The Crazy Idea Didn't Work!

The Crazy Idea Project failed three days into it. I was just weak. I could have tried harder, but I found a new blog - All Masculine Male - and after the feast on that site, I just decided to dump the Crazy Idea. Now, not having sex has been relatively simple to accomplish. But, not looking at guys online, no masturbation - that was really tough.

The longest I went without jacking off was sixteen weeks, When I was in Army Boot Camp. The new recruits were given a pill called Soft Peter. I can tell you - while in twelve weeks of Basic Training, I had no sexual thoughts whatsoever. I did have one nocturnal emission at the six week mark, which I was prepared for. For one, none of the guys in Boot Camp were attractive or interesting, except Nastasi, who looked like Scott Reeves - the guy who played Ryan McNeil on The Young and the Restless. For another, there was no real privacy. Every movement was tracked, and there were no dividers for the urinals or toilets.

When I got to Advanced Individual Training (AIT), I had practically forgotten about masturbation until two weeks into it when I had my first erection. AIT was a lot more exciting in the eye candy department. My Senior Drill Sergeant reminded me of a muscular Gerald Albright and one of the white Drill Sergeants looked like Bruce Willis with a very muscular body and LOTS of muscle ass trying to break out of those BDU's. Thinking back, both of those guys were genuinely hot to me. I wonder where they are today, 20 years later.

I had privacy in AIT - I shared a room with three other guys, so when they went to Boston for the weekend, I had the room to myself. And so, I rediscovered the joys of masturbation. As I moved up in my AIT studies, I was eventually moved into a two man room, then my own private room.

Then, I flunked out of the MOS I signed up for (33T), so I was transferred to another company for my alternate MOS (98J). THAT was when things got exciting. I met my first friend in the Army, the guy who would become the prototype of the kind I guy I tend to get "bromantic" with.
