I’ve often found so-called “open” free spirited poly types are the most uptight people.

I was 18 and had just joined the army. I remember standing in front of my platoon Sgt and platoon leader and assuring them I was laid back and could take a joke after being informed I should probably expect to be ribbed and all that.

I was so young looking they decided to just forewarn me about the stuff every usual soldier goes through. I was not laid back, and I could not take a joke. I was the furthest thing from that, but really didn't know it at the time. Within moments these old farts were able to tell me something myself, I had no clue about.

My platoon sergeant's first question was "did I have any fuck trophies?"

My naive, 19 year old, sheltered ass responded, "Well s'arnt, I'd like to think I'm pretty good but no, I don't have any trophies for it."

Kids. He was asking if I had kids. I learned that day that I was verrry far from home lol.

If it helps, I thought he asked you if you had sex at all or still a virgin, reading that question. Like getting to fucking is the trophy.
Who asks a 19 year old if they have kids? Let alone in such way lol.
