Okay fair enough but I find it hard to work up the same 'enthusiasm' for this thing like other people.

There is no "enthusiasm" involved. different events, different times, and different people make for different results. What happened to me I would not condone happening to a 15 year-old. At 17 I was 6'3" and weighed 210 lbs and had worked every summer since I was 11, and most winters too.

I was pretty mature for a seventeen year old. Today I do not condone what she did, but when I was 17 I took advantage of it. Over that summer I came to know the woman. We discussed a lot of things. In my heart I do not believe that this would have been a pattern that she would have repeated. I was just as guilty as she was (morally as opposed to technically that is; in reality I bear no feelings of shame or guilt about the episode). It might be hard for some to understand but it is clear in my mind and I guess that's what counts.
