Hey people.
I didn't expect this post to cause the variety of opinions or debate that it has. For all those responding thanks once again. I've replied to some of you personally. These have largely been to the views that were measured and in some way I based my decision on.
I can attest that my original post was not some fabrication. I have no vested interest in bothering people with bollocks. My friend spent the first 2 weeks post his accident in hospital after which he elected to continue his recovery with his doctors' consent at home. Some of you have deigned to express or profer disbelief at his injuries or that he is at home. I'm a medical doctor myself and can attest that some bones do break and even if they are multiple fractures, can be at managed at home with outpatient follow up. My mate's mom is a retired and overzealous ex nurse and my friend chose to return to our home city for his recovery. Nothing like being mothered I suppose.
Quite rightly he is minimally mobile: a tibial fracture, bilateral Galleazi fractures and bilateral phalangeal fractures. And yes, he has to face to at times ask his mom to clean him up. To say that a usually fiercely independent engineer has suffered shame and embarrassment would be to understate. With my help I've managed to have him avoid asking his mom for silly things like clean up stuff. I've known this man for 17 years and I've seen him at his best and worst. It was never an issue to help him.
I was taken aback by the sense of trust he displayed in asking me to help with what he needed. Craved even. I can't say I have been in a similar situation. But I have been a man for a while and understand urges like hunger and sexual drive. He was shy and blushed on the request and had the sensitivity to give me time to think it over. I didn't ask my other male mates as I felt discretion was needed so thus chose this forum.
I chose to help him. I have helped him and it wasn't such a big deal. We talked it over as two close friend can. It was in the privacy of his own room while his mom was shipped off to ogle on Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. My friend even again offered to let me say no. I thanked him and said it's ok.
Some Internet porn was used, a fleshlight was purchased and we laughed at the end. My friend was grateful and relieved. We talked like two good buds joking even about it. No, I was not aroused by him. I watched the porn and was aroused by it. That I couldn't help and my mate was aware of it but said nothing. I did not jerk off.
I've been curious about perhaps trying something with a guy. It will not be with this friend. I've stomached up the courage to cam online with a bloke via LPSG recently but that us as far as things have gone.
I'm sure a torrent of comments possibly even judgement from people will follow. Really I merely sort measured, mature responses.
Thank you all.
