Raging hormones more often than not lead to unfortunate events. Anyone who’s ever been a teenage boy understands this more than anyone. Once under the bidding of our hormones, we usually end up doing things that they would eventually grow up, look back upon and chuckle. Legendarily stupid things have been done for the sake of appeasing such hormones. In the case of 16 year old Leo Smith, from a small town in West Newbury, Massachusetts, a simple porn search nearly had fatal results.
Leo is but a quiet boy, often described by many as shy and perhaps even nerdy. Short in stature, with thick glasses to boot, Leo seemed like a supporting character from a teenage romantic comedy, the staple geek who could only wish for the girl of his dreams. In reality, there was nothing romantic about how Leo passes his time. It turned out that the teen was on his way to becoming a chronic masturbator, a problem that remained unchecked since his parents deemed their son’s constant abuse of himself as something that was “perfectly natural”.
“He spends hours locked in his room, just in front of his computer, claiming he was working on a school paper,” revealed a teary eyed mother as she attempted to recount her son’s brush with death. “We just didn’t mind it. After all, that’s what teenage boys do, right?” She later learned that whacking off six times a day is not exactly what teenage boys normally do.
On the fateful Saturday morning, the insatiable teen was at it again, scouring the world wide Web for his latest muse. On a day when Leo had used up all his hand lotion, he opted to lubricate his genitalia with soap and water, taking comfort in the fact that his parents were out and he was free to ensure his penis’ protection from friction burns.
Leo was using one hand to navigate his desktop while the other dipped in a bowl of soapy water as he was trying to get the old engines to rev up. He has yet to find a suitable piece of material when the fuse blew.
A disgruntled Leo ran towards the fuse box. In his hormone stupor, the fact that his hand had been soaking in water for several minutes somehow escaped his mind. He was reminded of the fact in a spectacularly shocking fashion.
Miraculously, Leo survived only with minor burns and wounds with a deep sense of regret and shame.
