Lisa's Story
Who really is to blame for a simple case of feminine curiosity that has blown up into something huge ... ooh, is huge the appropriate word to use here? Or am I getting carried away with certain relevant dimensions that created this embarrassing incident before I have had a chance to explain it to you?
My best friend of 20+ years claims I have violated our friendship, she wants to expose me as some kind of female paedophiliac predator and my 19-year-old son is no longer talking to me. Havoc, I created havoc ... simply by getting out of bed shortly before dawn to go to my own bathroom to use the toilet, just as I have done every early morning for years.
When I went to bed some 5 or 6 hours before, I was the only person in my house that night, so why would I think to knock or even hesitate before opening the bathroom door? So I didn't ... I threw back the covers, got up out of bed, stumbled out into the hallway, reached out for the bathroom door knob and turned it, pushing it open and stepping inside.
I didn't turn on the light and it wasn't already on. Outside, it was a very clear night with a full moon shining in the windows on that side of the house. So, in my dreamy slumberous haze, I opened wide that door and was startled to see a person silhouetted by the illumination of the moon shining in through the far window.
That person was obviously male because they were standing at the front of the toilet bowl, peeing into said bowl. With the advantage of hindsight, if I had thrown open that bathroom door at ten in the morning -- in fact, at any daylight hour -- and I had seen a male person standing urinating into the toilet bowl, I would have muttered "Sorry!" maybe even added, "Didn't know anyone was in here," and withdrawn with great embarrassment.
But waking from a deep sleep to answer nature's call just before 5am, fully expecting that I was alone in my own house, I believe it was perfectly natural to linger longer, taking more than a cursory glance. First up, I had to quickly establish that a burglar hadn't broken into my house to rob me and was pausing to take a pee before completing his criminal mission. Or to establish that a rapist was not emptying his bladder preparatory to stealing into my room and having his way with me. Don't scoff at that, I am hopefully still a somewhat desirable 43-year old divorcee.
So as I made out the silhouetted shape of a male in profile, urine flowing copiously from his silhouetted appendage, I attempted to identify who this might be in my house at this ungodly hour using the facilities before I could withdraw safely back to my bedroom. So my hand naturally stayed holding the door knob and I stood there staring at the obviously male person (well, he was standing to pee), trying to identify him.
But identification is usually accomplished by facial recognition. This person was side-on, in profile. Besides, my eyes hadn't yet raised my line of vision anywhere near the face. My attention was immediately drawn to the uniquely male piece of genitalia that was producing the steady stream of urine directed into the bowl. On the assumption that since it wasn't stiffly horizontal and that a penis would usually be flaccid to be able to pee, my spontaneous judgement was that I was laying my eyes on an extraordinary sizeable instrument of manhood.
Considering that the head of the penis I spied was closer to the male's knee than to his crotch, I assessed in my rapidly diminishing sleepy haze that this instrument was likely 7 inches, flaccid as it was in the act of peeing. Now you may think that this was a strange thing to do at 5 in the morning ... calculate a measurement without the aid of a tape or ruler. It's just that my ex had such an ego that he was always quoting research into the varying sizes of the male genitalia.
According to that obnoxious prick that I found I was better off without, worldwide research was completed some years back where it was determined that the average penis (that is 94.4% of all penises) was 2.8 to 3.9 inches when flaccid and between 4.7 and 6.3 inches when erect. Why he was so obsessed was that - according to him - his was six-and-a-half when hard. That put him slightly higher than Mr. Average and he loved to boast about that.
How did he know that? Because one night when he had actually performed foreplay on me while we were watching TV -- back in the days when we actually were what they quaintly call sexually active -- we decided to move it to the bedroom to really get into it. When my hubby didn't follow me straight to bed, I went looking for him and caught him in the bathroom using a tape measure to check the length and circumference of his briefly engorged member in its erect state. He was so proud to boast of his findings that he even told all the guests at the table at our next dinner party.
Then he went on to regale our guests with such trivia that the largest penises in the world belonged to men of the Democratic Republic of Congo where they average 7.1 inches and the smallest in North Korea where they only have 3.8 inches. In his stupid naivety, I really think he expected the women around our dining table that night to ooh and aah and be jealous of my good fortune while the men would pat him on the back. You have to know your audience and his statistics so bored that particular group of dinner guests that none of that happened.
But given the ground-breaking results I have just related to you, you can see why I was so shocked to visually adjudge that the flaccid tool of the man peeing in my bathroom looked to be around 7 inches, double the figures for average quoted by my ex.
'What on earth,'
I pondered in these long seconds of discovery while holding the bathroom door open,
'would it stretch to when erect?'
I know I have stretched relating this over a couple of pages, but really the entire incident lasted not much more than 15 seconds, ticking away like this...
Open the door...
1 second
Who the hell is in my bathroom?
2, 3 seconds
Oh God, it's a male and he's in the middle of peeing
4, 5 seconds
Who can it be, is he a threat to me?
6, 7, 8 seconds
Good God, look at that thing ... more important, is that a threat to me?
9, 10 seconds
My God, how big is that thing? I've never seen one like that. Well, maybe on a horse
11, 12 seconds
At last, lift my gaze to check out his face instead ... recognition. Oh my God, is that Michael's best buddy Brandon?
13, 14, 15 seconds
I've known him all his life, used to change his nappies when his mom came to visit with him, he never looked like that back then.
Brandon continued his marathon pee, but he turned his head and his words were slurred. He -- and obviously my son too -- had been out all night drinking. "Hi Mrs. B" - my good friend Heather and I had always insisted our children address adults formally and never use first names - "I'm nearly done here."
It was obvious that young Brandon in his drunken stupor wasn't at all embarrassed by my intrusion and probably -- no, hopefully -- wouldn't recall that I had stared at his penis for so long when I next saw him.
Gathering my thoughts and attempting to belatedly establish some semblance of respectability, I reluctantly backed away and closed the door, standing outside in the hallway to await Brandon's emergence from my bathroom. I reached over to the switch and turned on the hallway light. I'm not sure why, perhaps it just seemed creepy to stand waiting outside my bathroom in the dark.
I didn't have to wait long. The door reopened and the 6-foot 18-year-old appeared, clad only in a tee-shirt ... and I do mean only. I know I shouldn't have because I was the sober adult here, but from sheer curiosity I stole a peep down as we momentarily stood facing each other not two feet apart. I could see that flaccid penis up really close now, it seemed to wave about as he moved and it nearly brushed me.
Although decidedly drunk and very bleary-eyed, he must have become aware of where I was looking and he brought both of his hands forward to attempt to cover his nudity. "Oh shit, I'm sorry Mrs. B, I wasn't expecting to stay over."
"That's ok Brandon, did Michael set you up in the guest room?"
"Yeah he did Mrs. B, I just crashed in there."
"That's good, well better get yourself back to bed, you look like you could do with a bit more sleep."
Very obediently, he turned and staggered down the hallway and my eyes followed his naked butt below the tee-shirt until he disappeared into the guest room. Then I slipped into the bathroom to use the toilet to relieve the need that had woken me from my deep sleep at such an appropriate -- or was that inappropriate -- time?
Normally, if I am compelled to get up to use the toilet in the middle of the night, I leave the lights off where possible so that I don't wake myself up to such an extent that I can't get back to sleep. Well, discovering an unexpected male visitor and then my stunned surprise at how he had developed in one specific and important area, put paid to resuming my deep sleep.
I lay there fitfully for a couple more hours, trying to dismiss -- at least for now -- the vivid memory of what I had glimpsed in my bathroom. How did a young man of 18 possess a penis that could grow to such a size? Why him of all people? Was it hereditary, was his father well-endowed too, I had known his dad Jim nearly as long as I had known Heather, she had never said anything about Jim being inordinately large. With the overtly sexual things she and I had discussed over the years, I am sure if he was, she would have brought it up -- so to speak.
About seven, I gave up on trying to sleep and went out to the kitchen. I made myself a coffee and sat down to read the paper and contemplate whether I should make up a batch of pancakes for the boys.
I was on my own, so to speak, these days. My creep of a husband had run off with a blonde bimbo from his office two years ago. From early in our marriage, I had quickly realised that I would have trouble with him. He was always flirting with anything in a skirt and there were no boundaries. He even hit on some of my friends. So when he eventually pulled the plug, it was no surprise, and although I was pretty cut up at the time, I eventually came to see that he was no loss in my life.
The best thing from our marriage was our two lovely kids. My 19-year-old Michael supposedly still lived at home although I never knew whether he'd be sleeping here each night or not. He and his buddies tended to party a fair bit so if they weren't sleeping over at someone else's place, there was always the possibility that he had got lucky with some girl at one of the club's that night and crashed at her place.
My daughter, Alison is 22, she moved out just before her father did, although that was purely coincidental. She's a good girl and was very concerned for my welfare when the creep departed, even offered to move back in to keep me company. It was a nice gesture but I reassured her that I would be fine and told her that she had her own life to live now.
