Over here in my age group the bottom bunk was the subservient position. I don't think I could have survived a military existence, just too much on view! As a kid I could pretend to be disinterested but after 16 or so there'd have been no chance. I just love the hypocricy at work in the forces, all the sex you want as long as nobody admits to liking it. Thank heavens you got posted to germany! I would have sold my improbable soul for a racing bike, that was one of my young dreams. I thought nothing of riding 30 miles in a day even on that old beast I had, a racer would have been just amazing. I never once fell foul of anything untoward while I was cycling, the only danger I faced was right at home in a tiny village, ironic eh? Thanks for the hugs, always welcome Love Mac Scottie

In my youth the bottom bunk was considered the choice one. I only had to sleep in open dorm barracks several times in my life, all in military situations. So you can imagine that any enjoyment of male sightings were had but not to be enjoyed. Here is a strange fact: While I had many willing sex partners among my military mates, ( some who claimed to be straight ) I never served openly as a gay man until I got to Germany. My first bike was a wonderful three speed with a banana seat and a big fat back tire. They were the rage. Oh how I hated the "sudden stop center bar on the eggs" Then my older sister took pity on me as I aged and gave me a used 10 speed. I thought I was grand as the neighbor boys and I zoomed around the town. In those days we could leave in the morning, hit every grandmothers house for treats, and be home at night with no one caring or worrying. Thanks for sharing the many areas of your life. I know it must be hard to be giving up your privacy and to laying your live bare for the world to see. Man warm hugs, and a seat in the garden for you, Scottie Hello Mac.

Bear in mind that all I could see was framed between a top and bottom bunk. Bloody hell! If I hadn't had that old beast of a Hercules my entire world outside school would have been the confines of the village. I suppose that's one of the key differences with our childhoods. You had buses and stuff to get around, I had a bus service to Midhurst on one day of the week. I had a scooter as well but getting my bike at 10 and doing my Cycling Proficiency so that I could cycle to school really did change my life.

My pleasure! And yes, but boys HAVE dicks - boys are not, dear girl, dicks per se! I never had a bike. Only a scooter - the non-motorised variety. I didn't learn to ride a bike until in my late twenties on holiday with a boyfriend! Free ideas for posts a speciality! My pleasure!
