You've expanded your repertoire to include some "R" rated material. Please, don't expand to your college days. What you did expose is a time when the "world" was a mystery. Annie and I watched Moonstruck the other evening and were touched by a scene when Danny Aiello explains to Olympia Dukakis why men are attracted to women...we're all looking for our lost rib. We learn by trial and error, but in the end, if we're lucky, we find the rib we lost eons ago.
I majored in virginiyy for years, Larry. My favorite movie that I watch every now and then is "The Summer of '42." If you have not seen it lately, you must. In the meantime, I will send risque' stuff. I know you like it.
Duel in the SUN-Jennifer Jones one of the hottest sex symbols of the 40S and 50S. She liked Duel in the SUN. Oh, how those teen-age girls were so much advanced then we awkward boys. Everything that took place was known by that sweet, innocent teenager. You did well with your heart racing like a pin ball machine. What beautiful days.
Great post! I don’t remember any matrons policing kids but I do remember the fireman in his funeral going dark uniform keeping his eye on preteens engaging in “making out” as it was called then! We called him “Donald Duck”
Ed I too had my first passionate kiss at the Castle Theatre! But it wasn’t on a date!
A crowd of very pretty girls used to sit on the left side under the balcony. I sat next to the last pretty unknown girl on my left and with two buddies next to me on my right. We never had talked to each other but had sort of flirted by holding our gazes for more than just a glance. I had no idea of her name or where she lived!
I bit the bullet by putting my arm on the back of her theater seat and then she just suddenly turned her face to mine with her eyes closed and gave me a big beautiful never to be forgotten passionate kiss! I fell in love with her that moment!
Whenever I went to the Castle Theatre after that I would always look for her but I never saw her again.
The first girl I ever dated (now my wife), I took to the Seekonk theatre (closed long ago, now
knocked down) in December of 1980 to see "Stir Crazy" It was our first date. I think I put my arm
around her in the theatre but when I dropped her off in front of her parents house in my 1965 Chrysler I didn't even try to kiss her! She thought I didn't like her, I was just so nervous! She still teases me about it to this day, I really was a late bloomer.....
Sweet story.
Ha, not sweet enough . . .

I struggled between Jennifer Jones, Rita Hayworth and the girl in the seat. I majored in Virginity for years.
Ha ha

Love it! Very funny and never forgotten. The matron was Mamma Gould. She confiscated my jackknife, and I never saw it again.
Great story. Got me thinking of my first kiss. Joanne Stokes. Spin the Bottle. Some friend's rec room. Montreal. Sixth or Seventh grade. c1962.
Ah, the first kiss, Mike. Never forgotten.
I laughed out loud a few times! One of my sons told me about his first kiss in the movies. This was definitely better!
Thanks, Shirley. I'm pleased that I tickled your funny bone. Be it known that I majored in virginity for years thereafter. Ha
Once again I was able to watch this story and feel your anticipation!
Thanks, Nancy. I remained in anticipation for years thereafter. HaHa

Love it. There was a boy's club of late bloomers. I too was one of them. HaHa
So explicit, I felt I was there
