... about my problem. What I didn't realise at the time, was that it would be the start of a journey neither of us would forget. It was about nine thirty and just before we locked up for the night, I decided to bite the bullet and talk to her. "Hey Emma, can I ask you something?" “Sure,” She said. We walked into the anteroom off the kitchen and she sat on the old three seater vinyl lounge. She patted the seat beside her and invited me to sit down. "Okay, so what’s on your mind?" "It’s a bit embarrassing," I said. "Hey Tony, we know each other well enough now to be able to share things.” "Yeah Emma, but this is different." "Why?" "Well, the fact is I’m doing something I shouldn’t." "What’s that?" I told her about the booklet and the chapter on masturbation. I told her how much it worried me because the book said it was sinful and harmful. Emma looked at me and I could see she was shocked, unsure how to respond. "Maybe You should speak to Father McLean about it Tony." "Speak to the Dean?" Astonished she would suggest it. “You'd be surprised," Emma said, “both he and Erin are extremely understanding." "Yeah, but surely not about that sort of thing?” "I’ve talked to Erin a lot about very personal things.” "You mean about sex?” “Yes!” She said. “As I said earlier, they both have open minds to sexuality." “I couldn't ask Father McLean, Emma.

I asked. “I guess I am. What made you think I wouldn’t do it too?" "I never really thought about girls masturbating. I mean my mates do it, but girls?” "Well, as you know I’m an only child. But a few years ago Mum helped an old school-friend out and allowed her sixteen year old son Timothy to board with us for a while. They were from the bush and he was a promising runner, so she wanted him to get proper training. And that was how I found out that boys do it because I caught him a couple of times. In a strange way, catching him helped me a lot too.” “How?” “Well, the first time was about two years ago when I walked into his bedroom late one night to borrow a CD. I didn’t knock before going in and, while it was the wrong thing to do, I wasn’t thinking about him doing that. Anyway, he was lying on his bed naked, you know, stroking his penis.” “What did he do?” “He was really miffed. Very angry! He didn’t speak to me for a week or so. And from then on he started locking his door.” “How did you feel about seeing him doing it?” “It’s a bit embarrassing to say this, but it really turned me on. Sometimes at night I’d fool around with myself in bed thinking about it. It felt really nice playing around but nothing dramatic happened. You know, back then I didn't even know it was possible to have an orgasm. It ...
