Steam & Silence The door hisses shut. Heavy. Sealed. Steam rising in waves thick enough to cloud everything — except thought. The bench is warm. Wood pressed against skin I don’t often show. Naked, except for the things I can’t leave behind. There’s chatter outside the glass. Weights clank. Music thumps. Someone’s laughing — probably Dean, teasing someone into a new PR set. But in here, there’s silence. Steam. And memory....

The taxis in Germany were quite nice, far superior to what you would find in the US, and that taxi ride to the hotel went quicker than normal. Before I could replay the night’s events in my mind, the taxi pulled up to my home away from home. I stepped out of the cab, and the taxi driver unloaded my suitcase for me. I tipped the cab driver twenty Euros, much to his surprise. I was feeling extra generous that day. I grabbed...

“That’s it with your giggling, you two! You’re staying after practice for extra sets!” Coach Will shook his head as he looked down at his two top swimmers. Molly and Lauren held onto the wall with one hand and covered their mouths with the other, trying to stifle their laughter. Coach had been on them all season for goofing off during practice. Today, they’d found his limit. “Come on, girls,” coach continued. “You are col...

Melissa cranked the heat up in the Sauna right up to the point of leaving. Except she didn’t leave. She leaned against the door, let her bikini top fall, and smiled at me. I couldn’t help but stare at the enormity of her tits. She knelt on the floor, extracted my cock from my shorts and proceeded to titty-fuck it before standing up, pushing her G-string to one side and rubbing her ass on my dick. It slipped in. “No, not t...

A few years ago, my wife applied to go on one of those property search TV programs. We would watch ‘Dream Home in the Country’ or ‘Escape to the Sea’ and similar programs. My wife kept on badgering me until I agreed, and she applied. It would change our lives in unexpected ways. There was an exchange of emails, and a few weeks later a researcher visited us at home. She was in her twenties, and I thought she was gorgeous....

The semester was finally over and it was Christmas break. I decided to spend the first day of the break at the sauna. I was so relaxed that I may have fallen asleep for a moment until the squeak of the door opening jarred me awake. “Tony!” the voice said. I immediately recognized the short female figure from school with her thin, tight athletic body. “Melanie,” I managed to say. “What are you doing here?” “Same as you,” s...

“Looking good, Joe!” Amy taunts from the porch, almost startling me off the ladder. Is it the Christmas lights I’m stringing up that she’s admiring? Or - yikes - my boner? I've been absentmindedly humming “Stacy’s Mom" by Fountains of Wayne, changing it to "Amy's Mom" in my head. I was so lost in erotic thoughts of Amy’s mom as I worked that I didn't notice Amy herself watching me. And my boner. Amy's boyfriend pulls into...

Sauna Berlin quickly became my usual hangout to relax. I loved the feeling of being naked with a mixed group of men and women. It was so liberating. So free. So unlike my home town and culture. It was new and invigorating. I met Gretchen there many times. Every now and then she would still have to give me a hand in the changing cubicle to get things under control. Sometimes I would have to take care of it myself if she wa...

===================== Christmas Eve, 4:30 am Within a minute of starting my drive to the airport, I realize something is wrong. And I don’t mean with my family, whom I am about to visit for Christmas. Not that there isn't plenty wrong there. But the more immediate problem is that my car has a flat tire. I pull off somewhere safe to change the tire. In the dark. I keep a headlamp in the car, but as my luck would have it, t...
