When I was a student some gay guys I knew in the drama society persuaded me to have a part in a play where I had to walk on stage totally naked and stand facing the audience for ten minutes. I was aware one of them fancied me, they charmed me and flirted and cajoled me and bought me drinks so I agreed.
I was aware that I was smaller than other men but easily flattered and somewhat in denial. The girlfriend I shared a bedsit in a shared house thought it was a great idea. I was the first boy she'd had penetrative sex with so wasn't aware how much smaller I was compared to other guys. I told her I was average sized, about 5 inches. I'd told people it was 5 inches since school days because that's what my best friend said he was and I didn't want to lose face. If she'd measured me with a ruler she'd have found that my 'about 5 inches' was a little under 3 inches but she didn't seem to mind if I wasn't big. Her only previous boyfriend had scared her off sex as he'd been 'much too big' and she hadn't let him inside her in case he hurt her. She was pleased that I was gentle and had a non threatening eager little dick, at first. She was a biology student and she inspected my penis as if it were a specimen. She said it was cute like a naked mole-rat. She showed me a picture of a naked mole rat, it was the ugliest animal I'd ever seen but I could see the resemblance; 3 inches of pink wrinkly skin. It wasn't flattering but better than I was used to and I became a little more confident and less self conscious about my small penis.
As time went on and she'd lost her fear of sex I detected a growing sense of frustration. She'd get cross that I always came quickly, cursed when it slipped out if she moved too much and moody that I couldn't manage most of the adventurous positions she wanted to try.
We'd heard girlfriends screaming and moaning in shuddering orgasms through the thin walls of our house as we lay in bed, witnessed vigorous noisy sex at parties, and loud gasps of climax from the bushes behind the student union bar so she knew she was missing out. Perhaps that was why she was so encouraging, reassuring and insistent that I should be in the play and stand naked in front of the whole college.
