Well said Ian. I agree totally that the feelings were there and I, like most of my mates at 15 - 16, became obsessed by those hormones flowing through our bodies.
However, society back then, circa 1976ish, frowned on sex at those ages. And thankfully, the young ladies (and parental/Church fears) did well to keep us "under control."
If we knew that our girlfriends were on the pill at 13, we would of been hanging outside the drugstores like dogs in heat! For those unaware (and as I've told hundreds of young ladies starting in 1st grade):
Guys are Dogs, not to be trusted
(oh yeah, IMO)
