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.
Some lucky visitors caught me right there in the house. I had started pretending to get caught in the shower when no one was home and someone rang the bell. All the towel maneuvers worked just fine on them if they were guys.
My luck changed, but so did my direction. Mom told me I was getting caught a little too much and to be more careful around the house. . . .I still think someone complained-I just don't know which sibling it was. I was almost twenty one and going to a community college while working part time. I was also starting to want to see if I'd had an effect, not just get one from being seen or maybe being seen.
Since I could drive I started driving around in my bra and panties during the summer. Who could tell it wasn't a bikini (me!)? As time wore on I got bolder, I would take off my panties and play with myself as I drove around, since I figured no one could see. At first I'd pull something over my lap if a high profile vehicle was next to me, but if I knew it was a guy alone I just give him the opportunity for a thrill.
This still wasn't enough, I wanted to see the effect I was having on guys. It was about this time I became friends with a really good-looking guy, that I later found out was gay. He had magazines with pictures of naked men. Better yet some had a hard on and some were even playing with their hard cocks. Later the internet became a treasure trove for me, but that happened about five years ago.
He told me about a nude park he went to. He said at first he was very self-conscious, but it became easier and easier the more often he went. He noticed my interest and said I should go with him. I told him I wasn't gay, so it would just be frustrating for me, but he told me that not everyone was gay. Besides he ventured that with my fantasies, nothing there would be a real problem for me. It was intriguing, it was not in town, and I could be a voyeur and an exhibitionist at the same time.
