After the softball game I got my bike to ride home. I stopped by the toilet to take a leak and found there was a man there at the urinal. It was one of those old time urinals, one long, high piece of porcelain, no dividers. No hiding if you didn't pee. He was just standing there, close, adjusting himself, as one does when finished, and I was there trying to will myself to pee, but struggling a bit. "It helps if you just imagine the pee flowing through your dick," he said, "that's what I al...

Mr. Parker is a neighbourhood man. He feeds me a yoghurt. That is a turn on. He collars me. That is a turn on. He tells me that if I masturbate, I should wear the collar, and that when I come to work, I should wear the collar. I do. Good boy. Next, he depilates me, my pubes, and puts me into a chastity device. With my raging hormones it isn't long before he has me begging for release. He tells me how boys like me get release, sucking and servicing men as their play toys, as their puppies.

I had been thinking about chastity devices and wanting to try one. I had bought one and I couldn't get it to work and it was all cheap. I looked online and thought I could go to a shop and I found a sex shop that appeared to cater to gay, but I figured what the heck, they had a good selection, and probably could explain what I was doing wrong, so I went. I had already shaved my pubes in anticipation. I go to the shop and they have a bunch of different ones, and I ask them about them, and i...

We go back to watch porn. He asks me am I wearing her panties. I say yes, are you…he says yes, but he lies. Let me see he says later, when we are getting turned on. No way, he says…he makes me take everything off but the panties…you like sitting there in panties right. Kind of. Look at this, he says, and he ...
