Summer break from college. My plans were just to work and work up some good party money for the upcoming semester. My buddy Jim and I had worked at the summer camp where we were counselors and in between summer jobs we got together to party some. Most of the time this consisted of us making plans with girls and something always fell through. Some nights were planned gaming, drunken Super NES tournaments that would last all night. Just another summer.
Jim's mom needed a ride to Clearwater beach for a conference and she said she would pay for a room on the beach for the night for driving her the 3 hours to her conference. This worked out pretty well as we did not have much as far as prospects for doing anything else for the summer. Our hopes were that we could hook up with some girls and perhaps make the night enjoyable.
Dinner at BK (again, we were in college, not rich!) and we stopped by the liquor store to get some snacks, beer and Southern Comfort. We got our room and made plans to head to the beach. Weather was good, high 80's with a breeze. Perfect beach weather. We decided to just walk up and down the beach. We said some hellos, did some introductions, but didn't really find anything going on. We had hopes of finding a party. As our luck would have it, we didn't. Seemed this wasn't really the weekend or place for anything like that. As the evening started to get really dark we decided to retreat to our room.
We had two queen beds and we looked for something on TV. We still had about an hour before Cinemax started their "Adults after Dark" programming. Nothing was on TV so we were just talking about striking out tonight. We were pretty buzzed and working the beers down. The Jim did it again, asked me a question that made me uncomfortable. "How do you masturbate?" There was a long pause. I really didn't know how to answer the question. He has told me in the past that he never has done it, but never asked me about if or how I do. What is the proper answer for a question like this? This was my best friend, we had discussed just about everything (or so I had thought). I took a long draw from my beer and responded. "What are you talking about?"
Jim explained that he never masturbated. This surprised me. He has said it in the past but I never thought too much about it. He was 21 and had not ever took his dick in his own hands and pleasured himself. I personally couldn't remember a two day stretch when I hadn't jerked off. I don't know of anyone who discusses this. What was I to say? So, I started to explain the process. Never having done this before it seemed rather trivial in my mind but putting it to words was somewhat challenging.
