1960's edited version

The Kinsey Report

Documented male

Sexual patterns,

Normal, abnormal.


Masters and Johnson

Published their findings,

Libraries, bookstores

Sold out of copies.


The 'Boy's Manual,'

Handed to Matt by 

His father, was all 

Parts, without machines.



Brad attended camp,

Cabin counselor

A high school senior,

With deep tanned, dark haired


Body in shorts, who

Could be heard chatting

After lights out with

Other counselors.


Crept in, dropped shoes, shorts,

Shrugged out of t-shirt,

Climbed beneath sheets in

Moonlit underwear.



George, his father, got

Metal baskets from

YM attendant,

Took off all their clothes.


Grabbed towels, dropped off their

Baskets, hooked towels by

Open showers to

Rinse before swimming.


A man quickly turned

His back in corner,

Ivory ™ soap bar

Lathered between legs.



Fraternal swimming

For competitions

At Y ditched swimsuits

To reduce the drag.


Modern male athletes

Thereby continued

Traditions fostered

By Olympic Greeks.


Rob had been told this

By Coach Pete, suits were

Worn out in public,

Recreational.

















Locker room empty,

Pool still closed, he found

A Speedo left on 

Hook to dry, lifeguard


Showed up, took locker,

His suit under his 

Jeans. He crossed to free

Stall with suit, shut door.


Lifeguard entered next 

Stall, shut door, sat down, 

Speedo slipped to his 

Ankles, took dump, flushed.




{Gym class ended with

Coach holding clipboard}
