Boys of the 1950s - 3. Chapter 3 Ear pulling and nose rubbing

Monday Peter was walking down the hall between second and third periods when he saw a group of jocks coming toward him. Students were congratulating them on their winning game on Saturday. Tom was at the head of the group reveling in the support. Peter didn’t think he was noticed but Tom reached up, pulled on his ear. He then stuck his finger in his ear and pulled on the lobe again. Peter rubbed his nose, then pulled out his hanky and pretended to do a major nose blow. Tom gave him a brief smile and moved on. Peter’s knees got weak and he almost dropped his books. He and Tom had had their first ear / nose sex in the halls of Pleasant Valley High School.

Tuesday Peter entered his third period study hall and went to the table in the far corner where, he, the quiet guy, usually sat alone. As he passed the jock table he noticed Tom was not there. At the same time the bell rang Tom ran in, walked to the full jock table, said something to the guys and walked over to Peter’s table in the corner. He sat across from Peter one seat over. Tom pulled out paper and started writing. He then pushed a note over to Peter. It read ‘Hi Friend, I told the guys at the jock table I had some serious studying to do and would not be able to do it at their table. They laughed because they knew it was true. I miss you. How have you been? When can we get together?’

Peter replied with a note. ‘My parents are going out this evening. You could come over and we could study more algebra. You have football practice and I have band practice after school. Come over after football practice. Then we can go to your house and get my bike. I will ride it home and you can come over with your books.’

Tom replied. ‘Sounds like a good plan. I’m going to ask for a hall pass to go to the bathroom. Why don’t you get one in a couple of minutes.’

Tom went to Miss McDonald, the study hall monitor, and asked for a bathroom pass. A couple of minutes later Peter did the same. When Peter entered the boy’s room he saw Tom at the last urinal. Tom stepped back exposing his hard dick that he was caressing. Peter went to a urinal near but not next to Tom as it would look strange if someone came in and saw two guys in the otherwise empty bathroom standing next to each other. Peter pulled out his now hard dick and they both stroked while watching the other. Just as they were about to explode they heard the door opening. They both moved close to the urinals covering their hard dicks. In walked Principal Headstrom and both their dicks shriveled. Peter wandered why he would come into the boy’s room and not use the faculty restroom. Either he was suspicious of smoking or other depraved activities, or he just had to take a piss and that was the nearest bathroom or he wanted to check out boys. Tom stuffed his hard cock in his pants, zipped up and left the room. Peter followed a minute later. On the way out Peter said, “Hi, Mr. Headstrom and glanced at his dick out of the corner of his eye while keeping his head straight on. He remembered Tom telling him that he had seen Mr. Headstrom’s dick at the town pool locker room and that it curved slightly to the left. Peter stopped at the second sink from the end of the urinals. He didn’t want to be too close and obvious. Again he looked at Headstrom’s dick out of the corner of his eye while giving his hands a long wash. He could not tell for sure but it seemed like the dick was hard or at least half hard or Principal Headstrom just had a really big dick when it was soft. Peter returned to the study hall. He and Tom actually studied the last twenty minutes remaining.

Two weeks later on a school night the boys were in Tom’s bedroom studying together. They had had a fast and very quiet jack off session as Tom’s parents were downstairs watching Dorothy Fuldheim, anchor on the WEWS Cleveland news. This session had a new twist. Peter was on his knees jerking himself with his face near Tom’s dick enthralled watching the skin move back and then over the cock head. Peter leaned forward, pushed Tom’s hand away and put his dick in his mouth. He moved his mouth up and down. Once he took it out of his mouth, played with the skin and then continued with his mouth. He pushed the skin completely off the head as he mouthed forward and uncovered it as he moved back. Tom started to pump faster and tried to push Peter’s face away. Peter put his arms around Tom’s ass and kept his mouth firmly on the dick as Tom exploded down his throat. Peter kept the dick in his mouth for a few moments while he finished by spraying the hard wood floor with his man juice.

“That was unbelievable.” Tom whispered. “I don’t know if I could put yours in my mouth and then swallow it. Maybe someday.”

Peter replied softly. “I really had not thought of taking you in my mouth. But as I watched your skin going up and down and saw a little liquid come out of your piss hole I just leaned forward without thinking. It just seemed like the natural thing to do. I tasted you before, the first day we did it. That time I just scooped it off your belly. This time it was magnificent to feel your pulsating cock and have the juice shoved down my throat. My first reaction was to spit it out. But I just wanted to keep you in my mouth until I finished so I swallowed. Not much of a flavor, just gooey and salty. I will definitely do it again. You can do me any time, but if you don’t that’s OK.”

Tom softly laughed as he said “If you don’t get a terrible disease or die from drinking my cum maybe I will. Like you it won’t be planned but just happen.”

After cleaning with Kleenex they opened their books at Tom’s desk and opened the door so the parents could see the serious, studious, good boys hard at work if one of them came upstairs.

TWO +TWO = FOUR

Both were sitting at Tom’s desk with their books open. Tom quietly told Peter that he wanted to discuss something strange and serious. “I heard guys on the team talking about Ann Reynolds the cheerleader. Joe, one of the guys on the team, said she was really hot and he would like to hold those big tits and hopefully find out if she would put out. He said he asked her to go to the movies and she said no because she had too much homework. He asked her if she had a boyfriend and she had replied that she was too busy for boys. You know Peter, she just does not seem to be into guys. I’ve seen her talking to Louise Schwartz after cheerleading and band practice. They seemed to be very much into each other. Do you know Louise, she is in the band?”

Peter replied that Louise played the trumpet in the band. Like him she was very quiet and usually kept to herself. He asked Tom why he was interested in these girls.

Tom said: “This is really far out, but if these girls are into each other as much as we are into each other maybe the four of us could date. Ann is a cheerleader and the type of girl people would assume a football player would date while Louise is quiet, the type of girl that would appear to be a match for you. If it is as it appears the four of us could go to high school events with you and I being together while they would be together but also having dates. What do you think?”

“It’s crazy” Peter replied. “But maybe it will work. How do we find out if the girls feel toward each other the same way we do?”

“You watch Louise and I will keep an eye on Ann. See if there is any evidence of a close friendship.”

For the next two weeks Peter watched Louise. He even talked to her at band practice a couple of times. He really had a hard time making conversation and her answers were short. She didn’t seem to have any interest in talking to him. A few times Ann came into the band room after her cheerleader practice. As soon as Ann arrived Louise seemed to be a different person. They talked and laughed. One Friday afternoon Peter stayed after band practice to help the director sort music. Louise was still in the room doing something to her trumpet. Ann came in and they had a short conversation then walked to the back of the room and slipped into the storage alcove off of the rear of the room. Peter told the band director that he had to get something and would be right back. He quietly snuck into the alcove and peered around the corner. Ann and Louise were holding each other, kissing and their bodies were gyrating against each other. Peter quietly backed away and returned to finish help sorting the music.

As soon as Peter got home he called Tom’s house. Mrs. Kowalski answered and told him Tom was not home from football practice. Peter asked her to tell Tom that he found some material that he might use for his English class essay and to call him when he got home. About 45 minutes later Tom called and said “Hey, what’s up friend?”

Peter told him that he had discovered something very interesting about Ann and Louise and that they should talk as soon as possible. Peter told Tom he could probably borrow his folk’s car and they could go out for a milk shake or something. Tom told him to come over in about half an hour as soon as he finished dinner. Peter asked his dad if he could borrow the car and take some English class stuff to Tom. He said that they would probably go out for a milkshake. His dad readily agreed. He was pleased that Tom seemed to be making friends and was doing more than just band.

Peter pulled into the driveway, walked to the door and rang the bell. Tom answered. Peter handed him a pile of papers (actually old homework assignments that Peter was going to throw away) and said here’s the material I thought you might use for your English essay (he winked at Tom). He suggested that Tom put it away and they could go over it later. Tom took the papers to his room and Peter stood in the front hall. Mr. and Mrs. Kowalski were watching TV. Peter said “Hello Mr. and Mrs. Kowalski, Tom and are going to Bearden’s for a milkshake. Then we’ll come back and work on our English essays.

When Tom returned a couple of minutes later the Kowalskis told the boys to have a good time and to be careful as a predicted snow storm might start early.

Peter pulled into a stall at Bearden’s and a car hop came to the window. When she noticed it was two guys she pushed her tits out and said “Hi boys, what can I get for you. Everything is available and I mean everything.” Peter told her he would have a super chocolate shake, his friend would have a super strawberry shake and they would have two large orders of fries. The car hop wrote down their order, turned around and wiggled her ass in the window before walking away.

Peter told Tom what he had seen in the alcove of the band room. They stopped talking when the car hop returned with their order. She stayed longer than necessary wanting to know if there was anything else she could get for her favorite customers of the evening.

The car hop gave up on the guys and Tom then explained his plan. “Tomorrow is our last football game of the season. After the game I am going to find Ann and tell her we want to talk to her and Louise. I will suggest Sunday afternoon. I know she will ask why and I will just say it is something really important and interesting. I will tell her that we will meet her and Louise at the snack bar at the bowling alley. I will explain that the bowling is the perfect place to have a private conversation. We can sit in a booth and it will be very noisy so no one will hear us. No one would notice anything unusual about a group of teenagers talking in the open. I will explain that if we went someplace dark and secluded anyone seeing us would speculate about what we were up to. If they need a ride I will offer to pick them up. One of us will need to borrow a car. I will do my best to get them to come.” The boys then discussed how they would direct the conversation with the girls.

The following Sunday afternoon Peter and Tom sat in the furthest booth in the snack area of the bowling alley. The girls, after much persuasion by Tom, had reluctantly agreed to come. Ann and Louise arrived. Tom got up and offered them seats together on one side of the booth. He asked what they wanted to drink and eat. They only wanted cokes so he went to the snack bar and ordered the cokes and a big bag of potato chips. He brought back the drink and food and sat down next to Peter.

It was decided by the two guys that Tom would be the spokesperson. He began “Ann and Louise we appreciate your coming. What we have to discuss with you is very personal and I want you to agree not to discuss what we say with anyone. This is a very personal issue between Peter and me. We would not want it broadcast around the school and as soon as I explain what’s going on I am sure you will agree. Peter and I have become good friends. While we appear very different on the outside, inside we have very deep feelings for each other. As the quarterback on a champion football many people assume I am a macho guy who attracts girls and have some really hot, attractive ones falling all over me. The problem is that while I might attract girls I have no interest in dating. Since meeting Peter about a month ago when I took the band bus home from the Shaker Heights game I have come to realize that I would rather spend time with him than any girl. I know Peter feels the same way about me.”

Peter nodded his head and said “Sure do. Never thought I would feel about a guy like I do Tom”

Tom continued “We have noticed the two of you spend a lot of time together. I have seen Louise come to cheerleader practice and only watch Ann. Peter has seen Ann come to be with Louise after band practice. Knowing how we feel about each other we saw the signs of a special friendship between you two. Now let me finish my speech and then you can ask all the questions you want or tell us to go to HELL and walk out. If you choose the later I hope you never discuss what I have told you with anyone. Anyway, we had our suspicion about the depth of your friendship. Last Friday you came to the band room Ann to see Louise. Peter was helping Mr. Preston sort music. He saw you talking and then slip into the storage alcove at the back of the band room. Peter took a break from helping Mr. Preston and quietly went to the corner of the storage area. He saw you doing exactly the same thing we do when we have a chance. You were kissing. Peter and I would kiss right now except that would set us up for ridicule so instead we are just sitting here holding hands. Peter is holding my hand in a very erotic way. He is doing things with his fingers to mine that really feels good.”

Peter just smiled and nodded say “Oh yea!”

“Let me continue more and then it is discussion time. Peter feels bad that he spied on you for a few seconds, and believe me it was only a very short moment. He had no interest in seeing what girls do. So, if the two of you feel about each other as Peter and I do we have a scheme. Let’s go out together.” While looking at Ann, Tom continues. “You and I are what everyone would consider the perfect match – the cheerleader and the quarterback. Louise and Peter are the perfect match – the really smart couple with top grades, both in the band and both considered quiet. Next Friday evening there is a sock hop at school. The four of us will go together. I will walk into the dance holding your hand and Peter will walk in holding Louise’s hand. We will do some dancing with you and since you are girls you can dance together as some girls do. No one will suspect your relationship as you will be with dates. Unfortunately Peter and I cannot dance together as guys, but don’t worry we make up for it in other ways in private. I have done a lot of dating because it is expected of me. I have never enjoyed a date. It seems the girls expect me to do things I have no interest in doing. Sometimes they get really pissed because I don’t make out the way they want. Some of them end up thinking I am a good Catholic boy that wants to grow up to be a saint. Actually I am a good Catholic boy that wants to grow up with another man. Can we try dating this one time? To the school the boys will be with the girls but in our hearts the boys will be with each other and the girls with each other.”

There was a period of silence and finally Ann said “Holy smoke, that is a lot to consider. Why don’t you guys go watch some of your friends bowl while Louise and I discuss this.”

Tom and Peter got up and decided to play some pinball machines. Neither really cared what score they got but realized they needed to put on a good show so played with a lot of animation, yelling and hooping as if their lives depended on it. It seemed like an eternity but was actually less than five minutes when Louise came over and said “OK you crazy guys, let’s talk.”

Ann assumed the role of spokesperson. She started “You guys are insane, what you are proposing is the most outlandish plan we have ever heard. You want us to pretend to be hot for you when you are really hot for each other. No one in their right mind would agree to what you suggest.”

Both Tom and Peter got a sick feeling. What if Ann and Louise gossiped about what they had told them about their feelings for each other. They had opened their hearts to these girls and now they are being called insane and out of their minds. Peter grabbed Tom’s hand and he could feel him shaking. To them the plan seemed logical. Peter just wanted to get up and run out of the place.

Ann continued. “Nevertheless Louise and I are also insane and probably out of our minds. And as you observed sneaky Peter, we are hot for each other. So let’s go to the sock hop and rock and roll. Come on boys, let’s get out of this dump.”

Ann and Louise got up and as the boys got out of their seats Ann took Tom’s hand, leaned up and kiss him briefly on the lips and put her head on his shoulder as they walked out. Louise took Peter’s hand and much to his relief she did not kiss him while they also walked out.

Within a couple of days everyone at school who cared about such things knew Ann the cheerleader and Tom the quarterback were an item. They had been spotted talking, kissing and walking out of the bowling alley holding hands. The same rumor mill took little notice of Louise and Peter although some band members noticed they talked every day after practice. Peter actually enjoyed talking to Louise. They shared many interests. Both appreciated classical music, both were straight A students except for gym. Both were avid readers and were surprised that each had read Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, the previous year’s (1955) most popular novel. Neither had read it as a Literature assignment but because they had read a review in the Sunday Cleveland Plain Dealer.

They also discussed Lolita which had also been published in 1955. They knew the story line was very erotic. Louise had seen a copy in Burrough’s Book Store in downtown Cleveland but did not have the nerve to buy it. Peter told her he would buy it next time he was downtown without his parents. The two of them agreed it would be interesting to discuss it and learn more about male and female sex roles. Each was privately thinking about their conversation about Lolita and realizing they were planning a sex discussion with someone of the opposite sex. To each of them this was amazing. A week earlier neither of them would have been comfortable even talking with someone of the opposite sex. Now they could do it without the pressure of potential sex partners when each knew that was not an issue.

They were both in the same physics class but had never spoken to each other. Each was aware that the other was getting a high grade. Since they were having an exam on Friday, the day of the sock hop, Louise suggested Peter come to her house to study for the test. Both of their parents were delighted that their child was dating. Neither Louise nor Peter had had a real date and the parents of both were concerned that neither had shown much interest in the opposite sex.

When Peter arrived at Louise’s home Thursday evening she suggested they study at the kitchen table. She told him that when Ann came over at least once a week to “study” they would go to Louise’s room, turn on the music loud and shut the door. Her parents thought the door was shut so the music would not bother them. They would have been shocked if they knew what quiet Louise was doing with Ann during their study sessions.

All their parents assumed that their dating started as a result of school activities: Ann and Tom through cheerleading and football – a perfect match and Louise and Peter through band and physics class. Hopefully the parents would never learn that as a result of sneaky Peter’s discovery two couples would be dating but a different match of the couples would be in love although none of them had uttered the L word yet.

Friday night Peter had no problem borrowing his father’s car. In fact his father almost threw the keys at him as soon as he learned Peter was finally having a date with a girl. Peter picked up Tom and then the girls with each guy going to the door to greet the girl. Peter had already met Louise’s parents the previous evening during the physics study session so he just said a brief “hello”. Tom had never met Ann’s parents although they knew him by his football reputation. Being the gregarious person he was Tom had no problem charming them.

The four of them entered the school cafeteria that had been decorated for the dance. Each couple holding hands. They found a four person table and sat, Tom with Ann on one side and Peter the other and Louise between Ann and Peter. They talked and Peter rubbed his leg against Tom’s with a slight up down humping motion. Tom looked at Peter, smiled and pulled his ear. Peter laughed. Ann wanted to know what was so funny. Tom replied that it was just boy stuff. Ann and Tom danced the jitterbug while Louise and Peter talked with heads snuggled next to each other. Peter had never danced and Louise had little interest in dancing with a boy. It was not unusual for girls to dance together so Ann and Louise did a few dances. Ann was the better dancer and Louise just followed. The disk jockey played a slow number. Peter noticed the couples were dancing mostly just standing together with little movement. He suggested to Louise that since this was one dance he could do they should try. They went to the dance floor and Peter put his arms around Louise as he noticed other boys doing. They moved their feet very slow. Peter then whispered into Louise’s “Don’t freak out but I am going to put on a good show.” He held her closer pressing his dick into her stomach as he was taller. He slowly gyrated his hips and ass. Actually it felt good and he knew that if he would do this with Tom he would have a raging hardon.

He felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Miss Lane, an English teacher and chaperone at the dance. Gently she said into his ear “Take it easy young man or I am going to have to throw a bucket of water on you to cool you down?”

Peter replied “Sorry, we will behave.” Many students had observed the confrontation. They moved apart and completed the dance with movements that Miss Lane would approve.

When they returned to the table Louise said to all of them. “No one will question our sexual preferences after that exchange with Miss Lane. Word will pass quickly around school and you and I will be the sex maniacs of the class. Makes me proud.”

Tom looked at Peter while pulling his ear. “No more suspicions about us. Thanks friend.”

The next dance was the bunny hop. Even Peter with limited dance ability could do this one. They all joined in as the bunny line wove through the cafeteria.

When “Goodnight, Irene” was played they realized the dance was ending and all got up for the final dance. This time Louise and Peter danced in an acceptable way.

The girls were going to have a two person PJ party at Louise’s home after the dance. After dropping them off Tom got in the front seat and suggested a place where they could “park” for a few minutes. They parked where Tom directed and he pulled Peter over for a deep, long kiss. He then reached for Peter’s fly. Peter objected saying. “Whoa man, I sure want to do it but is this safe?”

Tom replied that he had picked the location as it was easy to see if anyone was coming. Peter then opened Tom’s pants and they sat there with their exposed dicks. Each started to jack off while kissing. Peter told Tom to move down a little. He then leaned over and took Tom in his mouth. Peter swallowed his blast. He then finished himself off in a Kleenex.

Peter sat up and noticed a car approaching. It was a police car. The office got out and walked up to Peter’s window with a flash light. “Just what are you boys doing here on a dark street on this cold night.”

Peter replied “Officer, we just dropped off our dates and we are too riled up to go home.” The officer aimed his light in their laps noticing the bulges in their pants and a wet spot on Peter’s. Tom had no telltale wet spot as Peter had swallowed the evidence.

“Looks to me like you boys had hot dates. Do you have any beer, wine or other alcohol with you?”

“No sir.” stated Peter and Tom together.

“Well then just cool off and drive safe. Goodnight boys.”

After dropping Tom off at his home Peter was anxious to go home and go to bed. He was surprised when he went to his room and found his brother Ronnie in his bed. He woke Ronnie up and asked him why he was there.

Ronnie yawned and replied, “I really want to talk to you tonight, it’s really important. Remember that talk we had last spring when Aunt Mary visited. I had to sleep with you as mom gave her my bed.”

Peter thoroughly remembered that discussion. Ronnie and he had slept in Peter’s double bed. When Ronnie got up in the morning he had a woodie sticking out of his PJs. Peter had asked him if he knew what to do about it. Ronnie told him that sometimes when he woke up it was hard. He didn’t know why. Peter realized that his little brother would have to figure this out on his own, have one of his peers talk about it and Ronnie being confused or have his big brother explain the facts of life. Peter wished someone had explained this to him. He remembered learning to jack off by spying on his grandfather. All he knew was that it felt good and white stuff came out. After that he felt guilty, did not understand what was going on. He didn’t want his little brother to learn on his own and be totally confused or learn from locker room jokes so he decided to explain this life phase to him. He started by telling Ronnie that his “woodie” as it was called represented a step in his turning from a boy to a man. This happened to all boys but not all boys had someone to explain this change to them. He told Ronnie that what he was going to tell him was very private and that he must agree not to tell anyone about their discussion. Ronnie agreed. Peter decided that the only way to tell was to demonstrate. They were both laying on the bed on their backs. After getting up and wedging a chair against the bedroom door handle to securely lock it he got back in bed and laid next to Ronnie. Peter lowered his PJ pants and told Ronnie to do the same. Peter told his brother that what he was going to show him was something that all boys started doing at a certain age. He emphasized that it was a very private thing and that although everyone did it, it was not something that was discussed. He told him that was stupid, but that was the way it was.

Peter then put his fist around his semi-hard dick and told Ronnie to do the same. Peter stroked up and down, Ronnie followed. He asked his brother how it felt, Ronnie said “really good”. Peter got fully hard and removed his hand so it would stand straight up. Ronnie looked at it and said “Wow, that is big.”

Peter replied, “In a couple of years yours will be the same size. Let me see what you have now.”

Ronnie moved his hand away and his little dick stood up pointing toward his chest.

Peter continued, “Keep stroking, does it still feel good?”

“Feels great.” Ronnie replied.

Then Peter said, “Watch me, what happens will happen to you sometime in the future. When it happens you are a man!”

Within a few strokes Peter came with big squirts covering his belly and chest. He told Ronnie to keep on stroking until he got a really strange but good feeling. Ronnie did and soon he shuddered and then stopped. “That was the most amazing feeling I have ever had.” Ronnie said.

He asked Peter about the white stuff that squirted. Peter explained that it would happen to Ronnie and when it did he was a man. Peter told him that when that happens he would explain what was going on. He told Ronnie that what they had done was “jacking off” or “beating the meat” or “pounding the pud” as boys called it or “masturbate” the technical biological term. Peter reiterated to his little brother that what they had done was very normal and that all boys began doing it around the age of Ronnie. But also that it was very private and that he should not tell others about it. He told him that he heard sometimes boys did it together although he had never done it with another boy. Ronnie asked him how he learned about it. Peter did not want to tell him about spying on grandfather so just said that he had discovered it on his own and then found a book in the library that explained it.

Peter told him that most boys do it almost every day, some twice a day, some only once a week and some never. He also explained that many boys thought that what they were doing was bad. Peter explained it was not bad but an important of boys growing up and turning into men. He then reminded Ronnie to do it in private. He told him that sometimes he did it in the shower at home.

Finally he had told Ronnie that when he squirted like he had to let him know and his big brother would tell him the facts that a man needs to know.

Peter had arrived home from his date with Louise (and Tom) exhausted and found Ronnie in his bed. He asked Ronnie what was so important.

Ronnie yawned again and explained, “Remember when you explained jacking off to me. You said that someday I would squirt like you did. Well I squirted today. Not as much as you did but I squirted and it really felt good. You told me that when that happened we would have a discussion about turning into a man. Can we talk now?”

Peter replied, “I will explain everything that you want to know, but not tonight. I am too tired. Also I do not want mom and dad to hear us and want to know why you were in my bed. This will be a long conversation and I want to give you time for questions. Tomorrow I am going to the main library in downtown Cleveland to do some research for school and tomorrow evening Louise and I are going to the basketball game. Sunday afternoon let’s take a bike ride. We can go someplace private and have the discussion, man to man. We’ll go right after church and Sunday dinner. Now go back to bed.
