Thou shalt not have sex
...Was the constant warning from my step-dad. All through my teens. And even into my early 20s.

For example...

Me - "Dad, is it ok if I go to the cinema?"

Dad (aghast) - "Well, will there be BOYS there???"

As if I, at 16 was going to take each and every one out to the toilets and rape them. You get the idea.

Then we found out he'd been nobbing my LITTLE sister's mate for two years. At the same time as he was (attempting) to impose an 11 o'clock curfew on me (at 20).

There is no justice in the world.

I came up with a theory a few years back
You judge people by your own standards.

So far it's been proved overwhelmingly true.

Great post!
What film was showing at that cinema, or did your old man think they put rohypnol in the coke?

I think...
He thought that I was a nympho. And that all men would not be able to resist my immature, curve free body and frizzy hair.

I can find no other logical reason.

I don't know whether he knew how scared I was to TALK to them at that age - never mind anything involving physical contact!
