Hello readers and potential readers.
This is an off and on project I've been working on for some time. To summarize, it's the story of two best friends named Brent and James that discover masturbation together in high-school. Over the course of several stories, we are introduced to a handful of other characters that make their way into their journey of sexual exploration. At this point in the story, Brent and James are apart in their respective colleges and find themselves pushing their sexual limitations and indulging in their curiosity. If that kind of thing appeals to you, I hope you enjoy this entry.

Part 1
Brent took the cool air of the early morning into his lungs as he reflected on the current state of his college life. His grades were holding steady with a little wiggle room here and there. The extra credit projects that he treated as required assignments made his packed schedule bearable. All in all, everything had been going positively, without a hiccup: nice and boring. He was keeping his head down and as winter arrived it was looking like he would continue along this trajectory until spring. Unfortunately, a surprise visit from a dorm mate from down the hall introduced some potentially complicated obstacles.
In his small dorm room the previous night, Lucy pulled up a popular porn site on his laptop and played an amateur movie in which Brent partook in group sex. There was no denying it was it him. He couldn't deny it. His best friend's sister and her college roommate took turns using every trick they knew in order to coax him to orgasm using nothing but their hands and mouths. After about ten minutes of well lit video and in front of the lens of a steady camera man, they succeeded. Now, it was available for the world to see and Lucy knew about it.
Brent was expecting the worst, but Lucy had other ideas. As if it was a story he might have read in an issue of a Penthouse magazine in his dad's ancient collection, she wanted nothing more than to satisfy her uncontrollable sexual desires with him as her instrument. It was quick but enjoyable. Afterwords, she insinuated that this arrangement would need to be available in perpetuity in order for her to keep his secret.
He supposed a number of obvious factors would have made this a punishment. Luckily, the only real downside was timing. Brent found Lucy incredibly sexy and couldn't risk his secret to become public, and he had no objections to either point. She was just down the hall, so there was a convenience factor. However, she was practically a stranger to him and he wasn't sure she would be able to keep this secret, or any secret in general. For all he knew, she was telling every person that crossed her path that she personally knew the star of a leaked amateur porno movie.
A vibration in his pocket snapped him back to reality. He pulled out his phone and read the awaiting text message which indicated that the class he was currently headed to was cancelled. His morning had suddenly become free. He turned on the spot and headed back to his dorm. He hoped Lucy would be there. He needed to talk to her. He thought about every scenario as he made his way across campus under a honey colored canopy of trees, almost oblivious to everything around him.
While lost in thought, Brent climbed the concrete steps and pushed though the front doors of his dorm. He took the elevator up to his floor and found it quiet, everyone seemingly away at class or running errands elsewhere. He walked down the hall and debated knocking on Lucy's door, but he would be at a loss for words if her roommate answered. He heard nothing on the other side, so he went back to his room. He sat for a bit and turned on the television in a futile attempt to let daytime programming distract him. Before long, the grumbling in his stomach became too hard to ignore so he headed down to the cafeteria to find something to eat.
The large cafeteria was filled with the scent of every possible variation of breakfast items all at the same time. Depending on one's level of hunger, it could smell quite good. In Bren't current state, it smelled intoxicating. He loaded his tray with as much as he could fit and stepped out of the serving area to see Nick flagging him down.
In that moment, Brent remembered Nick catching him the night prior as he dried off post-shower masturbation session. The following event with Lucy almost completely erased the memory of their brief encounter. At the moment, Nick didn't appear as if he was very embarrassed by it, maybe a bit shocked but not quite embarrassed. Brent's natural inclination would be to quickly find an exit but thought back to his conversation with James and decided to stick around. If he was lucky, he might find out if Nick was in fact Lucy's source for the leaked video.
"Hey man, sorry for last night." Nick apologized after Brent sat down at an empty chair across from him..
"It's cool, man. No biggie." Brent replied as he settled in.
"It was late, I had my headphones in, I didn't even think anyone else was in there." Nick awkwardly explained.
"Yeah, I thought I was alone too. I usually come back after midnight and have the place to myself."
They each took sips from their drinks. The clinks of metal utensils on porcelain, hushed conversations, and inoffensive pop music from the speakers filled the air.
"So, what's your major?" Nick finally asked. His attempt to break the ice to relieve some of the tension was welcome.
"I dunno. I was thinking business, but I'm not sure." Brent explained. He wished he had more to contribute to conversations about his major, but he really had no clue. At this point, he was just happy to have the chance to explore his options. Whether it be Business, History, or something he didn't even realize he enjoyed yet: he was open to all possibilities. Hopefully, it would become clear to him sooner than later.
"I'm undeclared, too. I figure I'll have to decide by the end of next semester maybe." Nick said.
"Yeah, I hear you. So, how long have you been here?" Brent asked, referring to the off campus dorm in which they both resided.
"About three semesters so far. Thinking about maybe getting my own apartment in the summer, but I dunno." Nick replied while pushing food around his plate.
"Cool. Did you know the guy that had my room before me?" Brent asked. This wasn't a topic he ever thought about too much really, but figured Nick might be able to fill in some lingering questions considering his time here.
During his first week in the room, he discovered the air conditioning vent cover by his desk was removable and inside was a couple of relatively current porno magazines hidden inside, which he gladly added to the small collection of explicit contraband that he himself stashed away in the unused luggage deep in his closet.
"Yeah, actually. A guy named Jeff. He transferred last semester." Nick replied.
"Cool, you knew him?"
"Yeah... Jeff and I... kinda had a thing for a while." Nick said timidly.
Brent raised his eyebrows at this. Homosexuality wasn't a big issue for him and he anticipated that he'd eventually meet some gay people in college, he was just caught off guard at how casual Nick was about it. From external appearances, Nick appeared to be straight or at least nothing stood out about his appearance to indicate he might lean one way or the other. There was nothing obvious about his sexuality, but Brent supposed that was the case for most people. He felt a twinge of curiosity at meeting and possibly becoming friends with someone completely out of the closet.
"We kinda dated when I got here. It didn't last, obviously" Nick explained.
"Ah." Brent said, not really sure how to respond.
"I hope that doesn't bother you?" Nick asked.
"What? The gay thing?"
"Yeah."
"Nah. It's cool with me. You liking guys doesn't change me liking girls, so go for it. More power to you. If you're happy, I'm happy for you." Brent answered honestly. In his limited sexual experience, Brent and his best friend James experimented a bit, but he still considered himself heterosexual. Looking back on it all, he framed it as being opened minded. He wanted to maintain a nonjudgemental perspective and let things fall where they may. He understood, out of context, some of the things he had done in his own past might be considered sexually questionable, but that didn't weigh too heavily on his mind. His friendship with James was as strong as ever and their sexual escapades did not diminish it one bit. If anything, it brought them closer together. From his perspective, life was a series of experiences and he was just living.
"Okay... cool. It's all pretty new for me, really. I figure this is college, right? I might as well experiment while I have the chance. Maybe I'm bi, maybe I'll decide I'm straight after all, maybe... who knows? I dunno..." Nick trailed off. He looked at Brent, his plate, around the room, and back at Brent.
"My friend back home said that to me too." Brent said.
"Says what?"
"College experimenting stuff."
"He said you should experiment?" Nick asked.
