I discovered my power by accident. I wouldn't call it a super-power, but it did come to form my self-identity. I also discovered my power could also be my weakness.
Let me start at the beginning.
I was hanging out at a friend's pool with a bunch of my high school friends. I wore my new two-piece, which was not sexy or all that revealing. What it had, though, was a stiff bra. So when I leaned forward, the material did not cling to my chest, but produced a gap. A gap I was completely unaware of.
We were having a good time and the guys seemed friendlier than usual. They were talking to me and laughing at all my jokes. After a bit, I went inside to use the bathroom and my best friend Lisa followed me.
"Having a good time?" she asked.
"Great. I even had Brad talking with me. God, I'm usually invisible to him."
"And you know why he's hanging around you, Gretchen?"
"I don't know. 'Cause we're like friends?"
"No, Brad and every other guy here are getting a boob flash every time you lean forward or bend over."
My heart sunk into my stomach.
"What?"
Lisa dragged me into the bathroom and positioned me in front of the full-length mirror.
"Bend over and look."
I bent from the waist and looked at my reflection. I saw my both my small boobs, nipples and all.
"Shit," I said and sat on the toilet.
"So, Miss Popularity, what do you think now?"
"God, I am so naïve, Lisa," I moaned. "I never had a clue. You mean all those guys saw my bare tits?"
"Why do you think they've all had tents in their pants?"
"You mean they're..."
"Yep, stiff as a board."
I put my head and my hands and rocked back and forth. To think all the guys were erect standing next to me and I never even noticed.
"I cannot go back out there."
Lisa stroked my hair. "Yes, you can and you will. You will go out like nothing has happened. You will be the funny and happy Gretchen. But, you will not flash them again."
Lisa paused to make sure I was looking at her.
"Of course, unless you want to."
"Why would I want those guys to see my tits?"
"Gretchen, did I not tell you that you had these guys turned on? That's power, girl. So use it, but at least know when you're using it."
Lisa and I took turns peeing. On the way out I grabbed my tee shirt and pulled it on.
She was right my jokes were a lot less funny and I demanded much less attention than just a couple minutes ago.
First lesson of power learned. I could affect how guys behaved by using my body. A seed now planted in my psyche began to grow. I didn't know then, but it was to become a living thing that drove my life, at least my sexual life.
Later that night, I was in bed thinking about the afternoon. I was feeling sorry for myself. The guys in my class saw my naked tits. How embarrassing I thought. As I was replaying the scenes in my mind, I slipped my hand inside my panties. I touched my clit and felt a jolt. I explored a little deeper and discovered lots of moisture. I was not that naïve not to know I was seriously turned on. I moved my fingers in a familiar rhythm and had to put a pillow over my face to muffle the scream from the intensive orgasm. I realized I was turned on by letting guys see part of me naked.
Second learned lesson about power. Showing yourself can turn on those looking and also turn me on big time. I trace my love affair with exhibitionism to that afternoon. As with any budding love affair, it took time to bring it full bloom.
Freshman year at college was a fertile time for growth.
Calling on a gene pool populated by my mother's side, my small boobs developed into ones that moved me a little, but not much, beyond what Lisa used to call my "titlets". I added to their allure by always choosing tops that accented what nature gave me. My mother helped me pick clothes that showcased what I wanted people to notice.
After settling in my dorm on the first day, I kissed my parents good-bye and tingled with the anticipation of being on my own for the first time. I walked around campus taking in the activities and excitement of young people like me stepping into a new world. I arrived back at my dorm to find my roommate hugging her parents as they were leaving.
"Hi, I'm Gretchen," I said.
"Morgan."
We spent the next hour sharing background. Morgan and I both came from a family of girls and professional parents. She was from Connecticut while I was raised in Rhode Island. Hitting it off talking and laughing, we ate together in the Commons. Back in the room we put all our stuff away and kept talking. We were surprised when we realized it was almost eleven. We both had early morning classes and agreed to call it a night.
Together we went down the hall to the bathroom. After using the toilets, washing our faces and brushing our teeth, we returned to our room. I knew this was the time to bring up a potentially touchy subject.
"Morgan, I know we just met, but I need to ask you something."
She smiled.
"I usually sleep nude. If that freaks you out or makes you uncomfortable in any way, please say so. I don't want you not feeling at ease in your own room."
Megan looked at me and I could see her eyes moving up and down.
"Completely nude?"
"Yep. Bare as bare can be."
We both laughed. Hers sounded more polite than hearty.
"Gretchen, thanks for being so honest. Let me reply the same way. Basically, I'm shy. I always have been. I didn't participate in any athletics. I'm more of a drama and arts person." She smiled, "My sister says I'm more of a drama queen than a drama student. Anyway, one of the reasons I steered clear of athletics was that I never wanted to have to get undressed in a locker room with a bunch of other girls."
I nodded and told her I could understand that.
"Morgan, I'm not asking you to do anything you're not comfortable with. I just want to make sure my being naked won't disturb you."
"That's the thing. I don't know."
I thought about her answer and then said, "You mean you've never seen another girl naked?"
She shook her head.
"Even your sisters?"
Morgan turned red.
"Gosh, no. I think they may be shier than I am. Our entire family is like that. No one runs around in underwear or anything. We are always dressed."
This conversation was starting to turn me on, thinking I could expose myself to someone who never had seen a naked person.
"How about we try this?" I said.
Morgan waited for me to continue.
"I'll sleep nude tonight. Tomorrow, you tell me—and be really honest—if it bothered you. If it does, then we'll work something out. Do you think you could go along with that?"
Morgan nodded and quietly said, "Sure, I can do that." She paused and then added, "I hope."
We both smiled.
"Well, here goes. You can look or not look."
Morgan sat on her bed and looked at me.
I pulled my shirt over my head and tugged my shorts off. I tossed them on my desk chair. I turned and pulled down the covers on my bed.
"Wow, those are sexy panties."
I was wearing a red thong.
"Thanks. I kinda like to keep my underwear to a minimum. Makes me feel good."
Morgan snorted. "I still wear undies that could be classified as granny panties."
"Hey, as I said, I'm not trying to do anything except feel comfortable." I was thinking that Morgan was now curious. I was feeling more excited. With my back to her, I undid my bra, slid down my panties and added them to the pile on the chair. I stood still.
"Gretchen, you can turn around. I won't scream. Probably."
I faced her. Hers eye grew wide and I just let her look at me. Before it could get awkward, I walked over to my desk and grabbed a book.
"I'm almost finished with this. It was on the reading list they gave me for freshmen English. If it's ok with you, I'm gonna read for a bit."
Morgan nodded.
I got in bed and pulled the sheet up, but kept my breasts exposed.
"Gretchen."
"Yea?"
"You have a pretty body."
"Thanks. Not freaked out?"
"Not totally," she said and we both laughed.
I pretended to be absorbed in my book as Morgan began getting ready for bed. She turned her back and took off her outer clothes while standing near her closet. I stifled a laugh seeing her panties; she was certainly accurate in her description. They were full and covered her entire butt, which was a little wide but kinda cute. Her bra in the back looked industrial strength. She reached behind her and fumbled with the hooks.
"Need a hand?" I called from my bed.
"God, no," she said. I saw her take a deep breath. "I mean I can get it."
Finally she unclasped it. I could see the deep marks on her back and shoulders. She had been wearing an oversized men's shirt all day and it was hard to determine the size of her breasts. By the looks of the bra and the stress it put on her back, I thought she must be heavy in front. Morgan pulled a nightshirt on and put her clothes away. She turned. I could see she was still blushing.
"Kinda geeky, huh?" she said.
"Not at all."
She looked at my exposed breasts.
"Wow, this is definitely not like home."
Morgan crawled into bed, turned her back to me and said good-night. I read for another twenty minutes and turned out the light. I was turned on. My fingers found their home between my legs. I ran my middle finger the length of my cleft and thumbed my clit. I didn't intend for my groan to burst the silence of the dark room.
"Are you ok, Gretchen?"
"Uh, yeah, just had a little leg cramp. Ok, now. Good-night."
Using all my will power, I pulled my hand from between my legs. It would not work out for me to masturbate on the first night in our room. I was sure that would send Morgan screaming into the hallways. "Delayed gratification can sometimes be more powerful," I told myself. "Bullshit," I thought. "Waiting to get off when you're ready is just plain torture."
Morgan was already up and dressed when I awoke. She grabbed her tablet, a couple books and stuffed them in her backpack.
"Gonna run and get a breakfast," she said hurrying to the door. "See you later."
"Have a great first day," I said sitting up, letting the sheet fall to my waist.
Morgan quickly glanced at my breasts and bolted from the room. Within fifteen minutes, I was ready and heading out the door. The first day was fun. I met lots of new people and made some friends over lunch. Arriving back in my room around four in the afternoon, I found Morgan sitting at her desk and working on her laptop.
"Hey!"
She turned and smiled, "Hi, Gretchen. Have a good day?"
"Yeah, how about you?"
She turned and we shared the news of our first day. As we were talking, I walked to my dresser and pulled my top off. I wore a light bra. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Morgan staring. I unhooked my bra and put it back in my underwear drawer. I bent and pulled a tee shirt from the bottom door. As I turned back to Morgan, I held the shirt in my hands. She smiled and I pulled the shirt over my head.
"Ah, now that feels better," I said. "I hate wearing bras."
"Oh, yeah, sure," Morgan said.
I asked her what she was working on and she said she had a paper in chemistry due by the end of the week.
"Boy, they don't waste time, do they?"
