^I'd like to delve into that alarming comment if you're ok with discussing it, either here in the thread or through PM.

ty for sharing btw.

"He was one adult that never tried or hinted at any hanky panky with me."

I had several that wanted to mess around, one or two of my bosses, another guy that my brother worked with who was in his mid 30's?

I was young but had been around the block, so I understood that some older guys saw me as cute or dare I say "hot", it never surprised me.
I found the guy that I spoke of as refreshing, just a decent man, even back in the '60's they were in short supply.

I would add to this that I have seen in many cases that a young boy is often ignored or rejected by uncles in the family.
In my case soon after my dad's death I met an uncle that I had never known, he needed a place to stay and moved in.
This guy saw me as competition, he stole many things that my dad had left me, milked my mother for every dime that he could get and was quite cruel verbally towards me.

The other "men" in the family knew about it and did nothing, I have spoke with many who lost their fathers when they were young and experienced similar circumstances.

I also have noticed that in certain ethnic groups there seems to be more of a "step up to the plate" attitude. Uncles and older men in the family don't exploit widows and the fatherless, they help them.

Perhaps it's because religious beliefs and cultural traditions have kept them from the corruption of American greed.

^ yeah I can agree with the beliefs, culture and traditions thing there.

This shit was going on even back in the 1960s... no wonder this country is fucked and plummeting full speed to hell.

That is some seriously sick shit. Were these assholes wanting to get with you when you were underage and knew it?

I've had my own share of sick fuck wads wanting to bugger my ass, fortunately I carried a hunting knife on me and actually had to use it on one sick fuck when I was 16. Even more sad though, I've had to deal with a lot of older women wanting to "try things" with me when I was underage.

Fair or not, sometimes it seems men tend to get dealt a pretty jacked up hand and then were just expected to suck it up and move along. And yet here we are with today's state of the world. Doesn't take a genius to connect the dots....

Yeah, they knew, I looked like I was 13 when I was 15, at 18 I could have passed for 16.
To me, it was no big deal at the time. They liked dick just like I did, but, I had no interest in what I then saw as fat old men. My tastes were like theirs, a teenage guy on the slim side.

This has been going on since man has been on the scene, history shows that, it should be no shock to anyone. It doesn't make it right either. I just don't feel "victimized".

I found that what supposed family did was worse then some dirty old man wanting to play with me, you expect family to unite, stick together and be supportive. I saw none of that.
I attribute it to our "me first" culture, the sense of entitlement that some have. 50 years after my mother received an inheritance her step siblings were still bitching about a lousy $5000., there is only one sibling left, she just hit 90 and still brings it up, what pathetic people.
