I lay there with all the joy of a nihilist German as a prostitute’s saggy wrinkly breasts smashed into my face like battering rams. What an abysmal sight, what an abysmal way of trying to experience sex for the first time. But you can’t fault the young me, I was still trying to reach the land of the un-virgined, and I was routinely failing. I remember lying there underneath a prostitute who upped the ante in the definition of what it was to be saggy, quietly wondering whether I did anything horrendous in my past life like vote for Margaret Thatcher. It was not a pretty sight or a pleasant feeling, but for you to get the whole grasp of the events I will start from the beginning of this ordeal.
The “massage parlour” hid on a dark wet street of Manchester with enough of it covered so those less inclined to its seedy ways ignored it, but it showed enough leg to be seen by those who craved its carnality. A light Manchester drizzle that never ended pattered onto the city and onto my face as I stood in front the entrance, a menacing metal door that was fighting a losing battle to rust. I looked down both sides of the street to see if anyone was around to condemn me with judgement. All I could see was darkness struggling to extinguish the flickering orange street lights. I took a deep breath and I pressed the buzzer. After a few seconds a sententious voice answered.
“Yes?”
The voice evoked so much lust that I could have had my way with just the buzzer itself.
“Um. I’d like to come in,” I meekly said.
“Why?” the buzzer alluringly teased.
“um.” I hesitated, pangs of guilt of what I was going to do crept through my entire body, but I managed to stick to my guns, and I naturally did not want to disappoint the buzzer.
“Girls!” I boomed with a confidence that most would class as timid.
The door buzzed and I walked in.
I entered a small dark corridor to come across a reception that was lit by purple neon lights. Hardcore pornography played on a small television in the corner of the room. It was an old school porno flick because of the excessive amounts of pubic hair. Excessive that it even censored some of the parts of the action.
“Hello, so what would you be looking to enjoy today?” a beautiful blonde girl behind the reception desk said. Well, I thought she was blonde, there is only so much colour you can distinguish in purple neon light. I thought this to be a positive sign as she was stunning, so I quietly prayed to whatever deity would hear that she would be the one.
“Um, what do you have?” I was able to say in an octave higher than normal.
“Well…..” she said as she put the end of a pen in her moist pouty lips.
“We have Thai if you fancy that? She’s just about to finish up with a client so you’d only have to wait for a few minutes.”
I decided that I’d ask her to see if she was available but all that came out instead was “ok”. There was also one other person waiting in the reception on a couch, and the only free seat was next to him. This person was a fat middle aged man who so clearly shaved his head in anger over the fact he was going bald. I couldn’t help but think that his brow would find a better home on an Easter Island statue.He gave me one look, and I could tell he wanted to do something which I did not, small talk.
“Alright mate. So who have you gone for?” he smiled and slurred out with a gruff Yorkshire accent.
“Um. The Thai bird,” I said abruptly without looking at him, hoping he got the hint that I was in no mood for conversation.
“Ooooh, her, have you had her before?”
“Um. No. First time here.”
“Really? Fucking hell, I remember my first time here. About ten year back, pissed as a fucking fart. Was a different owner back then, not as a smooth operation as they got now.”
“Oh.”
“And…where the fuck was I. Ah yes, I was pissed as a fucking fart, come in staggering all over the place and slam my money on the table at reception. Get to see this nice little blonde number. Go in the room, and me being absolutely fucking legless, I give her an extra hundred so I can fucking fuck her without a johnny. Oh she was a fucking screamer, fucking loved every minute of it. I pounded her like a fucking jack hammer. I really pounded her.”
“Oh.”
“Pounded her like there was no tomorrow.”
“Um.”
“You should have been there to see the fucking levels of fucking pounding I pounded.”
“Really.”
“Aye, that’s how I caught herpes though…..herpes won’t go you know.”
He sat there staring at me, waiting for my response, waiting for me to comment in awe of his sexual prowess and talents in catching herpes. What do you say to someone like that? I smiled meekly and then quickly moved my gaze to the old-school pornography on the grainy screen. I could tell he was still looking at me, wanting more for a validation, but like most people I really didn’t want to talk about a fat old bloke’s herpes riddled cock.
“Cunt,” I heard him utter. Being British and middle class I did the best thing I could possibly do in that situation, I pretended to not of heard and hope upon hope that there would be no conflict. I wasn’t a fighter, hell I wasn’t even a lover, so the last thing I wanted to do was do the man dance with someone who evolution so clearly forgot. Luckily a few seconds later the receptionist called me over.
“She’s ready now, room 3.”
I walked through some bead curtains to a corridor which that was surprisingly decorated with tasteful modern art. A different fat middle aged bald man left room 3, but this one looked content. As he squeezed by me he gave me a pat on the shoulder, a thumbs up, and a cheeky wink. I looked at where he put his hand on my shoulder to see a glistening wet mark, all I could do was grimace and shudder. I stood outside the door, took a deep breath, and then that’s when I felt doubts about going through with the act. I weighed up the cons, about how this wasn’t the way I wanted to experience sex, how I might somehow catch a STD, how I was spending money which I didn’t have, and how I really just wanted to be with someone I actually cared about. Then I realised I was an alcoholic social retard, so finding a girlfriend any time soon was unlikely, and I had to have sex otherwise the shame would be unbearable if I didn’t break this curse. I opened the door and walked through.
There stood the Thai prostitute. The neon light and darkness hid any imperfections of the skin, but it couldn’t hide the fact that cellulite had more than colonised every part of her body. She wore a black thong that was swallowed up into her vagina and hid under her gut, and the black bra she wore was fighting to survive under the weight of her gargantuan breasts. She certainly wasn’t the dainty Thai girl that I was expecting. As soon as she opened her mouth, the expectation was shattered further.
“Alright lovey,” she said in a cockney accent with enough gravel to pave a driveway. I stood there in shock, but being the polite Englishman I was I had to respond cordially.
“Yes, thank you.”
I stood there, unsure of what to do, whether I should run screaming out into the concrete jungle or stick to the plan. Before I could decide the Thai prostitute ordered me onto the bed.
“Take your clothes off lovey and get on the bed.” I stood there for a second, still in shock with the realisation this short stocky Thai girl belonged more in a Guy Ritchie film than a “massage parlour”. Being in complete dread and fear all I could do was do as I was ordered and I quickly took my clothes of and jumped on the massage bed face down.
“Ooooh, ain’t you a pretty one!” I heard her grunt before she slapped and squeezed one of my bottom cheeks. Then I heard her cough, her throat was thick with phlegm which I could only assume came from at least a 20 a day smoking habit, cigarettes that is. She then grabbed me and turned me over as if I was made of only feathers. With surprising ease she pulled her self onto the massage bed. The bed whimpered and creaked in pain from her body weight, I could almost hear it beg for her to stop as she crawled her way up to straddle my stomach. The Thai prostitute then began to rub her tits on my face, almost suffocating me in the process, something which at that moment of time I would of welcomed.
“Oooh yeah lovey, you like that don’t you,” she tried to say with seduction after another phlegmy cough. The breast smothering stopped and she moved back to undo her bra with a finesse you’d associate with a drunken orang-utan. That was when the true scope of my situation hit me.
There lay before me two gigantic breasts that must of sagged down at least a foot. I gaped in absolute horror, as these two giant mammary glands like pendulums that swung in different directions and to a different rhythm. Even the pink neon light couldn’t hide the wrinkly stretch marks that lined the side of these breasts like the zig zaggedness of a Chinese hand fan.
“Oh yeah lovey, I’ve been a bad girl.” She gave her chest a shake and than purposefully moved up and down so the swinging goliaths decided to changed their trajectory to that of my face. That was when one breast smacked right into my left eye, and all I could do was recoil in terror. When I turned back to see that the other breast was starting its attack, and the other was flying back into formation for another assault. The onslaught had only began, and with each smack of the tit on my face a little extra part of me died.
Was I suppose to actually enjoy this? Was I flaccid because of my sexual paranoia? Now that I think about it I know quite simply that this prostitute was a car crash of a woman, but back then I actually started to think it was my own fault that I wasn’t ready and raging to pound away.
So there I lay in a massage parlour, feeling numb and getting assaulted by a fat woman’s tits. That was when she put her hand between my legs and grabbed my smaller friend who was quite clearly not in the mood for playing.
“What’s wrong lovey? You on coke or something?”
“Er, yeah.”
She got up off the massage table, I was finally saved from an attack that would of even left the Great Wall of China in ruins. I quickly jumped off the bed as well and put my clothes on. I saw in her face a look of surprise, but that quickly changed to one of caring.
“You shouldn’t do that stuff lovey. It ain’t good.”
“Yeah, I know. Yeah.”
I then left the room, and headed into the reception to pay for this self-esteem murdering experience, but she wasn’t there. I felt hot with shame and disgust, sweat began to pour all over my face trying in vain to cool me down. Then that’s when I saw still sitting down was the herpes ridden middle aged man, and he still wanted to talk.
“Fucking hell mate! I heard screams of some girl getting the shit pounded out of her! I bet that was you wasn’t it?” he said with a sleazy grin.
I felt a switch flip inside me, and I calmly walked up to him, stuck my face into his, and with a coldness that could freeze water I said “Shut the fuck up mate or I will rip your fucking throat out.” I remember wanting him to stand up to the challenge, I wanted him to swing at me, as I was more than ready to turn my frustrations into fists with punches that were thirsty for blood. Instead he turned his face downward in subjugation, so I left it and waited to pay.
The receptionist suddenly appeared, so I quickly paid the £40 and left still shaking with adrenaline.
This again was another failed attempt of sex that left me with shame that tried to swallow every good part of me like a vortex. I was made to feel worthless when I was growing up, that my very being wasn’t even fit to enjoy the air that others breathed, and now what I thought would bring me some solace was adding more salt to my still fresh wounds that many had given me. How many more attempts would it take before I simply lost it? It started to feel like I would I crack before I would ever become intimate, and that I would simply accept that I was far to damaged to even consider being with another. Fortunately the dices rolled had a different plan and they led me to a little place called Hong Kong. A Hong Kong prostitute would finally bring me what I sought, but then she would introduce me to a whole new world of insecurities and problems.
