"I have had lots of women, but do not care for them, for they do not
make half so much of us as gentlemen do, although of course they always
pay us. You can easily imagine it is not so agreable to spend
half-an-hour with a housemaid, when one has been caressed all night by a
nobleman.
"This is the experience of all the men of my regiment, and I know it is
the same in the First, The Blues, and every regiment of Foot Guards.
"When a young fellow joins, someone of us breaks him in and teaches him
the trick; but there is very little need of that, for it seems to come
naturally to almost every young man, so few have escaped the
demoralization of schools or crowded homes. We then have no difficulty
in passing him onto some gentleman, who always, pays us liberally for
getting a fresh young thing for him.
"Although of course we all do it for money, we also do it because we
really like it, and if gentlemen gave us no money, I think we should do
it all the same.
"Many of us were married; but that makes no difference. All we have to
do is not to let the gentlemen know it, because married men are not in
request.
"So far as I can see all the best gentlemen in London like running after
soldiers, and I have letters from some of the very highest in the land.
One gentleman, a nobleman, had me once in his own house, in the room
next to his wife's boudoir. I heard her laughing, and talking, or
playing on the piano, whilst her husband was on his knees before me,
sucking my prick.
"We both laughed about it afterwards, especially when I asked him if he
thought her ladyship would not like a dose from the same bottle?
"On one occasion five of us went with one gentlemen and acted with him
or with one another for him to see, every kind of buggery, frigging and
gamahuching. It was a luscious scene, just such as you will see
to-night, my dear," he said, squeezing my stiff prick outside my
trousers. "But wait till then; don't let my talk make you randy," he
continued.
"That gentlemen was a clergyman, and one of the most liberal friends I
ever had."
"Young fellows are quite as much after us as older men. I have often
been fucked by young gentlemen of sixteen or seventeen, and at Windsor
lots of the Eton boys come after us.
"I know two men in The Blues who are regularly kept by gentlemen, and
one has an allowance of two hundred a year for allowing himself to be
sucked.
"There are lots of houses in London for it. I will give you a list some
day, where only soldiers are received, and where gentlemen can sleep
with them. The best known is now closed. It was the tobacconist's shop
next door to Albany Street Barraks, Regent's Park, and was kept by a
Mrs. Truman. The old lady would receive orders from gentlemen, and then
let us know. That is all over now, but there are still six houses in
London that I know of. Inslip's Club, however, pays me best, so I am
very little known elsewhere at present."
