How Stupid
When I was 13 and in middle school I encountered an old priest in the confessional who queried me about "any acts" after I confessed having dirty thoughts. I was at that time enthusiastically jerking off every day after school, and my foreskin had long since rubbed loose, so my dick head - glans - was exposed. In the school showers I noticed that all of the other boys had very similar penises. In other words, I realized that all of my classmates were for sure jerking off, That was what they assumed in joking and kidding around. In other words 100% of all boys did the deed. It seemed impossible that a priest wouldn't know this, so why would he tell me that I had greatly sinned, when I enjoyed it so much and hadn't harmed anyone else while doing it?
About this time I saw two guys in the locker room playing at gay sex, I mean offering an ass to be fucked. This was right in front of my locker and they had no "shame" but just laughed. I was fascinated. but didn't do anything until I was in high school. But I think that my attitude was positive. I didn't think that gay sex could harm you if you took precautions. The one way the old priest influenced me is that I didn't accept his condemnation, and although he told me to come back next week, I never did.
ADDED:
Just as Einstein said, the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Getting young boys to confess that they masturbate is a good example. I have never, ever met any male who stopped. It's even worse when you consider a gay couple, who are bound together so intimately. Give up? Stop? How stupid!
