I was a camp counselor every summer between the ages of 18 and 25.
The first two years I had the little kids cabin not much to report there but when I was assigned to the 12 and up cabins which was 12-14 year old campers, I found that if I listened carefully at night I could hear subtle and occasionally not so subtle sounds of campers having their own relaxing ways.
One time I woke up very late at night because I had to pee and I laid there with an uncomfortably full bladder hearing the camper in the bed next to me just really going at it. I determined not to get up, because I didn't want to embarrass him and have him stop. This was my initial plan, but the advancing pain of my full bladder condition progressed to discomfort. I knew that I would explode if I delayed much longer. As quietly as possible I got up from my bed. As my feet hit the floor I heard the camper whisper to me, asking if I could walk him to the bathroom. I did, and it was apparent to me that he went to the urinal and finished off.
I don't know if he wanted something to happen between us or just didn't care. But in keeping with some semblance of the unwritten male code, I didn't tell him to stop. I just asked him if he felt better.
I was smart enough at 20 not to allow anything improper to happen between us or even to join in. Yet, for the rest of the time he was there in camp, if he woke me up in the night to "use the restroom" I knew what he was going to do.
And just as a post script to this. No we never acknowledged what was actually happening, the only thing that we did was nod heads or speak in vague terms like when I asked him if he felt better.

Dave brings us this story from his youth. I believe it is best to let the story serve as testament to his affection for someone he cherished...
Camp was a fine setting to develop certain "social skills" after the lights went off. In my case it was church camp but the principle still applies.
ReplyDeleteI think it incredibly brave that a 12-14 year old (it wasn't clarified) would go to the toilet with a much higher older Councillor whom he doesn't know at all. Perhaps he knew that you were awake or at least woke up whilst he did his routine, and when you got up to go to the toilet he bravely mistook this a s a cue to follow?
ReplyDeleteMasturbating is a way too personal and private thing to do, especially as a young teen, to even admit to other boys that you do it, let alone letting another boy (who is not even a close friend of yours) see you doing it. The boy easily could have made his way to the bathroom alone, but he chose to ask the other boy to take him there? In the middle of the night? I'm skeptical if this story is truthful. But that's just my opinion.
