Every year that goes by, I keep thinking these things will never happen again. But they keep happening.

Swiped right on a girl, flirted for a few days, escalated.

I’ve lived long enough to not believe a planned Tinder hookup was happening until the very moment it happens. Too many flakes, too many ghosts.

But the other night, she sent her address. We set a time, 10:00, not absurdly late. I parked where she said to park, at her campus’s fire station. I walked to the entrance she said she’d be waiting at… and she came out to meet me: blonde, tan, chubby, a lot shorter than I’d assumed, probably 4’10”.

Walked in the dorm, a gorgeous older building. Took the elevator to the third floors. She seemed completely unconcerned about who saw her with a man her father’s age. A few minutes of small talk on her futon. Shared a few swigs of flat Diet Coke.

Once our legs started touching, it was on. Hands on legs. A kiss. Sweet enough, though in our Tinder messages it was clear she was ready to have her horizons expanded.

Five minutes later, she was topless and I was bottomless. She had a brand new tattoo between her saggy tits. But her hair was long and soft, her face was pretty enough, and I was starting to realize lightning had struck. Laying back on her futon, I propped up against a few pillows and huge stuffies. She was doing things to my cock that I hadn’t felt in years, maybe ever. Just absolutely soaked in spit. Not “a little slippery.” It was like copious layers of the perfect temperature and viscosity lube I could have ever imagined. No girl I’ve ever been with has made my cock so coated and kept it that way for so long. A total ball washer, too. Just licking them all over, licking my shaft, spitting on it, sucking it, gripping it. Over and over. One hand. The other hand. Both hands. Ten minutes went by. She did not show the first sign of wanting to change, or stop, or do anything else. Twenty minutes. Her throat took my tip in and made the most intense, erotic gulping and slurping sounds. I can’t believing I’m saying this, because she wasn’t super hot and that’s usually what I base this evaluation on: but it might have been the most intense, devoted head of my life.

Finally she asked permission to climb on top of me. She just rocked back and forth soaking my cock. When I slid inside her, I could not believe how tight she felt. Big-boned girl, teeny-tiny pussy. Fuck. I couldn’t believe it. Everything was just so intense. The dirty talk pretty immediately went to a level I can’t even describe on here without breaking multiple rules. There was just no end to her desire to be led, guided, brought into the darkness, and absolutely consumed.

About 90 minutes in, I couldn’t control myself anymore. She was on her back, playing with her nipples as I held her legs wide apart by the ankles. We had not even discussed birth control and I wasn’t using a condom. So I pulled out and she immediately gripped my cock and squeezed it as I came on her belly.

As she rubbed it into her flesh and licked her fingers one by one, I got on my knees and buried my face in her 20-year-old pussy and just licked and nibbled her clit until she pulsated. She grabbed one of the stuffies and humped upward rhythmically against my beard as she came.

She jumped in the shower and I stood in her bathroom and chatted with her. We kissed one more time and I got dressed and left. I was a little self-conscious but mostly triumphant as I walked past a few gaggles of college kids returning to their dorms. I couldn’t find the gate I was supposed to leave through, so I had to message her and she came down and let me out.

Then I went to Wawa and had a hoagie in their outdoor seating area on an uncharacteristically mild spring night.

I messaged her the next day and she replied. But by the next weekend, she’d unmatched me.

I was married, late twenties. Twelve nights in a 2.5-star extended stay off a big metro-area beltway. I’d enrolled in a graduate course in a city I’d never live in for a career I’d never end up pursuing. Days were lectures and bad coffee. Nights were microwave meals, porn on a laggy Wi-Fi connection, and the kind of masturbation that only deepens the ache.

By Thursday I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed a body to own.

This was during the high watermark of Craigslist Casual Encounters—before the spammers took over, before SESTA, before it all collapsed. Back then, if you could write a few halfway original posts and wait out the bots, you could do damage. You could hit above your weight. I had, more times than I can count.

She wasn’t on my list of stories until this week—until I remembered her face at a Starbucks and felt my whole body pause.

I’d posted three listings: one rough, one earnest, one somewhere in between. Most of the replies were either fat girls, gay men in disguise, or prostitutes trying to upsell their boredom. I was about to shut it down when her message came through.

She said she was off the next day, bored, and hungry.

I was suspicious—I’d heard stories about dinner whores and was in no mood to feed one. But her photos didn’t look fake. Almost too good to be true but not quite. And there was something cautious in her tone. It convinced me she didn’t normally do this. She asked to meet in public first, but agreed to swing by my hotel and ride with me to grab food.

She showed up forty minutes later, 5-star girl in an interstate La Quinta. Slender. Blonde. Twenty, maybe twenty-one. I still didn’t believe it. But she knocked on the door and smiled like it was nothing.

We went to some shithole chain—I don’t remember which. IHOP or Denny’s. She ordered food she barely touched. I ordered something I didn’t need. We made a few jokes, but there wasn’t much talking. The tension was a second skin. I touched her legs under the table. She never flinched.

Back at the room, I poured us drinks. Vodka and something from the fridge. She knelt between my legs when I told her to. Steady mouth, bright eyes, soft hands, slender fingers with natural nails—my weakness. I pulled her up before I came, undressed her slowly, asked how she felt. She said fine.

We took our time at first. She lay back, wet and willing. I rubbed her, kissed her, got a condom. She climbed on top and sank down with a nervous breath. We fucked for fifteen, maybe twenty minutes—eye contact the whole time. When I felt the edge creeping in, I pulled out, stripped the condom, and handed her the glass.

She drained it. Laid down. Put me in her mouth.

I asked what she liked. What she thought about.

She said: being taken hard.

So I took her hard.

Bent over the bed. Then on the round table by the window. Eventually slammed against the wall hard enough that the neighbors banged back.

The porn was inside her, a little too performative—but the screams were real. High, sharp, electric. Her body was so responsive it became theatrical, but her desperation wasn’t faked. She didn’t need to play freaky to earn the attention. She already had it.

When I felt myself getting close again, I told her to work for it.

I don’t fuck girls so I can finish myself.

She got back between my legs, working me with one hand while I rubbed her clit with mine. I timed it just right. Not perfect. But close. She gasped when it hit her. I pulled free and painted her cute, flat chest as she trembled.

She didn’t ask for a towel. She scooped it up and fed it to herself.

Afterward, we didn’t linger. She put her clothes back on and left within minutes. Not cold, not warm. Just understood.

I never learned where she lived. Never got her last name. Wouldn’t remember her first.

All I know is that she showed up. Obeyed. Took it. Left.

She was never mine.

Just unclaimed.

I had just moved—new condo, new coffee shop, new radius. The maps weren’t real yet. The days passed without architecture. I was eating drive-thru and scrolling Tinder in between assembling my furniture. Everything was provisional. So was I.

She matched me one night after midnight. Her photos were pretty. Not beautiful, but careful. Knowing. The kind of pretty that comes from filters and angles and lighting that understands its job. Twenty-four. A few years out of college. She said she liked old movies and good bourbon. She asked what I was reading. I sent her a picture of a stack beside my mattress on the floor. She sent a smiley face and said, “You’re dangerous.”

She showed up two nights later. Forty pounds heavier than her pictures. It wasn’t close. Her thighs strained against a pair of black leggings that had no business being worn in public, and her top—a too-tight cream sweater—rode up each time she raised her arms. Which she did often, nervously.

I didn’t say a word about the weight. I didn’t say much of anything at all.

Her face was pretty. Unfortunately it was the only part of her I wanted to fuck.

Obviously I didn’t say that. I knew how it would sound, even then. But I also knew what kind of man I was becoming—and I didn’t stop. It was a real character flaw: taking out my anger at myself for settling on the person I was settling with.

I was feeling generous. Or maybe not generous—just bored. And there’s a particular cruelty to bored men in new cities. I poured us drinks. Vodka something. She didn’t seem to care. She curled her feet under her on my new couch, laughed too loudly, and kept adjusting her bra strap. I let her talk for a while. Then I took her hand, stood her up, and walked her to my bedroom.

I didn’t kiss her. I didn’t undress her with care. I commanded her to kneel. She eagerly complied. She took me deep and was better than I expected her to be. But then she started taking her top off. I needed a way to not fuck her without being cruel. So I unhooked her bra and tried not to look at her fat, floppy tits. Not taking the cue, she continued finding ways to shove them in my face. Literally.

The lights were out and I was beyond caring. I laid her on her back. I took her leggings off so her fat wasn’t distributed so unflatteringly. She was already moaning. I licked and suck her nipple while I played with her clit until she came. She insisted on talking after that. So I leaned across her body and flicked my tongue over the other nipple, slowly feeling how slick her cunt was. I pushed her legs wide apart so I didn’t have to feel the pressure of her thick thighs on my hand. I tried to tune her out as she said how naughty she wanted to get for me. It was actually annoying. So I started finger fucking her and biting her nipple more roughly. All she could do was moan. By that point, she was ready to have her clit touched again, and within a few minutes she screamed out loud as she finished again.

I know she wanted sex but I was hoping her pussy was feeling worn out enough—or that I had done more than she expected somehow.

All I could think about was ending this. But she was already getting clingy and I needed some clarity. I told her to give me that mouth again. She laid back on my pillows and asked me to pin her down by the shoulders. I pressed my shins against her arm flab on either side of her tits. Then she took me into her mouth. The angle was bad, but I didn’t care. It felt good enough.

I laid down next to her and when she tried to climb on me to fuck, I pushed her head down and told her not to stop until I said so.

She seemed just the right mix of disappointed and happy to obey.

Afterward, I handed her a towel and said she could sleep there if she wanted. She left before sunrise. I didn’t expect to hear from her again.

But I did.

She messaged me two days later. Said she’d had fun. Asked if I wanted to meet her for a drink. I said sure. My other matches were flaking anyway. She picked the bar—some place with cheap drinks and wooden benches where she introduced me to a couple of her friends like we were a thing.

We weren’t.

I stayed a while. Nursed a beer. Played nice. But at the end of the night, I didn’t walk her to her car. I just stood on the sidewalk while she hovered. She asked if I was going home alone.

“Yeah,” I said. “Unless you want to be used again.”

She smiled like I was joking. I wasn’t.

Back at my place, I didn’t pretend to care. She stripped faster this time. She kept saying how tight she was, how much she wanted to make me feel good. I used her mouth, then threw her on her back. She bounced on top of me like she had something to prove. Said she didn’t give her ass unless it was her boyfriend.

I laughed a little too hard at that, and she noticed.

I hated that laugh the second it left my mouth. Not because it wasn’t true, but because it was.

I hadn’t asked about her ass. I just didn’t want to have to grab onto it its voluminous mass.

I turned her around, bent her over the foot of the bed, and pulled her leggings down. She made a small noise—surprise, not protest. I slid in from behind without a word, used her, came, and pulled out. Brought her a towel.

Then I wiped her legs, tossed the towel, and walked out of the room.

I think she let herself out. I didn’t check.

She wanted a boyfriend. I gave her a memory. Something she might confuse for being wanted, just long enough to forget that she wasn’t.

I’m not proud to say it wasn’t the first time I met up with a Tinder girl whose photos were all tits-and-above.

But it was the last time I let myself be disappointed. The fat ones I picked after that were designated for specific things I needed—and that they wanted to be needed for.

That sentence sounds uglier now than it felt then. But I’m not deleting it. I lived it.

In the week or two after that, I went on a couple boring dates with pretty locals. But I was back to going online more and more. It was around that time I met the Reddit girl in my thread entitled Fever. You’ve probably read about her. I still think about her a lot. This one was more than double the size; less than half remembered.

We met online—on one of those buried sex chat sites that felt more like confessionals than communities. Not an app. Not swipe-based. Just lines of text, one after another, full of need and rot.

It was the late 2010s, and I was still married. I hadn’t crossed over to dating apps yet. I didn’t want photos, profiles, receipts. Just secrets. And someone willing to disappear into one.

She was home from college, living in her family’s apartment on the far side of the metro area. I was in my late 30s. She said she had a boyfriend. Sweet. Safe. The kind of boy who worshipped her. But she wanted something else.

She told me she’d fantasized about being taken—violently, without care—for years. She didn’t want to be seduced. She didn’t want to be seen. She wanted to be used.

Once we realized we were close enough, we moved to another app. Built just enough trust to meet.

She said she’d be alone in the afternoons.

I said I’d come the next day.

I didn’t have a car, so I took the train, then a bus, then walked. It was summer. Thick heat, wet skin. I remember my shirt sticking to my chest.

She met me in the lobby—hands trembling, eyes wide, trying not to show it. She was shorter than I’d expected. Korean. Small. Long hair. Pretty in a quiet, private way. She could barely speak.

We sat for a moment in silence before I told her to get in the elevator.

When the doors closed, I put my hand lightly around her throat and said this was her last chance to change her mind.

She didn’t speak.

She moaned.

At the apartment, she unlocked the door and opened it slowly, as if trying to delay what was already inevitable. I pushed her through it.

The air inside was still. Her parents’ place. Corner unit. Clean and quiet.

She hit the wall hard but didn’t resist.

She didn’t cry out—just froze.

I told her what kind of girl I thought she was.

She dropped to her knees before I finished the sentence.

She couldn’t take much. Not with her mouth. She gagged too easily, tensed too much. She wasn’t trained. So I pulled her to her feet and moved her to the space between the couch and the dining table.

Told her to undress.

She hesitated, then obeyed.

She looked younger like that—bare, fragile, crying softly. I positioned her over the arm of the couch and opened her legs. She was soaked.

When she asked if I was going to use a condom, I laughed.

I used her slowly at first. Deep. Unrelenting. She cried, but her hands moved to her chest—fingertips grazing her nipples. I told her to touch herself more. To admit what she was.

Eventually, she did.

Later, in her bedroom, she got smaller again. Her panic came back. Her glasses fell off. Her voice cracked.

I slowed things down just enough to keep her inside the story she’d begged for.

It wasn’t about punishment anymore.

It was about watching someone realize that her body could survive the thing she’d always dreamed of.

We rolled. I made her ride me. I pulled her hair. I used her throat again—harder this time, but not to the point of real damage.

There was one moment—maybe ten minutes before I left—where she looked up at me from the floor with spit on her chin, tears dried at the edges of her mouth, and I thought:

She doesn’t even know if she hates me yet. But she will.

At the very end, I crossed a line. Not physically. Something worse.

*Something that can’t be undone by safe words or silence.*

Something symbolic. Territory-marking. Degrading bordering on dehumanizing.

Something that made her cry in a different way—low, shaking, ashamed.

I cleaned up. Got dressed. Told her she did well.

She stayed in the bed, curled up, glasses cracked beneath a pillow.

She didn’t walk me out. She just stared at the ceiling like something had been knocked loose and she wasn’t sure if she’d ever want it put back.

A few months later, I checked in. She didn’t reply.

A few years after that, she did.

Said she thought about it more than she expected to.

Said she wasn’t sure if she ever wanted to feel that way again.
