Striving to Become the Ideal Man in a World of Reversed Chastity

(Kashima’s POV)

“Hmmm, hmmm♪”

After class, I hummed to myself as I slung my school bag over my shoulder and quickly left the classroom. There were many reasons why I was humming to myself, such as there were few classes today, today being Friday and tomorrow being a weekend off, but the main reason was…

“… Hehe.”

Anyway, today I was able to get the LINE contact of my male classmate, Kurahashi! This was actually the first time I’d exchanged contact information with a male student, so I couldn’t stop grinning.

(…Huh?! M-maybe…this is what they call a popular period??)

It was a sad story, but I’d never had a boyfriend in my 17 years of life. It was really hard to get along with the opposite sex, right? But seriously, how did people get boyfriends?

As I thought about this, I thought of the girls around me who had boyfriends. Those girls were either cheerful and sociable, or a bit of a tomboyish, aggressive type, or those who had leadership roles in sports clubs or the student council. Ah, yeah, I didn’t belong to any of those categories… ha.

But I did try to be popular with boys, didn’t I? I read fashion magazines and I took care of my appearance. Hmm, but…

(The important thing is my communication skills…)

Because when I tried to talk to boys, I got nervous and couldn’t speak at all! Even when I tried to talk to them face to face, I got flustered and stuttered… ha. I could talk about erotic things with the same sex without hesitation, so I wondered why I got so nervous talking to the opposite sex…

But then a certain opportunity came my way. It was Kurahashi-kun. Kurahashi was in a sports club, so he had a slim build and was the rare type who gave off a healthy erotic vibe.

Well, it wasn’t that important, but why did sports guys look so erotic? Their thighs visible through their shorts during gym class, or their abs peeking out from under their shirts, were so erotic it was crazy!! Kurahashi, who was such a feast for the eyes, had recently started messing with me for some reason! Of course it got me all excited!

(Plus, I don’t know why, but Kurahashi is so easy to talk to.)

I only recently had a proper conversation with Kurahashi, and naturally I got really nervous… but I felt less nervous than when I talked to other guys.

I mean, even though Kurahashi was of the opposite sex, he talked to me like a girl. Even though we were of the opposite sex, we were quite close, and he was open to naughty talk, and he even let me touch his boobs… That was too much of a turn-on for a virgin like me! (I’ll definitely make Kurahashi and I get along well from now on!)

No, guys who were open to naughty talk were mythical creatures! I’d only ever seen that in erotic manga! So I’d make sure we’d get along well from now on…! Then there’d be a chance, right? ? Because of that feeling today… you were inviting me, right??

(And it’s probably…)

Also, from the way I talked to Kurahashi, I think he probably didn’t want a girlfriend, he was just genuinely interested in sex.

Well, the reason I thought that was because being interested in sex and looking into love hotels and such was something we did in our daily lives. So, I guess Kurahashi-kun had a boy’s skin but was a girl in spirit?

Well, I was just joking, but if Kurahashi-kun really asked me out just because he was interested in sex…

(But is that too ideal for me!?)

I wanted a boyfriend too, didn’t I? Of course I did! But even if I got a boyfriend, I couldn’t have sex right away, right? When we girls got a boyfriend, we wanted to have sex right away… but guys didn’t think like monkeys, did they?

A girl who asked you to have sex the moment you started dating would seem too much like she was dating you due to an ulterior motive and a guy would absolutely hate it, right? They’d be turned off, right??

After all, from a male’s perspective, a guy wouldn’t offer his body to you so easily until they’d gone on a lot of dates and gotten to know each other well, right? Sorry, this was all just a virgin’s fantasy, but wasn’t that how it was in general?

And then, at that time, Kurahashi had claimed that he was interested in sex. Of course, that would get me excited.

“Hmm… huh?”

On my way home, I tried to take out my smartphone from my blazer pocket, but then I realized it wasn’t there.

“…Ah, I left it on my desk…”

Now that I thought about it, I was sneakily looking up love hotels on my smartphone under my desk during class today. I thought the teacher almost found my smartphone back then, so I quickly hid it in my desk.

“That was close… I’m glad I realized it before I got on the train.”

I was relieved that I realized I had forgotten such an important thing right after I’d left the school gates. I therefore hurried back to school to get my smartphone back.
