Tel Pere, Tel Fils, Chapter 6
On Monday, Kevin began the process to have formal name changes for both of his sons. He also called the high school to enquire about some kind of emotional therapy for Paul. He didn't want his kid to suffer any more than necessary. The district had a young woman named April Wallace who worked half-time for the high school and the rest in establishing her private practice. She came highly recommended by her former instructors and current supervisors. She believed in using a variety of holistic methods to help her young clients without using drugs which might become addictive. And she was taking on some new patients.
Since Ms. Wallace was at City High some of the time, she sounded like a good fit for Paul. Kevin decided to call her to set up an appointment as soon as he could determine what worked with Paul's schedule.
When Paul texted Jamie to tell him about his prospective counselor, he was surprised at the response he received.
"Wow! That's my counselor too."
"So, what's she like?"
"HOT!"
"Um, tell me more!"
"She's about five feet, five, blond, and has nice tits! I think she's maybe 24 years old. She's very friendly and always gives me a hug when I leave."
"Like, do you get hard when she does?"
"Yup."
"Do you think she noticed?"
"I always wear my shinny jeans on the days I see her, so what do you think?"
"I think I'm gonna dress like that for my first appointment."
On Monday night, when the two of them got ready to go to bed, Kevin discussed with Glenn another topic which was on his mind.
"I know we had `the talk' about the facts of life with Nate his freshman year prior to the session that they had at school. I think we should do the same for Paul. Any mention of sex might help distract his mind from the trauma he's been through recently, and we could add Jamie, if Ella thinks he should be included. I hope you'll do it with me. You know more about parenting a teenager than I do."
"Of course, I'm willing to do it together. Perhaps we should have Nate and Peter sit in too. Nate will know what's going to be covered at school and your older son might want to know some of those things and be hesitant to ask. From what I've gathered, those boys have been sheltered to the point that Thelma wouldn't let them be in health classes on days when sex was likely to be discussed in any form."
"See, you are a better parent. I hadn't thought about how inexperienced Peter might be. Since Nate and he have become `close,' I'm not sure how naïve either of them is, but I guess I should take a proactive approach. I'll bet they'll all be more comfortable doing this as a group. It's likely to open lines of communication among them as well as with us. Like I said a while ago, you have the best ideas," Kevin said.
"Ah, but as I recall, you came up with a better one. Care to repeat it?"
"Of course!"
Since they were about to take their shower, nothing stood in their way.
When approached about Jamison's inclusion, Ella was delighted. She was trying to be the best surrogate parent she could, but she had avoided talking to the kid about anything of a sexual nature after he'd been quite embarrassed when she'd attempted to bring up the subject in the past. Once more, she sensed that her job in this household had many benefits beyond the generous wages she received. She was pleased to give her permission for him to sleep over on Wednesday night as well. No doubt they'd like the opportunity to discuss things further as they drifted off to sleep.
Probably the person who was the most nervous about "the talk" was Kevin. Although Glenn and he had been through it with Nate, in this case he felt more stress because it was with his own sons.
Ella had prepared a lovely dinner on Wednesday night and had chosen not to stay and eat with them. Kevin insisted she at least take her meal home so she wouldn't have to make something else for herself.
Once she had departed, the conversation got into some of the things the men wanted to share with the younger teens. First, they stressed that masturbation was natural and that most males did it even after they got past puberty. They were pretty sure that few people in the modern world considered it to be a sin. Peter and Paul told them that quite a number of people still held those views in their church. They were relieved to know that the feeling wasn't universal.
Talking about things like contraceptives while eating dinner made the discussion casual and quite natural too. No one appeared to be embarrassed as the men told them to buy quality condoms instead of those found in restroom vending machines. They also advised against using ones that had gone beyond their expiration date or had been stored in a hot place like the trunk of a car.
When the table was cleared, Glenn picked up a couple of English cucumbers from the counter. With one of them, he demonstrated how to properly put on a rubber, pinching the reservoir end and rolling it down until most of it was encased in the latex.
Then he had the teens work in pairs doing the same thing to make sure they knew how. It was probably a good thing that the boys were sitting at the table because the bulges in their jeans would have given away exactly how stimulating the process was.
After rolling the condoms back to their original form, the boys were encouraged to try them on their own dicks later in private. Once they'd been out of their foil packaging, they wouldn't be good to use for anything else, unless they wanted to blow them up like balloons.
The discussion of dildoes did cause quite a bit of blushing, especially for Nate and Peter, who didn't think about the fact that the toys could be used to please a woman. Glenn admitted to using things like cucumbers and bananas as a teen when he was first attempting to stretch himself.
"Be sure to use a lot of lubrication, like KY Jelly, Sliquid, or Astroglide, when attempting to pleasure yourself anally or when copulating with another male," Kevin added. "Actually, it's a good idea to use it if you're having sex with a female who doesn't have a lot of experience. Most of them will produce secretions which help ease your dick into them. However, a little extra never hurts – at least it hopefully won't hurt!" he joked. "Sex should always be pleasurable."
His grin and attempt at humor helped the kids relax.
They talked a bit further about not forcing anyone who wasn't eager to participate, and that "NO" means "NO" whether in a same-sex or hetero relationship.
At the end, the men said that the boys could keep the rest of the condoms and the lube in the closet of the main bathroom upstairs for anyone to use if the need arose.
"Um, this shouldn't be viewed as a license to screw, but we'd rather you were prepared than facing fatherhood before you're ready, or coming down with an STD. Obviously, if you're disease-free and mess around with each other and no one else, you're not going to catch anything," Kevin said.
"If you'd have had a condom, I wouldn't exist," Peter blushed.
"In your case, I'm very happy I wasn't prepared. I'll never be sorry for helping to create you or that I was instrumental in causing Paul to be."
"I'm lucky to have both you guys as my sort of brothers," Nate added.
"I guess I'm the only one not related to any of you, but I appreciate being here with all of you," Jamie said. "Thanks for including me in this. I know Grandma wanted to make sure I knew about sex and protection, but I was really embarrassed when she tried to talk with me."
"We love you like another son," Glenn assured him. "We'll always be available to answer your questions. We can all be related by love."
When they stood up, everyone gave Jamie at least a shoulder hug to show him that he belonged.
As one might expect, the teens decided to turn in early that night. The men assumed that their reason wasn't for getting more sleep than usual. When they checked the table, they realized that the kids had taken supplies they'd given them and one of the cucumbers was also missing. That reinforced their assumption that sleep wasn't the first thing on the boys' minds.
"Let's share a shower before we play with the condoms," Peter suggested. I want to try some things if you're willing."
"Does it involve the cucumber?"
"Um, yeah, I was thinking we might see what it feels like to, um, you know..."
"Sounds like a plan to me," Nate agreed.
"Let's practice putting the rubbers on," Jamie suggested to Paul.
"Okay. We could watch each other to make sure we do it right," Paul grinned.
They had both showered and were ready to engage in this new experience which made them about a hard as could be. Sitting side by side on Paul's bed, they rolled the prophylactics on like pros.
"This feels so sexy!" Paul declared. "It makes me want to do stuff that my youth leader said we aren't supposed to do."
"Like get laid?"
"Or, like jack off,"
"Weren't you even allowed to do that?"
"We were told not to, but it's really hard to keep from doing it, you know."
"No one ever told me I couldn't," Jamie said. "But I seriously never talked with an adult about it. I learned to do it in the restroom from another kid at school."
"Do you shoot stuff?"
"Yeah. Do you?"
"Uh huh."
"Did the other boy, um, stroke you?"
"Yeah. Would you like us to do that with each other?"
"Do you think that would make us gay?"
"Nope."
"Okay, let's."
Further communication between them was mostly in sighs of pleasure and mutual grins. When they came, they were amazed at how much jizz was in the reservoirs of their condoms.
Thursday, when the school-sponsored sex talk came up for the freshmen, Paul and Jamie weren't embarrassed to participate in the discussion. Both felt that nothing new was being covered. In fact, Glenn's demonstration of how to properly put on a condom was superior to the instructions projected on the screen.
With everything they'd learned in the past couple of days, they felt more comfortable with their transition into the adult world.
The following Wednesday marked Peter's 18th birthday. Since it fell on a school night, Kevin thought the celebration shouldn't last so long that it prevented him from getting adequate sleep. There was a buffet at the country club that evening, so Kevin planned to take the extended clan there for dinner. Ella was pleased that her grandson and she were included. It would give Jamie a taste of how the other half lived. With Glenn's help, she gave them instructions on which piece of silverware to use for each course. They said that the usual rule was to begin at the outside and work in, so the fork on the far left was normally the one used for salad and the other was saved for the entrée. If they chose soup as one of the courses, it was proper to dip the spoon away from them, letting the opposite rim of the bowl catch any drip which might occur. If their dessert called for a fork, that was usually at the top of the plate or brought by their waiter.
Their four pupils were attentive because they didn't want to embarrass themselves, or the adults, when they were in polite company.
On the way home from school on the 21st, Peter considered making a side-trip to the adult shop. He was nervous about entering an establishment where there might be people who would try to do something to him that he didn't want to do. If Nate were old enough to accompany him, he might be okay.
In discussing it, the two teenagers agreed that going there to buy dildoes might be legal for Peter, but they weren't sure that they were ready to use them. The whole idea sounded exciting but kind of cheap to them. They agreed to take up the subject again at bedtime. In the meantime, they had some homework to finish before dinner, so they wouldn't be stressed while eating there celebratory meal.
Peter's birthday party was a small but elegant affair. It was more than he'd ever dreamed of. After Paul had come along, Peter had ceased to be the center of attention in his family. He didn't resent Paul for having the attention showered on him, but he had felt left out. He had always been protective of Paul, and Paul developed a kind of hero worship of his older sibling.
The adults were proud of the teens' table manners and how grown up they appeared. There were a few members of the club who could learn a thing or two about proper etiquette.
After they'd eaten what they desired, they were treated to a beautiful chocolate cake with 18 candles on it. Peter was encouraged to make a wish before blowing them out. He looked briefly around the table before speaking.
"I think my only wish is that things continue like they are right now. I've never been happier in my life, thanks to all of you!"
He quickly blew out the candles and cut a slice for each person. Everyone chose a small one because they felt sated already. After they'd finished, a waiter packaged the remaining part for the birthday boy to take home. There would be more than enough for dessert the next evening.
When they got home, Peter opened cards and small gifts from everyone. It had been a perfect celebration of his passage to adulthood. Now, no one could stand in the way of his living with his father.
Although they'd showered before dressing for dinner, Nate suggested that they have another quick one prior to going to bed. He had one more gift he'd like to give.
"I want you to lie back and let me give you the best head I can. You don't have to do anything in return. I read up on the `net about some techniques which are supposed to be hot."
"So, I can't do anything to you at the same time?"
"Nope, this is what's called a '68.'
"What the heck is that?"
"I give you a blow job and you owe me one later."
"Jeez! That's like a dad joke."
Once Nate got into it, Peter realized it wasn't a laughing matter. He was transported into a realm of ecstasy that went beyond anything he'd experienced before. Nate brought him to the brink twice and backed off before allowing him to plunge over the edge. It was breath-taking.
In the afterglow, they kissed and cuddled.
"I still feel like you got cheated," Peter said.
"Not at all. I loved knowing that I could please you so much. I think that's part of what love is supposed to be about."
"Oh, wow! We've never used the `L' word before. Do you really love me."
"Yeah, I guess I thought you could tell. I was hoping you felt the same."
"I do. I was afraid to say it, you know, like I might jinx it or something. Or maybe you'd think we hadn't known each other long enough."
"We've been friends for two years already. Lots of people get married before they've known each other that long."
"I suppose. But a lot of people divorce too. I don't want us to be like that."
"So, does this have anything to do with not buying a dildo?"
"Yeah, I guess it does. I didn't want you to think that I was only interested is sex. I mean, I love having sex with you, but my feelings go a lot deeper. It's not just for the thrill. Does that make any sense?"
"Yup, it makes a lot of sense. We don't have to rush into anything. When the time is right for going further, we'll both know it."
"But what if we do, um, have intercourse and then break up?"
"I hope we never break up, but if we did, we would still have good memories."
"That's so cool!"
