A black man, alone and unjudged, stands before the mirror, his reflection a silent witness to his intimate ritual. He begins with a gentle touch, a whisper against his skin, a tease that sends shivers down his spine. His hands, dark against his chest, trace a path downwards, circling, teasing, until they reach his throbbing length. He grips himself, feeling the heat, the pulse, the life that courses through him. His strokes are sure, steady, a rhythm that builds, a dance that ends in a gasp, a shudder, and a flood of release.
