Q.

Well, I was alone in the house, so I decided to do a sweep. I didn’t know what I’d find, exactly, but I knew what I was looking for. I was horny and wanted to jerk off.

…

Well, my mother and my grandmother both kept erotic content around the house, so I figured I’d find something. Grandma had magazine spreads of a famous pitcher from the Baltimore Orioles wearing a jock strap posted on the inside of cabinet doors around the house, and I found a Playgirl in the back of our van once. There were also some trashy porno mags I came across in her closet a few months before, so I went digging around in there.

…

That never really crossed my mind. I guess I didn’t care.

…

Well, I rumaged through everything and found a rectangular tin, opened it up, bingo. Condoms, lube, a small pamphlet of gay porn, and an unmarked VHS tape. It felt weird touching the stuff, but like I said, I was horny.

Q.

Of course I did. I guess I figured they wouldn’t be home anytime soon, so I put it on in the living room. It was a bootleg. She used to do that--get movies from Blockbuster, HBO, whatever, then dub the tapes with our Dual Deck VCR. We had boxes and boxes of them. What a terrible waste of space.

…

Huh? Oh, yeah. There was some initial distortion, but then a scene came into focus. It was a bunch of guys wearing military uniforms in some barracks. They were talking and lounging about. One guy had on an olive green cadet cap. Someone pushed him up against a bed, unzipped the private’s jumpsuit and starts sucking his dick. I never saw anything like that before. I fast-forwarded a little bit and they were fucking each other over the bed rails, blowjobs, all that.

Q.

A little, yeah, I guess. I gave it a shot, anyways. But mostly I was just feeling disappointed that all my mom had lying around was gay porn.

…

Yeah, that’s how I found it. She was going down on him, wearing this nighty thing. My dad seemed into it.

…

No, there was more. Another of him sitting in the family room computer chair, stretching out his cock and looking up at the camera. That still weirds me out thinking about it. Him stretching it like that.

…

I think so, yeah.
