Regrets - High School Wrestling etc.

[PrinceCory]

I'm envious!


No one who was a captain of any sport we played in PE wanted me, either. What happened is this: each captain would take turns choosing a boy for his team. At some point, when the only boys left were hopeless athletes, the teacher took over and assigned the remaining boys at random. I was always in that "assigned at random" group.

Sounds just like me back in school.

Discover missed opportunities too late? This happens at least 8x a week. I write guys off as "maybe"s or "just another soft effeminate straight guy who had no influential male presence going up" only to find out they've slept with half the men in my social circle.

Some of my friends in highschool were wrestlers. I was a swimmer. I used to go to their wrestling matches and cheer them on. Also there was a lot to look at!!

Other than gymnastics, which I excelled in, and Dodge ball where I was tops (once I was last man standing on my team against most of the other team, and I brought them all down), I was not a fan of PE class. In my sophmore year, when the wrestling module arrived I was dreading it. A few weeks before the module arrived one of our star wrestlers mentioned he'd like to be my wrestle companion for that module - he wanted to know my weight class - then he modified his weight so we shared the same weight class. Since he was on the team, when he asked the coach for me to be his wrestle companion the coach agreed. He assured me that he'd teach (coach) me on moves, though when we had class competition, he'd go all out to win. And, yes, he did teach me moves, allow me to throw or pin him during classes, and as he promised - there was no way I could compete when he went all out. Since he was on the wrestling team, I started attending wrestling competitions - he won all the way to state every year, winning state in his class 2 of the 3 years we wrestled. I was in band and orchestra, so he began attending our concerts and musicals. I now realize he had an attraction for me and he was doing what he could to get me to acknowledge my attraction to him - our wrestling matches were sweaty with lots of humping and I could feel his hardon pressing against me. We didn't interact outside of school, though he got his buddies in football, and wrestling to "protect" me during the school day when they were around me (a band of kids liked to beat me up everyday). Being older and wiser today, I wish I had responded to him back then - he sure made wrestling more palatable, even something I looked forward to. I keep wondering, only if...

Great story, Qosmonauty! I also wish I had responded differently to my classmates in PE class. In hindsight, I could have beaten all of them. I really wish that I had been bold enough for wrestling and to be on the football team.

Superboy69 - I was not athletic in many respects, particularly wrestling, football, softball. I was ok in volleyball, terrible at golf, but excelled in gymnastics and as I mentioned, Top Dog in dodgeball. My HS had a gymnastics module in PE (which most of the guys hated), but other than the Iron Cross on the rings, I could do all the "tricks" and nail my landings. When I was a Freshmen in college (also no gymnastics team) I made a visit back to HS for a concert honoring my Senior year ensemble - my coach knew I'd be present and he came up to me saying that the HS now had a gymnastics team, and if I were still in school, he thought I'd have been one of the stars - made me feel pretty good. Looking at the band and orchestra I asked, "How?" and he said, something would have been worked out so I could be in band, orchestra and gymnastics, even swimming (since I was and am a pretty good swimmer). I still wonder what might have been regarding Mark, the wrestler, if I'd picked up on what I now realize were many vibes and signals he was sending my way, sigh. I should mention, I was one of the youngest in each grade of my High School years, so behind in physical (and social) development compared to the other boys - that was because I entered school in New Mexico which at the time I started first grade began school at a younger age than the rest of the country, if I'd stayed in NM we would have all aged together, but everywhere else I was always the youngest, and usually the tallest. Knowing you here on JUB I have trouble believing you lacked confidence during your HS days, you exude confidence now.

If only I hadn't been such a closeted jerk in my HS years, I could have been fucked by our primo wrestling guy...or fucked him. He was so over the top homo and I wasted all my chances.

I wish I could apologize and turn back the clock... if for only a little while.

/\ But, then, those hot guys who drooled all over the wrestling mats and eachother would be drooling all over us and our 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton bedsheets and pillow cases. We can't have that. At least, I can't.

I was in hs in the mid 70s and safely closeted but had I been just a wee bit more adventurous there were opportunities. The first time another guy grabbed my nuts was during a football drill my Freshmen yr. In the drill you were carrying the football and as you ran thru other players kneeling down they were supposed to try and make you fumble so everyone is grabbing and slapping at the ball and someone grabbed my cock and nuts briefly. It was a good opportunity to ask the guy who followed me in the drill if anyone grabbed his nuts just to start a conversation but that never occurred to me.
The first time anyone grabbed my ass was in the showers after football practice but with 5 guys under a single shower head I couldn’t tell who it was and I really wanted to know but since I couldn’t be sure who it was it ended there.
The first time I saw a real porno (a college professor of mine once defined a real porno as one in which it didn’t matter if the film was running forward or backwards and this film fit that criteria) was in a basement with more than a dozen 14 and 15 yo all with raging erections but no one ever said or did anything about it. (Looking back a silent film montage of just the faces of those guys watching that porno being good would have been hysterical)
Today’s high schoolers are exposed to so much more porn than I was and I believe as a result they experiment far more than dudes I grew up with. Shoot I didn’t even think of my asshole as a point of pleasure until I hit college but kids today see it in porn and so are more likely to experiment with it.
It’s why conservatives like to keep people ignorant as you can’t try what you are unaware of.
