During the next few weeks, Jimmy continued to play with his small 
organ as he had seen
his older brother do while on the phone with Julie.  He loved the 
feelings that is produced,
but had still not experienced the climax that the books spoke of and 
that he had seen (and
heard) Peter enjoy.  Even so, he was beginning to love being a boy. 
 He found the idea of
having a girl like him and want him new and amazing.  He was 
starting to feel very
attracted to Kate, who was a grade above him.  Because of the strict 
divide between
fourth and fifth grade, he had little or no hope of “going with 
her”, and the six graders
called it.  

Still, he liked to be around her, and she seemed to tolerate his 
company.  Unfortunately,
Jimmy began to suspect that his best friend Ben was also interesting 
in Kate.  On the one
hand, Jimmy knew that he should not be jealous and fight with a good 
friend over a girl,
but on the other, he couldn’t help but worry that Ben posed a major 
threat to his future
with Kate.  Ben was the same age, but three inches taller.  In fact, 
he was the tallest,
strongest guy in the fourth grade.  Jimmy had noticed when they 
changed for gym class,
that Ben’s tighty whities were filled out much more than his own, or 
any of the other boys
in the class for that matter.  He suspected that Ben was already on 
his way to becoming a
man like the book described, and Peter had unknowingly illustrated. 
 Jimmy feared that it
would be impossible for him to overcome an opponent more masculine 
and mature than
himself.  Still, Kate seemed to like him enough to let him around 
her group, something
that Ben was forbidden from doing.  

Ben liked to be a tough guy.  He had short brown hair, cut military 
fashion after his carrier
army dad.  He liked to swagger around, being the king of the fourth 
grade playground. 
Most of the other boys did not like him very much because of his 
attitude, but Jimmy had
been friends with him since kindergarten and wanted to stand by his 
friend.  But Ben did
not like his smaller friend’s flirtation with a girl he wanted for 
his own, so he was
determined to impress Kate.  Being in the fourth grade, the best way 
he could think to do
that was by being tough.  

That day, Kate asked Jimmy to join her and four of her friends for 
tag on the play ground. 
Jimmy agreed right away, and being the only boy, felt sure that he 
would win.  This would
greatly raise him in the eyes of Kate, he was confident.  He was 
chosen to be the first one
“it.”  Of course, Jimmy decided that Kate should be his first prey. 
 He peeked when the
girls ran off, and saw Kate run towards and old tree at the far 
corner of the sandy
playground.  At once, Jimmy headed for the tree.  He felt a rush of 
adrenaline, like a great
cave hunter after his female prey.  He toyed with the fantasy of 
taking her back home with
him after tagging her and making her his.  She would rub his chest 
and admire his
maleness.  Jimmy smiled at his fantasy.  He couldn’t wait to be as 
old as Peter.  

Jimmy got to the tree, but there was no sign of Kate.  She must be 
hiding behind, he
decided.  With a leap, he dashed behind the thick old tree and 
grabbed out.  Sure enough,
Kate was there, and the two rolled out into the sandy ground.  Jimmy 
had grabbed her by
the arm, and she rolled over him once before coming to rest beside 
him.  When Jimmy hit
the ground, he felt his hard little pipe bend in his jeans.  He felt 
so alive and excited, but
his second thought was to make sure Kate didn’t see.  She laughed, 
not noticing his
condition.  “you peeked you jerk,” she said.  “No I didn’t,” Jimmy 
reflexively responded.  

Just then Ben ran up.  He had been watching from the other side of 
the playground.  When
he saw Jimmy rolling on the ground with a girl he considered his, 
that was too much.  He
might be a friend, Ben decided, but he had to be taught a lesson.  
Jimmy had just gotten
off the ground and began to brush himself off when he felt a violent 
push against his back. 
He went down hard, hitting the fence of the playground before coming 
to rest at Ben’s
feet.  Kate, who had been on the ground, jumped up at this and 
looked shocked at Ben.  

“Why did you do that, you jerk?” she said.  

Ben just stood over Jimmy with a smirk on his face.  “He knows why,” 
he said to her. 
“You want to come over to where I’m hanging out?” he pointed to the 
other corner of the
playground.  

“No,” Kate said, looking down to see if Jimmy was all right.  

“Come on,” Ben said, taking Kate’s arm.  

Jimmy, who was still dazed, looked up from the dusty ground just in 
time to see Kate slam
her knee into Ben’s crotch.  “Uhhgg,” Ben gasped, his face covered 
with a look of
confused pain.  Before he could do anything, Kate had struck again. 
 Her knee pounded
into his tight jeans again.  Kate felt the soft contents of her 
boyish target compress under
her hard knee.  At the second impact, Ben bent sharply.  His hands 
where now cupped
between his legs.  Jimmy stared into his eyes as his friend fell to 
his knees.  Ben opened his
mouth, but only a gasp escaped.  Now on his knees, his hands cupped 
under his male
body, Ben was face to face with the friend he had pushed down on the 
ground a moment
before.  Jimmy watched as tears streamed down Ben’s red face.  The 
boy rocked back and
forth as dirt blew into is short army-cut hair.  Kate’s friends had 
by this time become
aware that something had happened and run over to see.  

Kate leaned down and pushed Ben over.  He limply fell onto his side, 
his hands still gently
holding his tender young balls.  “Oh, god, my sac,” he panted as the 
impact with the
ground jostled his balls in his pants.  

“Don’t ever touch one of my friends again,” Kate yelled in his face. 
 “I know how to deal
with you weak boys.”  The other girls burst out into giggles.  Then 
Kate pushed Ben again
as he continued to cry.  “Yeah, go on and nurse your pathetic little 
parts.  I’m out of
here,” Kate said.  With that they all left Ben rolling in the dirt, 
the pain from his injured
boyhood only now starting to ease a bit.   

Ben was stunned by what he had witness.  He frankly did not 
understand it at all.  Kate
had only hit Ben twice, but he went down without any fight at all.  
As he walked back,
Ben hear several other girls format he class talking in hushed 
voices.  “Yeah, and then
Kate kneed him where it counts,” one said.  “No way,” came a 
giggling reply.  “And he
fell down holding them, just like Julie said a boy would.  He even 
started crying!” 
Another girl chuckled and said, “I got to try that out on Jason the 
next time he gets sassy.” 
Then, they walked on.   Jimmy was still dazed, but he was starting 
to put the pieces
together.  It had been Ben’s nuts that had hurt him.  If that was 
true, then all boys had a
weakness that no girl had.  He thought back to what he had seen in 
Peter’s closed, to his
older brother’s big, darker colored, mature sac.  He shook his 
head--no way, it can’t be
true.  “I’ll bet Peter would get hurt if he got hit there,” he 
whispered to himself.  

Later that day, as the boys started to get dressed for gym class, 
Jimmy noticed that Ben
came in a little late.  Several of the other boys snickered as he 
walked by.  He sat down on
the bench and started to undress.  When he was wearing only his 
white T-shirt and his
tighty whities, Lee, one of the boys that hated the swaggering Ben 
the most, walked up to
him.  As Jimmy, like all the other boys, turned to watch the 
exchange they all knew was
coming, he noticed again how the front of Ben’s undies puffed out 
more than his own, or
any of the other boys.  Lee stood in front of Ben, who was trying to 
maintain his tough
attitude. 

“So, I heard you got bet up by a girl today Ben,” Lee said, to the 
snicker of the other
boys.  Lee smiled; he was starting to feel lucky.  “Yeah, I heard 
that they hurt your little
balls.”  

Ben’s face turned red, and he started to get up to face his 
attacker.  But as he did so, Lee
swung his arm down and thumped Ben square in the white bulge between 
his legs.  Lee
felt his middle finger come into sudden brief contact with a dense 
orb in the white fabric
and knew he had struck home.  Ben literally squealed.  He fell to 
the floor on his hands
and knees, but within a second, his hands were over his youthful 
bulge, guarding the
source of his future manhood from another hit.  As he moaned, Ben 
though about how
Kate’s knee had hurt.  But it was nothing compared to being thumped. 
 Even though Lee
had hit only one of his nuggets, the waves of nausea were 
overwhelming.  He just wanted
to die, or at least for his nuts to fall off--anything to stop the 
pain.  He was crying again,
moaning softly, “Oh god my nuts...oh my fuckin nuts.”  As he rolled 
over on his back, he
stared up at the boys standing around, laughing at him.  Jimmy was 
there, laughing with
them.  

As gym came to an end, Jimmy stayed behind to put away the 
basketballs for his teacher. 
He was in a hurry, not wanting to miss any of the action that might 
take place between
Ben and Lee.  Ben had been quite and standoffish from everyone 
during gym, but that
would change as soon as his nuts felt better, Jimmy was sure.  

Jimmy was suddenly jerked out of his thoughts by an arm around his 
arms and chest.  “So,
you think you can laugh at me and play around with the girl I want?” 
a voice said.  It was
unmistakably Ben’s.  

“Hey Ben, I.....” but Jimmy never got a chance to finish.  

“I thought we were friends, I guess not,” Ben said.  And with that, 
he swung his arm
around the shoulder of the smaller boy and his clinched fist 
impacted hard on Jimmy’s soft
eggs.  Jimmy hacked a cough as a wave of pain and nausea rose up 
from between his legs. 
In only his loose gym shorts and underwear, there was no tight jeans 
to help cushion the
blow.  He squeezed his eyes tight; all he wanted was to slump down 
to the ground, his
legs could not hold him up, but Ben’s arm held him in place for what 
seemed like an
eternity.  

Then, the bigger boy released him. Jimmy fell to the ground like a 
sac of potatoes.  His
hands cupped his precious little balls, but nothing seemed to stop 
the waves of pain.  

“How do those family jewels feel, Jimmy?” Ben gloated.  “I guess you 
won’t laugh at me
anymore.”  With that, he left.  Jimmy just stayed down.  His legs 
were too weak for him to
try to stand.  As the pain started to subside, all he could do was 
moan and try to breath. 
Now he understood.  He, just like Ben--and every other boy, could 
never stand up to this
pain.  The sex book he loved to read joked that men are ruled by 
their balls, well, when a
guy’s balls say stay down and hold us, that is all a guy can do, he 
decided.  Still, even as
he came to the realization, he couldn’t envision Peter holding his 
crotch in pain, unable to
move.  The concept was just to much--not Peter.

Still, Jimmy had learned one thing that day.  It is not always good 
to be a boy.
