My Wrestling Match With Susan By Jerry, BSM16@hotmail.com A beach touch football game leads to a heated wrestling match Prologue I am an English teacher in my town's high school which is located in a Miami suburb. We recently had a 10th grade class outing at a local beach resort as the school year was winding down. From the boardwalk, I witnessed some of the boys and girls having a good time on the beach front. This was the age (mostly 16 year-olds) when the bodies began to show changes as adulthood approached and boys and girls began to separate as far as physical attributes were concerned. I was watching a group of 3 boys and 3 girls play wrestling against each other and noticed that one of the girls had defeated one of the boys as the others were cheering and laughing. This brought me back to a day in my own youth when I was that poor lad on the bottom, but nevertheless it was an exhilarating experience which I will never forget as I recount my story. At the Beach It was a hot July day about 30 years ago when I just turned 17 years of age, as Billy, Sid and I went to the local beach to go swimming and enjoy the sun. We had just graduated from 10th grade. We brought blankets and packed away lunches and various items like a frisbee, a football and a volleyball. Coincidentally, three girls from our class were nearby and we asked them if we could join them, and they agreed. We brought our stuff over to where they set up and we sat around talking for a while. We boys were all about the same size and weight as each other, about 5'5" to 5'7'' and 130 to 140lbs. None of us showed much in physical maturity as we all had slender, boyish figures without much, if any muscularity. In other words, we were typical mid-teenage boys as our bodies did not begin to "fill-out" yet. The girls, Susan, Janie and Linda, on the other hand had begun to mature as their figures showed significant breast development and "curves" appeared in the right places as their hips and behinds were wider than their waistlines which were narrow. They also were relatively the same as us in height and weight. This was before the time of body building, health spas, weight lifting, steroids and the like, so not a one of us looked like an Olympic athlete. There was no shame if boys had no muscles to speak of, thankfully. We soon started a friendly touch football game, boys against the girls. Billy was the quarterback as Sid and I went out for passes. We were guarded by Linda and Susan, respectively. I caught a deep pass as Susan could not quite keep up with my speed on the play. She playfully pushed me after I scored and told me that that was the last pass I would catch the rest of the game. I laughed and she smiled. Now the girls were on offense. Janie played quarterback and I guarded Susan as Billy guarded Linda. Susan did a stop and go pattern and I had fallen for the stop move, Janie threw a beautiful pass as Susan caught the ball, but had to stop for it allowing me to catch up to her. She gave me a fake and I lunged for her but missed as she scored the tying touchdown. I smiled admirably as she reciprocated. The game continued and the score was tied at 3 touchdowns for each team. The girls were surprisingly good athletes. It was now our ball. Billy threw me a short pass on the sideline that was not thrown that well. Susan, who was still guarding me, and I arrived at the ball at the same time and both of us got our hands on it. We both yanked at it trying to tear it away from each other. Susan won the tug of war, as she pulled the ball from me and began to run with the interception and I fell to the ground in a futile attempt to tag her. Susan outran Billy to the end zone to win the game for the girls. We went back to our beach blankets to grab a soda from the cooler. We had a good-natured heated discussion of the game as we demanded a rematch. The girls said they would but did not feel like "beating" us again as our egos couldn't handle a second loss in one day. Then Susan said, and I'll never forget this, "Hey Jerry, how did it feel for a big man like you to let a little girl pull the ball right out of your arms and cost your team the game". My response was the typical boy versus girl, "I didn't pull as hard as I could because I didn't want to hurt you". The two boys in unison said "Yea". The girls said we were full of it. I said "tell you what Susan, let's wrestle and see how tough you are". I really didn't expect her to jump up and say "let's do it big man!" We both stood up facing each other. I was dressed in my blue bathing suit and Susan was wearing a one-piece black bathing suit. The others gathered around and started rooting. I now had to defend my (and the other boys) honor. Susan was the largest of the girls as we were virtually the same size weighing about 130 lbs. but I still had an inch on her as I was 5'6" to her 5'5. We grabbed each other's hands and both of us began to exert pressure. She and I strained to get an advantage for a few seconds and, surprisingly, my wrists were being turned backwards. I was able to push her off to try another tactic. The guys were riding me and telling me to stop fooling around. The girls were egging Susan on to flatten me. I tried to tackle her low and as I grabbed her she got me in a headlock. She started to squeeze very hard as my face apparently was turning red. The girls were laughing as Susan was walking with me in a circle. I could not break her grip no matter how hard I strained to separate her arms from my head. I felt that I was getting tired and was losing strength. I think Susan felt my decreasing resistance and finally forced me down in the sand on my back. She finally released my head and grabbed by hands as she straddled me. She pinned my arms down and asked me if I give up. I wasn't smiling anymore as I was being embarrassed and tried to gather one last effort to push her off me and reverse the situation. I took a deep breath and pushed as hard as I could, but amazingly Susan must have sensed my desperation and increased her force on my arms and I failed to budge her. She asked me again if I give up. My buddies were pleading with me to do something as the girls continued to cheer Susan on. I realized that Susan was stronger than me and I was too exhausted to mount another counter measure. I was pinned fair and square and I submitted to Susan. She smiled down on me and told me that anytime I wanted a rematch she would gladly give it to me. Then, while still sitting on me, she flexed her biceps, and although her arms were not thin, they did not show any noticeable bulges at all. After she let me up, I re-joined my friends who had smirks on their faces. I told them that they shouldn't be such wise guys as Susan or maybe the other girls could do the same to them. The wrestling tournament was over as my buddies probably thought better of risking their reputations as I already lost mine. We continued to have a good time, however, as the day went on. The last thing I did, however was to ask Susan out for a date as I was now very much attracted to her. She kindly agreed to go out with me and the date was set for the coming Friday. That evening as I was about to take my shower, I posed in front of the mirror and did the biceps pose. I had no sign of any muscle in either arm. Thinking back to events of the day, I realized that her arms were significantly larger than mine, and that could explain how I lost our match so easily. As a matter of fact, I recalled that recently Billy and I were fooling around in his yard and I "beat" him in a fun wrestling match by pinning his arms to the ground after a good struggle. So if he ever made fun of me about what happened today, I'll remind him that even though Susan is stronger than me, I was stronger than him, and therefore, she could beat him too. My Date With Susan I met Susan at her house early Friday evening. It was extremely warm that evening. I was dressed in a dark blue tank top and jeans. Since we both lived right in town, we didn't need a car to do what we wanted to do. I figured to take her to the movies and a get something to eat at the local hamburger and ice cream stand. Susan opened the door and I noted that she was nicely dressed in a tight, black sleeveless turtle neck top which accentuated her nice breasts, a short red skirt and high heeled black sandals. She was taller than me by a couple of inches as a result of her high heels and I thought she looked slim, sleek and quite sexy. Suddenly, I am noticing girls bodies as I never did before. We walked into town holding hands. I felt a warm passion as we got on line to the movies. Susan and I were talking of all the things we did during the summer so far when we got around to the subject of our wrestling match. She told me that our wrestling match was the first time she ever did anything like that with a boy. She said she always thought I was cute and said that I had turned her on (as she did me) during our beach match. She didn't know that she was strong enough to beat me and the match surprised her as much as it did me. She never trained beyond the requirements of our middle and high school physical education classes, nor did I. We both agreed that since girls mature physically before boys do that this was obviously why she now has a strength advantage over me and I had nothing to be ashamed of. I told her smartly "who was I to argue". She noted my thin arms and compared them to hers and noted that, even unflexed, hers were about one to two inches larger than mine were, but by this same time next year, I would probably dwarf hers in comparison. I didn't say anything, but thought that I sure hoped that was true. In the movie theatre, I put my arm around her shoulder as boys always try to do. She didn't resist. In fact, She leaned towards me and placed her head on my shoulder. This was my first experience with a girl in a theatre and was liking it very much. In the middle of the movie she turned her face to me and kissed me softly on the lips. This was getting to be great evening. We went to get a bite and sat in a booth and talked some more. It was now about 10:00 and she asked me to walk her home. I tried to put my arm around her shoulder as we walked, but found it to be too awkward because of her height, so we switched roles. She put her arm around my shoulder and I held her waist and we walked all the way to her house that way. It felt weird, but great. When we arrived at her door, she asked me to come inside for a bit and I, not wanting this night to ever end, complied. I noticed that no one was home when Susan coincidentally mentioned that her parents were away for the weekend. I (silently) cheered loudly. Susan brought us both some sodas and we sat on the couch and talked some more. She then asked me (as I secretly hoped she would) if I wanted that rematch now. I acted like I would if it would please her and she smiled knowing that I wanted to as much as she did. We squared off face to face in the clothes we were wearing. It was appropriate that Susan was "bigger" than me as she was the obvious favorite to win our rematch. We locked hands and began our match. Her height gave her good leverage and she forced me to my knees as I was losing already. She then continued her push until I was flat on my back and she pinned me in less than 20 seconds. She asked me if I give up and I did so knowing that she was so much stronger than me that I really could not compete with her from this position. She realized the same thing and offered to give me a handicap for the next round. She allowed me to begin in a straddle position with my arms pinning hers. She said all I have to do is count to 3 slowly and I would win the round. I told her that it wasn't fair to her in that if I was in that position, I felt that I could hold her down as all my weight would be behind me. She wanted to try it anyway so we got into our positions. I began to count and hit two as she lifted her right arm and forced me over on my side as she picked herself up and totally reversed our starting position and pinned me again. She was smiling and said "you really are a weakling aren't you?" I couldn't argue with this fact and said "I suppose I am. Now would you please let me up." She refused and brought her face down and began kissing me passionately. Our tongues were touching and feelings I never had were happening quickly. She released my arms and we embraced and started to feel each other all over our bodies. I caressed her breasts under her top and she was massaging my privates as well. Needless to say, this was my "coming out party". I don't know if it were Susan's first time as well, but she sure appeared to know what she was doing. We made love until very late that night when I finally kissed my new girlfriend good night. Epilogue Susan and I continued to see each other as boy and girlfriend right through college and the first two years of our working lives. At that point, we became ex-boyfriend and girlfriend as we were married. Our marriage was strengthened with the births of our three children over the next five years. I would bet that our kids would get a real kick out of knowing that their parents got together only because their mom could beat up their dad without even trying all of those years ago. We continued to wrestle occasionally through the years and, as expected, my physique naturally matured where I outweighed my dear Susan by about 25 lbs and obtained the missing muscles of my youth whereby I began to win almost all of our matches from the age of 19 on (Susan would win occasionally if she got back to the position of straddling me and pinning my arms, as she still had very strong arms and could overpower me with all of her weight behind her). We both have a good laugh now and then as we remember who was champ of our wrestling empire first.
