Life Goes On - 23. Meet the Sweet Polish Guy  

Jacob Yoder and Rob Johnson were thrilled when Vlad had written asking if two of his friends could stay with them while visiting Washington. Both of these men were indebted to Vlad and Reg for their liberating them from lives in rural areas that were not conducive to man love.

Jacob’s story – (Russia My Home – 1950 - Chapters 30 – 31) Years earlier while driving through Pennsylvania on the way to visit an Army acquaintance of Vlad’s, Reg had suggested they take back roads in scenic Lancaster County, home to a large Amish population. As they drove down a picturesque rural dirt road car troubles resulted in their asking to use the phone at a nearby farmhouse to call a garage for repair assistance. Since the Amish home had neither electricity nor a telephone, the friendly farmer offered to take them to town by buggy the next day. Vlad offered to help the son, Jacob, work in the field repairing fences. They sweat together, pissed together and cooled off together in a secluded swimming place. There was no shyness between the men who enjoyed each other’s company and bodies. Jacob asked Reg and Vlad to help him move away from the stifling conservative community. He eventually moved to Washington, lived with Reg and Vlad, and completed high school and university with Reg’s assistance. His love of farming led him to a position with the US Department of Agriculture where he does research related to corn and grain crops.

Rob’s story (Russia My Home –- 1959 - Chapters 43 – 44) Nine years later Vlad was now living in Cleveland. He and Reg planned another road trip. Reg visited Ohio frequently from his home in Washington. Their itinerary included visiting interesting places in the Midwest as well as Yellowstone National Park. On the morning of their fourth day on the road about an hour after departing Nashville they were still discussing the performance of the thirteen year old girl from eastern Tennessee. Dolly Parton’s first Grand Ole Opry performance had received three encores. After stopping for gas along the road to Kansas City they offered a ride to a hitchhiker. Rob had left his home town Frog Creek, Tennessee and was on his way to San Francisco where he hoped to find a more exciting and accepting life. He had just graduated from high school and his parents discouraged his attending university since he had an opportunity to work with his father as a plumber. Rob wanted more than life in Frog Creek offered with the expectation of marriage. Having saved the fifty cent pieces (1955 fifty cents equals almost $5.00 adjusted for inflation 1955 – 2018) and sometimes dollars he had been given by his lecherous pastor / high school principal he started his journey to San Francisco where he assumed from his reading of Time magazine and out of town newspapers at the library he would find a welcoming culture. (The preacher and also middle/high school principal had singled out the quiet fourteen year old Rob for encounters. He started giving Rob blow jobs while jerking himself off when teenage Rob volunteered to clean the church. He gave Rob fifty cents after each encounter. When Rob turned sixteen the pastor / school principal paid to be fucked by Rob.) Rob accepted the ride offered by Reg and Vlad assuming he would travel with them as far west as their adventure took them. By their third night of traveling together Rob came out to his traveling companions and accepted their offer to continue with them. Upon return to Ohio he moved in with Vlad and began university studies. When he Visited Reg in Washington he met Jacob. Immediately they both had the same feeling –‘this is my life long soul mate’. At the end of the semester Rob left Ohio and moved in with Jacob and Reg. He completed his university studies in Washington and obtained his dream job, working with books. His escape from the stifling life in Frog Creek had been in the local library, now he was a bookstore manager.

……………………………………

With an early morning start Henry and Aiden arrived at the home of Reg (who was in New York City with a friend) and his young protégés late that afternoon. They were greeted at the door by a handsome man, who introduced himself as Jacob. He could barely introduce himself as two boisterous young boys who were introduced as Jacob Junior age five and Maciek age two bounded into the entry hall. Junior held out his little hand so he could shake hands with the two guests. Maciek imitated him. Henry and Aiden shook their hands and introduced themselves to the little tykes. Then a very pregnant young women appeared wiping her hands on her apron. She introduced herself as Rebecca.

Jacob laughed as he looked at the bewildered expressions on the faces of the guests. He explained, “Our family life is a little complicated. Rebecca is my niece. Her husband, Andrzej, will arrive here after work in about an hour. They live two blocks from here. When Rebecca heard friends of Reg were visiting she insisted on preparing a welcoming dinner. My better half, Rob, will also be home in about an hour. Meanwhile, why don’t you two settle in? We will show you your bedroom and after you freshen up we’ll share a beer and root beer for the little ones.”

…………………………………………..

During their visit Henry and Aiden learned the stories of Rebecca, Andrzej and their sons as follows:

Rebecca’s story: When Jacob left his Amish family in 1950 he knew he could never return since Amish customs required him to be shunned. However, through a mutual friend who was Mennonite, not Amish he contacted his sister, Susan, by letter. Most Saturdays she visited the nearby town of Lancaster to shop and drop off the bake goods she, her mother and sisters baked to sell to tourist. She would stop at the hardware store where her brother’s friend worked and pick-up and drop-off letters from and to her brother. She secretly shared these letters with her mother who was relieved that her son was living a good life. A year after Jacob left home Susan married and as a good Amish women became the mother of many children: four sons and three daughters. When daughter, Rebecca, reached the age of twenty she was expected to enter courtship with an eligible male. Since most Amish women married in their early twenties anyone unmarried by the age of twenty-five was considered an ‘old maid’. To the delight of Rebecca’s mother and envy of the other eligible girls Jeremiah Weaver took an interest in her. Being from a good family, likely to inherit his grandparents’ farm and being strong and handsome with an enchanting smile he appeared to be the perfect spouse. Since he lived on the other side of the county and usually attended Sunday meetings with a different group Rebecca did not know him well. He began attending the same Sunday meetings as Rebecca’s family. About a month after he began attending the meetings he asked her to go for a buggy ride after Sunday service and communal dinner. These buggy rides were the first step of serious courtship. At her mother’s urging Rebecca accepted. As they rode along the dirt roads he boasted about himself. After the second Sunday Rebecca realized his first love was himself and his next love his horse. He showed little interest in her life and only talked about his accomplishments. On the third Sunday as they rode down a picturesque country lane he pulled into a narrow path that led to a secluded area. He suggested they sit under a tree and talk. He helped her out of the buggy. He then spread a blanket on the ground. They sat and he spoke about their life together although Rebecca had little interest in this self-important man. She was trying to think of something to say that would move the conversation away from marriage as he leaned in and kissed her on the lips. She was surprised and backed away. He said, “Rebecca, if we are to marry we must get to know each other better. He then forced her on her back and placed a hand on her leg. He moved his hand up under her dress and was touching her very private place. When she protested he held her tighter and had his hand inside her undergarment. When she started to cry he just said, “If you are to be my wife you must submit to me.” She wanted to scream that she never wanted to be his wife but was unable to utter a word. Suddenly she realized he had lowered his pants. He then kneeled over her with his knees tightly against her sides. Moving his hand up and down his manhood he said, “You are lucky. When I go to the swimming hole with the other men on hot evenings to cool off and bathe my friends comment on my big piece. It will give you more pleasure than anyone else can.” She had never seen a man’s piece before soft or hard. She had taken care of her little brothers and other young boys but had never seen what a man had. Being a farm girl she had witnessed couplings of horses, cows and bulls, sheep and other animals so she was aware of the sex process. Suddenly her long dress had been pushed up. He ripped off her underpants and touched her where no one had ever touched before. He forced a finger into her. He then spit on his hard piece and placed the head against her virgin opening. When she cried out he said, “This might hurt the first time, but after a few times you will enjoy it and want it.” He rammed in and she cried out. As he pushed in and pulled out again and again she felt weak from the pain. Suddenly he cried out as he pushed in harder. He stopped, pulled out and cleaned his piece on her ripped underwear. He then told her to get in the buggy. He drove her home and dropped her off at the road end of the lane to her house. Then with a smile he said, “Next week you will enjoy it more and soon you will beg for it.” She hurried home, did her chores and went to bed. She realized blood had seeped onto the front of her dress and she changed into a similar dress after putting on new underwear tucking in some of the material used monthly to soak up any blood. She cried herself to sleep. By morning the pain from the attack had gone away but not the pain in her head. The following Sunday she refused to go for a buggy ride, much to the dismay of her mother.

About a month later she began having the symptoms of someone who was carrying a child. Her sickness in the morning and not having the monthly cycle made her realize she was with child. In her small community she was aware that sometimes a child was born soon after a marriage. If it was known that she was pregnant she would be forced to take her attacker as her husband. While she had never met her uncle who lived in Washington her mother had shared his letters with her. The following Saturday she mailed a letter to Uncle Jacob asking for his help. She told him she could not stay as she would be forced to wed this man she hated.

The following Thursday Mrs. Shoemaker, wife of the Englishman (what the Amish call anyone not Amish) who owned the hardware store drove her automobile up their lane. She asked to talk to Rebecca. After a short conversation she told Susan, Rebecca’s mother, her mother had fallen and needed someone to stay with her for a few days. Susan told her daughter she should help their friend and told her to pack some clothes for a short visit. Carrying a small suitcase Rebecca got into Mrs. Shoemaker’s auto and they drove off down the lane and turned into the main road. Five minutes later they stopped at a gas station where Jacob was waiting. Rebecca met her uncle for the first time. He wrapped his arms around her and she cried as she felt his love. He handed a letter that he had written explaining Rebecca’s situation that Mrs. Shoemaker would give to Rebecca’s mother the following Saturday.

Within thirty minutes Rebecca had traveled farther from home than ever. Her conversation with her uncle was easy. He set her mind at ease as he told her he had contacted the minister and some of the ladies at Apple Hill Methodist Church concerning her situation. They had made recommendations and he had made an appointment for her to see a doctor.

Seven months later with Jacob and Rob in the hospital father’s waiting room Jacob Junior introduced himself to the world. Rebecca was surprised at all the attention she had received from her new circle of friends. Uncle Rob and Uncle Jacob provided Rebecca and Jacob Junior with a happy home where on the third floor she had a bedroom to herself, the first time in her life she had not slept in a room full of sisters. Reg and Uncle Jacob insisted that Rebecca attend evening classes so she could receive a high school diploma. Her education at the Amish school house had ended with the eighth grade. In the American History class she met an interesting man from Poland.

Andrzej Borowski’s Story: When Andrzej’s father returned home after fighting with the Polish resistance during World War II he and his wife had a private celebration that resulted in his birth nine months later. He later graduated from the Polytechnic University in Wroclaw (known today as Wroclaw University of Science and Technology) with a PhD in engineering. Upon graduation he was immediately drafted into the Polish Army and because of his expertise and high academic achievements was assigned to a special technical unit. From the end of the World War II to the fall of the wall in Berlin while the country was under Soviet control all Poles were required to study Russian language in school. Andrzej was fluent in the language. Truthful information about the west (Western Europe and USA) was nonexistent in Soviet controlled Poland. However, since western technology was important to the Soviet Union, Andrzej, as part of this military assignment learned about advances in technology and other facts about the USA. He increasingly became disillusioned with the communist mentality and plotted his escape to the USA. He realized that if he escaped his parents would be severely punished possibly sent to prison. Using to his advantage the chaotic system of Polish and Soviet military record keeping he broke into a military office and issued orders for his transfer to a nonexistent Soviet Army organization. He also issued orders for his attendance at an international meeting. He informed his parents of his plans and they had a tearful goodbye. When he attended the conference in Sweden he walked away. The Polish military did not miss him as he had been attached to a Soviet unit and the Soviets did not miss him as the unit he was attached to did not exist. While in the Polish army he had access to American material including language books and had self-taught himself basic English. After walking into the American embassy in Stockholm he was interrogated then sent to an USA army base in Germany where he was again interrogated. He was assigned to an office first in Germany and then sent to the USA to translate low level Soviet technical information. He had no access to classified material and was watched closely as it would not have been unusual for the Soviets to plant him there as a spy. His English skills rapidly improved and he was soon fluent. After over a year in Washington his security level was raised and he soon became valuable in the ‘Cold War’ battle against the Soviet Union.

Andrzej’s quest for knowledge led him to the same American History night school class that Rebecca attended. He immediately noticed the quiet young woman and his body from his heart to his dick responded in a way it had never done before with the many girls he had dated and fucked in Poland and here in Washington. When students introduced themselves he noted she had an accent that sounded German but different from the accent of other Germans he had met speaking English. After class he introduced himself and stated that he knew many Germans but had never heard an accent similar to her’s. Her smile and laugh sent tingles through Andrzej’s body as she told him she was Amish and that at her home on a farm in Pennsylvania they spoke ‘Amish’ among themselves and English to outsiders. She further explained that the Amish and their language originated in German speaking areas of Europe. As they walked to the parking lot she told Andrzej her Uncle was meeting her. She introduced him to Uncle Jacob and the two drove off.

Andrzej was totally smitten with this girl. He went to the library and researched the Amish culture. He was shocked to discover that in America today people lived without automobiles, electricity, telephones or any other modern conveniences and traveled by horse drawn buggies. They were renowned for their farming skills although only horses, not tractors, were used. Their strict upbringing required no signs of frivolity such as fancy clothes or curtains in windows. This way of living was not because they were poor but resulted from strict conservative religious beliefs with those not following the dictates of the Church being required to leave the community. Rebecca and her uncle must have refused to follow the rules and had escaped just as he had escaped from communism.

The following week he sat next to Rebecca. After class they talked for about fifteen minutes and then met Jacob in the parking lot. Andrzej offered to take Rebecca home the following week. He handed Jacob one of his business cards to give assurance that he was who he said he was. Jacob asked his friend / roommate / mentor / sometimes lover, Reg, who had worked at the State Department and had many friends there to check out Andrzej. After Reg’s report, Jacob’s told Rebecca it was OK to accept a ride home the following week. Jacob spied on the young couple from the house as they sat in Andrzej’s car talking for about an hour. She told him about her life on the farm and he told of his growing up in Soviet controlled Poland. She had a good feeling about this man from faraway and realized she must be honest with him. She told him about Jacob Junior and her first and only encounter with a man who had forced himself on her. She explained how her mother had encouraged her courtship with a man who appeared to be an excellent choice for a future husband. However, even before he forced himself on her she had realized this was not the man she wanted to live with the rest of her life. While she did not go into the details of the brutal rape she told about leaving home when she became aware she was with child and had contacted her mother’s brother, Uncle Jacob, who had left the Amish community years earlier.

Andrzej took her hand, “I am so sorry you had that experience. You were a brave and loving person to leave home so you could have the freedom to raise the child as you felt best and not attach yourself to a monster. There are similar stories about women where I come from. The girls have no choice except marriage, sometimes with a brute, or to give the child away or to have the baby taken out of their body. I know girls who have died as a result of this operation.” While caressing her hand he continued, “You did the best thing possible, by having the child, not marrying the man you did not love and finding a way to raise him. Your Uncle Jacob is a wonderful man to have encouraged you and given you and Junior a home.” Rebecca felt a sense of contentment she had never experienced. He continued, “I would like to meet Junior.”

Rebecca surprised herself when she spontaneously replied, “If you are not busy visit us on Saturday and we can take him to the playground in the park.” They set a time and as she got out of the car he took her hand and kissed it. She felt a rush through her body as she went up the walk to the front door. She found Uncle Jacob in the kitchen nonchalantly eating a piece of elderberry pie. She cut herself a piece, not because she was hungry but because she wanted an excuse to sit and talk. For the next hour she babbled on about this wonderful man.

Within a month Andrzej was spending all weekends and many evenings with Rebecca and Junior. When Andrzej discovered there was a small sauna on the second floor next to the master bedroom he asked Jacob and Rob if he could join them sometime.

The first time the three used it together Jacob and Rob who always used it naked entered with towels wrapped around their waists. Andrzej, who had undressed in the guest bedroom, entered carrying his towel making no attempt to hide his manhood. He placed the towel on the hot bench and sat with his slightly smaller than average uncut dick exposed. Rob and Jacob removed their towels. Andrzej appeared to have no interest in Jacob’s handsome above average size impressive uncut dick or Rob’s small cute cut one. The conversation was easy as the three chatted in the small sauna, bodies touching each other with Jacob in the middle. Their conversation centered on their growing up: on an Amish farm, in eastern Tennessee and in Poland.

The third time they shared the sauna the conversation turned to the life styles of Rob and Jacob. Andrzej stated, “While I knew men in Poland who were more interested in relationships with other men than women I never understood the concept. We were told such relationships were not natural and should be condemned. But now that I have met you two I see that such a relationship can be very natural. Rebecca told me you sleep in the same bed as Reg when he is in town. She told me the thought of two men sharing a bed when it was not necessary seemed strange. On Amish farms brothers often shared beds as did sisters. This was done because there were not enough beds for all in the large families. But as she got to know you all better she accepted your way of life. She now realizes you two love each other as much as a man and woman can love each other. I have had men approach me. When at the university in Wroclaw I frequently went to the city sports hall with its three large swimming pools and also a public bath open only to men most days of the week. This place had three small pools that held five to ten men each, a steam room, a sauna, and a relaxing room. While most men used the inexpensive lockers for changing a small private room with a cot for resting could be rented. Once when I entered the steam room two men who had been sitting close moved apart. They tried to hide their hard dicks. I assumed they had been touching each other. A few times men sat next to me and gently placed their knee against mine. I eventually realized what these men wanted and I just moved away and ignored them. Men would sit on the opposite side of the haze filled room staring at me while touching their dicks. I just ignored them. A few times when I needed a break from classes I rented one of the small rooms to rest in between visits to the steam room, small pools and sauna. One time I noticed the man who had rented the room next to mine was sitting on the top row of the steam room opposite me. His legs were spread and he gently scratched his balls. I then realized the man sitting about a meter (three feet) from me was mimicking him as they eyed each other. The first man who was half hard got up, smiled at the man next to me and left the room. The second man, holding a towel over his hard dick, soon left. Five minutes later I went to my small room and as suspected could see the outlines of the two men in the room next to me. The walls of the rooms facing the hall were wire mesh so one could see inside if a close look was taken. If a light was not on in the room you could only see shadows. I went into my room and listened at the wall. I then discovered the wall paneling between the two rooms had a few small spaces where the seams of the wood met. I spied on the two as one stood and the other kneeled with the other’s dick in his mouth. To tell you the truth this got me excited and I took hold of my own dick. I finished myself at the same time the kneeling man appeared to be swallowing the juice of the other. Actually I was glad I saw it because a week later I told the girl I was dating what I had seen. She got on her knees and did the same to me. Although I dated many girls while at the university and in the army, I never met a girl that made me feel like I do about Rebecca.” (See end note, the sports complex described exists today. While the place is considered straight, the action described occasionally takes place – as I saw on my last visit two years ago.)

After more light conversation Andrzej laughed as he said, “While I accept the two of you being in a relationship, I do not fully understand it. As a scientist I should research concepts that I do not understand. In this situation I will skip the research and accept you two as good friends who love each other.” As he said this while sitting between the two he put a hand on each knee and squeezed it.

Rob spoke, “You keep rubbing our knees and you will see two hard dicks and find out how two men in love relate to each other.”

Andrzej laughed again as he got up while saying, “Good night friends, have an enjoyable sleep.”

A few evenings later just Jacob and Andrzej were together in the sauna. Jacob had practiced a message and he began, “You and Rebecca have been seeing each other for almost three months. I have been watching your interaction and assume you have not been intimate.”

Andrzej, “That is true. Although I am sure you realize it is constantly on my mind. As her father substitute you look at her in a way different than me. That is normal. I love her, but she is so pure I am totally confused concerning intimate relations. With other girls it was easy. But I never loved any of those girls as I do Rebecca. Actually I am considering asking her to marry me. But since we have known each other for such a short period of time maybe it is too soon.”

Jacob continued, “I would be thrilled to have you be part of our family. I also share your concern about the length of time you have known each other. I can see that you love Junior and he idolizes you. But before you go any farther in your relationship there is something you should know. Rebecca is ashamed to tell you the full story about Junior’s father. He was two years older than her and her mother considered him an excellent husband prospect. But he had a dark side. The third time he took Rebecca buggy riding, the way Amish courted, he drove her to a secluded spot and brutally raped her. He must have caused great pain as I learned later from my friend who knows many Amish that among his men friends he was called ‘horse’ because as the men discovered when they swam together on hot summer evenings he had the biggest dick of all, like that of a horse. He attacked Rebecca, drove her home and his last words when he dropped her off were ‘Next week you will enjoy it more and soon you will beg for it’. Rebecca never told anyone about the rape as she would have been spoiled in the eyes of the others and forced to marry the brute. She refused to accept buggy rides with him in the future. When she discovered she was pregnant she contacted me and left her family. Her mother and I have secretly exchanged letters since I left twenty years ago. She now knows what happened and has thanked me for caring for her daughter. When you do become intimate with Rebecca you must be especially considerate as I know you would be. Give her time. But should the opportunity arise, in the drawer of the nightstand of the room where you change your clothes when using the sauna there is a supply of rubbers and lotions. I assume you know what they are for.” With a laugh he continued. “If needed, I would gladly show you how to use them.”

Andrzej got very quiet, “Oh, poor Rebecca. I will be as tender as a man can be. I do not know when it will happen but I am thankful for both the information and support.” He then looked down at his dick, “Well, at least no one will ever call me ‘horse’.”

The next day Jacob had a serious discussion with Rebecca. He told her that he thought Andrzej would be a wonderful husband and father. With a smile she totally agreed. They discussed the short period they had known each other. Jacob told her that Andrzej had approached him for advice and that he supported the marriage. Jacob then dropped the bomb. I know you have only been with a man once and that he was brutal and attacked you causing you great pain both physical and in your head. Andrzej is not a brute. He is a tender loving man. I hope you can submit to him without fear. Let him love you without anxiety. If you were to become intimate before marriage I would not condemn you. Andrzej knows how to love you without getting you pregnant so do not have that fear. Do what your heart tells you to do.”

A week later Jacob was happy when he saw Andrzej’s car still in the driveway in the morning. Usually he stayed until around midnight and then returned to his rented room. When Jacob entered the kitchen Rebecca was preparing breakfast. With a smile on her face she wrapped her arms around him, “Oh, Uncle Jacob, it is such a beautiful morning.” Then to his surprise she kissed him on his cheek. Andrzej entered, dressed for work. Rebecca bounded into his arms kissing him on the lips. When she went upstairs to check on Junior Andrzej with a grin said, “The Little Polish kielbasa (sausage) did what a giant Amish horse could not do. I will stop at the pharmacy after work. I do not think there are enough supplies in the bedside table to keep your niece happy,”

Jacob replied, “Thank you. I have been worried about her ability to relate to a man after her first experience. By the way, I have inspected many men, your kielbasa as you call it, based on my observations, is a perfect size.”

The following Saturday morning Jacob announced, “I think it would be great day for Rob and me to take Junior to the zoo. We would not be home before five (17.00) o’clock. Is that Ok with you and Andrzej?”

A blushing Rebecca replied, ”I am sure Junior would have a wonderful time with his uncles, don’t you Andrzej?”

A smiling Andrzej replied, “I totally agree.”

A month later the two were married at a quiet service at Apple Hill church with Jacob giving away the bride.

Andrzej moved into Rebecca’s room on the third floor. A year later, with Reg’s encouragement and loan, they bought a small townhouse two blocks away. After moving Rebecca insisted on preparing meals and help keep the house clean for Reg, Rob and Uncle Jacob. The uncles were frequent baby sitters for Junior. Nine months after the wedding, baby Maciek arrived (named after Andrzej’s father). At least once a week Andrzej enjoyed conversation with Rob, Jacob and sometimes Reg while sweating in the sauna. While it was a tight fit for all four to be together in the small home sauna, Andrzej did not appear to be bother by the closeness. The others enjoyed the intimacy.

************************************

As this chapter started: After Henry’s and Aiden’s all day drive from Georgia they were greeted at the door by a handsome man, who introduced himself as Jacob. He could barely introduce himself as two boisterous young boys, Jacob Junior age five and Maciek age two, came bounding into the entrance hall. A very pregnant Rebecca introduced herself and within an hour Rob and Andrzej came home from work. While Henry and Aiden had been told the stories of Rob and Jacob by Vlad and Reg during his visits to Ohio they were not aware of the existence of Andrzej, Rebecca and sons until their arrival that day. During their week-long visit to the Nation’s capital they enjoyed hearing the life adventures of their new friends. The sauna sessions of Henry, Aiden and Andrzej were both informative and tantalizing.
