Diner Diary #4
I'm thinking about the only partner I ever used a strap with. Third of the total four girlfriends I've had.
To this day I still have no idea what initially made me ask. I'd thought about it before, ever since understanding my attraction to women, I'd daydreamed and wondered if I'd ever get the chance.
It's been 5 years, maybe more, and all I know is it was unprompted.
A confidence I often pretend to claim swelled in me and somehow my courage became audible: "I want to get a strap-on. I want my arms around you while I make you feel good."
I didn't expect her to readily agree. I didn't expect the warm feeling of shopping for it together online. I didn't expect the excitement of the day it arrived. I didn't expect how at ease I felt in trying it on.
I rarely let myself remember the heady feeling of that first moment pushing into her. I shy away from the echo of her moans and whimpers.
I hate the way so much time has past and still my heart skips a beat and squeezes in my chest.
I wish I didn't remember the way those moments felt.
I want so badly to forget that she demanded it be okay for her to sleep with men. The way she told me I could never compare to them.
The way I just accepted, didn't fight, didn't leave. Just "Yeah sure, baby, whatever you need."
I want to forget that she asked me if we could try it again. I want to lie to myself and pretend I didn't eagerly jump at the chance. Only for her to push me away when my moans joined hers. Only to tell me she wanted no part of my "disgusting fantasy."
As if my desire to hold her close was an affront to decency; a sickness of loving her.
I wish I wasn't with her another several months after she told me how she really felt.
"I want you to wait until I want you. Like a toy on a shelf I can play with when I choose." She said.
"But I'm a person." I whispered.
I wish I could forget that laugh, like me being worth respect or basic decency was the funniest thing I'd ever said.
