Touched by a Carny

I want to hear more stories about people's experiences with carnies and the circus world in general. TIA.

My sister dated a carny for a few weeks. He was a trash, greasy, sleazy conman who dealt drugs on the side.

And back in high school, I worked a part time job with a woman who was a circus clown during summer months. For someone working in such a fun-oriented job, she was extremely serious during off hours. Also, I learned that clowns really love to party and use copious amounts of illicit substances.

About 20 years ago there was a very nice gloryhole at our local fairgrounds. I liked to wander over the day before the fair officially opened, when the carnies were setting up the rides and booths. I would sit at the gloryhole for two or three hours. It was as if the guys were standing in line waiting to be serviced. They didn't even bother pretending to use the bathroom. The walked into the stall, dropped their pants, and shook their cocks at the hole. I signaled for them to put their cocks through and then I'd gobbled them down. I loved sucking their cocks and swallowing their hot loads. Alas, they remodeled the restrooms and put up those damned metal partitions. They also put up those awful "cruise controls" between urinals. I hate those things.

I knew a girl in high school who used to bring home carnies to piss off her mother. When her parents would have people over for dinner, she'd march in the front door with a greasy, tattooed carny in tow. She'd take him upstairs, lock the door and wait for her mother to explode. She was just a wee bit of an attention whore, you see

I decided to take a year off between high school and college to "find myself." Of course, I needed to find a full time job, according to my mother.

So, I found an ad in the paper for summer workers, traveling around the East Coast running games for a pretty well-known carnival company.

The interview was in a room at the Holiday Inn in my hometown. I knocked on the door, and a guy in a suit answered. There was another guy shirtless in the bathroom brushing his teeth. The guy in the suit told me to sit down and fill out an application. He started cleaning off the table that was covered with old styrofoam take out containers and full ashtrays. And then he said, "Well, if you can't read or write, I can just ask you the questions....get comfortable. You seem like a cool guy"

Creeped me out, so I left.

Started filling out college applications the next day.

I was touched by a carny when I was about 13. He was working on some "house of mirrors" thing, and as I came up to him, he asked, "Do you fuck girls yet?" "No" I replied. "What about boys?" "Boys, well, maybe...NO!"

Then he put his hand on my butt, and said, "I get it. The boys are gonna fuck you." Then I ran away, strangely turned on.

Turns out, he was right.

When I was in high school I used to work at an amusement park. I did almost any job imaginable there %E2%80%93 worked the entrance, worked the rides, sold food and drinks and even worked in a giant dolphin costume. That was the lowest point, by far. I was sweating buckets in that thing and was beaten up by kids and chased away by parents because their babies would got scared and start to cry.%0D %0D I did love the mornings, before people arrived. I loved to walk around and listen to the old rides cracking and huffing as they woke up. It felt pretty good when the day was done, as well. It was amazing how silent it all of sudden became once people left and the machines stopped.

I don't have any titillating or tawdry carny stories to tell, but there were dozens of carnivals ever summertime across the city when I was growing up. Most were sponsored by local catholic schools/churches. An odd memory I recall was that when I got older, the games of chance prize offerings were no longer limited to just cheaply made stuffed animals and other cutesy, and goofy novelties. Believe it or not, you could have won a roach clip with colorful ostrich and peacock feathers tethered to a suede strap, or if not that, there was a wide array of silk screened mirror tiles of mainly rock band logos that were framed in cardboard (read: coke mirrors) either large (12"X 12") or small (5"X 5"). I guess you can attribute that scenario to a combination of things, i.e. cool carny freaks in charge of prize procuring, the naive cluelessness or tolerance on the part of the local diocese, and the war on drugs hadn't kicked in yet.

I friend of mine sort of ran away from home at 37 and worked for Big Apple in some sort of food service as they toured. But really he became the circus bootlegger/drug dealer. Apparently, they often stop rather far outside of towns and in too many dry counties to count and everyone has substance abuse problems and circus people resent being called "carnies" because the circus is somehow better than a carnival.

I've dated two carnies in my life, and had crushes on four in total, probably more but I'm just guessing.

I'm still close friends with the first carny I was with, love him to pieces. People think carnies are all bad, but they really are not. The friends I made hanging around carnivals were the friends that stayed.

There was a traveling carnival that stopped in my town a few years ago. One warm Sunday I decided to go by myself, as my partner was in Phoenix with his parents. I was a little tipsy from the three bottles of wine I had drank and I needed to use a restroom. I walked up to one of the big strapping carnival workers and asked him if he knew where a bathroom was...he motioned for me to follow him into a tent.

It was a decision that would change my life....because he...he...he RAPED me.

When I was 16 I ran away from my abusive/drunk mother. Went to a carnival with my best friend and had fun. Went to play a game and I couldn't help but notice the attractive, 50 something year old, trashy, gravely voiced carny working the game. I wound up telling him my life's story. The carnival came back to town this year. I went to go see him today actually. He remembered me and called me "The Runaway" which I thought suited me. He has my phone number now. He was supposed to call me or text me around when he got off which was ten...its 1 now. That cheeky bastard!

We were so naïve it was almost thrilling in an appalling, creepy, and disgusting way. We backed away and left.

One of them was apearanrly the best sex of her life. They were all so crazy. We took them all over and tried our best to show them america the way we see it.

I sucked him off and made him come twice. The 1st load took 2 minutes the 2nd load took 17 minutes (I filmed the whole thing) we were both sweaty by the end and he was shaking. As he was pulling up his pants he said "I understand now why some guys are gay." We were supposed to hook up again before the fair moved on but when I went to pick him up he wasn't where he said he would be. At least I have the video.

At age 16 I ran away from home and traveled all over the country,(never had a problem and never had anyone try to exploit me,of course this was the 70s).Long story short,I was in Olympia Washington and there was a carnival setting up,and the girl who ran the corn dog stand(her name was Becky) loved me to death so she would pay me to watch her kids while her and her old man worked.She,her husband,2 kids and their room mate lived in a TINY travel trailer but offered me a place to crash wich I gratefully accepted.The roommie was named Fred,mid 20s with dark hair and a fu manchu and I was mad for him from the git go! There was a park with showers next to the carnival,so Fred asked me if I wanted to get cleaned up after the carnival shut down for the night,and I rapidly agreed! We got in there and were the only ones,and it wasnt very long before we were getting it on like bandits!That started an INTENSE 2 week love affair,everyone knew it and no one judged us.hell,we used to lay on the floor in that tiny trailer and fuck all night!After the kids were asleep,of course.When it was time to move on they were heading back to florida(my home state) and I was petrified to go back there as I was a runaway, so we parted ways.Fred BEGGED me to go with them,and to this day one of my biggest life regrets is that I didnt. That being said,there were some hot numbers but the majority were drug addicted and had hideous hygene,and most were running from the law. I hadnt thought about all this in years,thanks for the thread!

There was sexy, built guy with clown makeup on. He was in that tank where you would throw a ball, hit the target, and he would get dunked into a big tank of water.

His timbre of his voice was mesmerizing.

"High and dry", he'd tease time and time again. "High and dry."

I had smoked some dy-no-mite pot before I went to the festival (which was the Jamabalaya Festival outside of New Orleans). The pot was so good---I thought he was speaking to me. Teasing me. Wanting me.

I couldn't leave that amusement. I just watched him and watched him--his muscles and teasing, demanding voice.

When he took a break, I went over and told him how much fun it was to watch and to listen to him and would he like to smoke some pot that was fucking guaranteed to blow his mind before he went back to his hot seat.

We went back to his trailer that he shared and got totally fucked up. He figured I was gay and began rubbing his hairy leg against mine and laughing. I hit the floor and buried my face in his crotch and he pulled his pants down for me to suck him.

So sexy. So young and muscular---and his voice haunts me to this day.

One of my mother's best friends from her school years came from a famous circus family. Her father was a very famous lion tamer and her mother owned a troop of elephants. Her parents divorced when she was very young and she lived with her grandmother in my mom's hometown when school was in session.

Her life has been fascinating. She worked as a circus performer and stunt woman in movies and at Disneyland, and later married a circus owner (she lost her mom's elephants in the eventual divorce). Her elephants also appeared several times on Circus With the Stars back in the 80's. When I was a kid, we would get to go backstage - which was often as as hubby's circus was usually engaged by the local Shrine Circus and my mom would ride an elephant in the opening parade all dressed up in showgirl finery.

This woman now lives on the little Texas farm where her mother once kept the elephants in the off season, and her nephews still own a travelling one ring circus that tours county fairs in the summer. Needless to say, this woman has hours of amazing stories to tell.

I was fascinated with the carnival that would come to our small town each year. I'd go down most days to walk around, go on some rides and buy snacks. The guy who worked the Tilt-A-Whirl was pretty hot, as far as I knew at the time and really friendly.

On the last day of the carnival they were closing it down and packing up the rides. That evening I went down to see how that all worked. The guy who ran the Tilt-A-Whirl was standing there in the blinking lights and lots of noise around. He was talking about carny life to me and then pulled down his zipper and whipped out the biggest cock I'd ever seen. He wasn't embarrassed at all as he was a carny.

He was talking to me nonstop as he pissed out and then milked it so I could get a good look.

I don't know about "touched by a carny", but if you are into carnivals and

carnies, then you have to watch Carnivale, on HBO, which is a 2 season

TV series about a carnival traveling the "dust bowl" in the mid 1930's.

The show cost 5 million per episode to produce and is super high

quality, and HBO cancelled the program because of the high cost.

I just got done watching both seasons, and Ben is my favorite carny

on the show. I am going to re-watch all of both seasons as the

story line is complex.

This is kind of long but not made up!

I was in 8th or 9th grade, so 13 or 14, in the late 70s, and the annual carnival came to town for 5 days. It was just rides, games and food in a mall parking lot a block from my house, so I was there every day. On the next to last day one of the ride ops asked if I wanted to make some money, and he said he'd pay me $25 to clean up all of the trash on the ground. That was a lot of money for a kid back then, so I said sure! I came back later that night when he told me to, and I followed him to his tent and he gave me some gloves and things to pick up the trash.

About an hour later I was finished, and I followed him back to his tent again, only this time we went inside. I put my gloves and things where he told me to and he paid me. Then he asked if I wanted to come back tomorrow and do it again. $50 in one weekend!! I was so excited!

Then he asked if I wanted a joint and did I get high. I had only done it twice at that point, but I knew what it was like, so I said yes. So we got high, and after asking me a bunch of questions - you got a gf (no),, have you had sex yet (no), ever jacked off with any of your friends (yes), ever jacked off with anyone older (no), how often do you jack off (everyday), he asked if I wanted to jack off with him. I didn't say anything, so he said it's okay, then asked me again. I still didn't say anything, then he rubbed my crotch. I got instantly hard, and he said "you must want to." Then he unzipped my pants and felt my cock, and I came in about ten seconds. Then he put his finger in his mouth and went "mmm." To this day it was one of the hottest experiences of my life. I got up enough nerve to feel the outside of his crotch, then we kissed for a long time while I reached inside and felt his cock. I started to undo his jeans, but he pulled away and said we'd better stop. Then he said come back tomorrow and we'll do it again.

He was somewhere around 30 and not good looking in a classic way, but there was something about his manner that put me at ease, and I thought he was VERY sexy.

I went home and jacked off twice that night thinking about it (and again every day for months after they were long gone).

I went back the next day and he was totally cool, he smiled and winked at me and told me to come get him when I was finished. I did, and we went back to his tent, he paid me and rubbed my crotch again and we started kissing.. We didn't get high. This time we both sucked each other off, him first and then me. Again it took me about 30 seconds, and it didn't take him much longer. He had a nice cock, normal sized and very red and throbbing, which really turned me on! And it was thrilling to be with an older man. Until then I had only fooled around with guys my own age. So I loved being with someone who had a beard and a man's body. We only spent about 5 min in there because he told the guy who covered for him that he'd be right back, but it was 5 of the most thrilling minutes of my life.

I didn't even think about the fact that I was a minor, and I still don't. All I think about is how exciting it was. I was hoping he would come back the next year, but they didn't come back at all, that was the last year we had that little carnival at the mall.

I never worked at a carnival (nor did I have any carny encounters), but I remember these, R28! My sister & her friends used the decorated roach clips as hair or bag accessories, and many folks also chose those mirrors as prizes. They were typically emblazoned with beer brand logos, band names/logos, The Playboy Bunny, etc, and hung in the bedrooms of the teens who won them.

Wow, that brings back memories.

When I was in college, I waited on tables during the summer when I was back home. There was a fellow waiter who worked at the restaurant year round. He was gay and in his late 30s. We'd often all go out drinking at the end of a dinner shift. It was a great group of people and most were career waiters and waitresses with a couple like me who were in college and would fill in during the busier summer months. My waiter friend used to tell the best stories of his teenage years and all the hooking up he did. I was the exact opposite and didn't do anything until I got in college.

One of my favorite stories was he hooked up with a carny at our state fair which was held every year in our city. He said he was 15 at the time, which would have been early 1970s. He claimed the carny was really good looking. He said the carny was blond with his hairline starting to recede, in his late 30s, about 6'2, and he had a very hairy chest that he would show off by unbuttoning his shirts to his navel. My friend said the carny reminded him of Corbin Bernsen from L.A. Law. The carny was manning some game and my friend kept playing it and flirting with the guy. As it got late and the crowd thinned out, he asked my friend if he wanted to come back to his motel on the outskirts of town. My friend called his mom and lied that he was going to stay over at a friend's house. Nobody checked up on you back then.

He said it was one of the best fucks he ever had in his life. He said the carny was about 8 inches, a top, and he knew what he was doing. He fucked my friend three times that night and once again in the morning. He said this same carny came back the next couple years and they hooked up again both times, but then he didn't see him again. We all were skeptical of a handsome carny. The carnies I saw at the fair when I was growing up were greasy, sleezy looking and acting guys, none of whom were even remotely good looking.

Between my junior and senior year in college, I decided to take a year off. For the first time in about 3 years, I was home for the state fair. I stayed at the restaurant and worked there during my year off. Well, my friend tells me the carny is back and I should go check him out. He was working a certain game according to my friend. One night, I and a couple of the waitresses decided to go see this carny. When we got to the game the carny was manning, we were shocked. He was close to 20 years older, so late 50s, but there stood this still handsome guy. His hairline had receded, but he was still wearing his shirt open and the mass of chest hair was exposed. He had a mustache and did indeed remind me of Corben Bernsen.

We played the game a few times and he hit on me. I knew he liked them younger. I was 21 but in true DL fashion, I looked 16. I got carded everywhere I went at that time. I was even thrown out of one bar because the owner thought my license was fake. I declined to go with this guy. I was never much for casual sex, plus it was the height of the AIDS era. I was very careful during that time and hardly got laid at all. I did jerk off to thoughts of the carny fucking me many, many times. And to this day he was the only handsome carny I ever saw.

I guess I was about 10 or 12 at a local fair and there was this older kid about 20 working one of the rides. His image is forever seared into my memory as I realized my truth (God that sounds dramatic as hell!). Anyway, he had a full head of shaggy blonde hair, a small upturned nose, and large eyes. The short-sleeved shirt he was wearing was unbuttoned and as the ride (a Tilt a Whirl or something) spun by it would blow his shirt back (I guess he was keeping cool). I can distinctly remember his wide, well-formed chest and large areola nipples.

All these years later I can still see him in my mind. Fuck, I might as well go die in Venice or something.

Worked as a manager in a run down old hotel and had several fair workers staying there one time. The fair in Jax Fl is a huge deal every year. Anyway,most of them paid their rent but this one room kept dodging me . I usually got to work at 9 but one morning I went in at 730 specifically so I could catch those guys. I go up,knock on their door and one guy opens it. I tell him who I am and why Im there,and he says I have to talk to his roomie as he handled the money. I told him that I would if I even knew who he was (I didnt check them in) and he steps back,opens the door and I see another guy laying on the bed covered in a thin sheet. That sheet was so thin you could see he was obviously naked,obviously hairy and obviously hung. The other dudes hurriedly makes an excuse and departs.Im standing there talking to this naked guy,and he gets a sly smile on his face,reaches down and starts caressing his (big!) dick and asks me if theres anything he can do in lieu of rent.

I had made it a point to never get involved with a tenant as they usually were the bottom of the barrel of society ,plus most werent particularly hot.Face wise this guy wasnt either,missing a few teeth,etc,but damn his body was nice and that cock (by this point fully erect) had to have been a good 7 inches of fat man meat so I thought to myself "oh what the hell" as the fair was leaving in a few days. I smile and tell him we could work something out,and he slowly slides the sheet down. That chest was heaven ! A mat of brown hair,as was his stomach and he had a huge bush to boot. I immediately get between his legs and start lustily sucking that dick.After a few minute he moans "Im getting close" and I pull off and said "oh no honey,you still have work to do" and jump off the bed,shuck my clothes and get back on the bed. We had no lube so I told him he'd have to use spit and go slow.

He works it in,and proceeds to give me one of the best fucks I ever had . His stamina was amazing,and when he shot I swear I could feel it inside. He was a moaner too,always a pleasure to hear. After he finishes,I lay there for a second,get up,go into the bathroom and clean up and tell him rent was paid but I sure wouldnt mind another round. he grins ,says "hell yeah" and I leave. The next day he and his roomie get arrested,I know not what for,and I never saw him again. Wich was a pity,because I had already planned on having his roomie join in !
