I had thought they same thing, Perna, with the exception that I never FELT like we were experimenting. I felt like I was being done "to". And yes he was 3 years older, but in my book 13 is a lot different than 10. I don't think he was predatory- but just that I felt like I somehow "had" to go with him. It somehow made a weird imprint on me, anyway, you're right. I rarely have thought about it, and had a bit of guilt when I was a kid.
