Diddle, diddling, diddling around/about never had a sexual meaning. It meant you were bored or idle and looking for something to do. It didn't have anything to do with masturbation--certainly it was not like those male words. . . jacking, stroking, wanking. Besides ladies, or girls. or women, just didn't talk about such things, much less do them or if we did, let men know we did; or heaven forbid let them watch.
But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
First it was getting caught naked. It was "getting caught" wasn't it? A mad dash from the bathroom to my bedroom with company in the house. Somehow the change of clothes was left innocently behind so I was just in a towel. And after catching attention leaving the door open just a crack. Then came the accident with the towel, at first it just fell open. Later, it fell down, then later it fell off. The next natural step was the old disclaimer.
"Well I guess you've seen me naked, there's no use covering up now.".
I'd just pick the towel up and not bother to put it back on.
Every time it went a step farther as I found I got a little more turned on. I just couldn't explain it. . . . not to myself or my brother or sister whose male friends were the "victims" or "beneficiaries" depending on your point of view. After a while it became a real turn on, then later kind of an obsession. If my brother had a friend spend the night he had a good chance of walking in on me in the bathroom and naturally I was stark fucking naked. As my sister developed boyfriends or better yet male friends (boyfriends have that pain in the ass jealousy problem. . . .but an obsession IS an obsession) the same thing seemed to happen more and more frequently. I opened their door in my towel to find out if their friend had already showered or used the bathroom and OOPS there went the towel again.
I just liked the idea not only that they "caught" me naked, but after a while I began to fantasize that it turned them on, as much as displaying myself was turning me on. I started looking for the telltale signals-not just the tent in the pants-but they started looking in on me in my room to see if I had showered. I definitely didn't mind the opportunity, so I wore very little if company was over, and usually it was easy to get out of-like a nylon robe.
I needed a bigger fix. I started leaving my shades, curtains, blinds open lying on my bedspread and masturbating. I began to imagine neighbors, strangers, maybe regular strollers who had already caught my act coming by behind the house and watching. Once as I was running around in my room naked, I noticed a light come on behind our house. A guy was standing looking out of the window and he was naked too. I pretended not to notice and began my masturbation routine on the bed. I was very turned on knowing he could see. I could look across my room in the mirror and see the guy; he had began to stroke his cock. A short time later the light went out in his room.
