My sisters had lots of friends, who often slept over. As I approached puberty, I became very aware of girls, getting more and more excited at the idea... of their being naked in the same house, and seeing them in their nightgowns, bra-less. I frequently masturbated in the old bathroom while girls bathed in the other, which was off the girls' room, knowing I was not two feet away from a naked girl, the tub being just on the other side of the wall. Finally, I got an idea-- one that paid dividends.

Remember, I love you, too,” I said.She smiled and hugged her bear tight. I got up and said goodbye to Nancy and promised I’d call and asked her to please call if there were any major changes or if they needed me for anything. She said she would and I headed out to my car.Carie.
