Helping a Young Patient

I am a GP at a local surgery. This afternoon I had a patient come in for an appointment. He was very young, only 18, he looked even younger than that. I asked him what was the issue, and he looked very embarrassed, blushing immediately. I'm used to seeing this with patients so I said,  "It's ok, take your time. And be as honest as possible so I can help you as best as I can." He replied: "I'm worried that there's something wrong with me". So I encouraged him: "What makes you say that?" "I'm worried because I feel a bit sore, you know, down there..." And he indicated towards his private area. "What is it specifically that you are worried about?" I said. "Well it feels kind of like it aching a lot of the time, and it's happened more and more." "Ok, well I'll need to take a look to see if everything is ok, have you had an examination before?" "No" he said, shyly. "Well it's ok, you have nothing to be scared of. Just pop behind the curtain there and undress and let me know when you are ready." After a minute or so he called out that he was ready so I pulled back the curtain to see him sitting on the bed, completely naked. "Oh, ok, I see you've taken everything off, no problem, I can take a proper look at you now." I said, trying not to add to his embarrassment. "Now I'm going to check your testicles to make sure they are all ok". I explained. "Ok" he said, clearly still very embarrassed. As I began to feel his testicles to check them over I could see his penis twitch and start to swell noticeably. "Is it here that you are feeling the pain?" I asked, feeling his scrotum. He just nodded. "I think so". I then gently touched his penis feeling it for anything abnormal. I could feel it harden in my hand. "I'm so sorry". He said. "That's another thing, that keeps happening as well." "There's nothing to be sorry for at all." I said. "It's a completely natural reaction. How often do you get an erection?" "Loads of times every day, it's so embarrassing". He replied. "Well it's very normal and natural for that to happen so don't worry. Although I understand it must be a bit awkward at times." I then began to realise what might be the problem here, so I asked him some further questions. "Can I ask, are you sexually active?" He went even redder and looked down. "Er, no." "So do I take it you are still a virgin?" He nodded. "That's quite ok. You are still very young." I said. "What about by yourself? How often do you masturbate?" "I... I don't really know what that is." He replied. All of a sudden the pains and spontaneous erections made more sense. "Ah ok. I think I might have worked out the problem." I said. "Masturbating is when you give yourself sexual pleasure. It's completly normal and a very natural way for people to relieve sexual urges and stresses. I have a feeling that it may be that which is causing you your discomfort and it could be you just need to mastubate." I said. "Er... Ok". He said. Does everyone do it?" "Well I'd say almost everyone, yes. I masturbate regularly and find it fun and enjoyable". I said, wanting to make him feel comfortable. "Here, let me show you how to get started."  I touched the tip of of his penis gently and wrapped my hand around it and rubbed up and down a few times.  "Like that. Just find what feels nice and experiment." I then took his hand and placed it round his penis and helped him rub up and down a few times until he felt comfortable enough to continue by himself. "It feels... Really nice." He said, out of breath now. "That's good, it's supposed to. Hopefully soon you'll feel a pleasurable sensation starting to build?". He nodded, and continued to rub gently. It wasn't long before he started to ejaculate. I have to admit the look on his face was so cute and I was pleased I had opened him up to such an important part of his sexual development, and hopefully helped his worry and anxiety as well. I handed him a tissue to wipe himself, as you can imagine there was quite a bit of fluid there. "Whenever you feel the need or urge to do that you should do so." I advised him. "It's a natural and healthy thing to do and I encourage you to do it whenever you feel the need." He thanked me for my help as he left. I felt guilty for feeling more than a little aroused by the appointment, particularly giving a cute young man an introduction to masturbating and hopefully a lifetime of sexual pleasure.
