Roomies — Part Two, DORMMATES
Welcome to Part Two of our look at how guys who want to masturbate handle the privacy challenges of their living situation. You may want to read Part One to see where we’re coming from, but to summarize, this is what’s up: Given the fact that masturbation is pretty much a part of most guy’s lives, what do we do when our living arrangements make it difficult to find that quality “alone time”? In Part One we asked you about how you handled the situation at home sharing a room with one or more brothers. In Part Two, we’re going to take a look at the situations that come up when guys are away from home and living at school. It might be boarding school, college, university, a dormitory, a frat house…you get the idea.
Going away to school and living with someone is a bit of a different game than when you lived with your brothers. You and your roomie are on a peer level so you can’t really kick him out or lock him out when you’re horny. Dormmates are usually strangers at first so it takes some time to feel them out and find out what they’re attitudes and routines are. They maybe be extremely shy about the subject of masturbation or they might be the kind of guy who sleeps naked and doesn’t care if you see his morning wood as he walks around the room. Possibly your dormmate is a friend from high school, possibly you’ve jacked off together before so the dorm room thing is already no big deal.
And then there’s the living space. Sharing a room with one or more guys can be challenging. Typically dormitory rooms are small and somewhat crowded. It’s pretty much the only home turf you and your roommate have…there’s no “rest of the house” to hang out in. Chances are you and your roommate have odd schedules and it may be hard to predict when and for how long you have the room to yourself.
Many guys away at school cope with what they are dealt with and just wait for those times when their roomies are gone to indulge in some private pleasuring. Or, maybe it’s off to the bathroom to try and find some privac. The problem here is you’re probably dealing with a communal bathroom and they’ll be others present (possibly for the same reason).
More so than with your brothers at home, here is where the “Roomie Contract” may come into play. As we brought up in Part One, this is where guys confront the situation head on with lawyer-like honesty and declaration. They pretty much have a discussion with their roommate that goes something like: “Hey, I masturbate, you masturbate, we both like to masturbate. But, we share the same room, so how do you want to handle this. Should we just ask for some alone time when we need it and the other guy leaves for a while? Should we have a secret knock so we don’t walk in on anything embarrassing? Do you care at all and should we just go for it when we want to even if the other guy is in the room?” Terms and conditions are agreed upon, the agreement is made, and the jerking ensues.
So how do you handle jerking off when you live with someone else in a dorm? Take the polls and let’s take a look…
Roomies — Intro and Part One, BROTHERS
It’s no secret that most guys masturbate. Whether it’s a little or a lot we all get the itch. In fact, according to recent surveys on this blog, the average amount our readers are doing it is about twice a day (that’s average…many do it more, many do it less). You don’t really need much to masturbate, just the urge, a penis, and a little privacy. Not a problem right? Well the urge part is easy, the penis part is easy, but what about the privacy part?
For most guys privacy means going off to your bedroom and shutting the door, indulging during a nice long shower, or wanking while nobody else is home. Not always so easy unless you live by yourself. Many of us live at home, have a large family, and/or share a room with a brother. If we don’t live at home we might have roommates, if we are away at school we might have dormmates, some of us are in the military and live in a barracks situation, and still more of us might be living in other circumstances that require roommates such as prison or rehab. And then there are those of us who are married or are living with a partner and we’d really rather not advertise the fact that we are masturbating.
So what do you do under those circumstances when you want to masturbate and need a little “alone time”? Many guys just go with the flow. They sneak what opportunities they can. They wait till the house is empty and seize the day. They hear their brother is going to be sleeping over at a freinds house and they go nuts in anticipation of the blissful privacy to come. They may sneak out of the room in the middle of the night to jerk it in the bathroom or they may be masters of covert masturbation and bust a nut quietly after waiting for everyone else to fall asleep.
Other guys confront the situation and take charge. They approach the problem in a business-like manner and negotiate terms of engagement with the other parties involved. They pretty much have a discussion with their roommate that goes something like: “Hey, I masturbate, you masturbate, we both like to masturbate. But, we share the same room, so how do you want to handle this. Should we just ask for some alone time when we need it and the other guy leaves for a while? Should we have a secret knock so we don’t walk in on anything embarrassing? Do you care at all and should we just go for it when we want to even if the other guy is in the room?” Terms and conditions are agreed upon, the agreement is made, and the jerking ensues.
Still other guys may be in situations where it just doesn’t matter. They share a room with someone who just doesn’t care or who joins in for the fun. I’m guessing this is rare, but it does exist.
Part One is on brothers, then we’ll take a look at some other typical roomie situations. So how do you handle the roommate situation? When you hear the call of the wild, how do you answer with your brother(s) around.
ANOTHER 5 Secret Things All Guys Do (But Few Will Admit To)
This is the third in a series of articles that explores those secret things that pretty much all (well most, okay, well you tell us how many) guys do a little or a lot. They are those things that we don’t really want to admit to, but if you ask a guy, he’s probably gonna get red faced and start laughing as a first reaction. They are the private little practices, playful games with our bodies, and covert activities that go on behind closed doors. See if any of these apply to you…
1. NOT GOING OUT WITH A LOADED GUN. This popular secret guy practice was heralded in the movie “There’s Something About Mary”. It’s the practice of masturbating before going out on a date or going to see your partner. The theory is if you’ve recently busted a nut you’re one, not going to be all horned up and over anxious to have sex, and two, when you do have sex you’re going to last longer.
2. SAVING UP YOUR AMMO. This is pretty much the opposite of the above practice. In this one, a guy who’s anticipating having sex on a particular day with abstain from masturbating and save up his load for several days. The thought here is that one, you’ll shoot a bigger load that will impress your partner, two, the orgasm is going to be much more intense, and three, if you didn’t shoot a big gusher you’re partner is going to know that you’ve been masturbating (and everyone knows guys in relationships don’t masturbate! haha)
3. HOW STRONG IS YOUR BONER? This one usually comes up during the course of taking a shower and getting dressed. The thought pops into your head, “I wonder what my boner can hold?” So we hang a sock on it, a shirt on it, a towel on it and walk around. We hang two towels on it and check ourselves out in the mirror. Be careful though, you definitely don’t want to overload. No one is going to be particularly impressed that you could you keep a wet towel hanging on your boner, especially if you pull a muscle or something.
4. WHAT WOULD I LOOK LIKE IF I WAS A GIRL? (THE PENIS TUCK). Okay this one is embarrassing. Probably during the same towel hanging session described above, or during a sleepover, or maybe in the locker room at school, the thought comes upon us….”hmmm, if I tucked my penis between my legs and walked around I’d kind of look like a girl, let’s see!” I know I know. It feels pathetic to write about it, but c’mon, you know you’ve done it.
5. COMPARING SIZES. This one may be a little less common. Probably because it requires the involvement of another person. Most guys, at some point in their lives or others, seem to have a perfectly normal curiosity about how their size compares to everyone else. So, maybe you talk about it with the other guys, or maybe you even whip it out and have a tape measure at the ready to see who rules in the size department. Some guys would never show their boner to another guy, others whip it out during every sleepover. What’s you story? Have you compared? Was it just verbal or was it visual?

Treasure Trails
There comes a point in a guy’s life when he looks down and goes, “Aha what’s this? a trail? and look where this leads!” It’s sort of one of those marks of manhood that most of us take some pride in. It’s a sign that we have arrived. As we get older, we may think, “hmmm this is getting a bit much, time to trim it down a bit.” It comes upon us maybe a little or maybe a lot, relatively not at all, or bushy.
Some people consider it a turn on, others a turn off. It’s called many different things…the happy trail, treasure trail, treasure line, pleasure trail, pubic trail, and road to glory, among other things. It’s that line of hair that most guys develop in some shape or form that travels from the belly button to the pubic region.
How’s your trail? Take a look at the pic below and see which one mostly closely matches your treasure trail in its natural condition without any trimming, manicuring or manscaping….
1. PRETTY MUCH NO TRAIL AT ALL
2. A DISTINCT TRAIL, BUT NOT VERY HAIRY OR BUSHY
3. DEFINITE TRAIL THAT’S PRETTY FILLED IN AND WELL DEVELOPED
4. NOTICEABLE TRAIL, THICK, FULL, DENSE
5. WELL DEVELOPED TRAIL THAT SPREADS OUT IN AN INVERTED V-SHAPE GROWING WIDER AT THE BOTTOM
6. PRETTY MUCH THE TRAIL GETS LOST IN THE STOMACH HAIR AS HAIR SPREADS ABOVE, TO THE SIDES AND BELOW THE NAVEL.
