The good father...

[Big RR]

I have to agree; I had more than my share of sexual activity in my teens, but never once dd I use any force or take advantage of someone "under the influence"; I can recall a good number of times of stopping when it would have been easy to continue because, even then, no meant no. Many of us wer juet having fun in those days and we always took precautions to prevent pregnancy. I never would have thought to use physical force to get what I wanted--that was going way too far--and I think a lot of boys/men would have greed with me at the time.

When my daughters reached adolescence I let them know that it was their decision (and it was OK to say no) and used Ray's open communications style with them to be sure they were safe and comfortable with their decision (although they knew that I would prefer they wait and why), but I also never pried or tried to find out what was happening; they grew up OK, as most of us did.

"My mama told me, you better fuck around (fuck, fuck)
Oh yeah, you better fuck around (fuck, fuck around)
Ah, there's some things that I want you to know now
Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
The women come and the women gonna go now
Before you tell 'em that you love em so now
My mama told me, you better fuck around, (fuck, fuck)
Oh yeah, you better fuck around (fuck, fuck around)
A-try to get yourself a bargain son "


We loves us a good bargain.
