Civil War Nudity

 Confederate Private John Walters was marching in a reinforcement column from Front Royal Virginia, to Maryland as the troops were advancing toward Pennsylvanian skirmishes.

He had already explained in his diary by this point, crossings of rivers and streams this Summer and wet wool uniforms would leave one with uncomfortable rashes, so they were always fully disrobed, carried clothes and packs over their head through the river while fully naked.
One would then dry off with their union suit underwear, and get back dressed, once upon the opposite bank.
So, as they approached Hagerstown, MD, they stopped, everybody hastily disrobed, they waded across the chest-deep Potomac, and cambored up to muster, and dry off, upon the top of the opposite slightly higher bank where they could then, get dressed.
They discovered, the whole town had turned out to greet the now nude heroes' regiment, in the open field ...with a BAND!

Some oil change

 When he disappeared from work, I had no clue where to check on him, no Facebook, he merely vanished. I don't know how a handsome stud just vanishes, I mean I figured he'd come back and turn in uniforms, be behind the counter at the grocery store, or something. I work in Central warehouse, and he was bucking for forklift operator, wben he suddenly departed.  So, I was bringing him up to speed on the safety courses, before letting him try his hand. ...Then, poof. I normally, by a few months in, figure out a way to see, on every guy I work with, just what he's got to work with ib the package department.  Like, for instance, Jim over there, stubby cut dick with a big left ball,  ...while Mike, on the forklift, is hanging a horsecock and no balls to speak of.   Tony? Well, not ALL black guys have big units.  Terry has a snouted cock, and as it was somewhat cold, I won't complain on his nugget size. But, Denny? Poof. Well, until today. I was getting an oil change kit, some w

Dan and I Jacked off

Image
 Mom had a neighbor buddy* named Dan, he often visited, and even babysat** for her if she needed. Dan and I were out of town at a Lodgemens' Convention; Mom went to Breckenridge. I was now 19, about to go into the Navy. All my life, I remember Dan was never a modest fella, even back when I still had buddy sleepovers, went camping, or, he took care of our pool; or, if he'd showered, and then trot out nekkid, while scratching his pubes, his dork would wiggle and sway heavily, as he used the Wall Phone, shaved nekkid, or changed slowly. He just never cared to hide it from me or my friends. Dan's puckered penis My sleepover buddies, (after he left our presence,) always commented on his hanging horsemeat. "I Like Dan's... aftershave, ...and his turkey-wattle dick-skin just gave me a stick, ..feel this!" (and, of course, I felt my bud's rod, which was rock solid...hence, an excuse to play with each other's.) So, now seeing Dan in our motel room wandering nak

Tow Jam

Image
 2nd hour of walking. The heels of my boots are starting to pound through the gel insoles. The day is warm, and I took off the sweat pants an hour ago. I chugged my water bottle.  Air horn, ...thanks asshole, I know you're coming, I heard you a mile back. Air brakes, rush of wind, and the tow truck was stopped, a few hundred yards ahead  I hooked-up, trotting to the passenger door, before he could change his mind. The door popped open, and driver was leaning to pick up an empty Gate-Raid bottle from the modest collection, in the passenger floor. "Climb on in! ...be with ya in a second." In one quick move, shoved a hand into his sweats, flipped his meats over the waistband, and pussy-fucked the mouth of the bottle, ...releasing a torrent of piss into the measurable confines. I stared at his openly relaxed balls, holding up the wantonly open pussy-hole, he lifted the bottle and as his flaccid cock loudly thumped, he screwed on the cap, feigned offering me a guzzle/turn, and
