Fatbastard: Stories

Old fellah gradually collects some friends to share his interests in sex, diving, boating and mushrooms. They include a formerly hot young chick with a grandfather fetish who is now an old chick, a very well brought up Catholic girl, now exploring all sorts of new and exciting experiences, an old diving buddy with an interesting past, and some neighbours with their own secrets. As the story develops, the personal histories of the characters emerge. Various adventures follow.

Coming of Age and first exploring sex in 1950s New Zealand, with advice and mentoring from my Uncle Frank. He answered my questions and gave me lots of advice about relating to girls and women that set me up for life. This is the story of my first 'date'.

'Coming of Age' in 1960s NZ. My father's younger brother advised and mentored me through adolescence and young manhood. This is the story of my emotional exploration and sexual adventures with my second date and first girlfriend. With Frank's help and a measure of dumb luck I managed the transition between fumbling ignorance and juicy connection, and learned lessons that I still find valuable nearly sixty years later.
