Lonely men in a lonely theater

“You two are the first Yale students I’ve ever picked up from that place,” said our cab driver, with laughter in his voice.

Given that it’s just an $11 cab ride away from Old Campus, in East Haven, one might expect at least the occasional Yalie to undertake the journey, if only for the experience.

i myself have become entranced once inside the theater. the first time i went in i simply sat there for hours observing. second time, i still felt uncomfortable but somehow got the courage to masterbate to the content on the screen, men watching me and all. i've been there about 5 times now, last time i went i stood at the back wall under the projector masterbating, to my right there was a crossdresser and to my left 3 men pleasuring eachother. I must agree that the reason i go there is because I am tired of being said no to. everybody in there wants to help eachother, like friends u never met. i'm scared of going a 6th time and doing things i cant forgive myself for. i dont know if i'm gay or not but i kno what i want to do because i'm married and have a child.
