. I wanted a complete change in my life and moved to a small farming community on the west coast of Mexico. I had long ago decided that anybody who I was going to have continual contact with would have to know I was gay. I didn’t intend to live a life of deception. This was me, take it or leave it. The house I boug...

I had my heart broken about ten years ago when I was eighteen. There’s nothing unusual about that, I know. At some time before, I had developed a crush on my best high-school buddy… and had made out with him. He, of course, liked it and we did it a lot for the next year and a half. Then his mother somehow found out about us, and he dumped me. I was crushed. Naturally, I made out with a lot of other guys during the followi...

  My liberal leanings had brought me to this place: one of the worst run prisons in my state. It was a minimum security prison. The smallest of the half- dozen state prisons, it was in a remote corner of the state. It seemed to have been forgotten by the state legislators and ignored by the general population. The warden wasn’t especially corrupt, but just didn’t give a fuck. As long as he got his salary he didn’t give a...

Briggs was relieved the wedding had gone off without a hitch. Cecil was his youngest son, and he had wisely waited until he was twenty-five and had a good steady income before marrying. And he had chosen well. Briggs was happy to have Gina for a daughter-in-law. But pulling off a big affair like this was always a challenge. He had married off his oldest son ten years ago, and then his daughter four years ago, and those we...

My name is Burt. I’m a big good-looking twenty-five year old guy. I know I shouldn’t have included good-looking in that description, But I’m not bragging. I didn’t have anything to do with it, so I can’t claim credit for it. It’s just the way it is. After all, people have said it to me hundreds of times over the years. I said big. I’m 6’2” and weigh 210, but I’m solid, no flab. I’ve been married a little over two years. M...

It was late Sunday afternoon and we had been waiting for this moment. My wife yelled, “Lew, my water broke.” I grabbed the bag and went out and started the car, like a fool leaving her to lock up the house. Going to the hospital it seemed we were hitting every red light. I got frustrated and when the cross traffic thinned out scooted through the lights. Any other time I’d have gotten a ticket. As usual, when you needed on...

Allow me to start out by telling you that this story is entirely true, it took place right after I turned sixteen. And for the boy’s name, I don’t know if it would be right to say, it’s an extremely uncommon name so that will remain anonymous . I had my first sexual experience with someone I never would have expected. It was with my best friend, who like me was a young male. He had come over for a sleepover, and we did th...
