Chronicle of a Cam Session

When I wake up in the early morning, I turn on the coffee-maker that I have prepared the night before and sit down at my laptop to check my email, see what my friends on FaceBook have been thinking about, and log onto SoloTouch to see if I have any messages, to see if any of the new stories look interesting to me, and to see if any of my ST friends are online for a chat. I may linger to read a ST story or chat with a ST friend, but I and my penis know I am headed downstairs to begin a session on a cam site. At my desk downstairs I open my laptop, plug in my remote cam, put a hand towel on my desk chair seat, and pull down my sleep pants. I sit down in the chair, place the cam in a position focusing on my genitals and thighs, fluff my penis, pull on my testicles a little to get loose, and log onto the cam site. I open my cam and wait for my bate buddies to start showing up. I did not have any batebuddies for circle jerks as a young man, but now I have virtual circle jerks with online friends. Typically I will edge and chat on cam for an hour or more. Pretty soon my regular buddies start showing up. Most of them are men older than 60, though a few younger regulars show up. We greet each other as each comes online and share the news that we have begun masturbating, most of us edging, maybe sipping coffee. Some of my bate buddies open their own cams, while others do not cam but might have naked pictures on their profile pages (which others compliment). Over time, I have introduced some of these bate buddies to SoloTouch and they have opened ST accounts, where we can chat and send emails (for example, I send folks the links to the earlier stories I wrote for the older version of the ST site). As the session proceeds, a few things are happening. I edge slowly, sometimes tugging on my penis, sometimes rubbing my frenulum, bobbling my testicles with my fingertips, sometimes playing with the precum as it starts leaking from my penis. I am circumcised but I have enough loose skin on the shaft of my penis to slide it over the head and makes what I call my fake foreskin. I cant do as many tricks with my penis and scrotum as the guys do on the stage show (and DVD), Puppetry of the Penis, but I have a few things to show people, including tucking TicTacs into my fake foreskin. Folks seem to like that. In fact, my slow hand playing with my penis gets general appreciation, and I manage to keep myself on the edge, enjoying the tingling in my body as hormones flow. My penis swells as it fills with blood, and I sometimes speed up my tugging, but I do not aim to get really hard (I am 71) and I do not cum on public cam. I save that intimate act for private chats, usually cam-to-cam. Thats the masturbating part of my cam sessions. But the feeling in my penis and through my whole body is only part of the pleasure of masturbating on cam. There is a pleasure in knowing that men and women watching me are (in most cases) masturbating while watching me and while chatting with me. Some men even share with me the news that they cum while watching. It may surprise people who do not spend time on cam sites but a great deal of the pleasure I take is the conversations with other men as we edge together. The anonymity of our masturbation (made-up usernames, cams focused on genitals rather than faces) somehow makes it possible to talk about things I (we) would not talk about with real male friends in real life. We talk about our sex lives (or lack of sex lives) with our wives. We share our sexual fantasies. We talk about family crises, illness, hangovers. We talk about our youthful discovery of masturbation and any early sexual experiences (mine is my true story here in ST, Scout Grope). We become vulnerable in our conversations, letting down the guards we men often have in each others presence. We value this time we have together before we start the day. I have seen discussions of this bonding phenomenon on a nudist site I belong to, as well. Men report strong bonding by being naked together and masturbating together. None of this is to deny the pleasure of the masturbation. As I said, sometimes I will go into a private conversation with a friend and we will work toward our orgasms as we chat. Sometimes we work on cumming at the same time, sometimes we take turns. It always feels like a very intimate, important moment, one that is among the very strong male bonding men have. So is this a story about solo masturbation? Hard to say. I am masturbating alone, with an audience online. I can say that, with on more sex in my marriage for over three years now, this masturbation online is a satisfying substitute. SoloTouch and my masturbation on cam are complementary places for my sexual satisfaction.
