Then we were going to have sex, but she was a virgin, so I went into the kitchen, and the secretly gay Marine next door shot me in the head. I call BS on this one. I doubt that the 18 year old wanted to have sex with you until _after_ you started lifting weights and smoking pot. 😉 ---

Well, see, this is the problem with the whole “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. If it hadn’t been for that, he _couldn’t_ have been shot in the head by a secretly gay Marine. I blame the media. Or the establishment. [sub](Still trying to decide if “Teenaged Snugglebunnies” is a band name or a dream I wish I had more often)[/sub] ---

Just want to say, there’s some hilarious shit in this thread. When I first read the opening post, I was inclined to take the guy at is word; I don’t lie myself, so I don’t usually assume others are lying. My reaction was simply a sad little shake of the head and a paraphrased quote from Fitzgerald: yes, the pretty people are different from you and me… But having seen all these posts calling it bullshit, I have to admit it seems pretty unlikely. In retrospect, the OP sounds a lot like those calls to “Loveline” you hear once in a while: “Caller \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, what’s your problem?” “Yeah, I’ve got a really big penis.” “Yeah? How big?” “Really big.” “Uh-huh. What’s the problem?” “Yeah, like, everytime I have sex with some girl, she says it’s really, really big.” “Sure. What’s your question?” “…uh…like…my penis is really big…” Same sort of idea. Anyway, thanks for all the laughs. It certainly took the depressive edge off the OP. ---

At first read the OP sounded “hinky”. I think it was the idea that a 45yo male would have social contact with an 18yo female. Maybe 'cause I am a very solitary person and don’t go to to church anymore or hang out with my neighbors. The people I do hang out with that have varying ages are usually close-knit groups like my Star Trek club. That being said it would be difficult for a single teenage person in this small group to “pursue” an older member without the entire group becoming aware. So my first inquiry would be how did they come to be introduced in a non-high school activity social event/activity? 😕 Second–I have yet to meet anyone 27 years older than myself who wasn’t a movie star who I would be remotely interested in for a sex partner. When I was barely legal (18 in Florida in 1985) to imbibe and trolling bars I admit I settled for mildly interesting and sweet-(one encounter w/a married guy-all other were single and looking too)-however I was in college and not inexperienced–and I certainly did not pursue. Now if Mitch Pileggi (X-Files), Patrick Steward (ST:TNG), or Sean Connery (Bond, James Bond) had been available for my first time 😉 I would have been only tooo pleased/interested (even now I would be 😉 ). So, josejones must be extremely handsome, suave, and debonaire for an 18yo to be interested. Third–Debonaire also implys mature and mature gentlemen do not kiss and tell. :wally So my vote is scoundrel for telling us about it. Of questionable intelligence for not waiting until she had graduated from HS (sex w/schoolgirl? kinda dumb idea). Scoundrel for infidelity. Score: Scoundrelx2 and dumb bunny as well. ---

I was visiting my younger sister at college and upon opening lil’ sis’s dorm room door abruptly to find her holding a formal gown up to herself while regarding herself in the mirror atteched to back of now opened door I blurted out, “It is the Titless Wonder!” To which she came back with, “Oh, shut up, Busom Queen” Good story– Mom was shopping at JACOBSEN’S one afternoon while I was attending high school and saw that they were having a bra and panty sale. So she picked out a bra for me(36C), my younger sister (34A), and herself (32B) because she was still purchasing our underwear for us (Lil’Sis & I) and we were not with her. So she is at the counter to pay and the saleswoman rings up the first bra, the second bra, and on the third one she gets this odd expression her face and asks,“Would you like to try these on to make sure they fit?” Mom stares blankly for a minute then realizes why the SW is concerned and explains ---
