Face down, ass up

Sex

The first time I tried anonymous sex was back around 2006. Then, “Manhunt” was the place to score on the internet. Unfortunately, Grindr and other GPS-based phone apps had not yet hit the market.

I had only been out since 1998. I’d never been to a sex party or a bathhouse — nothing of the sort. I was too shy to have sex that way but was perfectly fine having it with someone I had just met at the bar thirty minutes earlier.

You can learn a lot about a person in thirty minutes.

So one night, I responded to my first face-down, ass-up post. It read something like this:

“I will be dressed in full leather gear. The door will be open, and I will be face down, ass up. Come in, lock the door behind you, and start fucking me.”

I like to try new things, and I wanted to overcome my fear of anonymous sex. So I answered the call.

But when I stepped inside, I didn’t like what I saw. Most of what I saw was his backside, but I walked around him to get a glimpse of the whole package and his face.
