MOST GUYS HAVE BEEN CAUGHT in sexually compromising situations at one time or another-e.g., being caught by the librarian while making out with another boy in the reserved books section, having a family member walk in on them while they were busy rubbing one out in their own bedroom, getting interrupted by the custodian while exchanging blow jobs in a public restroom, having a hiker or camper spy on them as they were shagging a stranger in the woods. In most such cases, the guy caught off guard reacts swiftly by attempting to pull his pants up or at least cover up with a blanket or other nearby object. In some cases, however, the guy just keeps going like there has been no interruption at all, perhaps enjoying or even welcoming the attention. The person who catches the horny guy in action usually reacts in shock and quickly turns away, embarrassed. Sometimes, though, that person just stands and stares at the action, whether the one caught is aware of his presence or not. Or that person might even join in on the fun. Caught: Exhibitionism, Voyeurism, and Consequences is a collection of such scenes in poetry and prose-short ones and long ones, funny ones and not-so-funny ones, honest, uninhibited, and uncensored-which can be read in any order, depending on what kind of mood you are in at any given time.
