Jane walks into the emergency room and there sitting in the corner is her son with a cast on both hands. “What happened?” James asks her son Mark.
“I’m fine but I broke both my wrists” and lifts up his hands to show her. “I was running some wire and slipped off the step ladder and tried to break my fall but I just broke my wrists instead.” Mark explained to his mother.
“As long as you are not hurt too badly I guess it was a blessing then.” She tells him.
“I have to wear these things for six to eight weeks but having July and August off won’t be so bad either.” He says.
For the next two weeks Mark and Ashley, his older sister, hang out at the pool. She had just graduated from Southern and was going on-line looking for jobs but also enjoying the summer off too. At 5’3 and barely 106 pounds she was petite yet very attractive. She always thought she was cute but something happened at college that was making her doubt herself. Hanging out with Mark was helping restore her confidence. They had always been close and she trusted him dearly.
“Mom, I am having a problem with pain in my lower abs area, I think I better go see DR. Graham.” He tells Jane.
“I’ll call tomorrow morning and make an appointment.” Jane says. She wonders if he may have hurt himself more than they thought originally.
Sitting in the examining room waiting for Dr. Susan Graham to come in Mark can feel the discomfort throbbing. Dr. Graham examines him and asks some questions which make Mark uncomfortable such as how often did he masturbate before the accident. After a while she looks at him and explains that since his wrists are broke and he cannot masturbate, his testicles are filling with fluid that normally would be removed when he ejaculated but since it has been two weeks already gone by, his body is responding to not being able to ejaculate. She assures him that he should be fine but his testicles will swell at times.
“Hi Jane” Susan says to her old friend. “Have time for a drink after work. I want to talk to you about Mark. He’s OK but I would like to talk in person plus I need a drink.” Susan says.
“Blue Balls and swelling of the testicles” Jane says after listening to Susan explain what is going on with Mark. “Can he hurt himself at all?” Jane asks.
“The only concern is that he is so young and it could cause damage to his testicles and possibly affect his being able to father a child if his sperm count is too low.” Susan explains.

“What has to be done then?” Jane asks.
“He needs to ejaculate about two or three times a day in the beginning at least. At his age the recovery time is so rapid that he could easily ejaculate five times a day.” Susan says.
“But how can he…” as she realized Mark cannot masturbate Jane stopped in mid-sentence. “What about a nurse?” Jane asked.
“I don’t think you are going to find a nurse who will be willing to jerk off a twenty year old four or five time a day and if you did find one it is going to cost a small fortune.” Susan said.
“Are you saying I should do it?” Jane asked.
“Well, either you or Ashley. I know it sounds strange but it is not incest but just masturbation. No one ever has to know and I would never tell anyone.” Susan said.
“I can’t believe you are telling me to jerk my son off three or four times a day.” Jane said getting upset.
“I don’t know what to tell you. If he had a girlfriend this would not even be an issue but he doesn’t and I am worried about down the road in case he has problems that can be avoided.” Susan does her best and calms Jane of her fears of taboo behaviour.
As she sits and listens to Jane talk about her fears of having to masturbate Mark or have Ash do it, Susan thinks of what is going on in her own home between Sandy and Tommy, her son and daughter who are the same ages as Ash and Mark. Just the other night she caught Sandy coming out of Tommy’s room around mid-night. Sandy said she had to ask Tommy something but it didn’t explain her being naked and Susan suspected for some time now they have been having sex together.
“Ash and Mark are close like Sandy and Tommy and neither one are dating anyone right now so in a way they can help each other with their frustrations.” Susan said.
Jane’s jaw almost dropped when her best friend suggested that it was almost normal for a brother and sister to have sex together. She didn’t say anything but now she wondered to herself that maybe that is why Sandy and Tommy are always together.
Susan can see the reaction in her friend and says “Well, I’d rather have them be safe than with all the STD’S and HIV out there.”
“Guess I never thought of it that way,” Jane responds.
“Ash, we have to talk.” Jane and Ashley talk for about twenty minutes. Ashley seems not that shocked by the whole problem which kind of surprises Jane.
“Well, I guess we can look at it like therapy. If his back or leg were affected we would not have a problem with it so I guess I could try and help.” Ashley says.
Jane is so relieved how at ease Ashley is taking the idea of masturbating her brother for the next six weeks. Deep down Jane is starting to get excited a fights the feelings that are coming to the surface. It’s been five years since Dave died and she has not been with anyone since. She can feel her old lusts coming alive again but is fighting them now.
Jane and Ashley sit on the couch opposite Mark and Jane starts telling him how DR.Graham had talked to her and what has to be done. Mark listens and finally stands up and says “Let me get this straight, you guys are going to take turns on me. I don’t think so. Do you know what would happen if this ever got out and I mean for all of us.” Mark gets up and tells them that he appreciated their concerns but he would deal with it.
For the next three days Mark feels the pains worsen and although he did not like the idea his mother and sister presented he started to come around via the pain pushing him along.
