"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.
