Preface
This introduction is designed to acquaint the reader with the main character, Ryan, and to provide an overview of the setting where the following stories take place.
It is an entirely fictional piece of work.
Ryan is an Australian kid, approximately one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, weighing around seventy kilograms. His eyes are deep blue, his hair a light brown and moderately bleached by the sun. His physique continues to develop with some definition in the leg and chest areas already discernible.
Ryan was blessed with olive skin, and due to much outdoor activity, has developed a beautiful bronzed complexion. His legs are matted with fine hairs, which are almost invisible from the bleaching effects of the sun. He is otherwise smooth, except for those regions which mark the onset of puberty.
He has a boyish face with full lips that accentuate his gorgeous smile. His hair has a slight wave and, much to his mother's displeasure, hangs around shoulder length, the fringe covering his eyes. Like all teenagers, Ryan suffers from the occasional dreaded pimple, otherwise his face remains flawless, bar a light development of `bum fluff' on his chin.
Ryan is a social creature and knocks around with a few good mates. By the same token, he also enjoys his own company and is not unknown to occupy himself for hours on end.
Ryan's greatest passion is the sea, he loves to surf, and could quite easily make the beach his home. He regrets not spending nearly enough time practicing his revered pastime. To take his board on public transport is a nightmare, not only for himself, but also the other passengers, and secondly, to secure a lift is often near impossible. Needless to say, those occasions where he does find himself floating out on a swell, waiting for the perfect wave, are some of his most cherished.
Ryan prefers autonomous sports, which is why he chose swimming as his school sport. He enjoys the peacefulness and solitude of the activity. Not to mention the perfect opportunity to check out his peers in their form fitting lycra Speedo's, both in and out of the pool.
Whilst Ryan enjoys independent sports, an impromptu game of cricket or touch footie with his mates is something he won't knock back.
Cycling and skate boarding are two other activities that rank highly on Ryan's list. He uses both as modes of transport and for recreation. At least once a week he visits the local skate bowl and ramp, which are located in the next suburb. On occasion, he takes his mountain bike to the national park, where he goes `off roading' along a predetermined fire trail.
Upon completion of his primary years at the local public school, Ryan's parents decided to enroll their son at a reputable private boy's school on Sydney's Lower North Shore.
A strict uniform code prevails and consists of black shoes, black socks, charcoal trousers and a thin black belt, white shirt, deep blue tie displaying the schools emblem, a blazer of the same blue and either a cap, (for the juniors), or a boater, (for the seniors). Ryan wore the cap.
All the boys have a standard issue backpack, displaying the school colors of black and dark green, with the logo prominently displayed.
There is also a physical education uniform, composed of a white singlet and footie style shorts, both with the schools colors striped on them, the singlet diagonally across the chest and the shorts, down the side. White socks and sneakers are also obligatory.
At sixteen, Ryan is in year ten, which means that this year he is sitting for his `school certificate'.
In the social pecking order, Ryan is somewhere around the middle, not `hip' enough for the cool group, yet decent enough not to be looked upon as a pleb. What little insight Ryan had relating to his sexuality was a closely held secret. He shrewdly deflected any comments which insinuated his preference might be of the same sex.
Nonetheless, spiteful aspersions and derogative names were all part of school life, and Ryan couldn't help wondering if the other students were able to discern something about his character that was unbeknown to him. This suspicion only made him try all the harder to appear masculine.
Normally Ryan would take the train to school as it was by far the quickest route, but on occasion he chose the bus, which stopped in the next street and set down directly outside his school gates.
Catching the bus was useful on those days when the weather was poor, or simply if Ryan felt unmotivated to walk the half a kilometer to the train station.
Ryan's parent's house is located in an affluent suburb of Sydney's Upper North Shore. Many of the streets are tree lined, including theirs, some of the homes are of considerable proportion with immaculately landscaped gardens.
Their residence is a beautifully restored `Federation' house, with large rooms, high ceilings and polished floors. All the windows retained the original stained glass panels. During the summer months, the house remains wonderfully cool, due to the double brick veneer.
Inside, the home is tastefully decorated, designed to complement the style of the abode. The furnishings are casual and inviting.
Ryan's room is large and looks much like any teenagers. Mostly solid wooden furniture, a wardrobe, desk, chair, tall boy, single bed and a large antique freestanding full-length mirror. Some tasteful rugs covering the exposed floors, the family's old stereo and some dowdy posters adorn the walls.
There is one large window divided into three segments, the side two swing outwards, whilst the middle one is fixed. Heavy drapes hang by the window edge. The view extends to the backyard, where the trees and shrubbery are arranged to provide complete privacy.
His room is generally in a state of disarray, the bed usually left unmade, clothes on the floor and that musty aroma reserved specially for youth.
In essence, Ryan is your average Australian boy, undergoing the changes of puberty. Always one of equitable temperament, his transition though adolescence is not as turbulent as it may be for some.
Ryan has yet to come to terms with his sexual orientation. He knows that he has no inclination for the opposite sex, yet the pressure to be normal' deludes him into thinking that this is just a phase'. In addition, Ryan knows no other gay people and consequently feels somewhat isolated.
For Ryan it is a time of change, of new experiences, of developing identity, but most conspicuous is his unrelenting libido, his obsession with sex. Never before has he remained so constantly hard, his hands between his legs at every opportunity, sexual fantasies running rampant through his head, whilst continually discovering new ways of pleasuring himself.
These stories are a tribute to Ryan's sexual awakening. I hope you enjoy them.
