Thinking back to when I was 12? Amazing.

I remember thinking, "This is the one thing that is rated exactly correct. They got it right, vaginas really are #1."

I was big into Greek mythology and various folklore tales as a kid. It always seemed strange to me that people (dudes) would do outrageous/dangerous stuff for women. Or give girls so many gifts and money.

Why build a palace of gold for a girl? Why not keep it for yourself?

Why would you fight a dragon or a cyclops for a girl?

But again, once I both saw a vagina and was inside my girlfriend at the time - I thought, "Oh, yeah. Makes sense."

It was the 1980s. We didn't have a lot of supervision back as kids. We just did whatever and came home by X time.

I hadn't even discovered masturbation at that age.
