All through high school, I'd been obsessed with rowing. It was my primary mode of exercise and the sport that I watched religiously. There was just one problem—I wasn't tall enough or strong enough to be much of a rower myself. At 5'5" and 130 pounds, I never grew into the man and rower that I hoped to be. Instead, I'd been relegated to the role of coxswain: the short guy who gives orders at the front of the boat. As my high school classmates rowed in state championships and national competitions, I helped them keep time while barking orders of encouragement. It was the closest I could come to this sport without being a full-fledged rower myself.

The summer after high school, when I was 18, I went to a rowing camp at the University of Sussex in Whales. And hot damn, the guys there were fucking gorgeous. At this point in life, I was still figuring out my sexuality, and trying to determine if I was gay, bi, or straight—but it was virtually impossible to ignore the godlike bodies of these Adonis rowers. And the best part of all was that I was in the position to stare at them all day while bossing them around and giving them orders.
As I mentioned, I'm a pretty small dude, and my name is Drake. At 5'5", I often stand half a foot to a full foot shorter than most of my teammates. Although my abs and arms were toned from the rowing machine workouts I did alone, I didn't have the pounds of muscle that other guys packed on. Instead, I often weighed 50-80 pounds less than other guys on the team. Finally, I didn't have the wavy blond hair and piercing green or blue eyes that so many rowers seem to have. Instead, I had slightly curly brown hair and brown eyes with a strong jawline and a boy-like face.
The night before rowing camp, I met my roommate, who was a massive guy from Germany: Charles von Lassendorf. At 6'5" and 200 pounds, he towered over me by a foot and outweighed me by 70 pounds. Charles had blond hair and blue eyes and was chiseled as much as any rower I'd ever seen. His body was so imposing that it was hard to believe he was just 19.
Charles was a bit offended that he was sharing a room with the coxswain. Since he was one of the best freshman rowers, he thought he'd be paired with another star athlete on the team. But instead, he was stuck bunking up with me.
The first night that we roomed together, Charles came back from the shower wearing only a towel. Although I'd been on my phone scrolling through Facebook, I couldn't help but look up at him and stare. His torso had two massive pecs and deep, chiseled abs—easily a ten-pack by any measure. Charles noticed me staring and was clearly a guy who liked to show off. As he looked right at me, he lowered his towel, revealing his godlike legs and big, German dick. It hung down around 4 or 5 inches and was fairly thick, with a light brush of blonde pubes above his uncut cock.
Charles caught me staring and smiled—thinking that he was the big man on campus. He was clearly used to being one of the larger-dicked guys back in Germany and had no qualms with being naked around his teammates. Back in Berlin, I'm sure the girls (and maybe guys) were lining up to suck his massive German cock. But here in Whales, Charles was in for a rude awakening that he might no longer be the biggest guy in our dorm room.

Charles slept that night in the buff whereas I kept on my boxers and t-shirt. He probably thought I was shy and afraid of showing my "small" penis, when in fact I was just tired and wanted to go to sleep. Early the next morning, around 5 a.m., I woke up to shower. To my delight, the showers in the dorms were totally open, with eight showerheads gathered around two polls in the center of the room. But sadly, there was no one else in there since I had woken up before the crack of dawn. Some of the rowers may have showered the night before, whereas others might be sleeping in before our team breakfast at 8 a.m.
