jerking off -- yes and no

"jerking off is great. you
really ought to try it," said
the guy who jerked off every single night. he
was speaking to his friend. his friend is a
guy who never jerked off. ever. his
friend thought
it was immoral to jerk off, but
phrased it in less religious terms.
"nah," said the guy who never
jerked off.  "i just let it
happen in my sleep. let
nature take its course. i don't
think nature needs any help
from me."
these two guys were both very
good-looking, downright sexy --
and they had a strange
relationship -- the guy who never
jerked off and the guy who jerked
off every single night -- they told
each other everything. it was
almost friendship.
but not quite. "i bet i spurted nearly
a gallon of cum last night -- in fact, i'm sure of
it," said the guy who jerked off
every single night. "i bet i went through
a whole box of kleenexes." "that's
nice for you," said the guy who
never jerked off. and then
the guy who never jerked
off also said, "and my pajamas were
dry when i woke up, i'm glad
to say. and i'm just
thankful for that. i don't
like those dreams where i end up spurting
cum. they're just so,
unsettling, so messy, but
i do admit that i feel
good after having that kind of dream,
i feel messy, but
real relaxed ya know." and, once again,
the guy who jerked off every single
night and the guy who never ever jerked
off (but had occasional wet dreams)
exchanged their timid smiles,
and, once again, they meandered through
the rest of their day --
each guy seemed satisfied with his own
dick and the way his own dick
spurted cum, each guy thinking
about his own dick, as each
guy often did throughout
a day, each guy thinking about his
own dick, and the
cum it spurted, and,
while each guy thought about
his own dick, he was thinking
about the other guy's dick too,
and each guy wondering if he'd ever
see the other guy's dick,
or maybe even touch it, and maybe even
sniff the other guy's cum, too, just
to, you know, well, just to compare,
so that each guy could kinda satisfy what
could be gently described as each
other's queasy kinda curiosity.
