My most arduous sexual experience

I've been having fun taking story ideas from an ALT friend for an erotic story. I should be re-writing that, but I need a break. So I'm goofing off in order to share a personal true story. Don't expect to be aroused. I wasn't. And that brings us to today's topic: can a man still get an erection during bad sex? I found out that the answer is yes.

Back when I was in the Army I was stationed in Germany. I was being deployed all the time and with practically no notice. Consequently, it was impossible to plan much travel around Europe. I just never knew if my deposit on travel tickets was going to be lost because of another last minute mission to Bosnia or not.
But I got an opportunity to take a weekend bus trip to Paris, France. My wife and I were very excited. I grew up speaking French and I'm very fluent and wanted to practice. We both looked forward to getting a guided tour of the romantic City of Lights. But we ended up participating in what I can only describe as a tourist death march. (As in: "If it's 7:50PM, it must be the Moulin Rouge.")

Loaded onto a giant tour bus Friday night, we slept in our seats and woke up with stiff necks the next morning in Paris. Then it was a series of lightning visits to all the major sites of the city. But there was so much to see that it became ridiculous. Our able, amusing and flamboyantly gay German tour guide, Franz, would announce things like: "next stop the Louvre museum. Dear people, you have 45 minutes to fit in lunch and a visit to the exhibition halls." If you've ever been, you know that it can take 2 days to enjoy all the art in the Louvre. 45 minutes is patently ludicrous. And yet we kept up this relentless pace all day and into the night. And since Saturday was New Years we didn't crawl back to our hotel at the outskirts of Paris until 3:00AM. I was exhausted.
