Maybe the girls with whom you interacted were not traumatized, but then again you mentioned neither age at time of occurrence nor specific activity; however, I stand by my statement that you were not an experienced lover and you were as clueless as they were.

As I said, all this does is prove the inner strength of girls. Where did I get the idea that a young boy is not the answer to a maiden's prayers? From listening to my sister, my nieces, my daughter, and the girls in my elementary school classes; from being at one time a boy myself, and from knowing through first-hand experience that when I was 9 or 10 I did not know a damned thing about love-making and I was not unique in that respect. How many fourth-grade boys really do? I chose 4th grade because of my experience with it.

And after re-reading my post, I still cannot see how you came to the conclusion that I advocated coercion or compulsion, when in fact I find both to be anathema, including coercion in the other direction: "Thou shalt not!"

What I advocate is letting the children choose when and with whom they want to learn to make love (and let us not delude ourselves: it must be learned, either by trial and error through practice, or from instruction).

There is a stage at which children experiment with their age peers, simply because there is no one else with whom they are allowed to associate, but there comes a time, usually 4th grade, when the girls are far more advanced than the boys. Thie 4th-graders who have had crushes on male teachers are legion; perhaps this is the reason that males are being sytematiclaly excluded from elementary schools: an accusation of molesting is not necessary; simply accusing a man of "inappropriate behavior" is enough.
Since, by definition, "inappropriate" is not only subjective but vague and undefined it is also impossible to refute.

You are attempting to extrapolate your individual experience onto the entire population; I draw my conclusions from those who know best: the girls themselves.
