New Orleans. Bourbon Street. circa 1998

I was 20 years old and had a good buzz on. I had found that if I walked to the doors of the bars and strip clubs with confidence, I didn't get carded. I had left my group of Navy buddies to explore the seedier establishments on the street and one did not disappoint.

I entered the small, smokey strip club. It was very dark except for the stage. On stage was a very pale dark-haired beauty. If she was an enchantress, I was enchanted. Another dancer asked if I wanted a lap dance and I politely declined without taking my eyes off the woman on stage.

When she finished her dance, she approached me for lap dance, I agreed and to the back of the club we went. She was even more beautiful close up. She noticed my pentacle pendant and she wore one as well, we were both dabblers in Wiccan and Neo-Pagan magic and chatted about that. I noticed that dark veins visible on her full pale breasts. I thought it made her look like a vampire and was captivated.

The lap dances began and the $20's flowed. I had my enlistment bonus and was blowing it quickly. She grinded on my aroused crotch wearing only a g-string, and another round of dances was had. I asked for a peak behind the g-string, she couldn't, club policy. But she looked around and told me to sit in another seat. She gave an even raunchier dance there and at one point her hands in my hair and my face buried in her crotch. Just the thinnest piece of fabric between my mouth and her sex. The smell was intoxicating. More dances were had.

She then suggested a two-girl show. I obliged. This was all the way at the back of the club. Her friend, a darker skinned Creole girl joined her on a 2-inch platform the size of a bathtub. They kissed, then grinded on each other, the groped each others breasts. The darker one had her leg way up and the other girl got her face close to her sex, looked around for management and pulled her g-string to the side and licked her, deeply with a long tongue, just a foot in front of my face.

After that show they asked if I wanted to "party" with them at my hotel for $300. I was sharing a room with my Navy buddies... I couldn't. I thought about getting a cheaper room - but chickened out on the idea. I was, after all, a virgin at the time, and one woman was intimidating enough, but two?!

The next night however, I did return, with more courage and $400 in my pocket. She wasn't working though, and I ended up blowing my cash on a much less rewarding experience.

And that's how I almost lost my virginity in a threesome.
