Its Always Been A Pleasure - Boys Will Be Boys

I have been jacking with guys since before I could ejaculate and have had many jo buds since then. Starting when I was younger, I swam at the local YMCA and back then all of the boys swam nude. The swim times were broken into age groups of age 6 to 12, 13 to 18 and 19 and older.
From early on, many of the boys would get stiffies, boners or hard-ons as we called them. No one seemed to notice or care about them.
One day, in the locker room, there were 6 or 8 guys sitting around each other stroking their stiffies.
I asked what they were doing and one of them said, "jacking off...try it...it feels great."
I started stroking my soft dick as they were doing and soon I had a stiffy as well. After a few minutes, most of them were moaning and oohing & aahing and saying how great it felt.
Only one of the boys actually ejaculated but I did have a dry come myself and it felt great.
We did this pretty much on a daily basis and some of us had also started "helping" another guy every once in a while.
There were no sexual connotations involved, it just felt great to do it.
From that day to the present time, masturbation has been more of a "PLEASURE" activity for me than a sexual one although there's no doubting that it is even more pleasurable when sex is involved.
When we moved up to the 13 to 18 group, a group of us still stroked together, but by this time we were all ejaculating. We had moved our masturbation moments to the showers which made the clean-up of our come easier and, as we had been doing for a few years, we often would stroke each other.
So, as you can see, being nude and jacking in front of, and with, other guys was never a problem as my first experiences were group experiences.
Because I had been jacking(solo and mutual) with the guys at the Y, it was easy to masturbate with a neighbor boy and a few of my school friends, which I will write about next.
