Things have changed … but they remain the same

This is more a reality check than a story, since it will deal more with attitudes and understandings than “I sucked him until his head caved in!” I will get to all that later. First, I am a published author, retired government type, and retired military type, and have literally gone around the world … I have sucked cocks in thirty seven countries! I am in my late sixties and grew up in a world of nuclear threat, segregation, and bigotry. But what was worse than all that was the fact that a gay male or female had to hide their sexual preferences from most, and in some states, could be imprisoned for lewd and lascivious acts or sodomy . When I was a kid, I heard more than once that this man or that man was peculiar or queer, or that I should stay away from him. Didn't hear much about lesbians, except that she preferred another woman’s company. I should have arrived into adulthood sexually traumatized, but I didn't. Matter of fact, I have been pretty well stable in the fact that I was and am bisexual. I had a penis in my mouth when I was sixteen, licked a pussy not long afterward, and have spent the rest of my life bouncing from one side of the fence to the other, never quite sure where I belonged, but always certain I was in the right place when I was snuggling close to a lover, whether male or female. I was in the military long before there was a don’t ask, don’t tell policy, and long before there was tolerance. If you were caught in flagrante delicto … in the very act … you ...

... were locked up in the brig (and normally you took a few bruises with you!), and you were mustered out on a Section 8 discharge in short order.

My first duty station on active duty in the Navy was the USS Intrepid. It was a WWII aircraft carrier, a straight deck carrier originally, with an angle deck added later. Adding the angle deck also added about two hundred feet of voids — compartments that could be accessed from the hanger deck, but due to the fact that they all angled upward, they were virtually unusable. A dedicated sailor could work his way into one of them and move to a void that offered privacy. My suck buddy and I had several places we would meet … in the voids beneath the angle deck, on a cat walk where nose cones were stored, just forward of ordnance control, in the pit beneath the number 1 bomb elevator, and in a fuze and booster magazine that was never used because it didn't have a sprinkler system. In a crew of approx five thousand, there were about a hundred or so gays, bi-sexuals, and guys who just wanted to get their dick sucked or fuck another guy. In the division to which I was attached, there were ten (give or take) of us who were all married, but enjoyed an occasional blow job or giving a blow job, and a couple would take a dick in their ass. Two or more of us would meet for a little sex, and there ...
