now that's an existential moment

brightly shine the little stars at night.
the sexy young man lies naked on his back,
staring up at them while he masturbates.
just before he cums, he rolls onto his
side, and spurts his cum off into the grass.
then, he rolls again onto his back, and
stares up at the stars while his big cock
droops and gets flexible again.  he
smells the scent of the night air (soil
and warm wispy dampness) and the scent
of his own cum (acrid, musky, fertile).
he watches a bat gliding and dipping
as it tries to catch insects. the sexy
naked young man cannot tell if the bat
is catching any insects or not. it is too
dark, and the insects are just too small.
the sexy naked young man curls and uncurls
his toes. he touches his nipples, first
the left one, then the right, and
feels just a bit astonished at how
hot his own body feels at the touch
of his own fingertips. then he remembers,
and that's when the calmness really settles in,
midnight, summer, the middle of june.

had unprotected sex with
a total stranger
on a public beach.

he was really cute.

i didn't get sick.

in fact,
everything turned out fine.

All of these guys -- maybe they're all reading poems by me, Carl Miller Daniels. Maybe. Could be. Ya just never know...fer sure...

golden age penis skeleton

the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy had reached
the point in his masturbatory development where
he liked to whap his dick against his belly.
in other words, he liked to lie on his back atop
his bed,
and with the fingers of one hand hold onto
his dick so
that he could knock the top of his dick
against his belly, rhythmically, whap
whap whap.
the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy
especially savored the feel of his
big purple dickhead as he knocked
the top of it against his smooth
tight belly.  whap whap whap.
oh yes,
the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy
loved to lie there atop his bed on his
back whapping the top of his big hard
dick against his nice smooth and tight
belly. this procedure made a definite
"whap whap whap" sound and one
night he was lying in bed masturbating
using that method and
making that "whap whap whap" sound
as the top of his big hard dick whapped
against his belly,
and his roommate said "what
are you doing?"
his roommate was also a sophomore
in college. his roommate was in
the top bunk.
he himself was in the bottom bunk.
his roommate was also a very good-looking
guy.
so, the mood he was in,
the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy
who was currently masturbating
and making that "whap whap whap" sound
said: "i'm doing this new kind of
masturbation i've starting liking where
i whap the top of my dick against my belly.
it feels great, especially the part where my
my nice sensitive dickhead whaps against
me."
and, while saying these words to
his sexy roommate,
the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy
is making that "whap whap whap" sound
as he continues masturbating using this
"whap whap whap" methodology. 
in a couple of seconds, the sexy roommate
replies, "that's what i thought you
were doing," and then HE, the sexy roommate,
begins making that sound himself, as he
whaps the top of his own big smooth dick
against his own nice taut belly.
so both boys are lying in their bunks,
masturbating in this "whap whap whap"
method, neither boy seeing
the other, but both boys entirely aware
of what is going on, and very soon,
they are pacing themselves using
the exact same rhythm. their
"whap whap whaps" are synchronized
exactly, and then both sophomore college boys,
the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy
and his hot sexy roommate,
are chuckling good-naturedly,
lying there masturbating rhythmically,
and the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy
says to his roommate,
"any second i'm gonna spurt cum" and
his sexy roommate answers back "me too"
and
the "whap whap whap" continues right along,
until a moment of silence,
during which hot smelly cum is being spurted
in great big gooey gushy quantities.
then, both boys get out of bed
and start wiping the cum off
their chests and bellies with
dirty t-shirts,
and
the lights in their room are still
off
but
suddenly
the sexy naked big-dicked teenage boy
turns on the overhead light
and both boys stand there
staring at each other,
their big dicks still mostly
hard, their bodies young
and beautiful and sweaty,
they've never done anything like
this before, nothing sexual like
this, with each other, or with
any other guy for that matter,
and
they just go on staring at each
other like this is the most
amazing thing they've ever done
in their whole entire
lives
and, years later,
all graduated,
employed, with attractive
wives and smart sassy kids,
each of those two guys
occasionally thinks back
on that night in the dorm,
and then each of those
two guys grins, licks
his lips, and
smiles really really
big.
