I was sitting in the sauna last night, per usual, getting my 30 minutes in.
For the first half of the session, there wasn’t much chatter, giving me time to focus on some deep breaths.
Then the much younger males began talking about fasting and their spiritual practices. And it wasn’t long before these blokes started joking about jerking.
At first I thought they were playfully jesting about choking their chickens, but soon realized they weren’t. They were unashamedly revealing their porn fixation and hand-eye tendencies.
I sat silently, wondering how deep they would travel down this hole. To my amazement, they weren’t as unashamed as they previously appeared.
“It’s a bad habit,” a bearded one remarked. “I was able to go ten days without doing it, then I gave in. I couldn’t help myself.”
“I gave it up,” another replied. “The key for me was to watch the videos but not to touch it. Then this led to not watching at all.”
“I know it’s not good for you,” said the bearded gent. “Watching that stuff is bad for your brain.”
The abstainer then admitted that when he was fapping he didn’t have any meaningful conversations with women. “I told myself I gotta get away from this. I gotta go and meet real people.”
“It’s hard,” the bearded one mentioned. “They make this crap so addictive.”
The guy sitting next to me noted my ears. “I see you got some cauliflower ears,” he says.
I nodded.
“You do jujitsu?”
“No.”
“Well, what do you do then?”
“All kinds of stuff,” I answered.
“You wrestle?”
“I’ve done some of that. Now I’m sitting in the sauna listening to interesting conversations that I can write about.”
“Uh-oh..”
“No worries. I don’t name any names.”
“What’s your name?”
“No name.”
“You don’t have a name?”
“I do. It’s noname’. Just say it with a slight accent and it’ll make sense.”
I looked at my timer.
“How long you staying in here?”
“Thirty minutes. And I have 58 seconds to go.”
As the final seconds ticked away, I stood and headed out the door.
“Who is that guy?” I heard as I was getting ready for my cold shower.
As the cold water poured over my back, I silently laughed to myself.
Noname’.
No fapping Noname’.
