He Confided

Many years ago I was a scout leader and discovered that sometimes the boys would tell me things they could not comfortably tell to their parents.

Larry was a thirteen year old boy whose father, unfortunately, was too busy to spend time with him so I became a father figure. He and his buddy Peter came to me when they had questions or problems, or just to get away from their homes.

One afternoon their conversation turned to their persistent erections. I could commiserate with them, and explained that I, too, had frequent erections and one of them (I don't remember which) asked me to show them. I explained that I could get in trouble if I exposed myself to them when Peter turned to Larry and said, 'Show us how you jerk off. You've got the stuff!'

That was when I first became aware that neither of them masturbated, but Larry refused Peter's request. I guess he didn't want me to see his penis, but his description of what he felt when reaching orgasm was two words I'll never forget.

He said, 'Like zing!'

What a wonderful, and apt, description of what it felt like to orgasm. I had started masturbating at the same age as these boys and even today try to create that feeling... 'Like zing!'
