As a second-generation Chinese immigrant, I was expected to study hard and get good grades. But instead of hittin’ the books, I spent every spare second I had at the high school gym, lifting weights, shooting hoops, and fueling my obsession with basketball. Growing up in Brooklyn, my role models were Jeremy Lin and Yao Ming, two of the greatest Chinese basketball players of all time. I aspired to join their ranks and one day play in the NBA.
At age 18, I had gotten pretty decent at basketball. Even though I was only 6’1” and somewhat skinny, I was lightning-quick with deadly jump shot. I spent hours in the gym honing my shot so that I could score at will over much taller opponents. I also loved dribbling and driving past other players—leaving foes flat-footed as I accelerated to the rim. I was therefore thrilled when I received a scholarship to keep playing ball in college.
During high school, I never quite fit in with any group. Because I cared more about basketball than school, I was shunned by other Asians. But because I was Chinese, I was never fully embraced by the white and black jocks on the basketball team. Instead, I sorta found myself stuck in between, with few close friends and no dating prospects in sight.
I didn’t even bother with junior or senior prom and was still a virgin at graduation. My only prayer was that college girls might show more interest in Asian guys, or at least a relatively fit basketball player like me.
The summer before college, one of my only friends and fellow basketball players, Collin, invited me camping with some of his friends. Collin was our shooting guard and my right-hand man on the court. A few inches taller than me, he stood at 6’4” with light brown hair and blue eyes. His slender but muscular frame made him look like an All American boy next door, and Collin had plenty of friends to prove it. His best friend, Thomas, was our team’s small forward; and he also hung out a lot with James, our power forward. The four of us played together on the basketball team, but I had honestly never been close to them. Although I saw them at practice, they typically never invited me to any of their parties.
I had also strangely never seen any of them naked. While most high schools in the past had open showers, ours were closed, where everyone had a private stall to shower. Although I often saw my teammates in jockstraps or towels, I never saw what they were packing underneath. Because I always changed facing my locker, I imagine that my teammates had never seen my penis either. All they could see was my tight, muscular ass, which they could already check out anytime I wore a jockstrap.
I assumed my penis was average-sized from what I had seen in porn. While some porn stars were bigger, others were smaller. But I had never compared with anyone in person, and none of the girls or guys at my high school had ever seen my junk. I hadn’t even scored a handjob or blowjob before—I was sadly a complete and total newb to sex.
With college only weeks away, I was ready to change that. But I was also excited that Collin invited me on this camping trip. Collin told me that he, Thomas, and James were all going on the camping trip with their girlfriends. Collin told me that I too could bring a date on the trip, but I honestly had no one to invite.
Accepting Collin’s invitation, I decided to go camping with my jock teammates and their girlfriends. We had all turned 18 and were enrolled to start at different colleges a few weeks later. But Collin hoped we would have one “last hurrah” at his family’s rural campsite in upstate New York.
Because I was the only guy who didn’t bring a girlfriend, I felt like the odd man out. But Collin insisted that I attend and invited me to stay with him and Lexi, his girlfriend, since they had a three-person tent.
