    Just trying to lighten the mood. Let's go back to talking about dorm-rape then...


    ... odd version of the biscuit game, I thought it was a race rather than a bullying tool. I cannot for the life of me remember, which novel is it which talks about biscuit games and daisy chains?

      Well, I went to a bog standard (i.e. crap) Comprehensive school in the South Wales Valleys and I know about the 'biscuit game'. Even saw it played once at a party. (I did decline to play!).

        Yep, but I don't see a big problem if participation is voluntary. Unfortunately I'm not talking about voluntary participation, but child abuse carried out by 18 year olds while adult teachers turned a blind eye and kids felt too ashamed to tell their parents and get something done about it.
        And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          To be honest, it sounds as if Brillopads missus went to the best one. I'd rather go there. I'll take a pass at yours.

                Yeah, so how did this 'going off girls' thing happen to her then?

                by the way, are you sure about that?

                    Apparently it was as soon as she discovered boys. I have actively encouraged her to see if she has a lesbian side. But she says she would be very uncomfortable. Once she even asked how I would feel if she wanted me to have sex with another man! Not there is is anything wrong with being gay - it's just not my cup of tea.

                      Isn't that a bit old to start? How did that come about?
