emember him asking if I would itch his “cock.”<br />
I guess it was more curiosity at his big organ<br />
than anything that led me to comply <strong>and</strong> I did. I<br />
had heard the word masturbate before, but I had<br />
no idea what it meant. (I honestly looked it up<br />
in the dictionary once under Master Bait). Anyway,<br />
I was stimulating him <strong>and</strong> he all of a sudden<br />
insisted that I stop. I didn’t know why at<br />
the time, but I did what he said. He then suggested<br />
that he return the favor. Well, he began<br />
to manually stimulate me, <strong>and</strong> the sensation was<br />
so great at orgasm I honestly remember that I<br />
made him stop for a second. Then I asked him to<br />
start again <strong>and</strong> the sensation came back <strong>and</strong> I<br />
made him stop again. I was too young to ejaculate<br />
anything, but it sure felt good. We<br />
repeated the cycle at least ten times before we<br />
quit.<br />
If Baden Powell knew what perverted acts <strong>and</strong><br />
latent homosexual tendencies came about on Boy<br />
Scout camping trips, he would probably roll over<br />
in his grave.<br />
According to Reevy (1967), among females there is a steady increase<br />
from about 6 percent at the age of five to 33 percent at adolescence<br />
who have had homosexual encounters, while approximately 60<br />
percent of males have had homosexual play in preadolescent years. If<br />
genital exhibition is regarded as sexual encounter then approximately<br />
99 percent of the females <strong>and</strong> 99.8 percent of the males report homosexual<br />
behavior. (Reevy, 1967). For both sexes, after genital exhibition,<br />
manual manipulation was the sort of homosexual encounter next in order<br />
of incidence, as reported by Kinsey. Mouth-genital contacts were reported<br />
by 3 percent of the females <strong>and</strong> 16 percent of the males with homosexual<br />
play experience. Vaginal insertions were reported by 18<br />
percent of the girls, <strong>and</strong> 17 percent of the boys admitted to anal intercourse.<br />
For the girls homosexual play was in the great majority of<br />
cases confined to one year <strong>and</strong> often to one or two such experiences.<br />
Some of the females in the Kinsey sample reportedly had begun masturbating<br />
as a result of homosexual encounters in preadolescence.(Kinsey,<br />
1953, p. 140).<br />
An experience with the same sex (two girls) was<br />
with my best friend. We were both at the age of<br />
twelve. I stayed with her at night a lot because<br />
her mother worked nights <strong>and</strong> her father was not<br />
living. One evening, in bed together, we (age<br />
twelve) started to talk of sex.... We ended up<br />
playing the whole sex act, until we decided that<br />
what we were doing was foolish. We remained best<br />
friends all through school, <strong>and</strong> never discussed<br />
the subject again.<br />
Sue dared me to touch her breasts. I was very<br />
afraid <strong>and</strong> repulsed by the idea, but I did do it<br />
because I didn’t want her to see I was afraid.<br />
When she touched my breasts, I really enjoyed<br />
