Chapter 2: Daniel's Initial Assessment

“Hello, Mrs. Marshall. Please have a seat.” The doctor stood and gestured towards the two vacant chairs in front of his desk as Daniel followed his mother into the room. The teenager glanced around. Things had certainly changed since he’d last been in here. This had originally been a small classroom, but now all of the students’ desks and chairs were gone, replaced by a large office-desk, a doctor’s examination couch, and several other pieces of equipment, some of which Daniel wasn’t sure that he liked the look of.

“Hi, you must be Daniel,” said the doctor, reaching out to shake the boy’s hand. “I’m Adam Lomax. It’s good to meet you. If all goes to plan we’ll be seeing quite a lot of each other over the next twelve months, so we should get to know each other pretty well. Try not to look so worried; I’m sure it won’t be as bad you expect.” The man gave the fourteen-year-old a reassuring smile.

In spite of the situation, Daniel found himself smiling back. The doctor’s handshake was firm and friendly, and the man wasn’t anything like the young teen had expected: there was no white coat or stern manner. Dr. Lomax was wearing a soft, cotton, open-necked shirt and a pair of black, denim jeans and, if anything, he appeared even younger and better-looking than in his photograph. He was certainly younger than any of Daniel’s teachers.

Daniel’s mother lowered herself rather elegantly onto one of the chairs and gave the young doctor a smile as she carefully adjusted her skirt over her knees. Daniel groaned softly. He had an awful feeling that the next half-hour or so was going to be humiliating enough without having his mother throwing herself at the doctor. Why did she have to be there anyway? The appointment letter had said that at least one parent should try to attend the ‘initial assessment’ session in order that the doctor could get some background information from them. It would also give them the opportunity to meet the doctor and raise any concerns that they might have regarding the study. Daniel had pointed out to her that the letter didn’t actually say that she had to be there, only that she should try. He’d argued that it would mean her taking time off work and that he could probably answer all of the doctor’s questions himself anyway. When that hadn’t worked he’d had no alternative but to fall back on the truth: the assessment was to include a medical examination and it would be embarrassing for him to have her there. She’d told him not to be so silly, she was his mother, she had washed all of his ‘bits and pieces’ and ‘powdered his bottom’ for him when he was a baby, and he didn’t have anything that she hadn’t seen many times before. Her mind was clearly made up; she was going to be there and that was that.

“You look very young to be a doctor,” said Mrs. Marshall, making it clear that she intended her comment to be a complement rather than an accusation.

Dr. Lomax gave her a polite smile. “I know. People often tell me that.” he said, looking her directly in the eye, his tone serious. “It’s something that I’m working on. It may take me a few years, but eventually I’m sure I’ll start to look older.”

Mrs. Marshall just smiled a little uncomfortably, not sure whether the man’s response was intended as a joke or a put down.

“Right!” The doctor briskly rubbed his hands together and, picking up a pen, he opened a folder on his desk and turned his attention to Daniel. “I’m going to start off by having a chat with your mum, Daniel. I just need to get a bit of background. Some boys, quite understandably, find some of these things embarrassing. But try to bear with us. When we’re done I’ll be giving you a quick check over to establish that you’ve the right number of everything and that things appear to be in working order. It’s nothing for you to worry about. All I’m trying to do today is to confirm that there is no reason why you shouldn’t take part in the study.”

“You mean there’s still a chance that he might not be able to take part?” Mrs. Marshall asked.

“Oh, I really don’t think there will be any problem,” said the doctor, moving his attention to the woman. “I simply need to establish that his current physical and sexual development is not too far away from the average for his age.”

“Oh, I see.” Mrs. Marshall sat back in the chair and crossed her legs, a movement which caused her skirt to ride up her thighs.

Dr. Lomax didn’t even appear to notice. “Can we start off with Daniel’s medical history? Has he had any serious illnesses or anything like that?”

“No, I don’t think so. He broke his arm when he was eight, but that’s about all.”

“Is it alright now?”

“Oh, yes. It was only a simple break. The doctor at the time said there wouldn’t be any long-term damage.”

“So all in all you’d say that he’s fairly healthy?”

Daniel tuned out as the doctor and his mother talked for several minutes about minor things that had happened to him during his childhood. This was all pretty routine stuff. He’d got a little worried when Dr. Lomax had said that he might find some of the questions embarrassing. There was certainly nothing embarrassing so far. In fact, it would all be quite boring if it were not for the upcoming medical examination. Though the doctor had said it would only be a quick check over. Maybe he wouldn’t even have to get undressed. At least the doctor appeared to be nice; he could see why his mother found the man attractive. Yeah, Daniel decided, staring at the doctor’s handsome young face, this guy was pretty hot.

“When was the last time you saw Daniel without his clothes on?” The Doctor’s question brought the boy’s attention straight back to the conversation that the two adults were having.

“Not for some years,” Mrs. Marshall replied. “I think the last time was probably in the bath when he was about nine or so. These days he rarely even walks around the house without a shirt on.”

“So you’d describe him as fairly shy as far as his body is concerned?”

“He is around me anyway.”

Dr. Lomax nodded. “That’s fairly common amongst teenaged boys; particularly when their bodies start to change. Have you noticed any signs of him starting to take any interest in girls? Does he have a girlfriend that you are aware of?”

“Not that I know of. I think he’s a bit of a late bloomer.”

“What about other boys? Any signs of any sexual interest in that direction?”

Daniel felt his cheeks turn red and quickly looked away when he caught the doctor glancing at him.

The boy’s mother laughed. “Well, he does spend a lot of time with his friend Jason, but I don’t think they’re not up to anything like that.”

The doctor gave a smile and a nod. “I understand that there’s no Mr. Marshall?”

“No, we were divorced when Daniel was small. He hasn’t seen his father since he was four.”

“I see. So you’ve brought him up on your own?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Has anyone spoken to Daniel about sexual matters, such as the changes his body is going through, the importance of personal hygiene, that sort of thing?”

“I certainly haven’t. I thought they did all that sort of thing at school these days.”

“Some schools do,” said the doctor. “Though I think parents should make sure that everything important has been covered.” He paused to make a few notes in the folder. “I think that covers most of what I need to know at the moment,” he said, looking up again. “You’ll be invited to attend another session around six months into the study, so I’ll be able to pick up on anything that I’ve missed when I see you then.” He turned his head to look at the boy. “Right, Daniel, that’s the boring bit over. Now it’s your turn. Slip your clothes off for me. You can keep your underpants on, but take everything else off.”

Daniel’s stomach did a somersault and he suddenly felt sick. He was going to have to get undressed after all. All the way down to his underwear. And with his mother watching. Reluctantly he got to his feet and began by pulling his sweater over his head, looking around for somewhere to put it.

“Drop your things on the chair,” the doctor suggested, giving the boy an encouraging smile.

As Daniel pulled off his clothes, the doctor spoke to the boy’s mother, asking her if she had any questions about the study. This was a good thing as far as the teenager was concerned, since it kept her attention away from him, at least for the time being. He unbuttoned the front of his school shirt, but decided against removing it just yet; he may as well delay the inevitable as long as possible, he thought to himself as, with his shirt hanging open, he bent over to remove his shoes and socks. Still keeping his shirt on as though it were some sort of barrier protecting him from his mother’s gaze, he unfastened his trousers and, turning his back on the woman, he pushed them down and stepped out of them. Silently he cursed himself. He had on a pair of tight, black briefs. Why the hell had he put those on today? They didn’t even come quite to the top of his pubic hair! With his jaw clenched, he pushed his shirt back off his shoulders and slipped it off his arms. Almost naked, he self-consciously turned to face the doctor, his shoulders forward and his hands clasped in front of his groin. He knew that his mother was looking at him, since he could feel her eyes on his body, but he deliberately avoided looking in her direction.

Seeing that Daniel was ready, the doctor got up from behind the desk and moved to a clear space at the side. “Come and stand over here where we have more room.”

As Daniel approached him, the man put his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “There’s no need to look so frightened. I promise you that nothing that I’m going to do will hurt. Don’t worry about all those things you’ll have read in the information leaflet about measurements and whatever; I’m not going to be doing anything like that today. All I want to do is to give you a quick look over. It’ll only take a few minutes and then you can get dressed again.”

Nodding, Daniel tried to follow the doctor’s advice and forced himself to relax a little. At least in this position he was standing with his back to his mother which meant that she wouldn’t be able to see what the doctor was doing.

The examination proceeded pretty routinely. The doctor looked into Daniel’s eyes and ears, and held the boy’s tongue down with a spatula while he looked down his throat. Then, putting the spatula aside, he said that he was going to check the boy’s glands. He felt around Daniel’s throat, underneath his arms, and, very briefly, at the tops of his legs at either side of his groin. The man’s touch was firm but gentle and, had his mother not been sitting just feet away, Daniel might even have started to enjoy the attentions of this hot young doctor. Even having the cold stethoscope pressed against his chest wasn’t too bad, especially with the doctor’s other hand resting gently against his bare side.

“You appear to be a fit and healthy young man,” said the doctor, putting down the stethoscope. “You obviously keep yourself in good shape. Do you play a lot of sports?”

“Some,” said Daniel. “I play soccer for the school sometimes.”

“Really? You must be pretty good then.”

“I’m OK, I guess,” Daniel admitted. “Though we don’t win very often,” he added with a wry grin.

“Oh, well,” the doctor smiled. “At least the exercise keeps you looking good.” He pulled his chair out from behind the desk, placing it in front of Daniel and sitting down on it. “Soon be finished now. I just need to have at look at you down here.” He took hold of the sides of Daniel’s briefs and pulled them down past his knees, letting them fall to the ground.

Daniel was horrified. Just as he’d thought the worst might be over he was suddenly standing there completely naked. Sitting behind him, his mother would be looking at his exposed backside. He felt himself turning red with embarrassment. At least she can’t see my dick, he kept telling himself, as his heart threatened to beat its way out of his chest.

Daniel’s mother might not have been able to see the boy’s dick, but the doctor certainly could. The man was staring intently at Daniel’s groin and making notes on a pad in his hand. Daniel closed his eyes and prayed for this to be over. No one had ever seen him naked like this before. He’d taken showers with the other boys in the locker room after playing sports, but that had been completely different, since everyone had been naked together and no one had been staring at his body. Not that he’d been aware of anyway.

“Fuck!” The word slipped out before he knew what he was saying. Daniel’s eyes snapped open and he looked down as he felt the doctor’s fingers close around his penis.

“Daniel! Mind your language!” the boy’s mother exclaimed, in a shocked tone.

“It doesn’t matter, Mrs. Marshall. It was my fault,” said the doctor, giving the embarrassed teen a smile and a wink. “I think I took him a little by surprise.” He continued his examination of the boy’s dick, holding it out and feeling along its length before pushing the foreskin back and looking beneath. Letting the foreskin roll back to cover the head, he continued to hold onto the organ while he carefully examined Daniel’s balls with his other hand, rolling them around beneath his fingers.

Daniel was unable to suppress a groan. He was totally confused and unable to make sense of the conflicting emotions that he was feeling. Having his equipment played around with whilst his mother was watching was utterly humiliating, even if she couldn’t see the details; it was every teenaged boy’s worst nightmare come true. On the other hand, the actual physical sensations were like nothing he’d experienced before. He felt a strange tingling in the pit of his stomach and his pulse started to quicken. With horror he realised that if the doctor kept this up for much longer there was nothing on Earth that could stop him from becoming hard in the man’s hands.

A wave of relief washed over the boy as the doctor released his privates and sat back. “Everything looks fine down there. I’ve only a couple more checks to do.” He took hold of the Daniel’s wrists, moving them together in front of the boy’s groin. “Cover yourself up a minute,” he said.

The young teen wondered why the doctor had made him do that, and then seconds later it all became horribly clear as the man turned him around to face his mother. Thankfully she remained silent - Daniel was sure that if she had made any comment about his body he would have died on the spot. His hands cemented to his groin, he fixed his gaze on a point on the wall just above the door, determined not to look at her.

“Bend forwards for me,” said the doctor, putting his hand on the back of Daniel’s head and gently but firmly pushing him down.

Fighting to keep his balance and still keep his cock, balls and pubes all adequately covered, Daniel did as the doctor requested. He staggered a little and automatically put out his hands to save himself, catching hold of a chair. Big mistake. It only took little more than a second before he realised that everything he had was on show. He quickly recovered himself, but by then it was too late and he knew his mother had seen it all.

“Relax,” the doctor instructed, his voice soft and calm.

Yeah, sure, thought Daniel, that’s easy for you to say when you’re not the one who’s naked. He felt the doctor’s firm touch working slowly along the vertebrae of his back, moving gradually lower until the man was pressing right on the bass of his spine. The touch disappeared, but a second later the teenager felt his arse cheeks being pulled apart. He could tell from the feel of the cool air that his hole was fully exposed. He wondered what the doctor was doing back there and jumped when a light touch brushed across his sensitive ring. “Ooh!” It was an incredible shock. No one had ever touched him back there before.

“All done back here for today.” The doctor gave the boy a very light slap on one of his arse cheeks. “You can stand up now and turn around again.”

With intense relief, Daniel once more turned his back on his mother. Surely they were nearly finished now and he’d be allowed to put his clothes back on. He really didn’t like what the doctor had said about being finished back there ‘for today’, since there was an obvious implication that the man would be doing something else back there at some future time. The boy hated to think what that might be.

“Almost done,” said the Doctor, pulling Daniel’s hands away to once again expose his groin. “I need to ask you a few questions and check that you don’t have any erection problems, and then we’ll be finished.”

Erection problems? Daniel couldn’t believe he’d heard that right. “Erm, I don’t have any problems like that,” the boy stammered.

“I’m sure you don’t,” said the doctor, with a gentle smile. “But I need to take a look anyway.” He’d taken the teen’s cock in his hand and was alternately squeezing and pulling on it.

“This is not happening,” Daniel muttered, shaking his head as he watched the man massage his dick.

“Just relax and you’ll be fine,” the doctor said, soothingly, now also gently pulling and squeezing the boy’s balls.

Though Daniel tried to fight it, there was nothing he could do. A couple of minutes under the doctor’s firm, experienced touch and his cock was as hard as it had ever been before. He looked down at himself, seeing his teen erection pointing out from his groin and the doctor’s hand still making firm strokes up and down the shaft. No one had ever seen him hard before. Please don’t let him make me turn around again while I’m like this, the boy prayed. His mother had already had an eyeful of his dick, and if she saw him in this state he’d never be able to look her in the face again.

As Daniel watched, the doctor examined his erection carefully, squeezing it at various places along the shaft and moving the foreskin backwards and forwards over the head. “Nothing wrong here,” he said, looking up with a smile. “You’ve got a nice healthy erection.”

Daniel blushed, knowing his mother was listening to every word.

“Just a few questions now,” said the doctor, sitting back in his chair and picking up his pad. “I want you to try to be completely honest with me Daniel, even if the questions seem a little personal. Firstly, are you sexually active at the moment? I don’t want details, just a simple yes or no. Are you having any form of sexual contact with any other person?”

“N...no,” said Daniel.

“OK, that’s good. I suppose you do masturbate? Jack off?”

“Erm... well... yeah. I guess.”

“How often would you say you do that? Just every so often? Every few days? Every day?”

“Mostly every day?” Daniel replied, his voice very soft as he felt his face glowing red and the hot blush spreading down onto his shoulders and chest. He was completely naked, his dick was rock hard, and he was talking to a stranger about how often he jerked off. And worst of all, this was all in front of his mother. This was the most humiliating experience of his life.

“That’s fine, Daniel. That’s completely normal for a boy of your age; you’ve nothing to be ashamed of. When you jack off, do you always cum?”

“Yeah.” Daniel nodded, suddenly realising that the doctor was mostly using common terms for things rather than medical ones.

The doctor made a few notes and then he looked up and gave a friendly smile. “Thanks, Daniel. That’s everything for now. You can put your clothes back on.”

Feeling intense relief that it was all over with, Daniel glanced down at his briefs on the floor and wondered how he was going to manage to get them back on and retrieve his clothes from the chair behind him all without his mother seeing his still swollen cock.

“Just a second.” The doctor had noticed the boy’s dilemma. He quickly bent and retrieved the teen’s underwear and held them open for Daniel to step into. Pulling them all the way up, he took hold of the boy’s erection and bent it down, pushing it inside the garment. Daniel gave a surprised but grateful nod of thanks. The man then dragged the chair containing the clothes around in front of the boy so that he could get dressed without having to turn around. It didn’t take long for Daniel to pull on his clothes, covering his body and hoping that he never had to experience anything like this again as long as he lived.

The doctor had returned to his desk and he looked up as the teenager finished dressing. “Thanks for being so co-operative Daniel,” he said. “I know it must have been a little awkward for you today, what with your mum being here. I hope you didn’t find it too embarrassing.”

“It was OK, I guess,” Daniel lied, casually resting in his hand over the bulge in his pants that indicated his still present erection. Then he met the doctor’s eyes and found himself smiling shyly. He decided that in spite of what the man had put him through today, he really liked Dr. Lomax. Maybe this study thing wouldn’t be so bad after all. At least after today he wouldn’t have his mother watching.

The doctor returned Daniel’s smile and, getting back up from his desk, he casually put his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “Just one final thing,” he said. “You need to have a think about who you would like to have as a partner during the study. A lot of the sessions are done in pairs or groups of pairs, especially things like the stamina and endurance sessions, so you need to pick someone you wouldn’t mind being paired up with. Choose someone you get along well with, because you’ll be seeing quite a lot of each other, in every sense of the word.”

Daniel’s heart gave a leap of excitement. This was something that he hadn’t expected. He didn’t need to give the question any thought at all, especially after hearing that last sentence. In fact, he was suddenly almost looking forwards to whatever the doctor might have in store.

“Thanks for coming, Mrs. Marshall. Your help today has been much appreciated. As I said before, I’ll be in touch in about six months to invite you to come along for an update.”

“Thank you, Dr. Lomax,” Daniel’s mother replied. “It’s been very interesting.” She glanced at Daniel who blushed and looked at his feet. She turned back to the doctor. “If ever you’re at a loose end, give me a call and perhaps we can get together socially sometime.”

“Thanks for the offer, but I’ve a feeling I’m going to be very busy over the next few months.”

“Oh, well. It was nice meeting you. Goodbye doctor.”

“Goodbye, Mrs. Marshall. Bye for now Daniel, I’ll be in touch about your next appointment, but if you need to see me about anything at all before then, you know where I am.” He gave Daniel a final smile and patted the boy’s shoulder.

As they left the school building, Daniel’s mother shook her head. “It sounds to me like he’s going to be working too hard. He needs a good woman to help him let his hair down and have some fun.”

Daniel sighed. “Did you have to throw yourself at him like that?”

“I did no such thing.”

“Yes you did,” said Daniel. “You even asked him out.”

“OK, so what if I did?” the woman laughed. “He’s extremely good-looking, and very nice with it.” She turned to look at her son. “Though he wasn’t the only good-looking young man in there today. Give you a few more years and you’ll be able to give him a good run for his money. Today’s been a bit of an eye-opener for me; I hadn’t noticed how much my little boy is growing up.”

“Mum!” Daniel groaned. He felt his face instantly redden. Why did mothers have to try to make a career out of embarrassing their sons?

Still laughing, the woman put her arm around the boy and gave him a hug.
