Given Nils’ huge crush on Lisa, he felt he had no choice but to try out for the gymnastics team. As an athlete, Nils wasn’t in Lisa’s league, but he managed to do most of the exercises at the basic levels. On the third session, Coach LeRoy explained the parallel bars. He had Lisa demonstrate the swinging dip with dismount. Nils was a little apprehensive, but Lisa offered encouragement. “I’ll spot you,” she said, “and don’t worry about the dismount.”

Things went well enough for a while. Whether Nils’ shorts were too tight or too loose or a little of both, on the fifth dip, his penis and scrotum escaped. Nils didn’t know what to do, so he kept swinging.
