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 maybe even added, "Didn't know anyone was in here," and withdrawn with great embarrassment.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
