I was in a car accident the day after I turned eighteen. I was with my friends, one of whom had just gotten her license. She was driving on the freeway and a car beside us blew a tire and spun into us. I was in the passenger side up front, where the car hit us. The next thing I knew I was in the hospital, lying on a bed and unable to move.
I found out I had broken one leg and cracked the other. It wasn't too serious, but I wouldn't be able to walk for a while. My right arm was also badly bruised, to the point that it felt broken and I could barely move it. But the most unusual of my injuries was my penis. Yes, I said my penis. Somehow I had damaged the opening where blood flows in to cause an erection. Whatever had happened, it made my penis almost twice the size. Imagine my embarrassment when a doctor and a female nurse were examining me. And when the doctor had to explain my injury to my mom.
I guess it wouldn't have been so bad if the doctor was telling my dad, but I didn't have one. My parents had divorced years ago. And I was an only child, so my mom would be the only one at home with me, to take care of me. I foresaw some awkward situations.
When the doctor was alone with me, he started to explain my embarrassing injury in more detail. He told me the sponge-like tissue in my penis had expanded, as a result of my injury. I had trouble understanding that one, and the doctor didn't know if it would be permanent or not. He tried to add a little humor to lighten my mood, adding the obligatory penis joke I supposed was required with an injury like mine.
But he also said that he was concerned about something that might happen as a result of the sudden change in my penis. Apparently since the part that opens up to allow blood to flow in was damaged, I could experience erections at any time, regardless of my state of arousal. He said I wouldn't have control over it, so I shouldn't be embarrassed if it happens. He was going to explain this to my mom so she would know what to expect and not be embarrassed. I was going to be wearing a gown for a while, so I wouldn't be able to hide it.
As if that wasn't bad enough, he also said, a bit nervously, that there were catalogued instances of related injuries where an erection was followed by pain, unless the erection was 'tended' to. If my testosterone level was high for too long, as it would be from a prolonged erection, then the pain would start. I was stunned as he told me this. Even he was a bit uncomfortable explaining to me that I would have to relieve myself whenever I had an erection. Completely embarrassed, I reminded the doctor that I was right-handed, and my right hand was injured. I wouldn't be able to service myself.
He seemed amused by my situation, as I guess I would be if I wasn't in it. He told me I was going to have to get someone to do it for me. I didn't think I could be any more embarrassed, but now I was. I told him it was just my mom and me. While trying not to offend any religious or moral beliefs I had, he asked if I had a girlfriend. I told him no, and he said that I would have to allow my mother to do it.
I just stared at him shocked. He said it was either that or a nurse, or intense pain. And he didn't think he could find a nurse to perform this kind of 'care'. I understood his situation, but my own mother jacking me off! He saw how uncomfortable this made me, and he said he would try to broche the subject with some of the nurses he knew. But I should consider letting a family member do it, since it was a matter of my well-being.
He gave me some medication that would temporarily numb my groin. I waited awhile for the medicine to take effect, and my mother came in a few minutes later.
"How are you feeling?" she asked. I could hear the awkwardness in her voice. The doctor must have explained everything to her.
"Okay, I guess," I said, not able to look her in the face.
"The doctor told me what's going on," she said nervously. "I want you to know that I'll do whatever it takes to make you comfortable, and I don't want you to be embarrassed about anything. You can't help what has to be done."
"Yeah, but…did he tell you what I have to do?"
She nodded. "Yes, he told me. And I know you won't be able to do it yourself. So whatever you decide is fine."
"It's too embarrassing. Having to have someone…do that to me."
My mom touched my face. "Don't worry about it, hon. It's strictly medical, you can't help it."
"He said he didn't think he could find a nurse to do it."
My mom smiled. "Yeah, well, having a stranger do that is no worse than your mom doing it, right?"
"I don't know."
"Look, let me tell you how I feel about it. It's nothing I haven't seen before, or done. And even if the doctor finds a nurse to do it, which I doubt, what happens if you still have this condition when you come home? Your hand might not be healed up."
She was right, either way I was going to have to have someone do it, and what if I got an erection when my mom wasn't here at the hospital? I would have to have a nurse do it here, and my mom do it at home.
"Just think about it," my mom said.
Soon she left, and after a few hours the doctor returned with a nurse. It was the same one who had been examining me earlier. She was an attractive thirty year old brunette with blonde highlights, and there was an odd glint in her eyes when she entered the room.
"This is Stephanie," the doctor said. "She was here earlier with me."
"Hi," she smiled.
"I've discussed the situation with her," the doctor said. "And she has agreed to care for your needs."
I was really embarrassed, and Stephanie saw this.
"Why don't you leave us alone so we can talk," she said to the doctor.
He nodded, and left the room. Stephanie locked the door so no one could come in. She pulled up a chair and sat close to me.
"I know this is embarrassing for you," she said soothingly. She had a warmth about her, making her very pleasant to be with. "I have to admit, I've never encountered this kind of problem before."
"Yeah, I bet," I said, strangely comforted by her presence.
"The doctor explained everything to me, and you know that certain things need to be done, for your own good."
She put her hand on my arm, gently rubbing me. She was very good at her job.
"So if anything that I do makes you feel uncomfortable, and you want me to stop, you can tell me."
"I'm sorry you have to do this," I said.
"Don't be, please. The doctor made everything very clear, and I'm here to help you."
"Have you ever had to do anything this weird before?"
She thought for a moment. "I don't think so, but I've always kept an open mind when caring for patients."
"Do you have a husband…you know, would it make him mad that you're doing this?"
She smiled. "No, I'm not married. I don't even have a boyfriend right now, but just between you and me, I've had quite a bit of experience with male genitals."
She winked, making me laugh.
"Has the medication worn off yet?" she asked.
"I don't think so, I haven't felt anything."
She lifted my gown, revealing my crotch. She couldn't help but smile a little.
"Nothing happening down here," she said. "Although I have a feeling you're going to enjoy the aftereffects once you're healed up."
"What do you mean?" I asked, playing along.
"A guy your age, with a tool like that. You're going to do some damage with that thing."
I laughed. "I can't help it."
"Almost makes everything else worth it, right?"
She left my gown raised, which I thought was a bit strange but I felt very comfortable around her. She stared at my bloated organ for a few moments.
"Well, we should talk about what I'm going to do," she said after a while.
I swallowed. "Okay."
She looked me in the eyes. "What are you comfortable with me doing?"
"Uh…well, I guess…you know, whatever needs to be done."
"How do you usually bring yourself to orgasm?"
I felt nervous suddenly when she said those words. I had to describe a private act to her. I couldn't find the words.
"Do you usually grip the skin, or run your hand over it?" she asked with a straight face.
