TL;DR On learning what my penis could do or how my social awkwardness with girls started in kindergarten. NSFW
Just because you are born with a penis doesn't mean you automatically know what to do with it. My first memories of getting to know my penis involved aiming at the cheerio in the toillete (its how my parents kept me from peeing on the seat). After that, it was water pressure in the boys locker room and seeing how far back I could stand and still make it in the child size urinal. With water pressure and "pushing it out" came the opposite of "holding it in." This is when I inadvertantly discovered the PC muscle. Google tells me that women like this muscle to be strong as it can help during the sexy time. However, I was 4 and going on 5, so my fascination was that I could consciously move my dick.
I never really talked about my penis to anyone. My parents totally sucked about the whole sex ed talk. My mom was vacant about it and my dad asked me if I wanted to get some icecream at the store, which allowed him to take the scenic route and tell me spefically about ejaculation and how good it felt. I still remember that bastard smacking his lips; "yep! smack it feels pretty good! smack so do you have any questions?" In retrospect, the pervert lured me as an 8 year old into his pedo-van with candy... and I digress.
Anyway... the point is that my parents did what most parents did and totally fudged the sex talk. And I should have gotten some introduction about "this" and "that" before deciding to show the other kids what my dick could do. Before you starting thinking I was whipping my pud out for classmates, teacher, and apparently GOD to see (I was at a lutheran kindergarten school, by the way), I will say I wasn't.
I had no idea that my dick had an ability to do strange things. As far as I was concerned, I was the same as everyone else with nothing significant about me. This was the case until swimming class later that school year. As me and the other boys were changing in the boys bathroom, we couldn't help but be curious about the lone kid out of the 15 of us (or there abouts) that had foreskin (yes... this means I am a U.S. citizen unfortunately. For some reason it is a cultural norm to mangle your dick as a baby for "cleanliness" and so the doctor can make an extra 500 bucks off of a 3 minute procedure).
Back to the kid with the foreskin... Boom! the kid was strange but not in a bad way. We had childrens' eyes and were mostly curious: "what is that? were you in an accident? it looks like my dog?" Little did any of us know that he was born normal. Still, he was unique and getting attention. I think I was jealous so I became the new freak as I asked them all to look at my dick as I made it move. Noone wanted to touch it, thank god, but they all looked with amusement and we got dressed into our swimming trunks and off to teh pool.
I remmeber sitting on the wet cement floor as our class listened to the swimming instructor speak. It was hard for me to pay attention as my mind kept drifting to the exhileration of my classmates looking at me. So, I happened to show my dick power again: "hey jenny!" I said.
She didn't scream but she wasn't calm either. I don't know exactly what that look was on her face but I know it wasn't good. Maybe, for her, I was a freak, because of that creepy thing in between my legs that she didn't have... I dont know what really happened in her mind, but I do know that that was the first time in my life that I remember feeling some sort of shame.
I hate to think that my childhood shaped me, but I know it's true. So, how did that shame shape me? I'm not quite sure yet. However, i do think that my desire to get naked and run around while drunk has something to do with it. The evidence that is more damning is my current catchphrase: "look at my penis!" Of course, Im not naked when I say this: It's just a carry-over from childhood just like how being inebriated unlocks childhood pathologies of wanting to be nude.
