An old friend I’d known for about 8-9 years from high school. We’d kept in touch and we’ve always been close as friends. Back in high school, we’d make out and shit occasionally but it never went anywhere, which seemed just like a friendly exploration. This probably would have happened sooner if we’d both been single for a stretch. We’ve both always been comfortable talking about sex and sharing about casual sex experiences.

How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it?

We’d been chatting and smoking for hours at his place and his friend had just left. He asked if I wanted to make out and I said yes, but only if we moved to the bed. While he was getting a glass of water or something, I slipped off my pants, feeling sort of bold. After making out for a bit he asked what I wanted from this. My answer was basically “anything but check in with me as we go.”

What happened DURING the hookup? What sexual behaviors took place (e.g., oral, vaginal, anal, kinky stuff)? How did you feel during it? How did they behave toward you? Were they a good lover? What did you talk about? How did it end?

Overall it was great. He was good at communicating and paid attention to the way that my body responded etc. He started by fingering me and it was seriously great but I had a hard time reaching orgasm, despite feeling really close for a long time. He was really comfortable with himself and I felt really comfortable with myself, and I was really into it. He was awesome at checking in and ensuring consent, so eventually, I felt confident enough to just say “let’s fuck.” He went to put a condom on but I teased him and sucked his dick a little bit beforehand. We fucked in missionary, and again it was good and I was really into it but couldn’t cum, not sure why. He asked if he could cum in a frantic voice and I could tell that it was probably inevitable so I said yes. After pulling out we laid together and talked and watched the sunrise.

What was the BEST thing about this hookup? Honestly it came after having a really shitty casual sex experience where I felt really pressured into it and didn’t get ANY satisfaction out of it, so the best thing this did for me was reassuring me that good, consensual sex was possible and that I wasn’t doing something wrong to have gotten into that situation. It also felt really fucking good.

What was the WORST thing about this hookup? Couldn’t cum

Has this hookup changed the way you think about casual sex, sexuality, or yourself in general? Casual sex with friends can be great because you already have practice with each other’s communication styles.
