I fucking hate wearing compression shirts...
Fucking things that I’ve always had to wear since I was fourteen. A byproduct created and then left behind in the aftermath of mother nature playing its cruelest joke on a pubescent boy.
Let me explain...
Instead of flooding my tiny body with testosterone to help my male body develop, my body was taken over by estrogen, making me a brutal victim of a severe chemical imbalance that left my entire early teenage years filled with anger and frustration. It also filled those early years with weekly visits to the family psychiatrist as well as constant visits with my pediatrician. In the end, my condition, while rare, wasn't then and isn't now life-threatening. None of us knew, when all this started, that there's a small number of boys and, eventually later in life, some men that suffer through this condition every year.
The numbers are low; unfortunately for me, I’m part of that group of young men that never really develop their male physique. I don’t have broad shoulders, the appearance of heavy bone structure. I never did develop a slightly deep baritone voice or facial/body hair. I’ve been stuck with a near feminine body since I first hit puberty. Growing up, I was often confused for a tomboy.
A girl trying to be a boy for those of you that don’t know...
My final growth spurt finally happened the summer of my senior year of high school. It left me at a whopping five foot three inches tall. Before then, In those early years when I was going through all of this, my father and I did our best to overcome my feelings about this condition. You see, I may have been given this body, but my mind has been all male from the beginning. My father saw to it that I did all the normal stuff that young boys do, and I loved every minute of it. I was taught to fish and hunt along with basic survival skills at a very young age.
Over the years, I became proficient with a rod and reel. I became deadly accurate with a compound bow and, when needed, a high-powered rifle. I’m also pretty good with 9 mm Glock. Oh, and I’ve been in martial arts in one form or another since I was six. My father had already raised three boys before I showed up. I was what some people may have considered an accident, an afterthought. As my grandfather would say, I was an oops baby. But the cool thing about being that oops baby was that I had my father all to myself. Growing up, as fucked up as I thought I was, it helped to have that one-on-one time with him.
For the longest time, my parents always blamed themselves for all of my so-called deformities. My mothers' doctor had warned her that because she was older, she was 40 when I was born, she and I were at a higher risk for complications. Of course, they don't believe in abortion, so because they had allowed themselves to go through with the pregnancy, they felt that that’s why I had all these issues that I had. Growing up, I would hear my parents and grandparents often call my physical issues deformities. I heard that, and I bought into it, thinking that I was deformed.
Of course, I wasn’t and years of therapy for myself and my parents finally helped get us through those early and ugly teen years. Through those rough years, my sanctuary growing up wasn’t the church; it was the outdoors and a dojo. Martial arts were my father’s brainchild. He surmised that since my brothers were all grown, and by the time I became a teenager, he would be old, I needed something to help me. To teach me how to defend myself against the cruelty of the world…besides being proficient with firearms.
So, from the age of six till the age of thirteen, I studied Karate. Then I switched over to Taekwondo until the age of sixteen. After that, I switched to Jiu-Jitsu until I graduated high school. Finally, from high school graduation until now, I have been studying the discipline of Jeet Kune Do. What is now?
Now is me being twenty years old and in the summer of what is about to be my third year of medical school…as I was saying.
My father also tried to spoon-feed me a steady diet of macho man bullshit on how to be a tough guy. Honestly? I doubt he ever believed half of the shit that he was telling me. So you may ask yourself, why would he want to teach me those things?
Who knows, maybe he just wanted to keep filling my head with the idea that I was just a normal boy and I would eventually grow into a normal guy. Maybe he was terrified for me, and he just didn’t want me to think that I wasn’t normal, that I wasn’t a man. But over the years, I’ve learned that the real lessons that he taught me, I learned while we were out on a lake or by the banks of the river. Lessons I learned during the quiet moments in the forest tracking deer or any other game that we hunted.
It was in those moments when we’d stop and just talk...
You see, the real lessons that he taught me were to be a good person. Be kind and respect others until they do something to show you that they don’t deserve your respect. If that happens, don’t argue or fight with them, just walk away. If they won’t let you walk away, be brutal, be decisive. A few years later, he would come to regret teaching me that last part.
At the core, he wanted me to be honorable, don’t lie. Be righteous, don’t steal or slander someone’s name in hopes of making yourself look better. I could go on and on; these are just a few of the lessons that he taught me. If I listed them all, you’d probably get bored and stop reading. All the weapons training, the survival skills that I learned, and the martial arts, all of that. I’m not telling you all of this so that you think that I'm some sort of wannabe badass.
I’m telling you this so that you can understand how I was raised. To tell you that I loved that part of my life, somehow all of that stuff kept me grounded, kept me sane. Today, now, having grown into the person that I am now, I have never thought of myself as anything other than a man. I was raised to be a good man, feminine physique and all…
Through all of the anguish that this hormonal imbalance put me through, it still wasn't the hardest thing that I've had to deal with in my life. The hardest thing that I ever had to deal with, to this day, was to tell my father that I’m gay. I had already told my mother a year prior. Telling her was more of a relief than anything else. But telling my father terrified me.
I shouldn't have been scared or ever even doubted him. That's all my fault, that's all on me. I should have known that my father is a good and decent human being. It was just last year after my freshman year of med school. We had gone out to his favorite fishing hole, and the day was starting to wind down. I had known that I was gay since the early months of my senior year. Up until that time, I had no clue that I was anything. You see, for me, sex was never something that I dwelled on. My doctor said that because of my chemical imbalance, I probably wouldn’t have the same urges that most teenage boys have when going through puberty.
I had girlfriends, but they were just that, girl…friends. I never even had the urge to kiss a girl and was shocked when Lacey Stevens kissed me in the tenth grade. I didn’t know how to take it, and I’m pretty sure neither did she. It was the first and last time that a girl/woman would ever kiss me again.
The summer of my senior year, I had my first wet dream. I can’t tell you what that dream was because I can't remember it, but I can tell you that it made quite a mess. When I told my doctor about it, he had some blood work done, and low and behold, my testosterone levels had increased, barely, just barely…
What happened when I told my father about being gay?
My father sat there when I told him, and the silence was deafening. When he finally spoke, he told me that he loved me and all that he wanted was for me to be happy. And if being a girl was what I wanted, he was OK with that. When I heard him say that, and even as scared as I was, I came to life.
I responded right away in a very confident manner. It was as if I was watching myself speak because I kind of got upset with him. I was just a little pissed off. I explained to him, in a rather loud and profound manner, that I was not going to become a girl/woman. I have always been a man, I was born a man and will die a man. I had to explain to him that I had no intentions of having any kind of gender surgery.
"I'm gay, daddy. I'm not becoming a transgender woman! As a man, I prefer the intimate company of a man. Being gay doesn't mean becoming a woman. Jesus, what's with you and my mother?"
He just looked at me when I finished shouting and then he started laughing. He laughed at me! Then he grabbed me and gave me a big bear hug. He told me that he loved me and that trans-what-the-fuck ever or gay, he didn't care. I was his son, and he loved me; that was all that mattered. He was disappointed that I waited a year after telling my mother, but he was proud of me for finally telling him.
"I bet you thought I was going to disown you, didn't you, Bug..." I smiled. He's called me Bug since I can remember, and I didn't tell him, but I'm ashamed to say it: I did think he was going to disown me. Fuck it...
Where was I...?
Oh yeah, I turned eighteen the September of my senior year of high school, and I had hoped that finally, finally, I would grow in stature. I had hoped that my penis would finally fully develop. Sadly, it never did. To this day, my penis is a solid three inches fully erect and almost nonexistent when it's flaccid. It’s not enough that I have feminine features; I also have to pee sitting down because it’s just too much trouble using a urinal. Plus, it has led to some embarrassing situations.
For example, that day during my senior year, I had told myself that I wasn’t going to pee sitting down anymore. I strode into the bathroom and confidently stepped up to the urinal. After finally unleashing the beast, I started to relieve myself.
Then he walks in...
Luis Ortega walked in—he was the campus badass. The star quarterback of what would eventually wind up being the three-time state champion, football team. He took the urinal next to me. There were six other urinals that he could have chosen, six! He picks the one right next to me. It would be the first time that I would become flustered by a man.
He stood there next to me, and the difference between the two of us was like night and day. Luis stood six-three, six-four, and weighed about 200 lbs. of solid athletic muscle. Here he was, standing next to all five foot three inches of me. All was going well until I happened to catch a glimpse in my peripheral vision of this… thing, this large cock in his hand. I could feel my face start to get warm.
I was blushing and with my pale skin complexion blushing is not something I could then nor now hide!
Mercifully, I had just finished and was in the process of putting my monster cock away when he did the unthinkable. He leaned down and over towards me and gently patted my ass. I could have died right there. Instead of feeling the urge to take out his knee with a good solid kick, I froze.
“Don’t worry about that little dingily thing, killer, you still have this sweet ass.”
I quickly zipped up and headed out. I didn’t even stop and wash my hands. Thankfully there was nobody else in the bathroom right at that moment, but now I was really confused. When I made it to my college course physiology class, I sat down and discovered that I had a hard-on. Not that anyone besides myself would ever notice. I was so confused, all this time growing up and nothing. Now after my ass is patted, in the men's room of all places, I had a hard-on?? From that moment on, I had questions.
I should have been mad at him; no, I should have pissed off!! He called it a dingily thing…
After that day, I had to know, so I did the only logical thing that I could think of. I started watching porn, something that I’d never done before, ever. I wanted to prove to myself that Luis patting my ass had nothing to do with my erection. Unfortunately, as much as I tried, I couldn’t get hard with normal porn. So, I took a deep breath and clicked on a gay clip. I still remember the name of the clip.
“Best friend fucks my twink ass.” His ass, not mine, the clip. Fuck, you know what I mean...
From the beginning, I was hard. I was in awe of the so-called friend and his cock. It didn’t look as big as what Luis had been holding in his hand, but it was big enough. The twink was a smaller guy and looked to be about my height. So I’m a twink, I remember thinking to myself at that moment. But there was a difference between the twink and me. He looked like a guy. His cock was above average, and he had broad shoulders; he had a guy’s body.
I, on the other hand, had allowed my hair to grow over that summer. I had convinced myself that girls like guys with long hair. In all actuality, it just added to my feminine features. I remember one afternoon right after I’d turned eighteen and my mother telling me that I had a handsome face, that I was handsome. She wanted to reinforce my self-esteem that I was all man. A handsome man. She was being a good mother because what she should have said was that I was pretty.
Growing up, I morphed in me, and since I turned eighteen, I’ve had these same physical features. I can admit it now, but back then, I might have punched you in the face if you had told me anything of the sort. I have the face of a pretty young lady—high cheekbones, delicate facial features along with an elegant neck. I have small shoulders and a gracious back that connects to my slim waist forming a perfect hourglass figure.
My hips are curvy, and my ass was then and still is now full, round, and firm. I have the quintessential gorgeous heart-shaped ass. Because of all the physical activity that goes into my martial arts training, my legs are strong, firm, and beautifully muscle toned. But the icing on the cake was and still is my chest.
Back to the porno…
I watched in awe as the taller guy fucked the smaller, more delicate one, the twink. How the twink sucked his partner's cock and eventually how the bigger guy fucked his twink. I was startled when the camera angle caught the twink shooting cum all over his chest as he lay on his back in the missionary position getting fucked. He never even touched his cock, yet he came? I remember thinking, how? I also remember that at that moment, not only was I hard, but my little cock was also drooling a steady stream of precum. That was the moment that I knew.
I’m gay…
The days that followed were filled with research. I had to find out how that guy came without touching his cock. How was it that as big as that cock was going up into his partners' ass, there was no mess? I used Google the way I’d never used it before. Finally, it all made sense and yet made me feel so stupid, all at the same time.
I’m in my second year of med school now, but back during my senior year of high school, I was taking college-level classes to prepare myself for med school. Of course, stupid, if you stimulate the prostate, you can cause ejaculation, I would tell myself. I've since discovered that I have other triggers that can cause me to orgasm, I'll tell you about it later...
It never occurred to me that a penis rubbing over the prostate could do the same as a finger massage on the prostate. If you douche with a warm water enema before putting anything in the anal cavity, you eliminate the risk of feces, fuck me, boy did I feel like an idiot.
Finally, it all made perfect sense to me, sort of...
Every time I saw a clip of a man fucking a man that looked like me, small petite, it made me hot. I didn’t think about being the guy doing the fucking. I was enthralled with being the guy getting fucked. So, yes sir, I most definitely was/am gay, and it took me till my senior year of high school and Luis Ortega to make me realize it!
There’s one thing that I’ve mentioned but haven't elaborated on. I've been holding back…
Through all of this, I’ve left out one tiny detail about myself. The main source of embarrassment growing up with my condition was my chest. I have what is considered grade two gynecomastia. What does that mean? Let me enlighten you, I have perfectly round, symmetrically placed albeit small, perky creamy white breasts with dollar coin-sized areolas. Creamy white breasts, the perfect shade of pink colored areolas and topped off with number two size pencil eraser pink nipples...
I’ve had breasts since I first hit puberty, and by my senior year of high school, they have been as I just described. I hated this about my body because this was what everyone considered to be the deformity in my body growing up. I know now that it’s never been a deformity at all.
The hormones in my body were so out of whack growing up that they facilitated the perfect storm that caused the creation of my breasts. Understand, I don’t have man boobs. Disgusting, flabby hanging down man boobs? Hell, fuck no.
Today, if you took a picture of me and some young women my age, blocked out our heads, and just showed us topless, my small handful of breasts would look just as nice or better than the others. Again, I have no issues admitting this now. Growing up? No, hell no, I hated them. No, check that, I fucking hated them.
Growing up, my parents could have had them removed. My pediatrician advised them against it. He said that eventually, my hormones would balance out, and they’d go away with time. That never happened. When I turned eighteen, it became my decision to make. I could have had them surgically removed. I could have taken hormones, but it was around that time that I started to appreciate my life thus appreciate my body.
My attitude started to change...
Then I discovered that I was gay, and I decided to pause any decision about taking hormone supplements or having surgeries. I did continue to wear the compression shirts despite detesting those fucking shirts from hell. I couldn’t stop wearing those; I had to hide my buddies. If I didn’t, I would draw too much attention to myself. I could handle the attention of not hiding them, but the fear back then and to this day has always been that it might embolden some homophobic ass hole to say or try something stupid, and I can’t have that.
Years earlier...
In the eighth grade, the class bully thought it would be a good idea to embarrass me. He had noticed what I had been hiding because I foolishly made the stupid decision of not wearing my compression shirt that day. They weren’t as defined as they are now; they were still itty bitties, but you could still notice them. Had the fucking idiot just run his mouth, it probably would have ended there. But when he grabbed one and tried to rip it off of my chest, I snapped. I beat the boy so bad that I broke his wrist, his leg and almost crushed his windpipe!
I accidentally almost killed him...
I almost went to jail, I unwittingly exposed the body that I was trying to hide, and I put the fear of God in all of my classmates. It was years before they stopped looking at me like I was some violent freak of nature.
My father paid for the boys’ medical expenses and put a nice little amount of money in a college fund for the asshole. That last part was enough to have the father of the piece of shit drop all charges against me. Since that day, I never left the house without wearing a compression shirt, ever. It fucking sucks…
Oh, I almost forgot, senior year again. Something interesting happened, payback...
Towards the end of my senior year, I was finishing up with my final trainers' meeting. I was a trainer in the athletic department, and I had just handed over the responsibilities to my replacement. The football team was going through spring football practices, and those seniors that were going on to college ball were doing their university-mandated workouts.
Luis had accepted a scholarship to the local university, the same one that I also attend now. He was expected to join the team during the summer semester and had come in with a groin pull. In all the years as a trainer, I’d never so much as even taped his ankles. I don’t believe it was because he didn’t want me to tape him up, it just worked out that way.
