In December 1969, I had just turned 9 (my birthday is in November). They were probably just trying to help out, so I wouldn't have to go all the way home in soaked clothes in the winter.
Straight boys used to have no problem with nudity, with the biggest controversy being nudity in front of girls. (Which you shouldn't do deliberately, flashing's still bad, but the question was if you had to.) That changed in the 80s and 90s, with only us backward (i.e., living in a city of less than a million people) types keeping up any semblance of the tradition.
Blame homophobia, blame AIDS, blame porn, blame obesity, blame the fact that parents in the late 20th century were idiots who saw a danger under every rock. But the opportunities for sausage sightings went down for my generation. (And no, I don't know how to square that with dick pics.)
Ok, I fixed the reference. It was a white shirt and black pants
ReplyDeleteSweet story. You must have been one good looking dude. The older boys wanted to see you naked and wanted you to see them naked.Semi-innocent score!

Why were you ordering ice cream in December?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the question. Ice cream has no season.
DeleteTell us true: did you jerk off to/with that underwear, Boomer?
ReplyDeleteI was nine years old, too young for that sort of thing.
DeleteReally? That's about the time I started -and you said you kept 'em for years... Still a great story. :)
