When I was in high school I was a gay black male nerd and I learned quickly that I had to hide from everyone in order to survive. It was a stressful time for me as I had to figure out who I was and who I wanted to be while suppressing my true desires and feelings. One way I dealt with the stress and confusion was through masturbation.
At first, I was hesitant to experiment and explore this aspect of my sexuality. I thought it was something that only “bad” people did and I was scared of doing something that would make me look bad. After some research and deep reflection, though, I realized that pleasure and exploration was natural.

I even started to experiment with different types of sex toys and lubricants, which added a whole new aspect to my solo exploration. My sessions became longer and my emotions more intense.
