I awoke this morning to the sound of birds, and sunlight streaming through my windows. The first thought to enter my head was “what do I have to do today?” My mind was blank … could it be true? I had nothing to do today? It’s Tuesday, so I don’t work today, the kids all slept over at friends houses …

It won’t be long now before my wife, Annmarie, and I will gather with friends and neighbors to welcome in 1997. I’m sure we’ll have a good time, but there’s no way this New Year Eve’s will be better than last. I mean, what could possibly be better than watching your honey get down and dirty with another guy?

Her husband’s e-mail arrived in mid-afternoon that Monday, full of the usual. Some help with an unfamiliar UNIX command and chatter about work, dinner and the odds that he’d get soaked by a passing shower on his way home.

Natalie Bradshaw was a juvenile delinquent. At least, that’s what her mother called her all the time. She didn’t mean to get into trouble; it just seemed to happen to her. Maybe it was the friends she hung out with, like her Mom kept saying. But she liked Livia and Brad, and she wasn’t going to stop seeing them just …

I never thought of myself as an exhibitionist. What I mean is that I don’t go and look for opportunities, although I have enjoyed girls sitting next to me on the bus when the vibrations make me get hard. I am sure a lot of you know the feeling, wearing sweats and boxer shorts can be a deadly combination. And …

Barbara is tall, about 5′ 7″, slender and light-boned, so that her 127 pounds are not skinny. She wears her deep brown hair short and curly, and dresses for business in tailored pantsuits, with just a touch of color in her accessories. Although she appears to be in her early thirties, she will celebrate her forty-second birthday this coming November.…

It was Christmas Eve and I was working over the break from college at a Gap in the mall. Earlier that morning, my co-workers and I had had a little X-mas party. Nothing special, eggnog, nuts, and poundcake. After most of the crew had left, it was just me Drew, the new guy, and Chrissy, the Manager Trainee. I was …

The following story is more-or-less true. It takes place at a Long Island-based university whose main campus is on a main road named after a compass reference and whose admission policies are generally concerned with confirming your pulse and checkbook balance. Not that the place does not provide a good education, it simply isn’t known as inexpensive or picky. The …
