Chaperoning is the joy of every trip with students, Geoff!  We have seven adults with us -- all teachers -- but mercifully, I'm not the leader.  I have a group of guys that I'm "in charge" of, but they're okay so far.  Of course, it's early.  We have eight more days here, so they'll start feeling comfortable next week and are bound to push the limits.  Ah... teenagers.

I suspect Tom that a big part of the job is make sure the boys and girls enjoy some freedom, while preventing "nature taking it course" if you get what I mean.  Pretty thankless job, so I'll thank you for doing it! I know how hard the job is.  I went on one of those trips as a student and made life, well, let's say less than easy, on our poor chaperone.*  I still have warm memories!

*Legally I did not need a chaperone -- I was 18, but now 17 years later, I realize how much I did need one!

16?  Wow.  I waited until I was 27, like all decent straight people.

Or maybe I was a loser.  I get the two mixed-up sometimes.

I regret not waiting a LITTLE longer. 

I'll second that emotion -- and based on your statement maybe you did need a chaperone! :o)  None of my business but I will ask anyway -- Marc, did you "lose it" to a girl or a guy?

Me personally - at 16 and 18 I didn't really care.  At 20 I felt a swelling of pride (no seriously, it was pride) because I had actually turned down two lovely ladies because I felt I'd regret it later.  Plus I have to confess I thought I was going to have many many more opportunities given how quickly those two came along.

Seven years, nothin' (well, I did turn down a threesome - THAT is no way to lose your virginity, I figgered).  By the time it happened I didn't care if it ever happened again, so long as it happened ONCE.

Never had or truthfully desired a threesome.  Why should two women go unfulfilled!*

*Kidding . . . . I hope . . . .
