It was the fad in Benin City way back in my secondary school
days. I attended the Immaculate Conception College and in my Year Three, I
seemed to be the only boy in the testosterone-charged citadel who had not
gotten a 'BJ'. All the boys would discuss how they got theirs with gleeful
descriptions and saucy jigs mostly ending their recant. I also noticed that
such boys thereafter seemed to walk with a swagger or a new jaunt to their
steps. Now, there was I , a very conservative kid, at the cusp of puberty,
still in the 'dark ages'.An innate shyness then towards girls was my secret battle.
It wasn't as if I was not 'fine' enough.
On the contrary, I
had been complimented with being a lad with teenage good looks by boys in
school and sometimes their female friends from the nearby girl school but for
me that was where it ended. And so, when most of my friends in secondary school
were either discovering the pleasures of one emotional adventure after another,
with some even going further to exploit the daring sexual adventurism of their
nubile curiosity, there I was; still a prude but a pride to my folks.That was
all that mattered to me then and it would all have gone on well for me, if not
for the 'BJ' fad that crept into the scene! And I seemed to be the only one who
had not yet had one! Somehow, I became the butt of jokes and I would hear a few
sniggers from the boys who could clearly see that I hadn't yet had a 'BJ'.
Soon, I couldn't take it no more. I just had to have one.And then she came
along and that changed everything. Kay was her name. 14 years of age like me
with 'forget-me-not' eyes and a pouting beauty, barely restrained by her hidden
sexuality. I can't ever remember how I got round to talking to her but we
seemed to hit it off almost immediately that day at her school's Interhouse
Sports Competition.
A couple of
after-school 'walk-dates' later, she noticed I would always sigh involuntarily
when I was with her and she asked me what was wrong. I had to stutter the truth
to her. ' I have been trying to get a 'BJ' for a while because the boys in
school have made me the laughing stock'. I told her. 'Why haven't you had one?'
she asked. How could one answer that question, what with my ultra-conservatism
shaped by a combination of Biblical morality and self-imposed discipline of not
just doing things because they were the vogue. 'Do you want to get one?' she
asked me in a very innocent voice. I could only croak an affirmative.
Kay took my hand and
led me through a dark alley in her street. I followed meekly. My heart was
beating fast and alien sensations were dancing in my body at the feel of her
touch. We came to the end of the dark alley. She turned to me and asked again.
'You are really sure you want a 'BJ'? Won't your mum be angry with you?' She
had a teasing smile as she said that. 'My mum won't mind, I'm sure' I replied.
Kay nodded and guided me out of the alley into a building which had a Barber
shop, owned by her brother. Thirty minutes later, I came out all smiles with
the then reigning 'Brothers Johnson' hairstyle on my head. All thanks to Kay!
