Overflowing was my cup of thankfulness that I had a room of my own a sufficient distance away from the family, so that any enthusiastic grunting and bedspring squeaking sounds would not lead to sudden visits from suspicious parents – though in fairness, I spent that much time playing computer games in my mid-teens that if my old man had known what I was doing he probably would have slapped me on the back the next morning and bought me 20 Marlboro for the post-coital nicotine infusion, such would be his delight that I had actually realized my dick had other uses besides micturition.
