“Celebración le Pubertad: Celebration of Puberty”

Part 1 of 2:

Joseph tapped on his son’s bedroom door. “Cody, Is it alright if I come in? I want to talk with you about your birthday party.” There was no answer. Joseph couldn’t hear any movement from inside the room. He tried the door. It was locked. He knocked on the door again, a little louder. “Cody, we need to talk. Can I come in?” Again, no answer.

Joseph knew his son was up and about. He heard Cody close the garage door when he secured his bicycle after finishing his early morning paper route. Joseph banged harder on the door. Again, no response. The family had a three-knock rule. If Cody failed to respond after his Mom or Dad knocked three times, they’d unlock the door with the emergency key that was hung on a hook at the top of his doorjamb. Joseph used the key to open his son’s bedroom door for the first time since the lock was installed.

“Cody, I’m coming in. Are you alright? Is anything wrong? You didn’t answer when … I ..… knocked ….... three …….……” Joseph froze, speechless. He was standing inside Cody’s room. The room was brightly illuminated by the morning sun shining through an open window. Before him, barely six feet from where he was standing, was Cody’s bed.

Cody was sprawled out on his back with his eyes closed, listening to music on the new wireless headphones he had just purchased with his paper-route money. Joseph started to leave. He knew he should. Instead, Joseph remained entranced with the vision of his thirteen-year-old son. He knew he was biased, but no one could ever convince him that Cody wasn’t the most beautiful boy in the whole wide world.

Cody was naked. His body’s musculature was well-defined for a boy so young. Cody's natural skin tone was a lovely light brown, inherited from his mother. Cody was resting his left hand on his tummy, a finger playing with his cute innie. His right hand was stroking his four-inch uncircumcised penis. Joseph had never seen his son with an erection. At least, not since he was a baby during diaper changes.

He noticed Cody’s testicles had begun to enlarge. His scrotum was no longer tight and wrinkled. The hairless sack hung loose, allowing his testicles to drop away from his body. They were bouncing in sync with Cody’s hand as he masturbated. Joseph could see a few strands of black, curly hair beginning to form just above Cody’s penis. Joseph chuckled; he’d bet anything that Cody counted them every day.

Once again, Joseph began to quietly leave the room. And, once again, he froze. Closing the door, Joseph turned back to watch Cody speed up the pace, stroking his penis, nearing climax. Cody was moaning, enjoying the erotic sensations surging through his body. Joseph saw Cody reach down with his left hand to caress his testicles. Cody was breathing rapidly, panting. Cody’s cute buttocks began to rise up off of the bed.

Cody cried out in pleasure as his penis began to pulse. Joseph was amazed at the sight of his son’s orgasm as the thin white fluid arched into the air, only to fall on Cody’s chest and tummy. Cody’s body became limp, his hands falling to the bed beside him as he tried to catch his breath. Cody was basking in the pleasant afterglow of this ever-so-precious moment in the life of a young boy coming of age.

Joseph was still stunned by what he had been blessed to witness. He was a proud Dad. His baby boy was developing into a beautiful young man. He watched as Cody’s penis returned to its flaccid state. He would guess it was now two inches long if you included the foreskin extending beyond the tip of its cockhead. Perfection for a boy of thirteen. He turned once again to leave. That’s when Cody opened his eyes, crying out, “DAD!”

Joseph saw Cody scrambling on his belly, reaching for the floor on the opposite side of the bed to retrieve the sheet he had discarded earlier. Joseph had to chuckle at the sight of Cody’s butt greeting him with a verticle smile. Cody sat back, leaning against the headboard, now covered by his bedsheet from his neck down. “DAD! How long have you … ? Did you see me … ?”

Joseph sat on the bed next to his blushing boy, running his hand through his thick, black, wavy hair. “I’m sorry, Cody. I knocked three times. When you didn’t answer, I used the key to make sure you were alright. I didn’t mean to intrude on your privacy.”

“It’s okay if you saw me naked. We see each other naked when we go to the gym to work out together. We even shared the same shower one time.” Cody blushed, “But, Dad, did you see me … you know… do it?”

“Yes. I saw you masturbate.” Joseph saw Cody was further embarrassed. He reached over to cup his son’s chin in the palm of his hand. He raised Cody’s chin to make eye contact, “Cody, I’m sorry if that upsets you. I just couldn’t look away. It was the second most beautiful thing I can ever remember seeing in my entire life.”

“The second?”

Joseph smiled; with a twinkle in his eyes, he explained, “Yes. The only time I remember seeing anything more beautiful than what I just witnessed was when the doctors in the delivery room placed you in your mother’s arms just minutes after you were born.”

Joseph and Cody shared a tender embrace. Joseph then moved back to see Cody’s beautiful brown eyes sparkle as he sported a mischievous grin. “So, did it look like I was doing everything right?”

“Oh, Boy! I should say so! You were amazing!”

“You won’t tell anyone that you saw me jerking off?”

“No way.”

“Not even Mom?”

“Cody, I won’t tell anyone. Even your mother. I promise. It’ll be our secret. Okay?”

“Okay. Thanks.”

Joseph smiled at Cody, “Happy Birthday.” Joseph could immediately see a change in Cody’s demeanor. Cody covered his face with the sheet, not responding, “Cody, talk to me. You knew about the special celebration your mother has planned for you since last February, three months ago. Why are you still so upset?”

“Special for who? Not for me. This is going to be my worst birthday ever! Can’t we just cancel the party? You could call everyone you invited and tell them I caught a cold or something.”

Joseph reached over and pulled the sheet down to expose Cody’s face and chest. “Cody, it’s too late to cancel the party. We can’t disappoint the guests at the last minute. I’m sure they’re anxious to help you celebrate your birthday. They should be arriving around eleven.”

“Do you think this ancient ritual is for real? Or did Mom make up this whole puberty celebration to embarrass me?”

Joseph shook his head, “Cody, That’s not a very nice thing to say. Your mother loves you.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Cody, remember, your mother is a descendant of K'inich Janaab Pakal. He was the Mayan King of Palenque for 68 years. I met your mother and her family when I was on an archeological dig at the site of the lost Mayan city of Palenque. I was working on a hidden passageway found under the Temple of the Inscriptions.

“I can tell you for a fact there were rituals mentioned in the Mayan hieroglyphics and logosyllabic scripts that we discovered in our excavations—public celebrations signifying when a boy comes of age. The details of these rituals have been preserved and passed along from generation to generation. Your mother’s three brothers celebrated puberty's onset with The Celebración le Pubertad.”

“Really? My Uncles had to do this? Did Mom see them? That must have been embarrassing!”

“Yes. You can ask your Uncles when we visit them next year. Your mother wants to return to the Yucatán Peninsula for a family reunion.”

“That’d be cool. Could we visit the site of the excavation where you met Mom?”

“I’d enjoy showing you the site. It’s been fifteen years since I left the Peninsula, returning home with your mother.” Joseph added, “By the way, you should count yourself lucky ….”

Cody interrupted, “Lucky?”

“Yes. The most important challenge performed during the Celebración le Pubertad was the circumcision of the boy. It was done at the closing of the ceremony.” Cody immediately looked frightened, “Don’t worry, we’re not going to circumcise you.”

“Promise?”

“I promise. We’d never do that to you.” Joseph continued, “The boy was awake for the circumcision that was witnessed by the men of the Mayan council. If the boy cried out in pain or, even worse, refused to allow the removal of his foreskin, it was considered a sign of weakness, unbecoming of a man. His family would be shamed. However, suppose he could endure the pain and embarrassment of having his foreskin removed in public? In that case, he’d be considered a man from that day forward.

“As centuries passed, quite a few parents began to refuse to continue the ritual. They didn’t want their son’s foreskin removed. The Mayan descendants decided that changes must be made to ensure the Celebración le Pubertad's continuance. Circumcision would no longer be performed during the Celebration of Puberty. They substituted a new challenge the boy had to complete for their passage into manhood. Today you’ll celebrate your entrance into puberty by participating in the modified ritual.”

“Dad, can you at least tell me what the new challenge is that I’ll have to complete?”

“I’m sorry, Cody, but your mother made me promise not to reveal the details.”

“That doesn’t make any sense. Mom shows me that stupid thing I have to wear. Then she refuses to tell me what will happen after putting it on. You guys won’t even tell me who’s coming to my party to see me wearing that thing.” Cody paused before asking, “Dad, I really don’t want to wear that weird costume? It’d be too embarrassing. Can’t I just wear something else? Please?”

“Cody, I’m sorry. I talked to your mother about the costume when you first complained about wearing it. She said it’s non-negotiable. Hold on a minute.” Joseph left, returning in quick order with three costumes. “Your mother made some minor repairs to these costumes. They've been passed down from one generation to the next. She has to return them to your grandmother after your party.

“They should all fit you. You may need help with the leather ties. As you can see, there’s one with red jewels, one with blue gems, and one with green gemstones. They even have matching headdresses. The tips of the feathers are dyed to match the gems adorning the breastplate. You can try them on to decide which you like the best.”

“I already told you! I don’t like any of them!”

Joseph saw Cody pouting. “I understand you don’t like the costumes. Yes, it’s going to be embarrassing to be seen in it. I know you’re shy, even around your friends. But sometimes, being shy can cause you to miss out on rewarding experiences. You sort of have to balance things out.”

Cody shook his head, “I don’t understand.”

Joseph thought for a minute, then broke out in a grin, “Okay. Now, don’t you dare tell your mother I said this? Understand?” Cody nodded, “Let’s say Julie from next door wants to give you a blow job.” Cody began giggling. Joseph continued, “And you were too shy to pull your cock out to let her do it. See what I mean? Being too shy can cause you to miss out on a lot of fun!”

“Yea. I wish I wasn’t shy all the time. Maybe just some of the time would be okay. Dad. Remember I told you I’m not sure which I like more, boys or girls. I’m still confused. I like Julie, but I might like Johnny more.”

“Well, you’re never going to find out if you’re too shy to approach either of them to express your feelings. I do remember that you told me you fancied both Johnny and Julie. Do you still get a boner when you think about them in bed?” Cody nodded. “Do you jerk off thinking about them?” Cody admitted that he did. Joseph grinned, “Which one were you thinking about when I saw you masturbating?”

“I was picturing them naked, fooling around with each other.” Cody realized he was beginning to get another boner as he tried to imagine what his friends would look like naked. He adjusted the sheet in his lap.

“Are Johnny and Julie sexually active with each other?”

Cody nodded, “I was surprised when Johnny told me they fooled around with each other. Johnny said their parents were cool with it. He said that they’re step-sibs?”

“Have you ever fooled around with them? You know, like get naked with each other?”

“No. We’ve never done anything. I know you told me it was okay to experiment. I just can’t bring myself to ask either one of them.”

Joseph paused, “Do you guys see each other naked when you go to bed on sleepovers?”

“Never! Julie wears girly pajamas. Johnny strips down to his boxers to get into his sleeping bag. I just take off my shirt and sleep in whatever I’m wearing at the time.”

“Don’t you and Johnny have gym together?”

“Yes.”

“So you shower together after gym class?”

“No. Showers aren’t mandatory until ninth grade.”

“And you’re in the eighth grade?”

“Yes.”

“Let me guess, you could take a shower if you wanted to, but don’t because you’re too shy.”

“Yea. I just put my school clothes on over my gym suit and shower when I get home.”

“I shouldn’t be telling you this. If your mother finds out, I’m in trouble. I think you should know that your Mom and I invited Johnny and Julie to attend your party..”

“NO! NO! NO! I don’t want Johnny and Julie to see me wearing that costume!”

“Cody, calm down. Just think about it for a minute. Maybe, just maybe, after they see how good you look in your costume, they might want to try on the other two outfits.” Joseph winked at Cody, “I bet you’d love to have them spend the night after the party and model them for you.”

Cody grinned, “Do you think they’d really do that?”

“Well, their mother told me she knows Johnny and Julie both like you a lot. When I explained what would happen at the party, Betty was positive that Johnny and Julie would love every minute!”

“OH, GREAT! Everyone knows what will happen at the party except for me!”

“Calm down! The parents of the kids attending know about the details. Their children know less than you do.” Joseph asked, “Do you have any more questions about the celebration?”

“Will anyone that attends tell others about what happens in the ceremony?”

“Nope. We have you covered. All parents of the kids attending know about what happens at the ceremony. About the importance of carrying on the family tradition. They promised that their children wouldn’t say anything.”

“How do I know that they’ll keep their promise?”

“Because if they break their promise, their parents agreed to have your mother help them perform the same Ceremony of Puberty for their kid.”

“If that happens, I get to attend.” Joseph laughed as he agreed.

“No cameras?”

“No. I think your mother might want to take a few pictures. No one else will be allowed to use cameras or cellphones to take pictures of the ceremony.”

“Mom won’t show the pictures to anyone else?”

“Nope. Just for your Mom and me to enjoy when we get old and wrinkled.” Joseph paused, “Have I answered all your questions about the celebration?”

“I guess. So you’re saying there’s no way out of this stupid party?”

“Cody, you know that in a month, on June fifteenth, I’ll be heading up an archeological dig of the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois sponsored by UC Berkeley. Ten grad students will be accompanying me on the excavation. As I’m the head of the Archeological Department, there’s no way out of the assignment. I’ll be gone for two months.”

“I know. I’m really going to miss you while you’re gone. Every year, during the summer, you have to leave. You’re not only my Dad but my best friend. I can always talk to you about anything. I don't remember you ever making fun of me. Well, sometimes you tease me. But that’s okay. I like kinda that. I wish I was older. You promised I could join you on one of your expeditions when I'm old enough. But why are you reminding me of this now? I feel bad enough as it is.”

“Cody, this Ceremony of Puberty was a ritual that the Mayan civilization used to declare that a boy had crossed the threshold into adulthood. After completing the ritual, he was considered a man from that day forward.”

“Dad, are you saying that if I complete the ritual, I will be a man?”

“Cody, you’re only thirteen.” Joseph saw the excitement drain from Cody’s face. “However, your mother is a direct descendent of the greatest of all Mayan Kings, known affectionately by his followers as Pakal the Great. Therefore, you’re of royal Mayan blood.” Joseph saw Cody’s eyes brighten. “So it’s my opinion that if you complete the Celebración le Pubertad, the Celebration of Puberty, you will have proven yourself to be a man among boys.”

“Does that mean what I think it does?”

“Yes, Cody. If you successfully complete the entire ceremony today, your mother has agreed that you’ll be allowed to attend the dig in Illinois with me this summer.” Joseph almost fell backward on the bed when Cody jumped into his lap, wrapping his arms around his Dad and hugging him tightly. Joseph smiled, embracing his naked son, sharing a special moment.

“Dad, I’ll make you proud of me. You’ll see! I’ll do everything Mom tells me to do for the ceremony.”

“Cody, I’m sure you’ve figured out by seeing your costume that this ritual will be extremely embarrassing. Are you sure you’ll be able to do everything? Even the closure?”

Without hesitation, Cody answered, “I know I can do it. Heck, I’d let them circumcise me if it meant I’d be allowed to go with you on your digs.” Cody pulled back to look at his Dad, “Guess what? I have nine hairs already! You know?” Down there! I bet by this summer, I’ll be all hairy like you! Do you think I’ll need to start shaving by then? Can I wear a hat like Indiana Jones? That would be so cool. Can we sleep in a tent together? Do you think we’ll find buried treasure? ……………. ……………. ……………. ……………. ……………. …………….”

To his credit, Joseph listened to Cody without laughing as he rattled on in his excitement.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

“Come on, Cody, the guests will be here soon. It’s almost eleven.”

Akna was getting frustrated. She knew it would be difficult for Cody to come out of his room wearing his Celebración le Pubertad costume. Cody was very shy in front of her since he started showing the first signs of puberty.

“Mom, I told you, I’m not coming out until Dad comes home. I need him to help me.”

“Cody, I told you. Your Dad isn’t here. He rushed out of the house, saying there was something he needed to do before the party. He said that he’d be right back. I need you to open the door, so I can check to see if…. Wait a minute…. I think I hear your Dad coming up the stairs.”

Joseph saw his wife was upset, standing outside Cody’s bedroom door. “What’s wrong?”

“Cody has locked himself in his room. He refuses to allow me inside. I don’t want to use the key to further upset him. Cody insists that he needs your help.”

“Cody, can I come in?” The door opened a crack. When Cody saw his Dad standing next to his mother with two shopping bags, he opened the door to usher him into his room, then quickly slammed the door shut and locked it. Joseph was surprised to see Cody dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. “Cody, why aren’t you wearing your costume? You know everyone will be arriving soon.”

“I wanted to wait until you were here.”

Joseph laughed, “Putting it off until the very last minute?”

Cody nodded, “I don’t want to wear that thing a minute longer than I have to.”

“So you want me to help you put it on?” Cody nodded. “Okay then. We need to hurry. First, you’ll need to take everything off.”

Cody blushed, “EVERYTHING?”

“Of course. You’ve seen the costume. You must have realized you’d have to be naked.” Joseph saw Cody hesitate. “Come on, you have no reason to be shy in front of me.”

“I thought I’d at least get to keep my boxers on. Can I put on the speedos that I wear for swim meets? That’s almost like being naked.”

“I’m sorry, but no. Everything has to come off.”

Cody flopped back on his bed. “It was bad enough when I thought people might see me in my boxers. Now you’re telling me they’re going to see me totally naked. I don’t think I can do this.”

“You won’t be naked. You’ll have your costume on.”

“Yeah, Right! Why don’t you put it on and prance around in front of everyone!”

“Okay. You win. You don’t have to put on the costume.”

Cody jumped up off the bed, “Really?”

“Yes. Really.” Joseph opened up one of the two shopping bags and took out one of Cody’s favorite ball caps. “Here you go. You can wear this at the party instead of the headdress.”

Cody put his ball cap on, “Why did you have my hat?”

“Well, I thought you would perform the Ceremony of Puberty for your birthday party. If you did, I made you a promise. I needed your ball cap to make sure I got the right size.” Cody looked confused. Joseph took a large box out of one of the bags, opened it, and showed Cody a leather hat that looked exactly like what Harrison Ford wore in the ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark.’ Cody reached for it but was disappointed when his Dad put it back in the box. “I guess I’ll have to return it.” He then opened up the second bag to remove another larger hat. “I bought two matching hats. I think I’ll keep this one.” Joseph put on his ‘Indiana Jones’ hat, reaching to unlock the door.

“NO! WAIT!”

Joseph turned back around, “Yes?”

“I’ll do it. I’ll wear the costume. I’ll perform the ceremony.”

“You want the hat that bad? Despite how embarrassing it’ll be for you?”

“I’m not doing it just for the hat.” Cody wasn’t crying, but his eyes were teary. “I’m doing it because I know what the hat represents. Every summer, when you go on your digs, Johnny and Julie leave to spend time with their grandparents. It means I can go with you instead of being left behind by you and my friends. That you and I can share adventures together.”

Joseph hugged Cody, trying to comfort him. He couldn’t stand to see Cody upset. “I had no idea you felt that strongly about joining me on my trips. I’m so sorry. I guess I’ve been a lousy Dad. I just assumed you enjoyed your summers with Johnny and Julie while I was gone on my digs. Listen. You don’t have to do this. You don’t have to wear the costume. I’ll still allow you to go with me on the dig this summer.”

Cody pulled out of his Dad’s arms. “No! A deal is a deal. I’m going to do this. I’m going to be embarrassed, but it’s just for a few hours. Right?” Joseph nodded.

Akna knocked on the door. “Joseph! Is Cody ready? Ms. Burton has already arrived. She’s anxious to see Cody’s costume.”

“We’ll be ready in a few minutes!”

Cody gasped, “Oh, NO! Did you invite Ms. Burton, the nurse at my school? Joseph nodded. “Dad, the last time I went to her office was when I skinned my knee playing basketball. I had to drop my pants and sit in front of her in my boxers. I swear she was trying to check out my dick. I had to keep my legs closed and my hands over the fly of my boxers.”

Joseph grinned, “So, you didn’t give her a thrill? You know? Allow her to have a little peek?”

“Heck No! I was saved by Coach Welden when he came to check on me. While my coach talked to Ms. Burton, I pulled up my pants and sneaked out of her office to go to my next class. I’m telling you, Dad, she’s weird!”

He teased Cody, “Well, she’s certainly going to love your costume!” Cody was blushing as he nodded. “I expect you to be nice to her. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Okay, sport, let’s get started.” Cody removed his t-shirt, shorts, and boxers. Joseph couldn’t get over how handsome his naked son was as he stood before him. “Now, which costume did you decide on?”

Cody pointed at the one with the red jewels. Joseph helped Cody put on the leather leg bands, tieing them securely just below his knees. He then helped him put on his matching armbands around his biceps. The next item was the unique bone breastplate. Very similar to those worn by the Native American warriors. However, this one was shorter. It only covered the area from the collar bones to the bottom of the rib cage. The feathers and jeweled dangles extended another two inches below the breastplate. Nowhere near long enough to provide Cody with any relief from his embarrassing exposure. The final piece of the costume was his feathered and jeweled headdress.

“You look fantastic!” Joseph hugged Cody, running his hand over his back and patting him on his butt cheeks.”

“You shouldn’t have done that.”

“What?”

Cody pointed to his boner, which was now pointing straight up at his Dad. “Ever since I entered puberty, whenever anyone touches my butt, I get a boner.”

Joseph grinned, “So every time I give you a hug and a pat on your butt when wishing you a good night, you get a boner?” Cody blushed as he admitted he did. “And your mother?” Cody nodded. Joseph and Cody both began laughing.

Akna knocked again on the door, “Cody, you have to come out now. Ms. Burton is still waiting. Now, Betty Connor has arrived with your friends Johnny and Julie. You’re supposed to be answering the door to greet your guests!”

Joseph offered once more, “Last chance to back out.”

Cody looked at himself in the tall mirror hung on his bedroom door. He couldn’t believe he was saying this, “No, I said I’m going to do it!”

“Okay, I’m going to open the door. On the count of three.” Joseph teased Cody by reaching down to rub one of his butt cheeks and give it a playful spank. Cody laughed, slapping his Dad’s hand away. “One! Two! Three!”

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

“Cody! You’re so cute! Give your mother a hug!” Akna grabbed Cody before he could stop her, wrapping her arms around him. When she ran her hand down to give his butt a squeeze, Cody protested, “MOM! I’m naked!” Cody saw his Dad grinning, bending his finger over and letting it spring back up to tease him about his boner. Cody tried not to laugh at his Dad, sticking his tongue out at him.

After escaping his mother’s embrace, Cody figured he’d give it one more shot. “Mom, can’t you please allow me to put on something else? Can I at least put on my speedos?”

Akna shook her head, “Definitely no speedos! And yes, you have to wear the costume.”

“But Mom, I look stupid wearing this sissy headdress and this thing with bones, jewels, and feathers covering my chest. Besides, it itches. Did my Uncles really wear this costume when they had their puberty celebration?”

“Your Uncle Babajide and Uncle Cadmael wore the one you’re wearing with the headdress and breastplate. Your Uncle Eadrich refused, insisting on wearing the traditional one.”

Cody quickly asked, “What do you mean by the traditional one? Are you saying there are two different costumes to select from to wear for the ceremony?”

Akna nodded, “Of course. Didn’t your Dad show you both costumes?”

Cody looked over at his Dad. Joseph raised both hands in defense, “Cody, I thought it’d be a waste of time. I figured you’d want to wear the one you have on now instead of the traditional costume worn in ancient times. The other one is….”

Cody cut his Dad off, “Uncle Eadrich is my favorite Uncle. He talks to me on Skype video every Christmas. I don’t want to wear this outfit if he didn't. I want to wear the one he wore!”

Joseph tried to caution Cody, “You don’t even know what that one looks like. Are you sure that you…?”

“I’m sure!”

“Do you realize you have a bad habit of interrupting me when I’m talking?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Akna, since Cody INSISTS, why don’t you tell our guests we’ll be there in a few minutes. I’ll take Cody into our bedroom, help him switch costumes, and join you as quickly as possible.” Akna grinned, winking at him before she left them.

“Dad, why was Mom winking at you?”

Joseph didn’t answer. Instead, he led Cody down the hall to his bedroom. Joseph opened the box that they had received from Akna’s mother. “Okay, Cody, let’s get started.” Joseph untied and removed the breastplate. He then placed the breastplate and headdress in the box holding the other costumes.”

“Don’t we need to remove these arm and leg bands?”

“No, they’re also used in the traditional costume.” Joseph took out some items from the box. “Turn around so I can tie your leather headband.” Cody was facing the dresser mirror as his Dad put on his headband. Cody really liked the looks of the headband. He thought it was much better than that silly headdress. Cody began to turn back around, but Joseph had him remain as he was as he tied an elaborate choker necklace around his neck.

“This is so cool! What’s this wooden coin for?” Joseph explained the hand-carved wooden medallion hanging from the necklace pictured a symbol representing Itzamná, considered by many to be the greatest of all the Mayan Gods.

Joseph stood behind him with his hands resting on Cody’s shoulders. They were both looking at Cody in the dresser mirror. “So, do you like your new costume?”

“But Dad, where’s the rest of the costume Uncle Eadrich wore for his ceremony?”

“Cody, what you see in the mirror is the same costume your Uncle Eadrich wore. Arm and leg bands, a headband, and a chocker necklace with medallion. That’s what the boys wore for the Celebración le Pubertad as far back as the Mayan empire's earliest days.”

“You’re teasing me, aren’t you?” Cody could see his Dad behind him in the mirror, grinning, shaking his head no. “Cody was blushing, “Oh, no! You’re serious!”

“I tried to warn you, but you cut me off and insisted on wearing this costume.”

“Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. I was not too fond of that headdress and didn’t care if people saw me naked from the waist up. It’s from the waist down that’s embarrassing.”

“Cody, look at yourself again in the mirror. You’re a good-looking boy. You’re athletic and have a well-defined body from all the sports you participate in. You have a penis that I’d consider to be above average for a boy of thirteen. You’re showing all of the signs of entering puberty. Trust me on this. The girls that we invited are going to fall in love with you. The boys? Some will be jealous, and others might secretly want to fool around with you. You realize you’re not the only boy who finds other boys attractive. Right?”

Cody thought for a minute. “How long do I have to stay naked?”

“Well, the ceremony before your birthday party doesn’t last that long. If I had to guess, maybe sixty to ninety minutes. No longer than two hours, max.”

“Can I get dressed after the ceremony?”

“You could. I know your mother will be disappointed if you don’t remain in your costume for the birthday party after the ceremony.” Cody balked at that idea. Joseph added, “By the time the ritual is over, you should ‘ve gotten over most of your embarrassment.”

Cody shook his head, “I don’t think so.”

“I’ll make you a deal, a challenge. Stay as you are, in your costume, after the ritual is over until all of your guests leave. If you do that, I’ll allow you to invite Johnny and Julie over for a sleepover tonight. Tell them you have two more costumes like the one you’re wearing.” Joseph could see a twinkle in Cody’s eye as he thought of the possibilities. “Pull Johnny and Julie aside when you get a chance and ask them, straight out, if they’d like to spend the night and fool around. Then you can decide if you want to accept my challenge.”

Cody nodded, “Okay, I’ll ask them.”

Joseph hugged Cody from behind, wrapping his arms around his chest. “Then let’s go and get this over with. Your mother will be upset if we make her wait any longer.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Joseph was walking beside Cody as they neared the top of the stairs descending to the large rec room in their basement. Joseph had Cody stop before they went down the steps. “Cody. I know you’re embarrassed. But trust me on this. You look like a little boy walking with both hands covering your penis. I don’t think of you as a little boy any longer. I see before me a young man.”

Cody held his hands away from his body, “Dad. Look at me! It’s bad enough I’m naked. My cock is so hard….” Cody reached down and wrapped his hand around his boner before letting it go, “I can feel my heartbeat.”

“You’re going to be naked for a while, possibly for as long as two hours. Longer if you accept my challenge. You’ll probably have an erection for the majority of that time. There’s no way you’ll be able to keep your guests from seeing it.” Cody agreed. Joseph teased him, “Hold your head high as you stand before them. Keep your hands to your side. Look them straight in the eye and forgive them for staring at your lovely boner.” Cody and his Dad laughed, “Time to see who has arrived.”

Cody saw his mother standing at the bottom of the closed staircase. She announced to the guests that Cody was on his way down. There was the sound of applause and cheers. While the adults stood back, waiting for Cody’s arrival, the attending children were not as restrained. His mother stepped back as they rushed to the landing at the bottom of the steps.

Joseph almost tripped over Cody when he abruptly stopped a few steps from the bottom. Cody saw Johnny and Julie grinning. Behind them, he saw three boys from his scout troop. Next, he noticed three girls from his art class. Everyone was staring up at his boner. Cody was blushing as his Dad reminded him to stop covering up. When he dropped his hands, the kids all began cheering, chanting, “Co..dy! Co..dy! Co..dy!.....”

Akna encouraged the kids to return to the rec room, to where the adults were waiting, so that Cody and his Dad could join them. “Cody, since you weren’t here to greet your guests as they arrived, why don’t you introduce them to your Dad.”

Cody walked over to the first group of four. “Dad, this is Mr. Carpenter, my Scoutmaster. These guys are the scouts from my patrol. I just started sharing a tent with them on our last camping trip when we got our new four-man tents.”

Mr. Carpernter shook hands with Cody’s Dad. “Joseph, it’s good to meet you again. This boy here is my son Josh. When I explained to him about the ceremony, he insisted that he, Doug, and Ricky attend. It seems that Cody has been a bit shy in their tent at night.”

As the Dads talked, Josh grinned, pointing at Cody’s boner, whispering, “NICE! You’re bigger than me, Doug, and Ricky. I hope this means that we can start having fun in our tent at night.” Cody shrugged, unsure what to say, but accepted high-fives from his tent mates.

“Dad, this is Mrs. Anderson. She’s my art teacher.”

Mrs. Anderson shook hands with Joseph, “When your wife asked me to select three girls to attend this special ceremony, I had no trouble deciding who to bring. The entire year in class, Ashli, Misty, and Wendy have tried to get Cody’s attention. I swear, every time I turned my back, they were flirting with your cute boy.”

The girls were giggling as they pointed at Cody’s boner. Misty asked, “Can we touch it?”

Cody backed away when Mrs. Anderson interceded. “Misty! That wasn’t very nice.” Cody was relieved until she added, “A lady should ask by saying: Please, may we….”

“Cody, please, may we touch your penis?” Cody quickly shook his head no, blushing as he left the girls to introduce Mr. Welden, his gym teacher, and Ms. Burton, the school nurse, to his Dad. He had no idea why his mother would invite them to his ceremony. They didn’t bring any kids with them.

“Dad, you already know Mrs. Connor, Julie, and Johnny’s mother.” While Joseph chatted with Betty Connor, Cody took the opportunity to whisper to Johnny and Julie. “Do you guys want to sleep over here tonight?”

Johnny and Julie grinned, “Will you be wearing what you’re wearing now?”

“I will if you sleep over and want to fool around. My Dad has two more costumes like the one I’m wearing!” Both Johnny and Julie were excited.

Betty laughed, having overheard the kids whispering. Betty agreed, “Of course, they’d love to have a sleepover. But on one condition. If they have a sleepover and put on those costumes, I want a picture of the three of you posing together! Deal?”

To Be Continued …





“Celebración le Pubertad: Celebration of Puberty”

Part 2 of 2:

The rec room ran the length of the house. It was divided into three sections. One section was for exercise equipment. The second section was for games. The third section was for a home theatre. The home theatre was where the ceremony was taking place.

The theatre section had a massive eighty-inch video screen mounted on the wall. Joseph had constructed a six-foot-long altar and placed it between the screen and the seating. There were six wide reclining seats in a theatre sectional about seven feet in front of the altar. Each seat was wide enough for two small children to sit snuggly together. Joseph was standing with the other adults behind the eight seated children. Akna was in front of the ceremonial altar with a very nervous, blushing, fully erect Cody.

Akna addressed the guests. “Thank you for attending Cody’s Celebración le Pubertad or, translated from Yucatec Maya, Celebration of Puberty.

“My family is of Mayan heritage. We’re traditionalists. We continue the tradition of rituals performed back when the Mayan Empire thrived. Although I’m separated from my family living in the Yucatán Peninsula, I remain committed to preserving our cultural traditions.

“The Mayan Empire incorporated a caste system. It had an upper and lower class. The children of the lower class didn’t receive traditional schooling. A young boy at the age of four would join his father in training. Whatever his father did for a living, he would be taught to do the same. So if his father was a farmer, he joined him and learned to be a farmer. If he had a daughter, she’d be taught to do the chores of a farmer’s wife. When these children turned fifteen, they’d have a coming-of-age ceremony designating them as adults capable of working independently.

“The upper-class Mayan children were schooled by the Priests in the traditional arts and sciences. They didn’t work as apprentices to their parents. Therefore, they had a different coming-of-age ceremony centered around their son or daughter’s entry into puberty. That’s what we’ll be celebrating today.

“Before we get started, I need to ask Mr. Carpenter and Mrs. Anderson, did you confirm with the parents of the children what will take place during the ceremony? I want to make sure we have no complaints that their child witnessed anything they’d consider inappropriate.”

Mr. Carpenter laughed, “Believe me, these kids, including my son Josh, are not innocent little boys. I don’t have to look into their tents on camping trips to know what’s happening at night when they are told to turn the lights off. So no, the parents of these boys have no objections.”

Mrs. Anderson confirmed, “The girls’ parents had no objection. In fact, they thought it’d be educational for them. Sort of a precursor to their sex education class they’re scheduled for next year.”

“Fantastic. Then we’ll get started.

“The Celebración le Pubertad consisted of four challenges for the boy or girl to complete. For the first challenge, the parent would present their child to the Priests to be examined in order to verify they had indeed entered puberty. It was never revealed by the Priests or the children what took place during the examination that required several hours to perform. There were many unsubstantiated rumors, one of which I will reveal to you later. In the absence of the ancient Mayan Priests, this first challenge is now completed by arranging for the child to be examined by a doctor or nurse. Ms. Burton, the nurse from the school Cody attends, was kind enough to volunteer to examine Cody to certify his entry into puberty.”

Ms. Burton went up front to the altar with her leather bag. “Cody, I need you to lay down on the altar so I can examine you.”

Cody took one look at Ms. Burton, eyeing his boner, and quickly covered it with both hands causing the kids to laugh. “Mom, can’t you just call Dr. Marck? He can …”

Akna interrupted, “Cody, stop covering up and get up on the altar so Ms. Burton can examine you. Dr. Marck was on call this weekend and couldn’t attend. You should thank Ms. Burton for agreeing to examine you.”

Cody couldn’t believe how hard his boner was. Why now? He was blushing when he saw her staring at his boner again when he dropped his hands. Cody wanted to call this whole thing off, but he had promised his Dad he could do it. Cody didn’t want to disappoint his Dad. He’d prove to everyone he was a man!

Cody positioned himself on his back on top of the altar, his boner pointing straight up at the ceiling. Then it got worse when Ms. Burton noticed the kids leaning forward, anxious to see what she was going to do to him. “Come on kids. You can come up and watch as I check out Cody’s development.” Cody’s blushing increased as the eight kids circled the altar. The girls were beyond themselves with excitement. More than one boy adjusted his own boner as he had a chance to see Cody’s erection closeup.

“Let’s start at the top. Cody, lift your arms over your head ……….. I don’t see any hair in your armpits.” She ran her hand down Cody’s tummy and played with the few pubic hairs at the base of Cody’s cock. “I do see where you’re beginning to grow pubes. That’s a good sign.” She then took his boner in her hand and slowly pulled back the foreskin. “Your penis is certainly beginning to grow.” Taking a ruler from her bag, “It looks like your erection measures four and a quarter inches.”

Ms. Burton then examined his penis further, “It appears you clean under your foreskin. Good boy. I also see the tip is a bit wet. I assume you can ejaculate semen when you masturbate?” Cody didn’t answer, “You know, produce cum when you jerk off. You do jerk off, don’t you?” Ms. Burton teased him by stroking his boner a few times. Cody was unable to get the words out, so he nodded. This caused all of the kids to giggle. “How often? Once a day? Twice a day? More?” Cody didn’t answer, shrugging his shoulders.

Ms. Burton continued, “Your testicles indicate you’re at Tanner Stage three. They’ve dropped down nicely in your scrotum. No hair there yet, but that’s fine. Just one more thing we need to check.” Ms. Burton pulled a latex glove out of her bag and lubricated her finger with gel. “Cody, please pull your knees up to your chest and spread those cute cheeks so I can check your prostate.”

Cody jumped off the altar, knocking Misty to the floor as he fell on top of her. Joseph ran over to help Cody and Misty up, making sure they were alright.

“Ms. Burton, I don’t think a prostate exam will be necessary.”

“I disagree! I really should do a digital exam of his prostate.”

“Ms. Burton, I’ll make sure to mention this to Dr. Marck when Cody gets his annual physical. If he needs a prostate exam at such an early age, I’ll have him perform it. In the meantime, from what I gather, you’ve certified Cody has entered puberty and is at Tanner Stage three. Is that correct?”

“That’s correct.” Holding her gloved and lubed finger up in front of Joseph’s face, “So you don’t want me to perform a prostate exam of Cody?” Joseph repeated that he didn’t think it was necessary. Ms. Burton took the glove off, handed it to Joseph, then marched off, saying, “Then you don’t need me anymore. I’ll see myself out.”

Joseph asked Cody again, “Are you sure you’re alright? You look a bit flustered.”

Cody nodded, whispering, “When I fell on top of Misty, she grabbed my boner.”

Joseph looked over and saw Misty grinning. “Do you want me to invite her for the sleepover tonight?” Joseph teased Cody by giving his butt a rub and pat.

Cody shook his head, laughing, playfully slapping his Dad’s hand away. “You’re so bad!”

Joseph addressed the guests, “Sorry for that interruption. I guess Ms. Burton is a bit of a free-spirited nurse. Before she left, I was afraid she would bend me over and check my prostate.” Joseph paused while everyone settled down, “Akna, why don’t we get on with the celebration?”

Akna stood next to Cody and continued, “Once it was determined that the boy or girl was qualified for the Celebration of Puberty, the second phase began. There were different challenges for the two sexes in phase two.”

Mrs. Anderson interrupted, “So girls had to dress up like Cody to perform a ceremony when they entered puberty?

“That’s right. I wore a costume like Cody’s when I was twelve for my celebration.” Cody and his Dad were both surprised. Akna had to celebrate her entry into puberty in front of her brothers? They looked at each other, grinning.

“Boys would perform one of two tests, depending on the city they lived in. The majority of the boys would be sent out on their own to spend three days and nights in the jungle or rainforest adjacent to their city. This was very dangerous. Pumas, ocelots, coral snakes, and vipers were native to the area. If this was not possible, the Priests would create an optional test of endurance. There are no rainforests or jungles here. So I have asked Mr. Welden, Cody’s Physical Education teacher, to give Cody a short endurance test.

Coach Welden smiled at Cody. “This young man is one of the best athletes in his grade. He’s the star of his age group's intramural basketball and swimming teams. This test should be easy for him.” Coach then started, “Cody, I need you to jog in place with your knees high to get your heart rate up.” Cody couldn’t believe what was happening. His boner was bouncing up and down as he was jogging. All of the kids were enjoying the show. He was instructed to speed up his pace. Mr.Welden checked his pulse as he continued to jog. After five minutes, he was told to stop.

“Cody, I now want you to drop, and on my signal, give me as many pushups as you can in one minute. Be sure to keep your body straight. Chest all the way to the floor on the downstroke. Full extension of the arms on the upstroke. You kids watching can count them off as he completes them.”

Cody began his pushups but found it difficult to do with a stiff cock. Cody’s boner would slide on the carpet, stimulating the underbelly of his penis every time he moved to the down position. If Cody had gone any longer, he was positive he would’ve cum. When he finished and stood up, everyone laughed. They saw that he had a string of precum hanging from the tip of his boner. Cody used his finger to wipe it off. He’d typically just lick his finger. He couldn’t do that now. Not having any other options, he wiped his finger on this thigh. He noticed his coach was now snickering.

“Excellent! Cody managed to do thirty-six pushups. Good going, Cody! Now, I want you to jog in place again until I tell you to stop.” After another five minutes, Coach Welden rechecked his pulse. “Cody, I want you to give me as many situps as possible in two minutes. Make sure you don’t bend your knees. You know the drill.” Coach turned to the kids watching, “Who wants to hold his feet down while he does the situps?” Everyone raised their hands, begging to help. “Cody, you choose.” Cody selected Johnny. “Okay, kids, count them off. Cody, on my mark!”

As Cody did his situps, Johnny whispered to him, “Julie and I really want to sleep over. Can you help us put on the costumes like yours?” Cody was grinning. He managed to answer yes as he continued his situps. Cody noticed Johnny had a wet spot on the front of his shorts which were tented. Johnny realized Cody had spotted his predicament. “I wore briefs under my boxers in case I got a boner. I shot a load of cum in my pants when Ms. Burton examined you. It still seeped through. Everyone else is too interested in your boner to notice mine.” Johnny and Cody laughed.

“Cody. Times up. Good job. You managed to complete seventy-two situps. Johnny, why don’t you help your friend up from the floor and take a seat. Cody, start jogging again until I tell you to stop.” Five minutes later, after checking his pulse, “Cody, I want you to do as many jumping jacks as you can in the next three minutes. Feet together, with your hands to your side. Then feet shoulder-width, hands clapping together over your head. On my mark. Go!” The eight kids cheered Cody on as he did ninety-six jumping jacks in three minutes. He was on a much better pace to start but tired halfway through.

“Congratulations, Cody, you did an excellent job, especially considering how embarrassing it must have been. You scored above the eighty percentile of boys your age performing these exercises.” The kids gave Cody another round of cheers. “Akna, you asked me to give your boy a half-hour workout. It took us thirty-two minutes to complete the exercises.”

Joseph got a towel from the closet and a Gatorade bottle from the refrigerator in the rec room. He went over to help Cody wipe the sweat off his body and hydrate himself. While he was doing this, Akna continued, “The third of four phases of the celebration was the settlement of grievances. The Priests would send out notices to the citizens. Anyone with a grudge against the child celebrating his entrance into puberty was invited to exact a price during this part of the ceremony. They were allowed to use their choice of a cane, switch, or leather strap to punish the child. There’s no way I’ll allow that form of corporal punishment!” Cody was relieved to hear that. “Instead, anyone having a score to settle with Cody will come up to the altar and announce what Cody did that he deserves to be punished for. I’ll then tell them how many hand spanks they can give him.”

“Mr. Carpenter. Does any of your boys have any grievances to settle with Cody?”

Ricky ran forward, “Cody pissed in my canteen on our last campout!”

Akna turned and saw Cody grimacing. “Is that true?” Cody nodded yes. “Cody, bend over the altar so the guests can see your bottom as you’re getting spanked.” Cody bent over as instructed, holding onto the opposite edge of the altar to brace himself.

“Ricky, you get to give him ten spanks with your hand. Make them count because you need to forgive Cody for what he did after you finish. Ricky did his best. Being small for his age of twelve, he got a rise out of Cody, but no harm was done. Cody started to stand up to turn around, but Akna placed her hand on his back, telling him to stay in position.

“Why can’t I get up?”

“Because there is a line of kids waiting to spank you.” Cody looked over his shoulder to see the other two boys from his scout patrol lined up.

“My name is Doug. Cody unzipped my sleeping bag when I was sleeping and put a big garter snake down between my legs before zipping the bag back up.”

Josh and Ricky started laughing, “Doug peed all over his sleeping bag.” Akna saw Cody chuckling and warned him to be quiet.

“Give him ten of your best!” Doug spared no mercy, leaving handprints on Cody’s butt cheeks.

Josh was next, “I was taking a nap in my tent. Cody tied my shoelaces together while I was sleeping. Then he had Doug and Ricky join him outside. They started screaming for help. I woke up and thought they were in some kind of trouble. I stood up and tried to run to help them but wound up falling into the tent pole. The tent collapsed on me while I was trying to untie my shoes.”

Akna saw Doug, Ricky, and Josh’s Dad trying to stifle their laughter. “Okay, Josh, go for it. You can give him ten spanks. This is your chance for payback.”

After Josh finished, Cody’s butt was as red as his blush. Akna turned to the remaining five kids. “What? Cody hasn’t done anything you want to get even with him for?”

Mrs. Anderson answered for the girls. “They told me while Cody was being spanked that they only wished he wouldn’t be so shy in art class. So they’d each like to give him one spank.”

“You have my permission, girls. Line up, and each of you will give him one hand spank.” Akna could tell the girls didn’t really want to hurt Cody. In fact, the spanks looked more like affectionate pats. They really did have a crush on her son. She told them they could rub his butt cheek to make it feel better after they spanked it. Akna gave them a minute before calling on the next girl. Joseph chuckled, remembering what Cody had told him earlier when he patted his butt.

Akna turned to Johnny and Julie, “How about the two of you?”

Johnny grinned, “Julie and I have a plan. We’d prefer not to punish him now. If it’s okay, we’d like to wait until we have our sleepover with Cody.”

“Alright, Cody, it looks like you got off pretty easy. By my count, you received a total of thirty-three spanks. But they don’t count as your birthday spanking. Maybe Johnny and Julie will take care of that tonight during their sleepover.”

“Yes, Mam.”

“Cody, you can stand and turn around.” Everyone was amused when they noticed that, if anything, Cody’s boner seemed like it had grown even harder during the spankings.

“We’re almost finished. In phase one of the ritual, after Cody’s medical evaluation, Ms. Burton agreed that he was in puberty, Tanner Stage three. That qualified Cody to move on to the second of four challenges. Since we live in Berkeley with no jungles or rainforests, Mr. Welden gave Cody a thirty-minute fitness test which he easily passed. Next, in phase three, the kids present who had grievances with Cody evened the score by spanking him.

“That leaves the final challenge of the ritual. For centuries, the fourth phase was the circumcision of the male child. His foreskin would be removed in front of witnesses. He wouldn’t be sedated. If he cried out in pain, he failed the challenge. If he made it through the circumcision without issue, he was considered a man.

“Over the centuries that this ritual has taken place, things have changed. Many Mayan parents no longer wish to have their children circumcised. I know Joseph and I would never have Cody’s foreskin removed. Then there’s the sheer brutality. If I disagreed with the use of implements of torture for corporal punishment, I certainly wouldn’t agree to have my son’s foreskin removed in such a cruel, archaic manner.

“Mayan families living in the Yucatán Peninsula who continue the tradition of Celebración le Pubertad got together to discuss changes to this fourth and final challenge. It was decided an alternative to the circumcision ritual had to be offered to families who objected to its use. There was a lengthy debate. Some wanted piercings as a substitution. Others suggested tattoos. However, this still required the boy to be disfigured for the sake of the ceremony. That was unacceptable to the majority.

“Then one of the elders brought up a suggestion that didn’t require disfigurement or intense pain for the boy to endure. Remember when I mentioned that in phase one, the boys would be examined by Priests to determine that they were qualified for the ceremony of puberty? The word, although unproven, was that the priests had the boy masturbate himself until he climaxed in front of them while they took notice. If he successfully masturbated and produced white ejaculate, he completed the final step to see if he was qualified for the Celebración U Pubertad.

“Many Mayans thought this a perfect solution. No matter what one’s sexual orientation is, the ability to produce semen by masturbating has always been celebrated by boys entering puberty. Sort of a badge of honor among his peers.” Akna turned to see Cody was frightened. “Cody, I know this will be difficult for you.”

Cody shook his head; “NO!”

“Cody, to complete the fourth challenge of this ceremony, I’d like you to once again lay down on the altar.”

Cody moved to stand on the opposite side of the altar, away from his mother. He kept shaking his head; “NO!”

“Cody, I know it’ll be very embarrassing for you to do this, but I need you to complete this final challenge in front of your guests.”

The adults already knew this would be part of the ceremony. None of the children, including Cody, had any idea that this would take place. The three boys from his patrol, the three girls from his art class, along with his friends Johnny and Julie were excited. They were going to see a boy who had been so incredibly shy jerk off in front of them with his parents and adults watching. They were standing in front of their chairs, whispering to each other, praying that Cody would obey his mother.

Cody was shocked. He couldn’t believe what his Mom had just asked him to do. Joseph was pretty sure his son was about to make a run for the steps. Joseph asked everyone to give him a few minutes. He walked over and led Cody away from the guests to sit on a weight-lifting bench at the other end of the rec room.

“Dad, I can’t jerk off in front of everyone! Haven’t I embarrassed myself enough? Why do I have to do this?”

“Because it will help open up a whole new world for you. Boys your age can have so much fun experimenting with other kids. I know I did when I was your age.”

“Really? What did you do? Who did you do it with?”

“I’ll tell you all about it later. ….. All I’m trying to do is to make sure you don’t miss out on all of the fun you can have. You should be fooling around with Johnny and Julie to decide whether you’re gay, bisexual, or straight. If you jerk off in front of your friends, you will have done it all. You’d have no reason to be too shy to be naked in front of them, changing clothes, or taking a shower. You’ll have no reason to be too shy to fool around with the boys in your troop.”

“You really think the guys in my patrol want to fool around with me?”

“Don’t you remember what Josh said to you when you introduced me to your scoutmaster? I heard him whispering to you. Or what your scoutmaster said about the scouts fooling around after they went to bed? I have no doubt that they’d love it if you’d get naked with them in the tent and have some fun together.”

“But they never did any naked stuff with each other when I camped out with them.”

“That’s because you wouldn’t even let them see you in your boxers. I bet on the next camping trip, you’ll find things have changed. And did you notice how quickly Johnny and Julie let you know they want to have fun with you tonight? You will have a blast if you open up and stop being so shy! Everything you’re fantasizing about when you jerk off in bed can actually happen!”

“Dad, I don’t think I could do it in front of everyone even if I wanted to. Look at my dick; it’s trying to hide.”

“Cody, you know I’m on your side, right? I could have allowed Ms. Burton to stick her finger up your butt to check your prostate with all of your friends watching. I stopped her and stood up for you.”

Cody nodded, “Thanks, Dad. I really appreciate you stopping her.”

“Then I need you to trust me on this. I’ll talk to Johnny and Julie’s mother, your art teacher, and your scoutmaster before you begin. When you come out and sit on the altar, just watch for my signal. If I give you a thumbs up, I promise all of the kids will be on your side. Just put on an awesome show for them like you did for me this morning.”

“You really think I did that good?”

“Cody, you were amazing!”

“I can do better. I usually cum a lot more. I had jerked off before I did my paper route and again behind some bushes in the park when I stopped to take a piss before I got home. So you saw my third cum after I got up this morning.”

Joseph grinned, “Well, it’s been over four hours since I saw you jerk off. At your age, you should be fully loaded and ready to go by now. I want you to give everyone one helluva show.”

“I’ll try. I still think I’m going to have trouble doing it in front of everyone. My dick has shrunk even more just thinking about what I’m going to try to do. My cock looks more like I’m a little seven-year-old instead of turning thirteen.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

“Kids, I want all of you to stay in your seats. You're already very close to the altar where you're sitting. Cody is embarrassed to be doing this in front of you. Just be patient and give him some encouragement.” Joseph turned to Cody and gave him a thumbs up. Akna returned to give Joseph the shopping bag he had asked her to get from their bedroom. He removed the Indiana Jones hat he had bought for Cody from the bag and put it on Cody’s head. “You’ve already proven to me you’re ready to join me on my trip to the Cahokia Mounds. Now show your friends that you’re no longer a shy little boy!”

Cody took off the leather hat to check it out before putting it back on. He asked his Dad to remove his headband so the hat would fit properly. “Thanks, Dad.” Cody gave his Dad a hug before leaning back on the altar's edge, half standing, half sitting. If he was on his back on top of the altar, he’d have to take off his new hat. NO WAY!

The girls were seated in the first two recliners, with Misty and Ashli sharing one chair while Wendy had a chair to herself. They were squirming as if they had an itch ‘down there.’ The following two chairs in the middle were occupied by Johnny and Julie, each having a chair to themselves. They were directly in front of Cody. The last of the six chairs had Josh in one, Doug and Ricky sharing the other. He noticed all three had tented shorts. Josh was unconsciously running his fingertips over his boner. All of the adults stood behind the kids.

Cody blushed when he heard all eight kids encouraging him. The girls were squealing with excitement while telling Cody how cute they thought he was. The boys from his troop cheered him on while admitting they weren’t as brave as he was. Cody noticed Johnny and Julie with mischievous grins. He wondered what they were thinking.

When Cody started off, he closed his eyes. He tried to imagine Johnny and Julie sitting in front of him naked. After a few minutes, he could begin to feel his penis was responding—the little tickle from deep down growing more intense. Then it stopped. Back to square one.

Cody reached down with his left hand to stretch his sack to be sure his balls could hang low, spreading his legs wider to allow them to move freely as he stroked his cock. He loved the way it felt when his balls moved while he jerked off. Cody was working as hard as he could to get a full boner, but he just couldn’t get over the reality that so many people were watching him. His Dad was cool. No problem. He’d already seen him do it. He was proud that his Dad thought he was amazing. But then there was his mother! Teachers! Coach! Scoutmaster! Classmates! Tentmates! His best friends and their mother!

Cody kept a steady pace. He was still only about half-mast, but it did begin to feel good. Cody had more foreskin to slide over the head of his cock than he usually did because it was now shorter, only three inches long instead of four plus. Cody recently discovered tickling his butt hole felt amazing while he jerked off. There was no way he could do that now. Not with everyone watching. Cody also enjoyed playing with his nipples while he jerked off. Again, not in front of everyone. No Way! So he began playing with his innie with his spare hand as he stroked his cock like he did this morning. That always felt nice. Unfortunately, not even that helped him get hard.

Above the boys' and girls' chatter and cheers, he thought he heard his Dad call his name. Then he thought he heard Johnny and Julie’s mother do the same. Cody tried to ignore them. He didn’t want to see the kids staring at him as he jerked off. He’d prefer to keep his eyes closed. But then he heard both of them call his name again. He decided to open his eyes to see why his Dad and Mrs. Connor were calling his name. He’d just look up at them standing behind the chairs, not down at the kids sitting in front of him.

When Cody opened his eyes, he first noticed his mother talking to all the other adults off to the side. Everyone except his Dad and Mrs. Connor. His Dad and Mrs. Connor were standing directly behind Johnny and Julie, both of them grinning at Cody. Cody’s Dad pointed at Mrs. Connor. Cody saw Mrs. Connor look over to make sure the other adults were still engaged in conversation with his mother. She then raised her hands to show Cody Johnny’s boxers and Julie’s panties. Joseph caught Cody’s attention and pointed down at Johnny and Julie.

When Cody looked down, his cock instantly became rock-hard. Thirteen-year-old Julie was sitting with her feet positioned wide apart on the chair seat. Her skirt was placed carefully so that only Cody could see her naked slit exposed to him under the cover of the dress. He’d never seen a naked girl. Julie was beautiful. She had only a dusting of fuzz above her slit, allowing Cody a full view of her treasure. She had a hand under her dress, rubbing something at the top of her slit with her finger. He wouldn’t find out until his sleepover about how a girl masturbates.

Then it got better when he looked over at Johnny, who was sporting a silly grin. Johnny was sitting just like Julie, feet on the seat cushion, wide apart. The leg hole of his baggy shorts pulled to the side, exposing his boner and balls openly to Cody. Johnny, at fourteen, was slightly more developed and circumcised. Cody guessed he was maybe an inch longer at five inches and a little thicker. His pubes were like a half-inch high mustache above his cock. Johnny’s cock was unseen by anyone except for Cody, Julie, and Josh. Josh was in a chair next to Johnny and was able to look over to see what Cody was staring at. Johnny didn’t care. He was playing with his cock to entertain Cody.

Cody kept looking at his friends while he was stroking his boner at a steady pace. Now that he was enjoying seeing his friends exposed to him, he was really in no hurry to cum. Cody was enjoying the show they were giving him. Cody slowed down his strokes when he felt he was close to cumming, then sped back up when it was safe to do so. He’d later find out that what he was doing was called edging.

He was successful at delaying his orgasm for ten minutes. Then, being inexperienced at edging, he went too far and couldn’t stop. Cody quickly removed his Indiana Jones hat, putting it on the altar beside him. Cody sped up his pace and frantically pumped his cock as fast and hard as he could, his balls bouncing rapidly in their hairless sack. Then, after another thirty seconds, he cried out, “I’M CUMMING! I’M CUMMING!”

Cody didn’t even realize all the adults had returned in time to see his cock explode. The first two streams of cum shot out of his cock and splashed under his chin, running down his neck. The following four streams of cum went all over his shoulders, chest, and nipples. Another half dozen small squirts covered his abs, dripping off his body to the floor as his boner remained hard. Everyone watching Cody was amazed at the volume of cum he produced. Then again, they had never seen a boy complete the Celebración le Pubertad!

The boys and girls were in awe, complimenting Cody, and applauding. Johnny and Julie started it off again, with all of the kids joining them, chanting as they clapped their hands: “Co..dy! Co..dy! Co..dy! Co..dy! Co..dy!.....”

Betty was enjoying a cup of coffee with Joseph and Akna. “It’s so quiet.”

Akna agreed, “I think the kids really enjoyed the party after Cody finished the four challenges. Cody remaining in his costume, naked, was a pleasant surprise. I know after today, I may never see him naked again.”

Betty disagreed, “You might be surprised! Oh, I doubt he’ll be an exhibitionist. But after today, I’d have to believe he’ll be less shy when it makes sense to be naked. Maybe a trip to the bathroom for a shower without getting dressed. A skinny dip in your pool to cool off on a hot day. He certainly enjoyed swimming with the other boys after the ceremony.”

Joseph nodded, “I wasn’t surprised by Johnny after he exposed himself to Cody. However, I was surprised when Josh, Doug, and Ricky went skinny dipping with Cody and Johnny. I found out later from Mr.Carpenter that all of the boys in his troop love skinny dipping when the opportunity avails itself. All except for Cody. He was happy to see Cody finally loosen up and join the others.”

“Betty added, “Julie wanted to join them, but I didn’t think it’d be a good idea for her to swim naked with the other adults present. I really don’t know the teachers or the scoutmaster.”

Joseph laughed, “The girls from Cody’s art class certainly enjoyed watching them! It’s a shame we never thought to have them bring swimsuits. I know they would’ve loved to join the boys.”

Betty asked, “I wonder what’s taking the kids so long?”

“It takes time to tie all of the leather straps in place. I was surprised but happy Cody wanted to try to dress Johnny and Julie in their costumes.” Joseph was curious, “Changing the subject for a minute. When I asked for your help to give Cody a boost, knowing he was having trouble masturbating in front of the kids, I thought you’d just have your kids flash their underwear. I never thought you’d have Johnny and Julie remove them!”

Betty laughed, “Well, first off, my kids have been raised to be unashamed of their bodies. I raised Julie as a single parent after my divorce. Living by ourselves, we never worried about being naked in front of each other. We were both girls. Johnny was raised by his Dad as a divorced parent. They also enjoyed running around naked together in their boys-only house. When we got married, the kids were eight and nine years old. They just assumed there was nothing wrong with being naked in front of each other. They still don’t. They fool around with each other but know not to go too far. Julie is still a virgin.

“Then you have to remember, I had already agreed they could have a sleepover and dress up in the same costume Cody was wearing. All I did was have the kids offer a preview of what would be on the play ticket during the sleepover.”

Akna laughed, “Well, it certainly worked. I need to have Joseph perform the ceremony. He’s never cum that hard for me!”

“I was thinking the same about my hubby.”

Joseph was about to protest when he was interrupted, “Dad! Can you help us with Julie’s costume? I was able to tie Johnny’s costume in place. I’m having problems with Julie’s. She’s not as big as us.”

Joseph looked at Cody’s two beautiful friends standing next to him. Johnny and Julie had a lovely tan from head to toe. From his conversation with Betty, Joseph suspected it was because of the Connor family spending “naked time” outside together.

Cody handed his Dad the pieces of Julie’s costume, one at a time, as he tied them in place. It was a little more challenging to adjust to the smaller size of the cute little girl. She was so petite. Her breasts were the size of half lemons, with tiny nipples with an areola about the size of a nickel. Her hips and buttocks were more boyish than girlish but were beginning to show a hint of transformation. Her vulva was still in the early stages of puberty. Julie was so adorable!

He knew this would be a special night for Cody with two friends to share experiences with, both of them being very attractive. Joseph was anxious to find out from Cody tomorrow which of the two friends he found himself more attracted to. Which way did he lean towards? Julie was cute, but Joseph suspected Johnny would win Cody’s heart.

Julie resorted to her ballerina training when he finished putting on her costume. She performed a series of the cutest pirouettes, showing everyone her new costume. Julie wasn’t a bit embarrassed by her nudity. She continued to dance for everyone’s delight before ending with the sweetest curtsy. Everyone applauded.

“Dad, can we have the basement all to ourselves for the night as you promised?”

“Yes. I already put some leftover pizza, birthday cake, and sodas in the rec room’s refrigerator for you to have later on. There’s no lock on the door, but we promise not to come downstairs. If you need anything, just come upstairs and let us know.”

All three children gave Betty, Akna, and Joseph a loving hug. Julie added a kiss on their cheeks. The proud parents enjoyed holding them close, savoring their unabashed innocence.

The kids started running off to go downstairs before Betty stopped them. She took out her iPhone and reminded them she wanted to take photos of them before leaving to go home. She took two solo shots of each of the three kids and a half dozen with them together in different poses before they escaped to enjoy their night of discoveries.

After the kids disappeared downstairs, Joseph turned to Akna, “Now, you never told me the Celebración le Pubertad was for boys AND girls. I think it’s only fair you tell Betty and me about your experience. You said that you were twelve years old when you wore the same style costume that Cody and his friends are wearing?”

Betty chuckled, “Girl, don’t you dare leave out any details!”

Now, it was Akna who was blushing.
