Checking in as a nerd who went to high school in the 00's. Yes, we were still fucking then. Especially the marching band nerds. Don't get me started on what people got up to on our long bus trips...
LOL my god you band fags were THIRSTY. (Archie Bunker voice: What?! That's what we called them people in dose days!) One of my band friends was little Miss Christian, plainly dressed, straight A kinda kid, raspy voice from an emergency tracheotomy.
One day in advanced European history, hissing at me, "Have you tried tying Debbie (my gf) up?! Steve tied me to the bed and it was awesome! Railed my brains out!" "๐ Uh, yeah, we tried that and loved it!" Next thing we're comparing notes on knots and BDSM techniques. "Couldn't get away, right?" Then class started. Back to business!
Still laugh my ass off at the American Pie band camp chick! Yes kids, we did that shit.
LOL, first time I got my finger wet was at a church camp retreat. They had to know what was going to happen if you throw a bunch of 14-17yo kids in sleeping bags and turn the lights off. Movie night at the church down the street was date night! Yeah, just going to throw this blanket over us. It's cold, OK?!"
What i have found consistently so far is that in church related environments, adolescent sexuality is accepted (as long as you don't talk about it or are queer) more than the otherwise prudish tendencies would make one expect. i wonder about why that is.
Well that's an eye-opening thought! Yeah, we teens didn't give two shits about religion, youth group was for meeting girls and boys. And it worked! And now you got me thinking, the adults had to know.
Maybe the idea was that we could get our hormones on without actual sex. Not like I was railing Jenny in the Methodist rumpus room. That came later.
