Caught in the Shower

I was an enthusiastic jacker in high school, but freshman year presented challenges. I shared a bunk bed. Instead of private washrooms, there were communal washrooms with several sinks and several showers that didn’t have curtains. Once I went to take a shower in the middle of the day and no one else was in the washroom, so I had a chance to pleasure myself. As I was close to cumming, another student, Chris, walked in. The way the bathroom was laid out Chris could see my in the mirror at the sinks.

Chris was a devout Catholic. Chris had been friendly before this episode, but immediately after he turned. He clearly thought I would be damned to hell. He was so unfriendly towards me that one of my roommates asked me why I thought Chris was acting that way. I said I had no idea.

In second year Chris and I moved to different residences and saw very little of one another. I have seen Chris across crowded rooms at college reunions, but have never spoken to him. Sometime I would like to ask him if he remembers the episode – for all I know he might have repressed it completely. And I’d like to ask him if he ever came to terms with his own sexuality. But, given the crowd-scene setting of a reunion, that’s probably not the place to ask.
