The following is a little bit self-indulgent, but perhaps it mirrors some of what you guys may have felt and delightfully enjoyed way back then.

This is kind of off topic but after reading a lot of these stories I want to say something, Junior High was the best time of my life. Some people will disagree. In elementary grades I didn't know anything about sex. So there was a complete void all the way through sixth grade which I filled by pretending to be every teacher's pet. In High school I never felt comfortable. Even as a senior I never felt like I was part of things. All the high school boys who oozed sexiness were committed to girls and it would have been suicide to try and jack with the high school guys.
But in Junior High we were all at the right age to know there was something else that our dicks could do besides piss. Physical Education was our laboratory. We could tell that certain boys were still naive. In a few cases I think I noticed when those boys made the jump. There would be a certain new stance as they walked to and from showers. Or sometimes their dicks got slightly hard or suddenly looked a little "used." Never really erect, but still suddenly changed.
I was kind of egotistical, I guess. I felt like I kept a mental inventory of which boys were regular jackers, which ones were too young to do it yet, and which ones were old enough that they'd learned to control it. That left a broad swath of guys who were "newly sexual." It was fun to watch them sneaking a look at everybody else's dick, and most of the recently mature guys, particularly in 7th and 8th grade, would either participate in mutual jacking or validate it by secretly watching and getting their own nuts off without letting it be seen.
It's hard to explain, but those three grades, 7-8-9 are still very meaningful to me. Yeah, I had discipline problems and study problems, but looking back a long time, junior high was MY time.

Not me. It was awful. I didn't realize that my sexual interest in other boys would get me a negative reputation that I would have to live with for years. After it happened I went through the rest of middle school wishing that the school would blow up and take all the teachers and kids with it. I went on to high school still identified as a practicing fag due to some friendly jacking in seventh grade.
ReplyDeleteAs I read this, I realized that I could have written exactly this myself. Middle school was Such an amazing time for me, too, and for the same reasons that this writer expressed, except that by 9th grade I realized that most of the boys were becoming sexually into girls, even some of the ones I had messed around with and we had jerked off together. For me, all through 8th grade I was also checking out the 7th graders, estimating which ones were starting to look, puberty-wise, far enough along to have started jacking off and squirting and which ones hadn't gotten that far yet. I think that's because my first
ReplyDeleteclimax and ejaculation happened in late October in 7th grade. And this was also back in a time when I got to see loads of my classmates in all three grades regularly in the school showers, too.
To Anon @ 5:14AM: This might be a good place for you to be able to tell somebody (all of us readers of this blog) what you went through, and you'll get an understanding ear. It might help you, an d relive a little of the burden from this that maybe you've been carrying for so many years.
ReplyDeleteThe writer said PE was his laboratory. I never thought of it in that way, but it's a perfect description. I think PE in junior high was the dividing line between little me and big me. I was stunned the first time I saw all the boys naked. Somebody should have told me, but they didn't and I was taken by surprise to see a shower room full of bare penises. PE was offered in seventh and eighth grades only. You can see quite a span of maturity in that range of boys, from the smallest little unchanged twelve-year-olds to the near-adult bodies of certain faster maturing fourteen-year-olds. At thirteen another boy spent the night with me. We were playing a tickle game which got out of hand and my system came on line for the first time. After that happened I really enjoyed PE because, like others have said, I started putting the guys in mental pigeon holes according to my own subjective guess as to whether they DID or DID NOT do a certain big boy thing to their stiffies. In junior high the boys were at their handsomest, dicks were at their stiffest, and the assistance of a horny friend was at its peak. I miss it.
