I found the streaming routes failed and I had to download it. It's amazingly good, and oddly undated except in the charming way the coach's words are vintage. We could have done with something like that when we got sex education herein the UK.
I was given a "Family Doctor Booklet" called "The Facts of Life". Most of it was about banana fruit flies. It had a red cover and cost 1s 6d
Later, we were given "The 15+ Facts of Life", far too late for most of us, but we got it early!

It worked with real player.......
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

>a more innocent age, and somehow so much better
A more innocent age, or a more bottled-up one?
I have to say that despite having been exposed to the Internet, to the contents of your own very helpful site, and to modern society, I know just as little, and quite possibly a lot less, about the sheer mechanics of sex as any hypothetical innocent, virginal 21 year-old bridegroom on his wedding night.

That's because you can not learn about the mechanics of sex from an outsiders point of view. The subtleties of the act of sex are far too intricate and varied to master from a diagram. Only through imperical and practical experience can anyone master the art of sex.

... insofar as self-experimentation will generally provide a rudimentary knowledge of what gay sex is about, and once in a relationship you learn about each other by experience.
On the other hand, since the thread is concerned with sex in general, not just gay sex, I tend to Deeej's point of view. Teenage boys who are shy or who tend to be introverted can be scared witless about cross-gender sex because, although they have a vague notion of the mechanics, they have little idea about stimulation. The though of making a complete **** of it can be terrifying, and I'm not convinced that sex education today - at least in many schools here in the UK - focusses sufficiently on arousal and how to achieve it.
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

Greetings-
Find a copy of a very old book: "Art of Erotic Seduction" by A. Ellis. An amazing book for it's time, and my bible.

May I counsel some restraint, here, please. Before you arrived we had some posts that were capable of being misunderstood in a young man's direction. They caused a fuss and bother.
We tend not to worry about friendships and flirting, and it is difficult to see, sometimes, where a flirt ceases and it turns into something capable of being interpreted as a proposition.
I wonder if you would mind, please, looking at that style of post and reconsidering the choice of words. I really want the younger people who come here to feel wholly safe from we older and more...... worldly people

Hi Deeej,
for youth it was a more innocent age because less was known, thought about, taught, discussed or ventured into.
For adults perhaps bottled-up. I dunno.
It seems some people just naturally seem more well adjusted socially & to understand more about sex intuitively (like Marc who posted somewhere "Life continued on and so did the opportunities for encounters of a most precotious nature... As for signals... Well when I was younger I never met a boy that wouldn't play the game... Not one... They all wanted it."
Then others like you & me are shy, afraid, tenative, hesitant, whatever...
i'm trying to get over it..  TeddyB

Deeej, I was wrong. It was Martial, not Catullus. And you didn't spot the mistake. Now you can't possibly be the resident pedant! LOL
The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)

I have no worries that the post remains. I just don't want it to develop. Yes he is of legal age, no worries there. It was just, well, outside the ethos of the place. Or starting to be.
