* * * * *Hibernation Syndrome
by Zynder
I’m telling this story from secondhand information, because I don’t
remember any of it personally. The events I’m relating; I’ve collected
over the years from family and friends. You know, the stories that
older adults tell each other when they get together, about remembering
their childhood and the things they got up to. These recollections
would be extremely humiliating if I could remember them. As it is they
are highly embarrassing even though I can’t remember any of them. They
all stem from me having a sleeping disorder. I call it Hibernation
Syndrome. I don’t know what the medical profession calls it, but
basically it is where you sleep so soundly that you don’t wake up for
any reason until it’s time for you to wake up. One of the associated
side affects of this syndrome is that you sleepwalk. It is this side
affect that was noticed early on in my boyhood.
Mom tells
stories of finding me asleep at the kitchen table when I was six. I
would be sound asleep wearing my cowboy pajamas sitting in my usual
place as though I was waiting for breakfast. She tells the story of
finding me standing in front of the trash can with my pajama bottom to
my ankles peeing as if I thought I was in the bathroom. According to
her, this happened a lot over my boyhood. I would also get up and get
completely dressed for school and be sitting in the living room waiting
for time to leave. I walked to school back in those days. Mom always
contemplated that I probably would have left and went to school if I
could get out the door, but mom always secured the doors with butcher
knives, so the doors couldn’t be busted in. This safety feature mom
used to keep us safe, also seems to have kept me inside when I was
sleep walking. It’s a good thing, because no telling where I would
have ended up if I could have gotten out of the house.
Mom
says getting me back to bed was never a problem, because she would just
tell me to go to bed and I would go there. I would get back in bed
with my brothers wearing whatever I had on and lay down and continue
sleeping. I do remember waking up the next morning wearing school
clothes a few times and wonder how that happened. At the time, I just
chalked it up to my brothers playing a trick on me.
We lived
in a three bedroom house, back then. My parents had their room. My
two sisters had their room and us three boys had our room. Every room
had a full sized bed. My sisters slept together all the way into high
school. Us boys slept together also through High School. Well, me in
High School and them in Junior High. My brothers are twins and are two
years younger than me. Because of their birthday being late in the
year they started school when they were seven instead of six. This put
them three grades behind me. One brother failed the first grade and the
other failed the second grade, so that put them four grades behind me,
when at nine-years-old they both went into the second grade together.
At which time I was eleven-years-old in the sixth grade.
All
three of us were restless sleepers. From the stories, we would be all
tangled together as we slept. Arms here and legs there, bodies on top
of each other. None of this bothered me, because I slept so soundly.
My brothers would wake up through the night, because of a foot in their
mouth or a hand grabbing their penis or whatever. Back then, we took a
tub bath. My sisters would take a bath together and us boys would take
our bath together after them. So, nudity between us brothers wasn’t a
big deal. It wasn’t that big of a deal between us and mom either,
especially when we were younger. She would either give us a bath, when
we were little, or supervise our baths when we got older. She also
spanked us and gave us corner time butt naked, so she saw us naked all
the time. After our bath, we would put on our Pajamas and watch TV
until bedtime. My brothers bedtime was always thirty minutes before
mine, so they would be asleep when I went to bed. I would usually have
to push at least one of them over, so I would have space to get in bed,
because like I said we were very restless sleepers, so they would be
sprawled out over the whole bed.
When I was ten-years-old and
in the fifth grade things changed for me. If you remember, my brothers
are only two years in age, but four grades behind me. That means they
were eight-years-old with one repeating first grade and the other in
second grade. From the stories they tell, they learned a lot of
interesting things from their classmates and especially from the older
kids at school. The kids more their age. The entire school had recess
together, so they mingled with older kids during recess. It is then
that I would go to bed wearing my pajamas and wake up the next morning
stark naked. This began happening more and more until it was every
night. I wasn’t a modest boy, but I was concerned as to how this was
happening. Pajamas don’t just slip off your butt on their own and we
didn’t wear briefs under our pajamas. No boy did back then. We all
wore white briefs for everyday, but not to sleep in when we were
little. That is what pajamas were made for. I figured I must have
gotten hot or something and taken my pajamas off during the night to
cool off. But it happened in the winter too, so I was confused. I
never found out what actually happened until I was an adult and at a
family reunion, when the conversation went to this very topic.
My brothers told the story of their friend Robert. Everyone called him
Bobby. Bobby was a year older than my brothers, so he was nine in the
fourth grade. Out on the playground he told them about how he strips
his brother naked at night, so he can play with his penis. He told
them how funny it was to make him get a stiffie. Bobby’s brother,
Johnny, was eleven, in the sixth grade, so to my brothers he was like
an adult in their eyes. Johnny was a year older than me at the time.
So, my brothers being the brothers that they are, started stripping me
naked at night and playing with my penis. They told me that at first
it was just to get me hard and pull my boner back and make it flip my
belly when they let go. Later it got even more fun when one night
while playing with my boner, I got the tingles. That is what they
called an orgasm, when they were eight-years-old. After they learned
about the tingles, they made me have a lot of them during the night. I
became their favorite toy. Now remember, my adult brothers are telling
this story at our family reunion. Sisters, mom and dad, cousins, aunt
and uncles. even nephews and nieces are hearing this story. I’m
hearing it for the first time and I’m embarrassed as heck.
Remember, I still sleep walked at night. So, now mom was finding me
stark naked around the house in the middle of the night, when I went
for a walk. Yes, she threw that into the conversation once my brothers
admitted to why I was waking up naked. Yes, both revelations were
embarrassing. Especially, since this was being talked about with the
entire family present. This means even my young cousins, nephews and
nieces and their friends were hearing this. Who knows how many of them
tried stripping their brothers at night after hearing this story? Now,
I don’t remember any of this except for waking up naked. My brothers
and sisters tell me that my face turned all sorts of shades of red as
they told the story about Bobby and what my brothers learned and the
games they played with me at night. Evidently a couple of my nephews
and one cousin sleepwalks. I wonder if they have the Hibernation
Syndrome also?
As I said, ten was a special age for me. My
life changed a lot and most of those changes I didn’t learn about until
much later when I was an adult. This is another one of those. I was
going back to my childhood town on a business trip and I was able to
get with my boyhood best friend James. Back then we called him Jimmy.
We were eating dinner together at a restaurant and our conversation as
usual went back to boyhood memories. The conversation got around to
our first sleep-over together. Jimmy came to my house. He didn’t want
me sleeping-over at his house, so he came to mine. Back then he just
said it was because his older brothers were mean. They were twelve and
thirteen at the time. Being a ten-year-old boy, I accepted that at
face value. It was at this sleep-over that we saw each other naked for
the first time. Since four boys in a bathtub would be really crowded.
Mom gave the twins their bath and then Jimmy and I took a bath together
with mom supervising us. When Jimmy got naked and I saw his penis, I
was very surprised because it was twice as long as mine. We were the
same age, but his penis was so much bigger than mine. I didn’t
understand it. I do now that I’m older, but back then boys didn’t see
color. Jimmy is a black boy. I’m a white boy. Black boys have bigger
penises. I think mom liked seeing Jimmy’s penis too, because she
smiled every time he got naked and we took a bath together. Mom was
still supervising our baths when we were twelve and thirteen-years-old
which was very embarrassing, which is why we started sleeping over at
Eddies around that time. After we finished our bath and put our
Pajamas on we watched tv until bedtime. The twins were already asleep
when we went to my room. I went ahead and stripped naked, because by
then I started sleeping naked, because I knew I was going to wake up
naked anyway. Jimmy asked me if I slept naked and I explained to him
why I do and he stripped naked too. We went to bed naked together. It
felt naughty. We both got stiffies and Jimmy’s stiffie was huge. We
played with them some before we both fell asleep. That’s the part of
my first sleep-over I remembered and shared with James during our
dinner. What I didn’t know is what he told me that happened during the
night of our first sleep-over together.
Jimmy said he woke up
in the middle of the night, because one of my brothers was playing with
his stiffie. He just had the tingles which woke him up. To this day
he can’t tell my twin brothers apart. I never had a problem, but I
guess others do. He watched my other brother give me the tingles and
he was surprised I didn’t wake up like he did. They explained to him
how I never wake up. They can do anything they want to me and I won’t
wake up. He told me that they proved it by playing the flip my penis
game. They got me stiff and flipped my penis over and over again.
Jimmy told me then he tried it and I stayed asleep. He even gave me
the tingles and I slept right through it. I asked Jimmy, why he never
told me about this. He was my best friend and he never told me about
what my brothers were doing to me when I was asleep. Now for those
that don’t know it, a black man can blush. His face turns red just
like us white men, just it’s harder to see. I knew what to look for
and Jimmy was blushing.
Jimmy then told me the rest of the
story. I don’t think he was going to tell me at first, but then to
explain why he kept my sound sleeping a secret, he sort of had to tell
me. After giving me the tingles, he told my brothers that he wanted to
try something that his older brothers made him do every night before
bedtime. They took all the pillows and propped me up with them behind
my back, so I was mostly sitting up, still sound asleep. Jimmy then
opened my mouth and got up close and put his penis in it. He says
nothing happened, so he pushed my jaws together, so my lips were
touching his penis and then he wiggled around until I started sucking
his penis. I liked to died right there in the restaurant when Jimmy
told me about this. My best friend told me that he stuck his penis in
my mouth, so I would suck it in my sleep. It was my turn to turn red
in the face. My face was so hot that I drank an entire glass of ice
water and asked for more. Oh. The story doesn’t stop there either.
Once the waitress leaves from filling my glass of water he continues.
He said once he got stiff, that I sucked his boner harder and harder
giving him the tingles three times, before my brothers pushed him off
me and tried it themselves. My best friend had me sucking his dick on
sleep-overs. No wonder he wanted to sleep over all the time.
He then dropped a bombshell. He told me he did this all the way
through High School. He told me I gave him his first ejaculation and I
drank it all. He told me when we had sleep-overs at Eddie’s house,
that him, Eddie and David, all had me suck them and I drank all of it.
I learned during that dinner with my best friend that I was a night
time cocksucker. He asked me if I ever wondered why they nicknamed me
Drac. My real name is Drake. I told him until right then, I just
thought they thought I was like a vampire is all, but now I know why, I
was a sucker. Not a blood sucker, but a sperm sucker. I sucked all my
friends all through Junior and Senior High School and never knew it
until right then. I know my face was red and for a boy with red hair,
blushing is really easy to see on pale skin.
During dessert,
Jimmy shares another revelation. My mother let him in on another of my
secrets when I sleep. She told him that I sleepwalk, so he can help
keep me safe at night. She didn’t realize that boys take every
advantage they can to have some fun at another boy’s expense. Once
mom told Jimmy, just before my first sleep-over at Eddies, he told the
other boys. So, the first time it happened was when I was twelve.
That’s when I started going to Eddie’s for sleep-overs, because it was
getting too embarrassing having mom supervise Jimmy and my bath, when
he slept over my house. I got up out of bed stark naked, of course,
and walked around their house for a while and then went to the back
door. The boys opened the door and I walked right outside. I was
outdoors stark naked. My friends followed me and let me walk around
the neighborhood naked. I was twelve-years-old. My penis was bigger
and my balls had dropped, so they were hanging. I wasn’t a little kid
anymore and my friends let me go walking naked out where I could be
seen. Jimmy told me that I was seen on a number of occasions. They
would just run up and explain to whoever saw me that I was sleepwalking
and they came to take me back home. Since they were in their pajamas,
the people always believed them. Now, none of us boys, slept in
pajamas anymore once we were twelve, but we all had them to wear around
the house after our baths. Jimmy and I slept naked and David and Eddie
slept in their white Fruit of the Loom briefs. They never would sleep
naked for some reason. Now, that I think about it, maybe it has
something to do with the fact that I was seen by some of Eddie’s
neighbors stark ass naked with my penis hanging out. Those neighbors
included men, women, boys and girls. My friends knew that I walked in
my sleep. Not a one of them told me. We played football in the vacant
lot and no one ever told me about seeing me naked walking in my sleep.
Now, I know why some girls giggled when they saw me playing with my
friends. They knew what I looked like under my shorts. I don’t get
it. How does something like that stay a secret all those years? How
come I only learn about this stuff late into my adulthood? Actually
come to think about it, I’m glad I didn’t know about it as a boy. I
couldn’t have done anything about it. So, why know? It would have been
that much more embarrassing if I had known what I was doing in my sleep.
After learning about all of this, the next story I have to share is
tame. It was after our mom’s passing and I was back home for the
funeral. I was staying with one of my sisters for three days. One of
those days both sisters and I were gathered around reminiscing about
the good ole days. The conversation came around to my sisters always
trying to catch me naked in the bath tub when I was twelve. They had
seen me naked before puberty, but I got really secretive once puberty
started. My body was changing and it was difficult enough for me to
accept the changes without my sisters seeing those very same changes.
My brothers, of course, saw every change and even got the benefit of
being able to jerk me off at night, so they could see what sperms
looked like while I was sound asleep. But my sisters had no idea about
how I was changing. According to my sisters it was my brothers that
let them in on the secret. Now, one sister is a year older than me and
one sister is a year younger than me. I’m sandwiched in-between them.
My wonderful brothers being the sweet boys they are knew about my
sisters trying to catch me naked. My sisters knew I was in puberty
just by the way I was acting. My brothers decided to let them in on
the secret and told them to come to our bedroom after midnight. My
brothers were wearing pajamas when my sisters came to our room. I was,
of course, sprawled out over the bed stark naked with my penis right
there to be seen. I don’t know if I was laying there boned-up or
not. My sisters didn’t tell me one way or the other, probably because
it didn’t matter because they got plenty of opportunities to see me
with a boner over the next few years. My sisters told me of just how
excited they were seeing me naked for the first time. They couldn’t
believe how big my penis had grown and that my balls were big too. I
was the first older boy they saw naked. They told me that later they
saw Jimmy naked and I wasn’t as big as they originally thought. I was
compared to him. Yes, my brothers let them come see me and Jimmy naked
together at one of our sleep-overs. They just couldn’t stay and do
anything to us, because they didn’t want to wake Jimmy up and get into
trouble. If mom found out, they would have gotten the spanking of all
spankings. But when it was just me naked, they could do whatever they
wanted without fear of waking me up or getting caught. They did too.
They played with my penis and made me ejaculate. Yep. They got to see
sperms for the first time playing with my penis. They even guided me
into there room a few times, when I was sleepwalking so they could play
with me without my brothers there. One of those times was when they
were having a sleep-over with two of their friends. Yes. Other girls
saw me naked and saw me ejaculate. I was the neighborhood sex dummy
where girls got to learn about boys and I never knew it, so I never got
to enjoy the fun of it, but then I also didn’t have to suffer the
embarrassment of it. Like I said, my sisters revelations are
embarrassing, but nothing as bad as my best friend Jimmy’s revelations.
This all stopped when I joined the military right out of High School.
I was at boot camp, when I was called into my drill sergeants office.
He sent me to the hospital to be evaluated. I had to stay in the
hospital for three days, after which I was discharged with a medical
discharge. At my hearing for my discharge is when I learned that I
sleep walk. My drill sergeant found me naked marching on the parade
grounds in the middle of the night. He sent me to the hospital for
evaluation to make sure I wasn’t faking it. At the hospital, I was
discovered walking around the hospital naked and after doctors examined
me, they declared me as being a sleep walker. I’ve never been
diagnosed officially as having Hibernation Syndrome. That is what I
call it after hearing all these family stories of me when I was a boy.
Now, I sleep behind closed and locked doors. I use butter knives to
secure my doors, so I never sleep walk outside anymore. As a boy it
might be considered funny, but as an adult man I doubt people would
find it funny. Once I heard about my Hibernation Syndrome, I stopped
sharing a room on company trips. Who knows what coworkers have done to
me while I slept, before I knew about my condition. Who knows what
other kids have done to me when I was a boy that I don’t know about,
because I haven’t heard their stories. I was a Boy Scout. I went on
camping trips. I was a member of the YMCA and we had overnight
activities where we slept together. I stayed with cousins and
grandparents, sleeping over with them. Who knows what else was done to
me and by whom? I do know that every time I think about these stories
that I have shared with you, I’m embarrassed all over again. Just
thinking about sucking off my best friends at sleep-overs gives me
chills up and down my spine. What’s even more humiliating than that is
knowing that every night of my brother’s lives after learning from
Jimmy about sticking their penis in my mouth, I have sucked them off.
My brothers didn’t have to jerk off until I graduated from High School
and went into the military. They had their very own cocksucker in bed
with them. Their only saving grace is that they admitted that they
felt guilty about it once they started ejaculating, so they sucked me
off also. I was getting blow jobs every night even though I don’t
remember any of them. Yes, it’s still humiliating, but at least I got
something for my humiliation. At least I think I did, because my
brothers could be lying about that and I’ll never know for sure.
Well, that’s it. At least as much as I’ve been told. I’m sure there
is more, but I probably will never discover any of it. I do wonder if
anything else happened. Boy Scouts? YMCA? School sleep-over?
Cousins? Co-workers? Who Knows?
