Being a Boy by James Dawson Read Free Book Online Page B

three most common sexual problems that men experience. In more fun terms, these mean: ‘floppy cock’; ‘cums in a second’ and ‘my wrist is tired’.
    Your penis goes hard when blood flows into the soft tissue. It’s hydraulics. Sometimes, however, this doesn’t happen. There are about a million reasons why – stress, nerves, alcohol, cigarettes, for example and that’s only a glimpse. Lots of men under 40 – 10 per cent in fact – will suffer erectile dysfunction at some stage. For men over 40, this percentage increases. This number is a reported figure, so it’s actually probably much more common because men don’t like admitting it’s happening to them out of pride. Remember, if it sometimes happens, that doesn’t mean it will always happen.
    Obviously, the more you freak out the less likely you will be to get a stiffy. Stop. Relax. Try again in five. Later, you’ll see there are a host of things you can do for your partner that don’t involve your cock.
    Ejaculation is a similar beast. The more you worry, the bigger a problem it will be. Premature ejaculation is common in young men, hardly surprising given that your penis will be so thrilled to be invited to the sex party – you can hardly blame him for arriving a bit too soon. The good news is, this gets better with practice and, in extreme cases, can be treated. Delayed ejaculation is less common, tends to be related to stress and is more usual in older men.

    NIFTY TIP: To slow down ejaculation, use a thick or extra-thick condom to reduce sensitivity.

    KNOW YOUR BODY:
    The fact touching yourself up feels awesome is not the only reason you should do so. In fact, this fun activity could save your life. You should get into the habit of examining your balls for lumps and bumps. They should feel smoothish and roughly spherical. Regular testicular exams can catch nasty diseases like testicular cancer nice and early.

THE ART OF THE CRAFTY WANK
    N ow that you know all about your penis and how it works, let’s have a proper chat about wanking, or ‘masturbation’ if we’re going to get all hysterical about it. You probably know this already, but masturbation is briskly rubbing your penis up and down, usually until you cum, or ‘ejaculate’. This is one of those things that FEELS NICE.
    Pretty much everyone masturbates. Men and women, who do not have a penis, obviously, but can stimulate their clitoris and the surrounding area. It is COMPLETELY normal – don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Loads of people masturbate and I’m guessing those who say they don’t are fibbing. Although be aware that some faiths and religions have different attitudes to it – and that’s fine. To each their own!
    It is quite hard to have a wank when you’re a teenager. This is sad, because it’s the time in your life when you’ll want to do little else. Experiencing your first wank is like finding an unlimited-refill pot of gold under your bed. Your body can do this amazing thing, as many times as you like, and it’s FREE!
    It’s tricky though. You probably share a home with a minimum of one parent, or at the very least an adult. Throw in siblings and the horror of shared bedrooms and bathrooms. There’s an ancient proverb: ‘The family that wanks together, goes to jail together’. So that’s unacceptable.
    Lack of privacy makes it almost impossible to take ten minutes to pleasure yourself. Fear not, one day you’ll be in charge of your own laundry and you can mess up those sheets every day if you wish, but until then here are some top tips for wanking subterfuge!
Wipe clean surfaces – Easy cum, easy go
The shower wank – Self-cleaning
The ‘I-need-a-poo wank’ – People won’t even go in the bathroom after you’re done and there’s already loo-roll there.
The crusty sock – Lives under your bed and slips into any washing machine unnoticed.
Get it on yourself – You are much easier to clean than bedding and you won’t
